Hopefully not before the end of this thread! Sad

Who remembers Eileen with the biker bloke? I can't find anything about it but I'm sure I didn't dream it!

DivGirl · 15/05/2020 11:29

Sophie's lady lawyer sent her off on her travels and disappeared back to Manchester. Maybe she'll be back to defend Geoff? Although I think I read the actress was due to be playing Jan the paramedic's partner in Casualty so I'm not sure how that would work.

I'd love if Jason returned. I'd actually love if they both returned, let new head Todd cause drama! Billy and Paul are possibly the least believable couple on the street right now (and that's saying something because I thought Aliya and Ryan were pretending to be a couple to wind everyone up for at least three weeks).

eggandonion · 15/05/2020 11:39

I like Ryan now. Maybe Sally could Zoom the lady lawyer to discuss her concerns over Yasmeen. Except with made up names like Boom and Swype.
I remember the biker, was he a mate of Les Battersby?

Deadringer · 15/05/2020 11:40

Ryan has turned into a decent person since he got with Aliya. I remember the biker bloke he was bald, i think he died in a road accident. He was either with Janice first and cheated with Eileen, or the other way round, i can't remember.

Roussette · 15/05/2020 11:47

egg he might've been. My memory's failing with Eileen's blokes, there's been a fair few! Mind you, Billy the vicar is pretty prolific in the boyfriend stakes too!

There are certain characters on there that I look up off the laptop when they are on. Eileen's is one of them.
There are other characters where I am concentrating on my laptop more than watching Grin

If she goes to casualty she can tell them Dixie is now a grandma to quads!

Deadringer · 15/05/2020 12:04

I looked him up, his name was Dennis and he was with Eileen first but fell for Janice. Hmm

PoloNeckKnickers · 15/05/2020 12:06

The biker bloke was Dennis who also ended up in Casualty. He may have been on it when Toyah was a Junior doctor. Eileen was better as Glenda in dinnerladies.

Roussette · 15/05/2020 12:49

Dennis! That's it! Thanks all.

ellenanora5 · 15/05/2020 13:03

Did we ever get the bottom of he connection between the man who checked into the rovers and how Johnny knew him and why he wanted to get away from him.

Before Jenny became another permanent resident I remember she came back years ago with a huge dog and wanted to reconnect with Rita but she was really only after her money.

I think Sharon the foster daughter arrived back at some stage and ended up getting ditched at the altar or something, long time ago now so I could have that wrong.

ellenanora5 · 15/05/2020 13:06

Sorry "Did we ever get to the bottom of the connection"

I shouldn't type while stuffing myself with toast, was lovely though just what I neededGrin

Spam88 · 15/05/2020 13:24

Gosh, Dennis is going back a bit. Did he try to kill himself with car exhaust fumes or was that someone else?

thenightsky · 15/05/2020 14:05

Is that guy who was staying at the Rovers and knew Johnny still there?

Roussette · 15/05/2020 14:42

Can't remember what happened to Dennis but Eileen was smitten.

AirBnB man, yes what happened to him! That was just filler and when they let the intern write an episode, I swear!

noyoucannotcomein · 15/05/2020 14:48

No idea why, but I got the feeling that the B&B guy and Johnny might have had a "thing" at some point in the past

thenightsky · 15/05/2020 14:49

I seem to think (probably wrongly) that Dennis the biker was killed.

NCTDN · 15/05/2020 14:54

That sounds familiar that dennis was killed.

noyoucannotcomein · 15/05/2020 15:34

He died as a result of a car crash, while driving Les to hospital after he tried to gas himself in his car.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/05/2020 15:44

Ahh I remember Dennis!

Jason should definitely come back. One of his equally handsome RL brothers should come back and play Todd. One of them used to be in emmerdale as Adam Barton. Not sure if the other is an actor too or not. Maybe they could both join Jason and surprise Eileen with a third son she never knew she had Grin anything goes on Corrie these days!

CoolShoeshine · 15/05/2020 15:52

@chandler - great minds think alike, I was going to also say that one of his real life brothers could play Todd. They’d be loud together but fun! Maybe because Ryan Thomas was with the Sarah Lou actress in real life it would be too awkward

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/05/2020 15:58

Yes that could be a bit awks! Grin I suppose if they’re doing social distancing filming they could make it so Sarah Lou and Jason were never in the same scenes together. I reckon this could work. Does anyone have Jason’s number and i’ll ring him up and tell him his presence is required. Grin

eddiemairswife · 15/05/2020 16:23

If we are inviting people back, can't we get rid of Gary?

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 15/05/2020 16:32

Yes- and I know exactly how we can do it! Jason swans back in with his handsomeness and Maria drools. Tiny Gary gangsta struts in Jason’s direction and Jason knocks him out. Gary wakes up with complete memory loss and needing long term rehabilitation in that London. The end.

thenightsky · 15/05/2020 17:02

If we are bringing people back, can we have Liz McDonald. That woman playing her at the moment is doing a very poor impersonation.
