Corrie Thread - I've seen lace with fewer holes than the current plots - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Surely Phelan will have to get his comeuppance by Christmas?

Mind you, I hope Anna gets sent to prison too.

As a sidenote...

What happened to Tyrone and Fiz's engagement? One or other of them popped the question two years ago and since then, not a word. Are either of them even wearing an engagement ring? Yet another plot hole.

Well I've given up on it now but I have one of the most annoying characters living in my house. I named our ginger cat after a girl in the show who was a nice person 9 years ago, I bloody well can't stand her now.

Poor puss, luckily she doesn't care.

Brookside imploded as their story lines became more and more sensational and ridiculous. Last summer EE's were talking about changing direction as viewer numbers were falling and a reason given was the unrelenting grimness of the story lines. (I don't watch EE so don't know if anything has changed - I think a storyline where a baby might have been conceived through incest was causing consternation).

I saw the Nathan actor playing Victoria Wood's son in Housewife, 49 the other day. He was very good. There are some dud actors for sure, but also some good ones like him who try to make the best of poor writing.

Grunkalunka - yes, I abandoned both Brookside and Eastenders because of the unrelenting grimness of the storylines, which also became less and less in touch with reality.

I gave up Emmerdale Farm when they killed off my favourite character in the plane crash and renamed the village.

I don't think I will persevere with Corrie beyond Christmas if the storylines continue as they are and Phelan doesn't get his comeuppance.

I met Nathan in the pub tonight. He was very nice!

Dethany also thought Nathan was very nice, and look what happened to her!

I think my 10yo ds sums corrie up perfectly. "Why do you watch this drivel? It's about arguing, people splitting up, being unhappy and more arguing."
Fair point!

Just saw an advert for All Star Musicals and Bethney is doing Don't Cry For Me Argentina !

How quiet is this thread? Are we all in shock? Do wenelieve it?

I'm not exactly heartbroken

I reckon he'll be back eventually, maybe with a new head and memory loss and ends up being besties with Phelan.

Is it real, though?

Or is it a Cunning Plan?

How come David was in his car on Nicola's street? Did I miss some scene where he decided to follow Phelan?

Why did Pat pretend to Eileen that Nicola was in Australia?

Because if Eileen asked her why problem she say the truth about him, I guess.

Conveniently empty drawer

What's with this sudden death of Gary? I'm confused. Has David secretly killed him or made him run off or something?

Is Gary being dead the spoiler? Because I've just realised I don't care any more.

I'm more interested in fleeting thoughts of Bethany one day maybe having a baby and Audrey being a great-great-grandmother and still flirting marvellously with Ken

Honestly there’s like 2 kids left that a parent hadn’t been bumped off now we can add Jake to the list! And stepdad to Go along with real dad to whatever her baby is called. Plus the bump. They need to set up street counselling it’s ever house

I too am puzzled as to why David followed Phelan, and in a car that he must keep handy somewhere. Someone ought to tot up how many cars and vans there are in the street.

Gary's not exactly a great loss, is he? Can we send a few more over to be bodyguards in dangerous places?

Anyone bet that Luke will congratulate Zeedan on Rana's 'pregnancy'?

Because he got wind of something between them few weeks ago. Gary had said was just a kiss or something after he caught them
Chatting about baby. So when P looked at her photo in house he suspected something going on.

There's so much misery. They should bring back the humour and concentrate on fewer characters. Audrey & Ken were about to get together a year ago. What happened to that? Moyra was a good character. Has she gone for good? I'm hoping that Peter will perk up with a certain character's return. His character is wasted at the moment. Where are all the unemployed factory staff getting their money from to eat & drink out all the time? Eileen used to have a dry wit in the cab office with Steve. She is a dull character now. The Rovers is the heart of the street and needs a charismatic landlady.
