NEW Corrie thread - will Leanne ‘lawyer up’? Will Geoff get what’s coming? Will the Baileys learn to act? *NO SPOILERS PLEASE*

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

Old thread full, so here we go again.

Going back to the last point on the old thread, I agree that they’re writing well for Tracy now. She’s still got her hard side, but they’ve made her caring in a straight talking way, rather than just a full-on bitch.

Karen was great.

And Katherine Kelly. I can't remember who she played, but I remember her drunk on the fire escape in a pink wedding dress. Later saw her in She Stoops to Conquer at The National Theatre.

@JamieLeeCurtains

Raquel, bless her cotton socks.

I wonder if SL would consider a cameo pass-through to cheer us up a bit? Maybe one of her pre-conditions would be the culling of the incredibly shit writers.

Aww that would be lovely!

There was an exit episode a while back for someone, Emily? Norris? Rita? which would have been a great opportunity to bring back some of the old favourites for a while but it was a damp squib. They really dropped the ball on it.

Yes to Becky. She was the only one of the wives that I liked.

She was Becky! Kylie’s sister, Steve’s ex wife. Called Roy “Royston” I loved Becky!

I'm glad Becky got her happy ending. I wish Danny Baldwin would come back too, but only because I fancy Bradley Walsh.

I wish Kevin could have a new jacket

Return of all the wives!

Can you imagine if all Steve’s wives came back for a day. How many are there? Vicky, Fiona? (Or maybe she’s an almost wife?) Karen, Becky, Michelle?(another almost?) Tracey?

Kevin looked ridiculous sitting in the bistro in his 30 year old bomber jacket!

There's been some acting legends on Corrie. Hayley, Raquel, Becky, Karen ... Even Jim, so there has.

Which looks as clean as the day he got it!

I loved Danny Baldwin/ his wife/ his son that was a great love triangle!

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but Kevin's sister Debbie and the lady Johnny was talking to were the mum and daughter in Jonny Briggs tv show!

That's where I'd seen her!!! I loved that programme😀

@Keeping2ChevronsApart yes me too. Him and his little dog Razzle and the rabbit. Our Rita!

I'd forgotten our Rita! DS thought her name was Areeta!

One thing I liked is Geoff talking to his potential new squeeze about his “crazy ex wife” thus proving the rule that the only men who have “crazy exes” are usually dyed in the wool bastards.

I thought that! Red flag, red flag!

I loved that they used that “crazy ex wife” line! I bet there were so many women watching who heard it and thought “that’s what my DH says about his ex!”

Oh nooooo, it's the Acting Family.

Oh FFS! I thought we were rid of grimacing grace. Now she’s claiming to be pregnant!! Urgh. That means more terrible Michael scenes.

OH yeah, as if the prison guard would just let their prisoner stand and have a deep and meaningful chat with their victim in the street!

Seems like they’ve got all the irritating characters in today. Grace, all the Aggies, Aadi, Asha’s boyfriend, Amy.

Yep, ever single irritant is back.

I can't put up with this Grace nonsense again.

I thought Grace had already told Michael that she was pregnant as she was arrested but he didn't believe her? Maybe I'm misremembering

Top points to the poster who twigged that Debbie was involved with Ray! Is she the famous Roxy then?

You could be right @EggsFried, she said she took the test the day she was arrested. Maybe the writers forgot she already told him.
