There still would be loads left!! Agree Roy would be right man for the job.

I was looking forward to on going saga not seen part 2 yet. Looks like it was over like flash in the pan. Hopes that she need to go into protection for own safety up north or down south... anywhere else at all.

millimat · 19/04/2018 06:53

Haha @Smeaton
However,please can David stay with Roy?

Yorkshirebetty · 19/04/2018 07:33

The best scenes of late have featured Roy. Talking about library books or the origin of expressions somehow is more compelling than all the wild eyed over acting and nonsense involving steroids, unlikely doctors and the ghastly Summer.
(Yes to the explosion story....)

I really cannot stand Kate, the inane grin/pout whatever it is and permanent 'worried' look. I have to look away when she's on.

FlowerOfTheValley · 19/04/2018 19:38

Smeaton I like it, thanks, but can you please make sure Michelle, Gina and Rosie are there too! Also another vote for David to stay with Roy along with a few others. Daniel has grown on me.

Some characters are watchable with a good story and lame without one. Roy, however, is always watchable.

Akire · 19/04/2018 20:16

Saw the rest of yesterday’s. Why didn’t they do while honour killing story? Half population be think what’s big deal over one way! Why hint at it and not say it?

Not sure cope with her and Katie pulling faces and getting it on and every opportunity. Least zee sister can move back home. There’s room!

Yorkshirebetty · 19/04/2018 20:59

Please get rid of the irritating Gina. Her and Dev are another unlikely couple. We should have a competition for the worst acting of the week - Rana's mum? Kate? Sophie? Summer?

Oh yes rubs hands

Worse acting award
Pointless story line award
What else?

Yorkshirebetty · 19/04/2018 21:57

Worst acting
Pointless storyline
Inconsistent characters
Tardis house of the week

ellenanora5 · 19/04/2018 22:54

Haven't watched in a while, so now Nicola and the awful Seb is going to move into Eileen's mansion, will Billy move back in when he arrives back from wherever he is too.

I know it's been said but jesus what dreadful acting school have some of them gone to, complete crap, I didn't give one fig what happened to Rana or the others, Kate is just dreadful, so bloody whiny and needy, bet she drops Rana like a hot brick as soon as she spots someone else she fancies.

Ali the doctor is creepy and sleazy as fuck, I can just see him holding them all hostage in the surgery one day until Michele admits she loves him, then BAM he'll shoot half of them anyway but unfortunately they'll all survive.

Grin ellenanora5
I'm always surprised by how bad the casting and acting can be in Corrie - it's not as if actors, especially ones that would bite off their arm for a steady income in a soap, are in short supply.
How do we end up with with "actors" like Maria and Sophie and their family members like Faye who keep having their contracts renewed but have no talent whatsoever and worse still - no charisma/screen presence - which characters like Steve at least have which can help gloss over their acting deficiencies.

They bring in new characters with no seeming plan for how to use them - e.g. Angie and Jude and the woefully unused Erica, Jimi Mistry etc. They cast with total lack of common sense - Ali as the most unlikey trainee GP ever, Craig Charles' disastrous "family" - did they do no scenes together with potential actresses to check for "chemistry"? I could go on all day - it just seems really strange when so much money rides on Corrie as ITV's flagship programme.

BoCha · 20/04/2018 08:27

So Nicola, Seb, Eileen and Summer are all going to be living together in a 2 bed (and one living room-turned bedroom) tiny house. Who's going to be sharing a room?? There is no appropriate set up here!

Clawdy · 20/04/2018 09:57

DD, her partner, and several of her friends are struggling actors. I may be biased, but I think they are very good! Not one of them have ever managed to get an audition for Coronation Street.

deadringer · 20/04/2018 10:04

It would make much more sense if Nicola just got a flat or house on the street if she wants to be close to Eileen, she sold hers I believe so she has the money. Agree that Gina and Dev are a completely unbelievable couple, I think he and Moira would be a great pairing, she might see him as a catch with his business's and his golf club. They are both very pretentious and snobbish so I think it would work.

Rana's mum was ridiculously wooden - I think they'd forgotten to give her a script and she was reading it from cards that someone was holding up behind the sofa...

RulaLenskasHair · 20/04/2018 10:30

Ha purplelass that was exactly what it was like!

Optimist1 · 20/04/2018 13:49

Excellent idea to pair Moira and Dev, deadringer !

Yorkshirebetty · 20/04/2018 19:07

Ha ha Grin I agree with all of the above - I was thinking how many talented actors there are out there and we have useless ones kept on Corrie for years.
Yes to Dev and Moira!!
Tardis house of the week is still the Platts with Gail, Sarah, Bethany, Harry, Max, Lily, David and, until recently, Shona. How Sarah and Gary find privacy in a bedroom is beyond me.

Geoff1969 · 20/04/2018 20:39

So it appears the UK Space Agency is in Weatherfield!

Yorkshirebetty · 20/04/2018 20:45

So Summer thinks she can get an internship at the UK Space Agency? Ok. Confused

cloudyweewee · 20/04/2018 21:00

Looks like David's been taking crying lessons from Rana.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/04/2018 21:36

Ohh so Sebs Mum is a Mechanic (trained in prison)
How handy, I'm sure Kev'n'Tye will take her on (I'm sure something grim will befall Josh anyway)

Seniorcitizen1 · 20/04/2018 22:04

Summer should try Jodrellbank which is much closer than uksa.

Where were eileen and sen’s mother sat - don’t remember that space before

ellenanora5 · 20/04/2018 22:09

Was just going to post that 70isalimit

How flipping convenient the she's a mechanic, was she in prison long enough to do an apprenticeship and if so where we're the twins and Seb all that time.

Seb just announces in front of his mother who is a an addict, a thief and a burglar where the spare key is kept, right oh.

And now she's going to be staying at Grimshaw Towers along with everyone else.

How old is Summer, would she really need work experience at her age.
