Coronation street

Valerie Barlow though. A nasty end. It wasn't all milk stout in the snug!

I’ve not watched Corrie for YEARS.
I remember these 3 in the snug at the Rovers Return.
Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst - on our old black & white tv when I was at junior school.

I recall getting a jigsaw puzzle (in colour!) one Christmas of this scene.

I also remember Annie (posh) and Jack (kindly) Walker.
Arthur Swindley.
Albert Tatlock (grumpy).

Gentler times indeed.

Well Peter's the picture of health isn't he? What a wonderful recovery he's made. Looks like he's been on a Caribbean holiday without Carla!

Thats the fashion now Rosina! Its the same with short sleeved shirts. They look as if they would cut the circulation off in their biceps .
I would find it very uncomfortable. I dont like the look either.

Yes - I do wish that wardrobe would put Ronnie into something that fits; poor man, his clothes look as if they are about to explode and the strange grey jacket he wears is straining across the chest and has shoulder seams that are on his upper arms.

I too think there’s something dodgy about Curtis. Not quite sure what.
Dev has always had that ridiculous way of speaking, even in the Sunita days, but it’s even more pronounced now. When he called Adie “honey” (several times) I could scream. Ronnie’s career (if he has one) is a complete mystery, unless he’s really the Incredible Hulk. I think one day he’ll turn green and burst out of that tight fitting shirt. I do find Daniel quite a looker, along with Imran and Curtis.

I definitely agree that the younger cast members are all (one exception being Jack ) out acting the older ones.
Also agree that there is something very dodgy about Curtis.
Is Fitz now going to get jealous that Tyrone is dating someone else, just as he was so jealous when she was dating?
Nice to see the occasional happy returns of some of the couple, getting back together. We need good news stories in our soaps these days more than ever.

Charlie Stubbs was the builder. Steve would have had over his fund-raising cash to the official charity surely. I think this will come to a climax at Christmas. The younger cast members are better actors than the older ones.

I agree Rosina Dev was much more believable last night when he was talking to Adi.

Never heard a boy called Honey except poor Adi calandergirl

Do most dads call their sons “honey”?

Their daughters maybe,

Perhaps I’m being sexist though.

Bill Ward was the actor who played 'charlie' murdered by 'tracy' went on to act in emmerdale before being killed off again

I don’t find Devs speech hard to hear (unfortunately) it’s that long and whining ‘Honey’ that really grates on me ,he’s been in it so long and I can’t remember him always being so whinny in the older days

I find Dev’s speech incoherent at times in almost every episode. I sometimes rewind the tv and turn the volume up and listen again. But, I’m usually none the wiser. Maybe I need a hearing test.

Dev's way of speaking is unlike anyone I've ever heard in real life or on screen.

I agree that it's annoying, and it makes it impossible to suspend disbelief and forget that you are watching a drama - I find none of his storylines credible. It's a shame though, as Asha and Aadi are growing into their roles, and are both good actors.

DD thinks Dev sounds permanently drunk!

Tonight for the first time Dev spoke to his son in a normal manner, without incredibly exaggerated vocal gymnastics. He has become so annoying that I was beginning to wish a tram crash, gun wielding madperson, sinkhole - anything - would 'take him out' and save viewers having to listen to the strange manner in which he delivers his lines. Let us hope this is a new beginning!

Calendargirl

Oh dear, poor Summer!

Love hurts.

I've just caught up with this, and yes - my heart went out to her.

The young residents aren't having a good time just now, are they? I hope life starts looking up for them soon.

I cant remember the actors name who played Charlie, but I do remember I thought he was good at the time, and I was sorry they killed him off.

I agree Ronnie has a lovely face, but I find his bulging biceps a turn off.

I'm often loosing track these days Calendargirl The storylines are too similar to others just a couple of months apart.

No the money wasn’t Oliver’s fund steve said he couldn’t use that It s some savings he had !
I don’t find Daniel sexy he’s not bad but not up there for me
Poor Summer when she said she was free with that excited hopeful face and he said ‘to babysit’ bless her

Oh dear, poor Summer!

Love hurts.

The builder murdered by Tracy was Charlie, can’t remember surname.

I thought Steve said last night that he couldn’t use Oliver’s fund money, so would use his savings. I agree, where has he got savings from? Did he sell some property/cab office/florist shop to dastardly but dishy Ray Crosby?

I seem to have lost track somewhat.

I think Daniel is the sexiest man on Coronation Street, too. Bit bizarre that he is also gay - in real life, I mean. Summer is definitely going to get hurt, I'm afraid, but not sure Daisy will get her heart's desire, either. I think someone else will come along for Daniel.

As for Curtis, yes, something peculiar there. I did read somewhere that he is the son of the bloke murdered by Tracy. Can't remember his name but he was a builder, I think.
The money that Steve has is the fund for Oliver, so he shouldn't be spending it on Curtis.

I've wondered that, along with whether he is really a trainee doctor. Surely the very basic anatomy questions that Emma was asking him aren't going to be on a real exam on a Medical degree?

Is Curtis really ill or are we being led up the garden path. This question along with the meaning of life is giving me sleepless nights ?
