Coronation Street - Peter can’t drink, Johnny’s in clink and Gail’s got a sink(hole) - I think... NO SPOILERS!!

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

Can’t believe it’s new thread time already!

Richard O'Sullivan ... I googled to see if he was available but he had a stroke and is in a retirement home. Poor Richard,he was a heart throb.
Maybe Lewis had a twin brother? I love Nigel Havers, dh reckons Richard E Grant could do it?

I used to watch Man about the House when I was about 7 and aspired to be like Chrissie. !I watched it recently and couldn't believe how rude it was! It obvipusly went over my head back then! Richard O is pretty unrecognisable now. He was so hot as Dick Turpin!

It's a pity all Gail's husbands are dead, that would have been interesting lodger material.

Martin isn't dead!

Oh and the poster upthread who recommended Hometown: A Killing. I watched 4 out of 6 last night, excellent documentary. Will sit down to watch the last 2 later

That was me. It really is very good isn't it, and utterly terrifying. There are a couple of follow up episodes by the same reporter after that.

Used to love the music and yes, it went over my head too

I forgot Martin, he's in Australia isn't he.

I thought he was still in the UK - making cheese!

Why do celebrities make cheese a lot, isn't a brit pop person making cheese too?
Emily's nephew Spider who maybe had a relationship with Toyah could return. Or Steve's twin Andy, who looked nothing like him, he could return with a new head. Or Dr Ali.
If they would stop killing people it would be better.

I'd like to see both Spider and Andy return. We also need some 20-somethings to liven it up a bit.

Yes, some celeb from a group who looks like Brian Cox, makes cheese.

They're all at it. Must be a nice little earner.

Perhaps a cheese shop could open on the street, or a posh deli. I'd love to go to a posh deli and buy a fancy picnic.
Classic Corrie has a group of young adults just now, fiona, Maxine Steve and co opening businesses and having angst. And no teenagers with drug related stuff.

I’ve said it before - I know the Baileys aren’t popular, but DeeDee Bailey would be the ideal addition to the cast in this respect. She’s meant to be 23, so would be a good fit friendship-wise with Emma and Alina (slightly younger) or with Alya, Ryan and even Daisy if she sticks around (slightly older). Both the Bailey boys need some proper mates too.

It's Alex from Blur I believe that makes cheese

That's the guy!

Does he look like Prof Brian Cox? If so, I haven't totally lost my marbles.

I remember seeing his cheese

Yes they do look a bit alike, I googled them. Either would be good in Corrie. Professor Brian could chat to sam and roy. Blur man could sell cheese to Dev.

Damon's better looking

Is that a beanie hat or hair?!

Yes... bring them on. Prof Brian would be a huge asset to talk stars with little Sam and wouldn't Roy be beside himself with excitement.
I'm all for cheese. Anytime.

Sally would love a posh deli to shop in

It looks like we are getting a new funeral parlours so that be fun. Suppose loads of comedy moments will ensue.

I’m surprised they haven’t got rid of the cabin now no one on street smokes? Don’t suppose they can show kids buying sweets as probable needs some sort of warning!

The announcer just said Peter fails to show for work. How can Peter be going to work?? He is still in blanket mode!

Here’s an idea Todd- move out.

What a his job?? When he was living at the pub he didn’t seem to do anything. Been so long

Is he a taxi driver?

Didn’t they sell the taxi office? Where is the switch supposed to be?
