Yes, lovely Daniel should keep away from Daisy, a right little hussy, and I'm on team Fiz. I agree that Hope is a good little actress. James should take a few lessons from her. Will Ronnie and Jenny get together, do you think?

Corrie
(130 Posts)Did anyone else see the scene between Brian & Abi on Weds night. It was so well done, brought a tear to my eye.
I couldn’t stand Ronnie when he first appeared, that awful white cap! I think it was because he was a Bailey, the worst acting family in the street. Now he has escaped from their clutches, he has really grown on me, quite good looking, his acting is so much improved. I think he and Jenny would make a great team running the Rovers.
Is Johnny not returning?
Ummm Ronnie is rather nice on the eye, lovely smile I can see him and Jenny together, she’d keep him on his toes. I d swap him for the rest of the Baileys and Johnny combined
Afraid I never found Johnny very appealing much prefer Ronnie
The Baileys really are the worst actors on Corrie, with the possible exception of Dev. I would like to see Jenny & Ronnie get together as well.
Some of my favourite scenes were between Mary & Norris, wish she could have a love interest now Norris is gone.
Where’s the lovely Curtis (calendar man) gone? Have I missed something? I’m not keen on any of the Baileys - all terrible actors. Cringe-worthy. I find Alina, with her squeaky voice, side-long glances and swingy hips very irritating. She tries to look seductive, but in a child-like way, if that makes sense. I think Ty will end up back with a Fizz (and Nanna!). He’s having serious doubts about his relationship with Alina.
Tyrone gets himself in some pickles, all because he can't or won't be truthful about things in case he hurts anyone. Agree with other posters that the Baileys are awful actors. Were they really the best at auditions? I had to side with Chesney when he told Fizz that Hope would not be welcome at their house until her treatment was getting results. We have not seen the last of Hope's dark side yet.
Off topic but Abi's got beautifully painted and manicured finger nails for a car mechanic. 
Don’t like Grace, Michael’s on/off girlfriend, but as usual, ghastly Aggie was sticking her nose in when she shouldn’t, telling Grace there was no way she would be taking their granddaughter away after Michael had broken off the relationship. Nothing to do with you, Aggie, let them sort things out themselves.
Then of course, Grace resorts to blackmail re the other house…..
Kate1949 - yes, I thought that, too!
Love Ronnie, great addition to the street.
What has happened to Jenny's husband? Why has he disappeared? Wait a minute, wasn't he in it last week?
He sort of flits in & out doesn’t he.
My thoughts exactly Kate 1949, although she probably gets gel nails done by Alina regularly! Agree with BlueBelle and Kandinsky too, Ronnie is rather attractive, probably the best looking male in the street!
I agree that that Sally Carman plays Abi brilliantly and it was good to see Peter Gunn show another side of Brian. (I looked up the actors' names out of respect!)
On the Alina /Fiz debate is there only me who sees Alina as controlling and manipulative despite the apparent sweetness. She is completely different to the poor abused girl who first appeared on the Street and had a relationship with Seb. Look how she is trying to change Tyrone into something he is not, for example and is happy to have an engagement ring that is way more than he can afford.
Grace is very similar and using her child to get what she wants when she is thwarted. Coronation Street has always dealt with difficult issues and I am hoping that they will highlight the damage that can be done both to children and their fathers when women begin to use coercive and psychological control. I have personally found this is more common than anyone would imagine.
On another tack, it might be me, but does Grace already have a job? If not, I wonder why baby Glory is in nursery? She is only a few months old, would have thought her mum would be looking after her, as she often seems at a loose end whilst living with the interfering Aggie.
If she and Michael had stayed together, do not know how he would manage living away from mum and dad. He always seems to need bossy old Nurse Aggie to tell him what to do.
What a horrendous MIL she would be.
Am I the only one who was concerned that the blood supply to Ronnie’s arms was in jeopardy last night. His arms were bulging so much in those tight fitting jacket sleeves he looked like he was about to burst out of it like the Incredible Hulk.
No grannynanny I was too busy watching that handsome face and flashing smile
I thought Kev s son had a lost a leg and had a prosthetic
one he seems to walk pretty normally !
Alina has certainly got an annoying voice but so has Fizz
I wonder how what’sit ( can’t remember her name Tim’s daughter ) is doing in prison Is there anyone in Corrie who hasn’t been to prison ?
Between prison and hospital I reckon the whole streets been there and done that

I think you raise a really good point about Alina & Tyrone. She tells him what to wear, which may seem trivial to some viewers, and it’s even raised some laughs with him walking around in ridiculous tight jeans, but had this been a man telling a woman how to dress people would be a bit more outraged. I mean he clearly looks really uncomfortable in his new trendy young clothes.
I was surprised last night when the police officer who visited the Webster’s house wasn’t “our Craigy” For a rookie officer he seems to turn up for every police situation and usually on his own. He’s even been shot in the line of duty without leaving his own street.
Yes BlueBelle just about everyone in that street has been in prison or hospital. But fortunately they have Imran to cater for all their legal requirements and nurse Aggie waiting at the hospital.
I do love Corrie, it’s the only soap I watch faithfully.
I know its only a TV soap programme but you can sit and get lost in it for a short while and watch other peoples dysfunctional lives.
Fizz's short sightedness about Hope's problems drives me to distraction,there must have been problems within their marriage for Tyron to stray in the first place.
Ronnie is very easy on the eye it's about time we had someone for the lady's enjoyment.
Daniel is coming into his own reminds me of his grandad when he was young .
Jack seems to have grown up very fast how old is he supposed to be now ? he is head and shoulders above Kevin now.
Abbie & Brian's scene was so well acted it brought a tear to my glass eye .

Yes, all Ronnie’s clothes are way too tight! The Incredible Hulk indeed! Even his jackets are like straight jackets. It’s all done to emphasise his enviable physique, of course, although he could get strangled by those tight togs which are literally straining at the seams. The manipulative Daisy seems rather smitten with him too - if Jenny doesn’t bag him soon, I think Daisy will be batting those beautiful eyelashes at him even faster - she seems to be working her way through the street’s men!
And if Hope set the flat on fire because Tyrone left home, why did she torch the factory?
Underworld must be the only factory in the U.K. not to have relocated to the Far East. How they keep going with an ever changing management and incompetent staff who sit around chatting, having tea and biscuits by their sewing machines is beyond me. And what has happened to Sarah Louise? I didn’t recognise her with curled hair and bright red lipstick - and where is Adam?
Fiz and Alina might have whiney voices, but it’s Carla’s non-dulcet tones that set my teeth on edge.
Don’t think any of the Bailey family can act I’m afraid, so wooden. Love Tyrone, Jack, most of them, find Daisy creepy, but very pretty, you wouldn’t wish her on anyone though, she’s not a stayer. Think Daniel is lovely and hope he finds a partner, I could still cry thinking of when the love of his life died. Fizz is irritating, I know she’s nice, but he4 voice grates.
