Hi all,

This is @StillCoughingandLaughing. My account got deleted because someone accused me of racism and, even though her accusations were removed, the fact that I fought back was apparently worse than making false allegations in the first place. Hence no more account.

I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed talking Corrie with you all Smile I’m sorry that it’s over. All the best to anyone who sees this before it’s deleted x

@Clawdy

Emma looked lovely in that dress.
I thought that too! I'm on a diet and am looking forward to wearing cool, summer things like that ... without having to cover anything up!

Just caught up. Bistro man has to be Emma half sister or something. No other reason why obsessed over calendar and so hands off Emma.

Just started watching classic Corrie on the hub, and classic Emmerdale, the difference is huge. I have watched them for years but forgotten how much better they used to be compared to now

I don’t know, he looked quite excited when she said she no longer wanted to take it slow and invited him back to the flat. I think it seems weird for us because we haven’t seen them kiss or even be close to each other but I guess that’s the covid guidelines

@SophieB100

Roy's shopping bag has more gravitas than Will.

Can someone please explain how we have gone from a few good episodes (Abi grieving) to this farce, in a matter of weeks?

It's crap again - normal service has resumed.

It's like when someone does something totally unforgivable, they're chatting away in the rovers in no time!

@strugglingwithlife
Classic Corrie is amazing - I started watching all the episodes a couple of months ago, and binge watch the weeks every weekend. It's in a different league. Sharp, funny, sad and runs at a far quicker pace. When I watch current Corrie, it seems like it's in slow motion in comparison.

@Keeping2ChevronsApart
I agree - totally unrealistic - the scripts are driving the storylines - the characters personalities change to fit them. Unlike early Corrie, when I character stayed the same and the plots were character driven.

strugglingwithlife · 18/07/2021 09:54

SophieB100 agree

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 18/07/2021 12:19

I intend to watch Friday's episodes today while DH is glued to the Tour de France. It may be marginally more interesting.

Keeping2ChevronsApart · 18/07/2021 13:48

You knew what you were getting with Jack and Vera. Jack was always getting into scrapes but nothing dangerous and mostly funny! they never did anything out of character like murdering someone or drug dealing

Deadringer · 18/07/2021 23:54

Why would Curtis assume that Emma was breaking up with him, and saying 'this always happens to me.' He is young and good looking, he has a job, and is studying to be a doctor, he should have the world at his feet.
I thought it was hilarious when Gemma asked why Chez was being dropped from the nude Calander, why not drop Imran or Adam she asked. Why not indeed? Hmm

lollipoprainbow · 19/07/2021 05:23

@Deadringer yeah cos we'd much rather see chez naked than those two Grin

TenRays · 19/07/2021 06:57

Tod telling Billy he’s saved up a whole thousand pounds so the three of them can have a holiday of a lifetime 😂 they’ll just about get a week in a seaside town the U.K. for that.

nildesparandum · 19/07/2021 09:22

Not another trainee doctor on Corrie
How long will it be before he gives it up to work in either;
The Rovers
The Bistro
Speed Dahl
Roy’s Rolls
The knicker factory
Or the garage- he was a mechanic before he was a medical student of course

WomanStanleyWoman · 19/07/2021 10:31

Where are Abi and Nina? Seb’s storyline seems to have been forgotten! Also, have Tim, Gary and our Craigy all forgotten poor Faye languishing in the nick?

How come Natasha is now asking Nick to have Sam for a week, make it a regular thing etc, when only 3 weeks ago she was banning him from his life, never to see him again, EVER!?

Yeah that was a quick turnaround. Suddenly she’s fine with it now she needs a babysitter.

Emma is so daft! Grin

MotionActivatedDog · 19/07/2021 19:44

I don’t understand Abi’s reaction just then. Kevin is her partner- she’s seen his nuts and bolt before.

MotionActivatedDog · 19/07/2021 19:51

I I knew Dev would be all over this calendar! Grin

thenightsky · 19/07/2021 19:59

At least he's one character that doesn't switch personality randomly.
eggandonion · 19/07/2021 20:45

I wouldn't expect to go into my local garage or corner shop and be faced by artistic naked people. Where did the dressing gowns come from?
Curtis, please no.

thenightsky · 19/07/2021 20:50

Who is this Danny working in the Bistro? I think I'm losing it.

MotionActivatedDog · 19/07/2021 20:54

He’s footballers boyfriend.

thenightsky · 19/07/2021 20:56

Thanks. I thought I was going mad.

PinkDaydreams · 19/07/2021 20:59

Watched first episode on catch up, can't be bothered with the second. Can someone please tell me who the woman in the bistro tonight with Curtis is please?

MotionActivatedDog · 19/07/2021 21:20
