I honestly don’t remember Sam Beckinsale being in it!

StillCoughingandLaughing · 28/09/2020 19:58

Fiona’s singing is terrible

She’d be fine on karaoke, but I’m not convinced even someone as washed-up as Alec would think he could make her a star.

Anyway, it looks like it’s all a plot device to introduce her to Alan.

x2boys · 28/09/2020 20:29

Yeah she would be ok on karaoke at best ,she's no Leona Lewis!

x2boys · 28/09/2020 20:32

Alec should have gone with Maxine ,she's no great singer either ,but she's fun and bubbly and at least as good or bad as the spice girls 🤣

Today's episodes where so well acted. The heartbreak was so subtle

I wonder if Sarah Lancashire watches the current Corrie and thinks 'thank fuck I got out'.

x2boys · 29/09/2020 21:29

I think I read that,she doesn't recognise Corrie anymore or something similar? I have watched a few recent ones and they have really lost there way on Corrie ,to many ridiculous far fetched story lines.

Did any of you watching notice Simon from Horrible Histories and Ghosts in a tiny role on Tuesday? He played a friend of Tracey’s first husband Robert in his first incarnation as a carpet fitter.

justthecat · 30/09/2020 05:51

I noticed him! Seemed funny “death” was at Tracy’s wedding

PollyPelargonium52 · 30/09/2020 07:13

Yes I thought 'Raquel' was amazing. She will be missed!

KANNET · 30/09/2020 07:30

I think if that story where done nowadays it would have been all screaming and shouting. It was just so real, that part where she said "you are a really lovely man".

I missed a few episodes, not many actors go on to succes after soaps, Sarah Lancashire is exceptional. Although my dh would like to see Maxine back.

x2boys · 30/09/2020 10:41

Did Tracey Shaw ever do anything after Corrie

StillCoughingandLaughing · 30/09/2020 16:45

Racquel’s farewell was heartbreaking Sad I remember it so well. The Mirror got hold of the script the day before and published the entire thing across a two-page spread. That’s how big it was.

southeastdweller · 30/09/2020 22:32

The writing in the Tuesday episode was exceptional but that episode was a rare highlight of a lacklustre period in Corrie's history. I don't blame Sarah Lancashire for leaving, she was far too talented to be in it for too long.

Soon we'll be seeing a lot of dead wood characters getting killed or leaving because of the direction the new producer, Brian Park, wanted to take. Can't see the point of Joyce, Des and Andy but I thought Derek was a classic Corrie character and went too soon.

eggandonion · 30/09/2020 22:42

Wee crinkly Des! Mavis and Derek rock.

x2boys · 01/10/2020 07:26

I don't know why they got rid of Andy tbh,he's a better actor imo,than Steve,whose had a 30 year career with mediocre acting ,they should have given him better storyline,s

eggandonion · 01/10/2020 07:34

I liked Andy too, but he needed a lovely girlfriend and happy life. He could have had the franchise for the local Costa or something.

x2boys · 01/10/2020 07:36

Yes or taught at Weathefield comp maybe?

eggandonion · 01/10/2020 09:27

Or taught a business course in the college where people start but never seem to finish, distracted by a job in the factory, shop, cafe, or being involved in something illegal.

justthecat · 01/10/2020 15:50

Ken and Deirdre 🙈

KANNET · 01/10/2020 16:53

What was going on with Denises accent.

I was so happy when Deirdre and Ken ..... wont say in case people still didnt see it today!

Housewife2010 · 01/10/2020 16:56

@justthecat

Ken and Deirdre 🙈
I've just watched it. I remember those tongues from 24 years ago! 😱
x2boys · 01/10/2020 17:24

There was no need for that rather graphic scene 😱
