@UhtredRagnarson

They’ve started doing that on Corrie I’ve noticed. Same with Oliver’s funeral. They couldn’t just have the episode focussed on that. I suppose when you kill off a character every 3 weeks the funerals become less significant and just business as usual. It’s shit. Really shit. Hope you’re reading this Corrie writers!
I think Oliver has now been shelved with this ridiculous drugs storyline. Leanne will just be glad to get back to weather field and Oliver will be forgotten about until these episodes are on classic coronation street and the writers will have someone casually mention him.

I thought I had missed the episode with sebs funeral ! Thought they would show it properly in the church and everything very odd. Is Johnny off to stay at Tim and Sally's?! They seem to have a suite of bedrooms for people looking for somewhere to stay Wink

I agree Ronnie has grown on me. Those exactly fighting shorts which hug the broad shoulders and chest don’t do him any harm either.

eggandonion · 02/06/2021 08:42

Johnny will have to go to stay with Carla.i don't know where she lives. Maybe he could stay in Corey's spare room?
He can't be gone for good, he just took a few things in Roy's spare bag.

UhtredRagnarson · 02/06/2021 08:59

Does Carla live with Peter in the barlows magically expanding house?

Akire · 02/06/2021 09:05

They did take about renting a flat but not sure where it was. We haven’t seen it yet.

CurryLover55 · 02/06/2021 09:20

Loving this thread! I love Sam - is he on the spectrum? Great little actor. Ronnie is in very good shape. Can’t do with Ed & his really annoying voice though. And Michael with his wild eyed expressions!

eggandonion · 02/06/2021 09:27

Yes the Aggie family can move to Birmingham or somewhere, Ronnie can stay and run the builder's yard with Paul. Actually knowing about being a builder doesn't seem to matter. Steve could help, he is a builder in classic corrie.

MrsAudreyAlfredRobertsOBEHmm · 02/06/2021 09:50

Right, I definitely need to catch up on it today after reading these posts
It sounds bloody hysterical. Do you think they have free alcohol at their production meetings?

eggandonion · 02/06/2021 10:11

Child sam is the son of a tv producer. He is both wonderful and terrible, I hope he gives Daniel hell.

UhtredRagnarson · 02/06/2021 10:53

Grin I hope he does too!

TellingBone · 02/06/2021 11:16

If you're out on a street and a child runs up to you and tells you that a man with a gun has just shot someone in a back alley would you:

A: Get yourself and child to a place of safety and call the police.

B: Run into said alley with the child hard on your heels

SophieB100 · 02/06/2021 12:47

I think the reason why we don't see churches and funerals is because of Covid - everything is shot on set, to keep the actors/team in as much of a bubble as possible.

What a couple of cracking episodes! Are the writers (to coin a favourite MN phrase) on glue??

Speaking of shot on set...I want a taser so much!!! How have I not got one???? I will have to have a look on Amazon in a minute, it'll come in well handy with my bottom set Year 9s next week (have that back row boys). Failing that, I'm going to order one of Sam's telescopes - and thwack them over the head with it. That'll get them to stop sneaking on their phones instead of reading their poetry. Yes, sorted at last. Soph's behaviour management is finally done and dusted.

Rita looks very frail I thought. Who cares (apart from Peter) about Carla's knickers? And Johnny, suddenly a paragon of virtue. Jenny get shot of him, move Ronnie in to your boudoir, make cocktails, have fun, burn his bacon, fry his eggs sunny side up - you go girl.

Poor Abi. Don't do it girl, don't smash the bottle and slash his artery with the ragged edge - you'll end up inside, and we need you in the Street, cos you can properly act, you can.

Love Nina and Roy.
Maria and Gary - meh. She'll have him back now, all is forgiven, she luffs him after all. Then next week he'll let himself down and we'll be back to woe-is-me again.

Laters - Amazon awaits...Wink Grin Wink

UhtredRagnarson · 02/06/2021 13:02

Why did Sharon even have a taser? Was that explained?

lollipoprainbow · 02/06/2021 13:47

@SophieB100 😂😂😂 I wouldn't mind burning Ron's bacon and frying his eggs!

Akire · 02/06/2021 14:23

He actor who plays Rita is 87!!!! No wonder she is looking tad frail. Must be hard for producers when actors can die from old age and you then have to deal with it.

I felt sorry for Sharon but she was willing to just sit in the van and wait for Gary to be murdered so she can get stuffed.

Serpenta · 02/06/2021 14:27

Rita is doing well for 87 but she does seem frailer recently. Unsurprisingly!

And then there’s Ken Barlow who’s the same age (maybe a bit older) but he strides about like a 62 year old who’s got places to be and ladies to seduce. He just doesn’t age.

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 02/06/2021 14:36

Surely Imran would be struck off for constantly revealing confidential information. What was all that fuss about someone running off with a load of knickers and not paying? Confused

Akire · 02/06/2021 14:39

I hate when they do the silly stuff with funerals. What was the stupid story when Ollie died something similar. Funeral and silly running around with Sharon. Then oh dear someone run off with my knickers ... who cares!

TheVolturi · 02/06/2021 14:39

Yes Ronnie did look quite awesome the other day didn't he, with his arms out. I'd been thinking he was just a porker before that, in his too tight jackets. Ronnie or Johnny? Not a fair contest is it really!

I can’t remember but I know with geoffs they had Eileen fucking about with the hearse and she ran over the funeral wreath!!
eggandonion · 02/06/2021 16:09

Where is Billy, why isn't he doing high class arch deacon funerals? He doesn't even pop in to comfort the bereaved very often.

eddiemairswife · 02/06/2021 17:40

For which, the bereaved should be eternally grateful.

SophieB100 · 02/06/2021 17:59

Perhaps Billy's fallen down the sink hole with all the sprogs. We can only hope.
