Corrie Thread - the best (of the worst!) NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!

[yawning801]

Good God... how did they win best soap? The best soap is Molten Brown. Fact. (Lime and Patchouli, specifically!) What with dozy Rosie, booed Jude and airy-fairy Rosemary... think we'll all be reaching for the remote control by the time Jude has emerged from his kennel!

Clawdy that could actually lead to a good plot line, if Daniel followed it up properly, maybe the home was dishing out drugs to keep the old people quiet.

or maybe the writers have lost the plot

Good idea, redshoeblueshoe

Everybody miraculously gets well in Coronation St. Rita is back to normal, Floras dementia only shows itself once in a blue moon and Carla hasn't had the slightest check up or blip since her transplant. It must be that wonderful hospital where they all get private rooms and one to one doctors!

Also wasn't Sophie or Sinead (or both) crippled and in wheelchairs and unlikely to walk again at some point? Also, the same with Peter, crippled for life around the time Leanne married him on his deathbed. And Nick I think... the bang on the head.

...and Billy - severe back injury, addicted to horse but a stint in Cof E rehab and he's back on the street with a tan and all jolly again!

Robert - testicular cancer, steroid addiction and a heart attack all within a few months but no problems - normal service resumed.

I feel quite angry when I see Carla quaffing down copious amounts of booze.. Tracey must be incredibly lucky - Samir's kidney seems to be lasting remarkably well (I think the average for a deceased transplant, non relative is about 12 years) she doesn't even seem to need anti rejection meds nor does Carla. If the writers really wanted to "educate" Joe Public they should write in about the side effects and that you don't just get a kidney and your health is then forever hunky dory

Johnny’s MS - no symptoms at all now.

Max’s adhd

Craig's OCD, barely any symptoms now it seems!
Sally's breast cancer.
Steve's depression.
Jason was beaten up by Callum and co, made a full recovery.
Beth's allergy to bath bombs.
Hawp's cancer!
Angie's PND.

I'm sure there's more, and they've all miraculously disappeared!

They are all a pretty sick bunch really, when you look back at all the illnesses.

Oh, and Seb's HIV!

Theres something in the Hotpot I reckon. Laced with copius amounts of Antibiotics and such. The only draw back is that occasionally it turns someone into a murderer..

Don't forget Ken's stroke.

In reality they'd all be round the Rovers propping up the bar (or in wheelchairs) discussing their ailments.

Have they got rid of Jude and Angie? I know Jude is supposed to be working in the paper shop and Angie is the street's accountant, but neither of them have been seen for weeks.

People just vanish for months and storylines go dormant.

But then when someone leaves for a bit on say maternity leave, or to be in a play etc they devise a ridiculous story line to account for an absence shorter than ones they often have when they aren't in a major story.

Sophie is being given more lines and things to do - I've said it before and will say it again - grr...she is so wooden, her tone is all wrong.

Love Moira (now they've got rid of Reeves)

Ooh Seb just remembered the HIV

So now several miraculous potential buyers for the Rovers will pop up from nowhere...

Holy crap, Wetherfirld Social Services are on the ball aren't they? Crikey..

On another note... My ex put DD on the sofa and she rolled off she was fine, but it's horrible when it happens.

Would Social Services really turn up like that?

DD1 did exactly the same thing at 8 months old, except she hit her head on the edge of a metal magazine rack, I was almost hysterical and felt so so awful, we took her to hospital, but luckily no harm done and she was obviously fine.

Social Services never came near me and nothing more was ever said

Absolutely fine not obviously fine

I no nothing of Social Services. Is it usual to have that instant response?
Ryan is very annoying.

Yay Peter!! Let’s hope Simon gets sent to young offenders for a few weeks —forever—

Can we have a whip round to pay for acting lessons for the actress that plays Toyah Battersby. I've never seen such terrible acting. She's made a real hash of a really good story line.

Sorry ? She just looks like she's forgotten to put out the bins.

You're right, Toyah is awful. Not too upset that Peter's finished with her. I hope Simon gets locked up. He's vile.
