Roll up, roll up!

The old one is full, so post your Corrie thoughts and observations here.

Yes, how many people get shot in the head then walk into an ambulance? The Spider stories are daft. He and Craigie should join up as Morse and Lewis, with different approaches to crime and public order. Or he could resign and become a councillor - do we have one now? Is Maria still on t’council? Or Sally? Or Audrey, come to that? The Street has always had its share of public- minded residents, hasn’t it? What with WARTS, the Square Dealers and Wetherfield Council there are plenty of opportunities for would-be public figures to cut their teeth. What happened to the community centre? Has that lost its way after the racists moved on?

Anyway, Spider must be old enough to retire from the police now?

Tai Chi class and the youth drama group are held in the Community centre.
I didn't recognise Eileen. Her new hairstyle didn't do anything for her. She should have stuck with her old one - after all Gail and Audrey do!

Doodledog Wed 19-Jul-23 07:59:54

Oh yes - so they are (classes held in the CC). Wasn't Eileen in the jungle? Maybe that explains her weight loss and hairdo?

Aveline Wed 19-Jul-23 08:25:10

It was months since she was in the jungle. Her new look makes her look ill. I'd always liked her character in Corrie but was put off by seeing her real personality in the jungle.

Doodledog Wed 19-Jul-23 08:34:32

I wondered if what is being screened now was filmed when she came out of the jungle. I don't watch IACGMOOH, so don't know what she's like (although I doubt I'd be anything but grumpy if I were stuck in there having to eat bugs and have snakes crawl over me), but I like Eileen's character. She has a sense of humour even though life never works out for her very well.

I read an interview with Sue Cleaver (Eileen). She said she went on a health regime to lose weight. I don't blame her if that's what she wants. She looks as though she has new teeth too. Personally I don't like her hair but it's her hair not mine!

Doodledog Wed 19-Jul-23 09:55:43

I'm not a fan of the hairdo either - it looks a bit dated to me. But as you say, it's her hair (an the actress may style it differently when not on film). Good for her if she's lost weight intentionally though.

Beechnut Wed 19-Jul-23 09:56:49

I had to keep looking at Eileen to make sure it was her. I think she looked taller too.

Ilovecheese Wed 19-Jul-23 12:01:28

Just to say we don't get limescale in Manchester, we have soft water. No need for Elaine to de scale the kettle.

Aveline Wed 19-Jul-23 12:21:03

Useful intel Ilovecheese wink

sodapop Wed 19-Jul-23 12:23:43

I think Sue Cleaver has diabetes which is why she is eating more healthily.

But then what was the ‘bit’ that Stephen found in his ‘brew’?

If I were Elaine, I would have told him to fish the ‘bit’ out, and then drink it.

Hoping it choked him.

Aveline Wed 19-Jul-23 21:23:38

Oh dear. Poor Tim. At least Elaine's on to Stephen at last. She was acting very well. Confused and distressed. Very believable unlike Mary, Brian and Isabella.

merlotgran Fri 21-Jul-23 19:44:13

I haven’t watched Corrie for years but I’m just watching Gardeners World from Tatton Park Flower Show. Barbara Knox was chatting to Joe Swift. Hard to believe she’s 89. She looks amazing!

lemsip Fri 21-Jul-23 20:47:32

oh dear, poor aadi doesn't know what to do or how to deal with his new 'job' and dev is no actor

Calendargirl Fri 21-Jul-23 20:59:46

How will Elaine get Stephen out of the flat? Didn’t they go in it together, although I know it was her money that bought it?

What a mess!

Primrose53 Fri 21-Jul-23 21:51:22

That scheming Stephen!! Surely Elaine won't fall for it again.

I hope Aadi escapes the clutches of his boss's wife. that will end in tears, I'm sure. He and Amy would make a good couple, I think.

LauraNorderr Sat 22-Jul-23 02:06:37

When will Audrey find out that Stephen has released equity on her house, surely the annual statement has dropped through the letterbox by now.
When will all the dead bodies surface. Horrible, manipulative, sinister character, hope he gets his comeuppance soon.
Let’s hope Dev discovers what Stephen has been up to, then Stephen can bump off Dev before he’s arrested. Two birds with one stone.
I agree Amy and Aadi would be a lovely couple, he’s so kind and gentle, he’d give her back her confidence and trust in men and she’d add a bit of a spark to him. Hope he doesn’t succumb to the tarty wife of the boss. Is it a ploy to test his loyalty or is she in to young men?
Not sure about Brian and Mary, she needs a better character to play off with those comic one liners, Brian is a bit wimpy.

Aveline Sat 22-Jul-23 07:13:26

NOOO I love Dev! Poor Aadi. That woman is a pantomime tart. Surely he'll see through her.
Brian is at least believable. I've never understood why Mary is still going. She's never rung true to me. Similarly I don't understand Elaine's nylon hair!

Charleygirl5 Sat 22-Jul-23 07:47:41

d cannot stand the sight of Dev and if Aadi is not careful he will find himself jobless having succumbed to that tart.

I hope that is the last we will see of Isabella.

I would not be surprised if Tim packs up Stephen's belongings and leaves them outside. Thankfully Elaine has seen the light and stayed alive.

Who else is available, single with money? Jenny and the pub?

I need to keep up! What is the connection between Dev and Stephen?

Both are annoying characters played by terrible actors (sorry, Dev fans grin)

Charleygirl5 Sat 22-Jul-23 09:02:24

I also do not understand the connection between Dev and Stephen, if there is one?
