New thread required, old one full.

Aveline Mon 26-Sept-22 11:11:54

I think she's very convincing.

BlueBelle Mon 26-Sept-22 11:21:37

Oh I think Eveline knocks spots of Blanche in my opinion
She’s a real softie with a hard crunchy but very dry and funny exterior

Doodledog Mon 26-Sept-22 11:23:41

I agree. I think she's been hurt and doesn't want to leave herself open to that again, so doesn't show her softer side; but underneath she is caring - she loves Tyrone.

Franbern Mon 26-Sept-22 11:26:43

Do wonder if there is something in the contract about using the hospital set regularly. No waiting either for, or in, ambulances in this Soap Land!!!! Might be good to see some of the older residents of the Cobbles mentioning their vaccinations.

So very fed up with the Stephen story - please, please bring this to a conclusion as quickly as possible. Bad story, even worse actor.

Aveline Mon 26-Sept-22 11:38:34

Same old prison too. Reckon Stephen might be the next occupant?
PS don't forget Phyllis Pearce in the battle axe line up. Blanche was great though

Doodledog Mon 26-Sept-22 11:54:55

Oh yes, Phyllis was great. Specially when she was setting her cap at poor old Percy grin.

If Evelyn is going to have a romance with Roy it will have to be pretty quick as I think the actress is going out of the show for a while.

NotTooOld Mon 26-Sept-22 17:23:55

Oh, I'll miss Evelyn if she goes off for a sabbatical, or whatever it is they all go off for occasionally. A rest, probably.

Doodledog Mon 26-Sept-22 17:46:28

She's going to play in theatre. I can't remember the role, but I think it's a solo play.

I will miss Evelyn too - I hope ML doesn't get too enamoured of the smell of the greasepaint grin.

Pleased to see I am not the only one who thinks Evelyn is the greatest thing to happen to Corrie.I know she is a very good actress but I have a sneaking feeling the part was created for her.The whole story of how she suddenly became Tyrone's grandmother is ridiculous.
Canada and New Zealand must be full of redundant soap opera characters waiting to be re called back.

Doodledog Mon 26-Sept-22 19:07:14

It's on tonight, so fingers crossed this episode will see the back of Stephen.

lemsip Mon 26-Sept-22 20:49:05

the police lady should be retired.. and police come in two's not one alone..

stephen's in big trouble now

Serendipity22 Mon 26-Sept-22 20:56:35

What the !!!!

Doodledog Mon 26-Sept-22 21:01:25

Oh come on!

Normal people in real life do not start trying to hide or dispose bodies after causing accidental death. I mean, I've never been in that situation, but I'm pretty sure I'd call an ambulance, or faint or something - I wouldn't be sneaking about under cover of darkness like that. I really wish scriptwriters would keep away from the criminal stories. They are never convincing.

My sentiments exactly .

JaneJudge Mon 26-Sept-22 21:16:32

confused quite

Aveline Mon 26-Sept-22 21:19:14

And he knows there's CC TV too. Actually I thought he might be going to have a heart attack.
Poor Jenny.

nadateturbe Mon 26-Sept-22 21:28:51

Just watching on plus1. Not another murder ?.
Honestly, storylines couldn't get more ridiculous.
(How I miss Neighbours.)

Serendipity22 Mon 26-Sept-22 21:34:34

Bring back Crossroads.... cant see Benny bringing the soap into disrepute!!!!!

Franbern Tue 27-Sept-22 15:57:57

Yes, I agree about accidental death, etc. Even Gary's killing of the gangster was purely self-defence. Did not understand at the time, why he did not jus call the police when it happened. This story line with Stephen is getting more and more silly and badly acted. Even that actor does not believe in its!!!!

More murders on the cobbles, in proportion to the population than Midsomer.

dogsmother Tue 27-Sept-22 16:39:51

Well wasn’t it poor, the Steven stupidness I mean. Evelyn on the other hand did walk quietly away and it made me sad as she is such a good character.

NotTooOld Tue 27-Sept-22 21:49:28

So Leo's now in Stephen's car boot, is that right? I can't think what I would do with a dead body in my boot. Maybe sell the car? grin

JaneJudge Tue 27-Sept-22 21:57:49

where do they get a body bag from at such short notice? absolutely bonkers

Grannynannywanny Tue 27-Sept-22 22:02:05

They probably run them up in the knicker factory as a side line to keep up with the local demand ?
