So sadly we lost Paul, the air has been chilly.
Bernie had a rave, and Summer is comforting Billy.
Todd is a dude, and David's quite a lark.
It'll be Christmas by the next thread, and really quite dark.

Cassie is a sly one, she's taking Ken in.
I wish the naughty scouser would get in the bin.
Gail and Audrey don't have much going on at the mo.
And Stu and Yasmeen are always on the go.

Poor Bethany was slim but she got liposuction.
The fallout from the procedure has caused quite a ruction.
She owes so many thousands, you just wouldn't believe.
The clinic have her passport so she simply can't leave.

Damon's creeped out of the woodwork for a minute.
It's none of his business but he's poked his nose in it.
Offering Sarah dodgy cash he's got hidden away.
Sarah may have to take it. It may be the only way.

The pub is fairly quiet, and not much going on there
Daisy, Jenny, and Glenda all have fab hair!
Daniel is fussing around Bethany all the time
And people blame him for Bethany, like he's committed a crime.

Fizz is very pregnant, but may not keep the baby.
Tyrone really wants to, and says 'can we, maybe?'
Hope and Ruby fancy a new sister or brother.
But we know who'll be looking after it, Yep, the mother!

Carla and Lisa are vibing quite nice.
You can see their reactions when they look in each others eyes.
Mason's trying to go straight, but is he for real?
Or will he go back to his old ways, and bully and steal?

Kit has been fairly quiet, and the quads have been too!
What's the point of the quads, what do they even do?
Can't think of much else going on right now.
And can't get this last bit to rhyme. Grin

Freshco is imaginary now. It used to be very exciting.

And Betterbuys. Or was that the same store... rebranded/renamed?

SabreIsMyFave · 27/10/2024 13:07

As for who would I like to see go...

Sam definitely. Pointless character, and a bad actor.

Gemma and the quads. Gemma is revolting. Bad mannered, and grim to look at. Always moaning too. Quads are a bad storyline that should never have happened, and IMO, it's untenable to keep them in long term.

Kit. Just don't like him.

Sadly yeah Mary too. She adds nothing to the programme now. Her character used to be quirky, but now she's just ridiculous. Not entertaining, and not funny.

Sarah Platt. Annoying, boring, no fire in her belly now. Dull character.

The Baileys (except DeeDee and Ronnie.)

Billy and Summer. Billy is a ludicrous character, and a shit vicar. NEVER does his job, and is tedious. Summer is a dull and pointless character.

Lauren can go now too.

There was the freezer place then better buys then freshco...were there takeovers?
People had to actually go to them for work.
A social worker would be excellent. There is a lot of work with Ken and the quads and Lauren. And whoever.

JewelleryCat · 27/10/2024 16:48

If you haven’t watched it on ITVX, Corrie is on tonight at 8pm 🙂

DeeDeesfabulouswardrobe · 27/10/2024 17:17

Agree with Gemma and the quads, they add nothing to the street, happy to keep Chesney for old times sake and Joseph can stay he’s a good little actor. Billy can get in the bin, don’t mind Summer. Mary is just ridiculous and not remotely amusing now she doesn’t have Norris. Brian can go he adds nothing. Get rid of the ‘troubled’ teens, Betsy, Lauren and Mason. Nina needs to leave, fed up of her monotone drone and scratchy dresses that look as though they will go up in flames any minute. Craig, Kit and Blondie police woman (can’t remember her name) can clear off and resurrect The Bill. Eileen needs to go as it’s so awful watching a once fabulous strong, gutsy Northern woman be reduced to a passive character who has nothing to say.

helgel · 27/10/2024 18:30

Lauren's an uncomfortable watch, but Stu really, really needs to stay gone.

AmusedMaker · 27/10/2024 18:33

JewelleryCat thank you!

JewelleryCat thank you!

You’re welcome 🙂

Roryno · 27/10/2024 20:24

I like Lauren and she can actually act.

