Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! RIP Jonny Connor; and also Natasha (she too is a goner); and will Roy’s lies cost him his honour?

[WomanStanleyWoman]

New thread. I would link from the old one, but it got filled up with… well, I’m sure you can see.

I can't remember Jack being that crap when he was younger! I suppose it's a gamble that they take when hiring child actors who only have to say the odd word or two. The original Sarah was awful. She used to shout her lines at the screen.

I think he became a less good actor after the major leg story. He needs a few lessons.
Isnt Corey vile though. He looks dreadful, apart from being horrid. I hope the actor can move on to other work, he is really good at being really bad!

It’s rare to sabot on Corrie, but he’s a cracking good actor! (Corey)

Agree Corey is a fantastic actor. I really hate him

I have to say if I was his dad I wouldn’t let him out unsupervised. He’s a liability to himself!

@eggandonion

I'm sacred that if Stu stays he will have to be housed by Billy in the posh archdeacon house, and there will be Billy storylines.

😆

Heaven forfend

Jack was so wooden last night it was dreadful to watch. Plus please don’t start the Maria storyline with the climate change narrative...soaps are meant to be escapism not the same stuff we hear all day on news ! Please drop it ...

Could just see Jack behind the door waiting for his cue to come barging in...just so bad! Especially when acting alongside Abi, Kev and Debbie.

How is Liam's asthma?

I agree that Corey is a fabulous actor as I really hate him too

I think Liams asthma is under control, but Maria is concerned about traffic fumes. The journalist who is dr gadass's daughter was interviewing her with Tracey looking menacing.
Youd imagine the Health Centre would be busy with the covid stuff, and assorted people falling down holes.
Nobody has had covid despite no masks and apparently no vaccines.

Like others have said, I may be misremembering but
I don't remember Jack acting so badly during the amputation storyline, but he seems to have got worse since then As for treating him like a toddler, that's what always happens with kids in Corrie-land until they hit their teen years. Then the writers suddenly remember how old they are and they get a new head and a teenage pregnancy/teen tearaway storyline

As lovely as Emma is, would she really be so ditsy as to think that anatomy would mean studying the stars? She needs to be paired up with someone as intellectual as Kirk.
I'm sure I read that Corey actor is going back to do an actIng course. Maybe he could take Jack with him 🤔

They went to trouble of story line be nice reference occasionally. Plenty amputees have problems and need time off blades. We never see him using crutches or any problems with it. Are we supposed think one middle of night and he needs wee he put leg on and goes all way upstairs?!

@cheeseisthebest

Sorry Jack's meant to be 11?? His voice has broken and he's about 6ft tall.

Yes, only a year older than Sam...

The actor is 14 in real life (according to Wiki)

I might move to Coronation Street, where everything other than the most serious of serious medical conditions (such as Oliver's and Curtis') are fixed overnight.

Jack's amputated leg - have a prosthetic which will never need refitting or cause you any pain ever.
Liam's asthma- cured just like that. No ongoing issues while they find the right dose of meds.

Back in the real world I've had ongoing issues for years which the GP just brushes off.

Jack and Sam are in the same year at school y6 both going to high school next September!
Sam actor is a million times better than jack actor he’s so wooden but to be fair he gets shit story’s and lines

Currently watching last night's episodes and I agree, Jack's acting is so poor and robotic! No emotion or feeling at all.

Emma is so dumb she annoys me😂 Curtis is obviously some sort of fake student or something like that.
I really do find these storylines so pathetic

Poor Curtis is obviously not well because he is in hospital a lot. He needs a heart transplant, and i can think of several people who could donate...
I think maybe playing a younger kid with a broken voice is a big ask really. Jack should be sent to boarding school, or to visit his mum's family for a few years.

They havnt said about transplant have they? It’s still the we don’t know we can’t fix nothing we can do stage?

Talking of implants they got Peter over his v fast. Will they just not mention alcohol again?

Yeah I definitely do feel bad for Curtis as it seems no one has much answers for him. He did seem quite dodgy when Emma had said she spoke to Aggie so wonder what that's all about.

Just read through the thread and seen he's 14 in real life! When Debbie said he's 11 I was just thinking what the hell. I can see how that playing a character that age would be such a challenge and I agree they should send him off somewhere for a few years

I wonder if Curtis will become a brilliant doctor in record time and diagnose himself

I don't know why nobody is mentioning a transplant, its routine surgery onthe street.
Peter was looking fresh when he appeared for a few seconds.

If Curtis gets a heart can Emma get a brain please.

Who would be the brain donor though?
