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

[MonkeyToesOfDoom]

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.

James is such a wooden actor, it's like someone's thrown a chair on set whenever he walks in

The worst Corrie actor at the moment-possibly ever- is the builder dad. I can't remember his name but he is truly shockingly shite.

I know. And God forgive me for saying this, but he sounds simple. What is it with his voice?!

I think all the new family are equally terrible. It's like they had no other actors they could have gone with so went with the Kids TV Presenter, the Ironing board, the woman who can do a weird accent and the bloke that looks a bit like a builder.

Maria and Ali suit so much more than her and Gary!

I was really hoping that Maria and Ali would get back together but then stupid Gary proposed!

Ali became disgustingly arrogant immediately after sleeping with maria. It was such a contrast to how he was with her immediately beforehand. He was being very nice and telling her she needed to talk to Gary as he’s her partner etc and then afterwards he was being horrible about Gary. I know Gary is horrible but that didn’t cover Ali in glory either.

True.
I actually found myself feeling a bit sorry for Gary!

I found myself worrying about the bloke who'd been beaten up

Not that we're overinvested or anything ...

Hopefully Gary will die soon, and Maria can be comforted by Dr Ali. She'll get over Gary fast, people have memory issues on the street.
The builder family would be good if the actors were better, lots of issues. But the terrible cook thing is boring.

Maria going from one murderer to another.
Lest we forget that Dr 'MuHairdo' Ali killed that gangster in the car crash.

(And yes I am having more fun making up names for the characters than actually watching the show..)

Yes but the man in the car was a terrible person, although to be honest I have forgotten why. Ali is so much easier on the eye than Gary, surely Maria must prefer him.

Dr Ali is not that hot ! Looks like he could do with loosing a few Lbs and getting outside for some fresh air, he’s all past and doughy looking

He's terribly busy as a junior doctor, up all night and eating canteen food. He is a doctor still, isn't he?

He looks permanently knackered to me, and shifty, very shifty. I'd rather have Adam , actually I'd rather have terry duckworth but then I like a (proper) bad boy, not some half witted wanna be gangsta like Gary 🙄

Dr Ali has dumb hair and I swear it changes from scene to scene. It doesn't suit him even a little. Needs a blade 1 crew cut all over.

I'd love Terry Duckworth to come back - and that MP with the dress who had his baby. I thought I'd imagined all that, I had to Wikipedia her.
Maria could spend happy hours styling Dr Ali. Terry Duckworth would be great with Eileen.

Surely Terry D is now too old for Eileen ?!

Oops, no, only a four-year gap!

Really? I'd have thought he'd be an 'older man' who turned her head flashing the cash. He must have been really young when he was causing havoc. My friend lusted after him in the eighties.

Yes @MonkeyToesOfDoom
I said to my friend the other week that at the start of the episode it looked like the front had been set on heated rollers ( in itself), but later on in same episode, meant to be an hour later or some such it was totally different, combed in a side parting.

I like a (proper) bad boy, not some half witted wanna be gangsta like Gary 🙄

This^. I agree.

Also, I don't find Dr Ali that attractive either.

Terry Duckworth was sex on legs back in the day but he looks like John Prescott now.