I don’t mind Sam.
Not sure about Kitt.
Gemma and the kids can go.
Tyrone’s mum can go.
Billy and Summer are on a warning.
Mary can go.
Whatserface in the motorised wheelchair can go.
Sean can go.

augustusglupe · 27/10/2024 22:25

Not watched for about 6 months. Is Eileen still in it?
She was great back in the day, but when she came back, stones lighter and with something done to her face, she didn’t work.
Her whole personality changed.
She’s like some wealthy auntie that’s popped in from Hale.

BirthdayRainbow · 27/10/2024 22:40

She is. She lost weight as she was very ill. I doubt she had anything done to her face. I really hate all these comments about how people look.

JaneJeffer · 27/10/2024 23:18

What's with the heartbeat/flatline thing on the credits?

I think it was something to do with BHF because a BHF advert came on straight after Corrie finished

SabreIsMyFave · 27/10/2024 23:30

I do wonder if this naff storyline of this Jesse coming in and whisking Gail off to Thailand - to get married - was originally meant to be David's dad Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) coming back and whisking them off to get (re)married.

Because IMO Jesse coming from nowhere, and taking Gail off to Thailand (and them getting married) is one of the most ridiculous storylines for a few years. Just unbelievable. It being Martin would have been more credible IMO. If he had been in Corrie for a few months (as they planned) and then had got back with Gail and sailed off into the sunset with her, that would have been more believable/credible.

But for some reason, even though all the scenes were written and (mostly) filmed with Martin. They cut him out and completely changed it all at the 11th hour. I wonder why?

And as I said, I wonder if Jesse's role in Gail's exit was originally meant to be Martin??? 👀

Yes of course it’s all been rewritten with Jessie because they had to ditch Martin out at the last minute. In time I should imagine it’s all going to come out as to why that actor had to be removed immediately.

friendlycat · 27/10/2024 23:37

Who knows. Perhaps the story in the Sun could even allude to the actor who played key roles in the 90s in major soaps.

I wish it would come out, because I'm dying to know!

i was waiting for gail to flat line at the end

Dontcallmescarface · 28/10/2024 06:45

Two things about Gail's operation confused me a little so I'm wondering if anybody can help....1 why was she given a GA for her stent when it's done under a LA and 2 where was the tight plastic thingy that is put over the wrist at the site of the the insertion? Having had a heart attack 11 weeks ago and a stent fitted straight away (went straight from ambulance to the Cath lab), it made me question it a little. Also I hope Gail's cardio rehab consists of more than the 3 10 minute phone calls I had.

AmusedMaker · 28/10/2024 06:45

Why did Gail go to Thailand in the first place?
Has she got family there?

I’m so bored with the Toyah / Nick storyline.
“I love you yes, but can it wait until a week on Tuesday”

Sorbiecorner · 28/10/2024 06:53

Was that a whole episode last night without Swain?

JewelleryCat · 28/10/2024 07:27

SabreIsMyFave · 27/10/2024 23:40

I’m also wondering what happened with Sean Wilson because I was excited to see him back on the cobbles and for Gail to get a proper send off but to ask Jesse to marry her from her bed, he looked annoyed about that

Shellingbynight · 28/10/2024 08:19

Eileen is a bit part nowadays. The actress was ill, and when recovered she went off to do Sister Act on stage, so she’s barely been in it.

Jesse is the ‘emergency option’ due to Sean W’s departure, but I don’t think Martin would have worked much better. Lewis would have been ideal.

I thought Jesse’s look of irritation when they were talking about marriage related to him staying in Weatherfield, he doesn’t want to. Presumably they will move away. The heart attack was to make them realise ‘life’s too short’, grab your opportunities.

Nice to see Bethany is back to normal (shrieking) after so recently being at death’s door. I bet her stoma IS reversed in a year or so when the storyline has served its purpose. Either that or never referred to again.

It was a drab episode despite the Platts. Not one of the better writers last night.

JewelleryCat · 28/10/2024 10:22

Is that why Gail was talking about Thailand and how she was happy there? Will they move there? I do think Martin would have worked because he’s the one that got away in a sense even though he had the affair with Rebecca. I just don’t think Gail and Jesse have chemistry and the actors look awkward with each other
