Where are Gail, Maria (and shh, Gary), Izzy, Johnny & his lodger mate, Roy or Amy?

I know the older actors (Ken, Audrey, Rita) are probably still shielding but the others? We did see Eileen tonight via Skype (other video chats are available) but I'd rather see the others pass the time of day than the flower or bun fight debacles.

David Neilson (Roy) is over 70. Can't explain Gary, Maria, Gail, or Izzy. Jonny and Amy have appeared before now, so not sure where they've disappeared too. Still no Aggie family for ages either, apart from Michael.

Smallsteps88 · 26/09/2020 00:52

We think they’re being given props eg wad of cash, flowers then told to improvise.

I think you could be right! It’s woeful whatever the reason.

Akire · 26/09/2020 00:54

Gary can’t do anything with his story with the other court case waiting to start. They've not found the body in woods yet. Can’t cope with “I saw you staring at Sarah, you lovvvvvvvve her not me” sulks for the next 6months.

Apart from Daniel maybe having a happy every after with Cardi women, possibly in her aunties BnB. There are no good happy feel good story lines at all.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 26/09/2020 04:09

@Queenoftheashes

Daniel is a shit father. I know he’s mini Ken but ffs. The filler is beyond rubbish. We think they’re being given props eg wad of cash, flowers then told to improvise.
The drama teacher at college used to do that. We'd be put into pairs/small groups, given a prop or 2 and told we had 5 mins to concoct a storyline to perform to the others. Maybe they've done the same with the cast Hmm
Roussette · 26/09/2020 06:07

I'm away so can't watch and thinking I
might not bother at all!
But your comments are giving me a right laugh!
Was there anything I need to know about Geoff and the wodge of cash?!

MsMiaWallace · 26/09/2020 08:09

We're not sure where the cash has come from?
They need to crack on with the Geoff story line.

Poor Peter with Annie Lennox sticking her beak in.
It was quite funny that Abbie & Tim distanced when they were chatting on the street.

I want Gary to come back & just give Sarah one.

Clawdy · 26/09/2020 08:44

Ooh no, even Sarah deserves better than the whispering weasel.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 26/09/2020 08:50

I know it’s probably partly due to Ken and Gail not being around, but no one seems to give a shit that Adam and Sarah’s marriage is over before it began. They had one conversation about it each with Daniel and David respectively before being demoted to supporting players in their storylines - when you’d think a marriage breakdown would be a big story in its own right.

PoloNeckKnickers · 26/09/2020 09:20

I haven't watched at all this week and won't bother. Just keeping up to speed with all the filler shite thanks to this thread! I feel a bit guilty that I haven't had to endure watching yet still know what's going on.

MsMiaWallace · 26/09/2020 13:56

I even thought I might start watching eastenders again as Corrie is so lacking at the mo.
Not watched eastenders for years!

CeriBerry · 26/09/2020 15:00

I watched a few episodes after a few too many gins and I’m confused about who George is? I feel like he just appeared and Mary was pissed off with him about something. Did we see what happened to piss her off on screen?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/09/2020 15:18

That argument between Mary and Brian was pathetic. I wouldn’t mind so much but It wasn’t it funny. I don’t know if comedy was the road they were going down

desperatehousewife21 · 26/09/2020 15:27

Who is George?

desperatehousewife21 · 26/09/2020 15:27

Oh the undertaker? Yeah I thought that too, like there was a backstory we’d not had a chance to see!

JamieLeeCurtains · 26/09/2020 15:30

Is George the rude undertaker??

DipSwimSwoosh · 26/09/2020 15:50

Why is Carla always sitting down? Is she ok?

Roussette · 26/09/2020 16:13

I think they have to pay extra acting fees if they're stood up.

(Only joking. Haven't a clue!)

Housewife2010 · 26/09/2020 17:59

George is the late undertaker Archie Shuttleworth's son who was played by the marvellous Roy Hudd. Audrey used to do the hair and makeup for his corpses.

Honeyroar · 26/09/2020 19:20

I think they have to pay extra acting fees if they can be heard and convincing with a mask on. It seems to be the better actors wearing them!

FantasticButtocks · 27/09/2020 11:03

I've been having a bonanza catch up of all the episodes I've recorded since before lockdown. DH was at home during it, and doesn't watch it so have been having massive Corrie binges whenever he goes away.

The Aggie family - the husband is the worst actor I've ever seen on tv! I literally had to fast forward through all his scenes! He shouts his lines, and delivers them ridiculously slowly, as he widens his eyes. Is it terrible acting or do I just have an aversion to his voice? 😁

The Geoff, Yasmeen story has been utterly brilliant. Thank god Sally got that laptop out of his house... incredible he is still walking free! And what has happened to Elaine/Philippa?

I can't believe they didn't continue with that storyline but moved on to so much inconsequential rubbish! Filler is right. And the way they all keep taking their masks off to talk, even doctors! Or holding masks as a prop...

JamieLeeCurtains · 27/09/2020 11:07

I'd like the actors to be paid according to a public vote.

Should get rid of a few.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 27/09/2020 11:09

I'd like the actors to be paid according to a public vote.

When are Izzy and Sean giving the money back?

thenightsky · 27/09/2020 11:11

I'm gutted they are breaking up Peter and Carla. I always thought they worked really well as a couple.

desperatehousewife21 · 27/09/2020 12:00

I like Carla and Peter together too, hopefully they don’t actually break up and it’s just a rough patch. Tbf he actually didn’t do anything wrong!
