Couldn't see a new thread so started this one. So we're now into a show of two halves, edited together - pre and post lockdown! Who's shouting "before" "after" at each scene?

They seem to have forgotten Billy can’t be going into work and if anything he be at home working on his zoom sermons for Sunday. Where is he supposed to be going in his shirt and collar everyday?

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 11:22

I want to imagine that it'll shortly be revealed that Holy Billy sits in a cold, dark vestry all day, playing out the lyrics of Eleanor Rigby in his head.

But it's probably just more scriptwriter laziness.

@JamieLeeCurtains

The announcement at the start of each episode should say, 'Some scenes were filmed prior to coronavirus restrictions, some scenes were filmed during strict rescrictions, some after they'd lifted a bit, and then a few really weird scenes after they'd got a bit stricter again for some of the actors living in certain areas [sigh], and some scenes were quite frankly written under the influence of valium, brandy and the odd class A.'

Saw Sally on Loose Women today. She seems lovely. In other news, I'm watching an old Silent Witness & Tim is the cop in charge.

Smallsteps88 · 26/08/2020 19:11

OH I can’t imagine Tom being in charge of anything let alone a police investigation!

Smallsteps88 · 26/08/2020 19:11

Tim!

Who the heck is this woman who has just walked in to Kev's house , Peter and Abi were there and this woman who I've never clapped eyes on walked in with a suitcase and Peter and Abi talked like they knew her.

Kev's just gone to get her a cheese and onion pie

Ahorsecalledseptember · 26/08/2020 19:39

Rousette I just said that to OH! Who is she? Have I missed something?

Roussette · 26/08/2020 19:40

Now Daniel is talking to Cardi woman no. 2 online who's a redhead and bored senseless with his warbling on

Roussette · 26/08/2020 19:42

I have now deduced Ahorsecalledsept that it's Kev's sister maybe? Did I hear that? When has she ever been in Corrie?
Never seen her before in me life.
She looks like Annie Lennox

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 19:44

It's Kevin's sister.

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 19:45

I think she's had two previous brief appearances.

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 19:47

Maybe Annie Lennox has come to claim Seb, her love child with Dave Stewart.

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 26/08/2020 19:48

Kev's sister? Nahhhh....
It's Rita from Jonny Briggs.

Roussette · 26/08/2020 19:49

Makes sense to me Jamie!

The writing has gone to pot it really has, I know I have the memory of a gnat, but didn't know who she was, and she walked in like she lived there!

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 26/08/2020 19:52

For your nostalgia needs:

Also, she was in Corrie not long back and gave Kevin some money that he used to buy jack's leg and Sophie's holidays.. I think.

Ahorsecalledseptember · 26/08/2020 19:55

This episode is making me cringe.

buttonup26 · 26/08/2020 19:56

It's so boring tonight

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 20:01

Jesus, what in the name of fuck was that episode? I've had more enjoyable half hours waiting at a freezing cold train station with the rain pissing down, because I least I know the journey is going somewhere.

Roussette · 26/08/2020 20:01

I agree. It really is dire.

PinkDaydreams · 26/08/2020 20:07

The last few episodes I really haven’t enjoyed, I’ve missed half and whereas normally I watch on catch up, I’m not even bothering! I catch up reading this thread and by the sounds of it I’m not missing much If anything at all! 😂

woodhill · 26/08/2020 20:08

That stupid Gemma is really irritating and Bernie, still no quads

Beyond boring

PoloNeckKnickers · 26/08/2020 20:10

Kev's sister was in it as a young teen and was played by the same actress. She was also one of the many Corrie people in dinnerladies. When you mentioned Johnny Briggs I got confused for a minute, thinking of Mike Baldwin. Just finished Silent Witness. Tim was a bent cop who planted evidence, but he was still a better policeman than Craig.

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/08/2020 20:15

Oh yes, Kevin's sister who bought Jack's leg was the dinnerladies toast woman.

Akire · 26/08/2020 20:27

It was dire, why is peter walking into the house when no one is supposed have visitors. Ditto rented Cardi lady- bets she’s walking covid disaster!
