*** New Corrie Thread (No Spoilers... or I'll spit on your turkey)***

Christmas Day...

Merry Christmas Corrie Fans...
And those who watch through habit.

Rita's in the floor, Derek's in a bind, Gemma's had babies and is going out her mind.
Nick is grimacing nicely, and Sarah's forgot the plot.
And we're all just gathering around and hoping Dev gets shot.

Penny Royal - yes, I also think that Maria could have given the Measles to Bertie.

I prefer Bethany to Sinead. I hope she goes to Milan for a while then returns to Daniel at a better time.

Geoff is chilling. Good to see Adam and Peter showing their faces, they are both woefully underused.

I'm fast forwarding the Geoff and Yazmeen interactions - which I suppose means they're doing a good job!

How long is Gary going to get away with murder? Have the writers forgotten the dead loan shark in the shallow woodland grave?

He’s bound to have been dug up by a dog walker by now.

Woah! Liz’s leg up on that worktop! I don’t think I could do that and I’m 29

Every time I see Liz I initially think 'who is that?'. She's unrecognisable now.

Surely Tim will twig something is not right. After all there was probably a reason that he and his father were estranged in the first place and he must have seen his nasty side before.
I like Gemma but the actress playing her needs to learn that there other ways to convey emotion/ intensity than bloody shouting the whole time.
Why aren't Adam and Sarah trying to keep Bethany and Daniel separate. He's just lost his wife and grieving and she has also been through a traumatic time recently, starting a relationship now is bound to end in tears.
IRL I think that the actors playing Gary and Carla might be in trouble as they were pictured snogging and holding hands at the NTAs. (Apparently Alison King was very drunk).

I've just caught up on about a week's worth. I didn't understand the thing with Gemma and the bus. I kept winding it back to see what the issue was (thought they'd used different people or something). Wtf is wrong with her? Of course they were photoshopped! Any people we see in adverts have been photoshopped. Her constant high pitched moaning of "am I that ugly?" was driving me mad. Surely you'd just laugh it off?

Admittedly they were photoshopped beyond recognition, but yes even professional models and celebrities have their images altered. Maybe she doesn't realize this or is touchy as she feels she loosing herself already as she is overwhelmed with looking after 5 children.
Why did Freshco's want the parents in the shot at all? Surely the selling point and the interest is in the babies, no need to have adults in the frame.

I think that the actors playing Gary and Carla might be in trouble as they were pictured snogging and holding hands at the NTAs.

Alison!! How could you?? He’s hideous!

Is it just me or is Nina looking less goth already?

OH Yasmeen is going to get hurt in this magic show isn’t she? He’ll say it was an accident though.

Please don't say that Daniel and Bethany shagged, hence the awkward 'kiss goodbye/morning breath/meet up later for lunch conversation.

Yes, hating Geoff.

The way he keeps tabs on her. Shame she hadn't gone off

I don’t think they shagged. The last we saw was Daniel saying he just wanted to hold Bethany so they cuddled but that was it.

Tim’s filming this. I’m hoping he or someone will watch it back and see Geoff saying that to Yasmeen and her expression change.

Now Tim is staying with Geoff and Yasmine surely he will notice something isn't right.

Juan I thought Nina looked less Gothy

She was, Carla said the same to Roy.

Carla commented on her looking less made up.

I didn’t even notice Carla saying anything! What did Nina/Roy say to explain it?

I must have missed something, I didn't realise that Tim was living with his dad

Nina had left. Roy said he hadn't noticed!

I must have missed something too (or zoned out as normal). I didn't see any scene with Nina or Roy.
