New thread required, old one full.

Well, and there was me thinking it was Nick who had the fashion business in Italy. I remember him coming back from somewhere abroad and Gail being over the moon.
Agree about David, he's very small although sort of sexy with it, I suppose. Can anyone tell me why Shona always wears those awful ripped jeans?

Doodledog Mon 04-Jul-22 19:36:49

I didn't realise that Helen Worth was 71! How old is the Gail character? Early 60s?

Knittynatter Mon 04-Jul-22 20:20:55

Why does Fizz’s future MIL sound like Dame Edna?? ??

lemsip Mon 04-Jul-22 20:38:03

nooooo! it's Hyacinth Bouquet or (bucket) ha ha

Aveline Mon 04-Jul-22 21:09:28

She reminds me a bit of Molly Sugden. Not a very subtle performance.

BlueBelle Mon 04-Jul-22 21:17:00

Definitely Hyacinth Bouquet
David sexy? oh not for me
Poor Tyrone
I like the way jobs just appear, no applications, no refusals, no checking credentials

Surprised no one has asked Spider how his Aunt Emily is, seeing as Emily Bishop upped sticks and left the Street to go and live with him in Peru, of all places.

Does Ronnie ever do any work? Or is he just Debbie’s gigolo?

I thought Mimi and her Dame Edna voice was the most annoying character on the street. But I actually enjoyed the fun and games between her and Evelyn tonight. Phil’s ex wife looks familiar. I think maybe she played a snooty character in Emmerdale years ago.

I hate the Spider storyline. I hope it’s not going drag on for months but suspect it probably will. He was a pain the first time round and it looks like he hasn’t changed.

Kate1949 Mon 04-Jul-22 22:22:00

Evelyn is great.

Grannynannywanny Mon 04-Jul-22 22:37:50

I love Evelyn Kate1949, she’s my favourite character.

Kate1949 Mon 04-Jul-22 22:46:22

Mine too Granny. Maureen Lipman is brilliant.

Can anyone explain to me why this particular thread is not appearing on the trending threads please?

Calendargirl Tue 05-Jul-22 06:34:13

Mouseybrown

I find the Corrie thread often doesn’t appear on ‘trending’, after I have posted something on it.

I think GNHQ are not fans of the programme.

I think poor old Spider is a dreadful actor, as an activist I nearly fall asleep when he’s on I don’t think he could activate a whirlwind it would drop off the radar to his drone

Aveline Tue 05-Jul-22 12:37:38

I know I shouldn't say this but I find Spider so physically unattractive that I don't like to look at him.
Imran was so lovely too. Ah well.

Doodledog Tue 05-Jul-22 14:23:55

?

You are both meanies!

I have a soft spot for poor old Spider, although I hope he's not another one who is up to no good. Toyah needs a break from wrong 'uns.

Grannynannywanny Tue 05-Jul-22 15:48:58

How convenient that Toyah was able to slip into the office and locate the box that contained a key with Brewery clearly tagged on it. Are we now to believe there’s no cctv covering the area despite all the previous dramas that have occurred there? Hostages/sexual assault/blackmail/guns to name a few.

Surely Spider could have used some bolt cutters to get into the brewery and save Toyah a trip to the police station. And why wasn’t our Craigy there to stop them in their tracks ?

Sassanach512 Tue 05-Jul-22 15:56:56

I'm glad to see Evelyn has the measure of Mimi and isn't letting her get away with her shenanigans and she's not afraid to speak her mind. Corrie is lucky to have such a brilliant actress as Maureen Lipman she's a breath of fresh air in the show. Fiz needs to stop pandering to the conniving Mimi and develop a backbone or she'll never get a moment's peace. Mind you, I'm sure the wedding is doomed anyway and Fiz will back out.

Calendargirl Wed 06-Jul-22 10:25:01

Don’t want to give too much away, and haven’t read all the smutty details, but be prepared for the next cringeworthy instalment of the Sally/Tim sex drama.

The phrase ‘tantric sex’ has been spotted in forthcoming storylines. As if it couldn’t get any more cringy and embarrassing!

blush and shock.

Mouseybrown60 Thu 07-Jul-22 14:50:34

Poor Mimi, being blamed for sending emails purporting to be from Phill to his ex Camilla when it was Hope all the time!

Doodledog Thu 07-Jul-22 14:55:52

Hope is a pantomime villain, isn't she? She just needs a pair of horns.

I hope the tantric sex episode comes with a trigger warning grin. That sounds too grim.

Calendargirl Thu 07-Jul-22 15:27:02

Well, it was pretty obvious it was Hope all along, as she hated the dresses.

What was she doing last thing last night, cancelling the wedding venue?

lemsip Fri 08-Jul-22 20:36:14

well for a minute I thought the wedding would be off as fizz hesitated

Doodledog Fri 08-Jul-22 20:37:29

Yes, she really loves Tyrone, doesn't she?

Calendargirl Fri 08-Jul-22 20:45:50

Not many wedding guests, about half a dozen or so. Hardly worth the big marquee.

A wigwam would have been big enough.

Hope, as ever, gets away with all her naughty pranks.
