Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Michael could get back with Grace, Izzy can’t keep up the pace, and will Craig take a stand on race?

Billy puts his trust in God
But shouldn’t trust that sneaky Todd
He framed poor Paul - the rotten sod!

Two Corrie rhymes for the price of one Grin

Yeah Maria should have smashed up her own car. What does she need it for? Even the Coop is on her doorstep and I doubt Bessie St Primary is far away!

thenightsky · 24/08/2021 12:14

Sarah did point out that Maria drove a bloody range rover to which she replied... 'yeah, but I'm getting rid of it'.

Hmm

Even the comments on FB about this storyline are along the lines of ‘what the fuck’ Grin where normally it’s gushing about how amazing it is.

There are welcome to my giant plant pot of a LTN to block their street. Then they can drive all way around back way to get in and out of their street. That help much!

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 24/08/2021 12:54

But didn't Maria give her 'tank' to David? Confused

Akire · 24/08/2021 13:15

Yes I think she did some point! Good remembering though David was driving a red car… come on plot writers

Haywirecity · 24/08/2021 14:46

I seem to remember that earlier in the year on Granada news, there was a big article on air/road pollution, with parents of school children interviewed. Obviously they've tried to link it to that but you never see any cars driving down coronation street. And what was with the comment, "the kids used to play kickabout in the street". No they never did. When did Corrie children ever play in the streets? The whole thing is so bizarre.

thenightsky · 24/08/2021 16:25

Playing out was what the Red Rec was made for.

For three minutes before Liam’s asthma attack Grin

Akire · 24/08/2021 16:52

They never played football in street. Pre double glazing windows were really thin no one would stand football being kicked around near cars or windows. Come on Sally!

Leaveitonthefloordrobe · 24/08/2021 16:57

I remember David kicking a ball around in the street at the beginning of on one of the live episodes years and years ago. Other than that, I don't remember seeing kids playing in the street at all!

The pollution storyline is ridiculous. As if parked cars are going to cause pollution bad enough to trigger asthma 🤦 Whereas I actually live on a main road so all the "we're killing our kids" is causing me all kinds of anxiety 😫

And Jack, who I think was a great actor throught the whole amputation thing, was awful when Liam was struggling to breathe. Why did he just look at him for ages??

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 24/08/2021 17:15

You're more likely to get hit by a car in Coronation St than suffer from fumes. Jenny ran Liz over, Summer was knocked over escaping from Will, Todd was recently mown down by Shona. Have I missed anybody out?

eddiemairswife · 24/08/2021 17:17

The director should have directed Jack to look concerned
during the asthma attack.

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 24/08/2021 17:23

Agreed. Maybe the Jack actor was told to stand there doing nothing.

Akire · 24/08/2021 17:25

It was quite long time he was sitting on floor holding his chest before he shouted. Mild symptoms ok but he’s what 11? meanwhile clever Sam would have already diagnosed it and called 999!

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 24/08/2021 17:32

I'm surprised that Sam hasn't invented a car engine that cures asthma with its healing fumes.

Roussette · 24/08/2021 17:51

Maria said he'd been kicking a football about but all I saw was them rolling a football to each other in a very lackadaisical way!

Liam Connor !

Oh dear god what were they thinking.
I cringed for two at that episode .
Utterly utterly dreadful.
One episode Saint Sally is moaning about cars, the next we have Mad Maria bashing one up!
Ridiculous!

woodhill · 24/08/2021 20:32

It's so unrealistic

Busy body Emma

woodhill · 24/08/2021 20:35

And lazy Grace

lollipoprainbow · 24/08/2021 22:16

Just catching up now. What was with the weird camera angles, Jack staring and Aggie telling Liam to breathe ! Who was watching fizz and Tyrone in the pub garden ?!

SpindleWhorl · 24/08/2021 22:22

It was atrociously

Written
Acted
Directed
Edited
Produced

But the cobbles were quite nicely lit.

Tommy Duckworth's mother. The one who had moved in with Des.

They had David kicking a ball in the street at the beginning of the 40th anniversary episode - I believe they did that because that's how the very first episode began.

I think Judy Mallett got run over?

WomanStanleyWoman · 25/08/2021 01:11

And Carla ran her car into a shop window and crushed Cindy Beale in the process.
