Surely Leanne couldn’t have expected to get away with blaming ‘the brakes’?

Kevin would have said if they were an issue.

Much preferred Bobby when he was being serious, not acting like some third-rate stand up comic.

Primrose if you look at photos when he joined Corrie as a small lad he was very very definitely mixed race They couldn’t have not known 🤣

I quite warmed to Bobby tonight

CoolCoco Tue 13-Feb-24 19:10:07

You can be English, born in Blackburn and be non white * lemsip*.

BlueBelle Tue 13-Feb-24 19:13:34

……And have a British name 😂

Whatever his heritage, he's a funny looking chap, and more importantly he's not a great actor. I wish him luck in whatever he goes on to do - it must be difficult going into 'real life' after being in regular well-paid work for so long. It often doesn't work out for young actors who try to make it after leaving soaps, and many of them struggle.

Here is “Simon” with his parents. I wonder why they chose a mixed race child to play “Simon” when his TV Mum Lucy was very pale skinned and blonde and Peter was white although slightly darker skinned.

Oh, poor Liam!

Those horrible boys!

Why on earth doesn’t he tell Maria and Gary what’s going on?

Calendargirl Tue 13-Feb-24 21:00:35

And Billy was wrong telling Summer she shouldn’t go on the USA study course.

Not up to him what she decides to do.

Serendipity22 Tue 13-Feb-24 21:10:07

Whoaaaa Corrie tonight 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪 (( Billy and Paul))

Those bullies with poor Liam. 😔

BlueBelle Tue 13-Feb-24 21:30:31

Thanks Primrose that the photo was trying to reproduce
I thought it was Rishi s father 🤣🤣🤣

nanaK54 Tue 13-Feb-24 22:08:38

That was all too much. I am hoping that George has Mason's number and will be able to do something to help poor Liam.

Yes, George seems to have his eye on things. I hope he saves the day soon.

It was an upsetting episode all round, really.

Calendargirl Wed 14-Feb-24 07:23:11

I’ve thought up to now Mason’s acting has been like a caricature of a bully boy, but this episode seemed very real. Mocking him about his ‘dolly’, with his mates smirking away, so cruel but so accurate, sadly.

BlueBelle Wed 14-Feb-24 07:26:31

However sad it is, its real life and hundreds of kids are going through this so I think Corrie is doing a good job to bring it to the fore in a very realistic way

Primrose53 Wed 14-Feb-24 09:02:11

I thought the lad who played Liam played it very well. I just hope it stops soon as it is very uncomfortable to watch.

I remember George saying he was bullied at school so I am hoping he will catch those horrible boys in the act and put an end to this.

Beechnut Wed 14-Feb-24 16:12:16

Did I hear right last night that the old ‘friend’ chap in the bistro call Paul, Paul Winter ?

Doodledog Wed 14-Feb-24 16:39:37

Yes, he did. It crossed my mind in the way these things do that his mum must be Bernie Winter, which amused me for half a second. Based on that fascinating fact I can confirm that we heard the same thing though smile)

BlueBelle Wed 14-Feb-24 16:44:32

Lauren would never fancy Bobby in a million years
Are you still sure coolcoco ???

nanaK54 Wed 14-Feb-24 17:29:21

I am really enjoying the blossoming romance between Bobby and Lauren, makes for light relief. Also enjoy Bobby's interactions with Evelyn.

Doodledog Wed 14-Feb-24 18:31:00

Yes, the 'Mrs P' and 'chazza shop' lines were funny.

The writing has been better in the last couple of episodes, which is good. I'm pleased there has been something to lighten the more distressing storylines.

We’ve said chazzas for years over here. 😉
