New New Corrie thread

Snap..... I always say chazza..

Can't beat a good old rummage.

Oh, poor, poor Liam.

Why don’t they move schools or say they will home school him?

Not a real solution, but better than this.

Yes, here too, which is why I found it funny .

I really, really hope that the Liam storyline ends with proper justice being done. It has to give hope to other children going through that, and show that it ends badly for the bullies, even though that's not necessarily true. My heart went out to him tonight, the poor lad. Nobody should have to go through that.

Oops - the first line was in answer to the 'chazza' shop thing - it's used here, too.

I hope that girl doesn’t mess Bobby about but I suspect she will.

I don’t think she will mess him about I think she’s genuinely liking him but somethings sure to go wrong

Never called chazzers here must be a regional name

Who is Lauren’s ex?

Hope it’s not Damon.

We should see when she opens the door!! 😉

The Liam story is so upsetting, and well played too. But I really don't think he'd have taken that puppet into school.

Liam is shaping up to be a very good actor. This is the best storyline he has had in Corrie. I hope it doesn't end up in him taking his own life although in our real world it is increasing amongst bullied youngsters. I think Corrie has handled this really well. I hope the gruesome twosome, making Liam's life a living hell, will get their comeuppance very soon.

Well, he took the puppet in to use the tools in the woodwork room (or CDT as it’s probably called now).

Never any staff around to catch them out when they are carrying out their bullying of course.

Do none of the teachers think Mason is a troublemaker? I can’t believe he has got to Year11 or whatever without causing aggro before now.

Yes, and given that the Head has been informed of the problem, whether or not Maria and Gary have been able to prove it, she should be on the lookout for any problem. They do seem to be unsupervised a lot.

Seems like Mrs Crawshaw (the Head) is the only teacher at the school!

A common happening in Corrie.

Doctor Gaddas, the only GP, Aggie was the only nurse at Weathy General, (no wonder she left, must have been worn out) and of course Craigy the main port of call at the police station for robberies, assaults, murders, car crashes……

No student would be unsupervised in a CDT room. This story is so far removed from how bullying would be treated in a secondary school. Where is the pastoral team? The head certainly wouldn’t just wash their hands of the situation and send parents home.
The writers clearly haven’t been in a school recently, I’m beginning to wonder if they ever have.

😂🤣😅😆

The bullying storyline is far too uncomfortable - not least because the poor boy looks just like my son at that age.

Not looking good for Nick & Leanne is it.
& bored with the hunky footballer story line already.

Remember when Martin Platt qualified as a nurse many years ago? He ran the whole hospital single handedly 🤣🤣

If anybody from the Street was ill or injured Martin was always on duty and they all seemed to get a room to themselves, not on a ward.

Martin Platt- a blast from the past.

Those were the days.

I read an interview recently by Sean Wilson who played Martin Platt. He said he wouldn’t rule out a return to Corrie if invited. However, he was critical of the programme in the same interview and said Corrie has lost its way in recent years.

He went on to be a chef and award winning cheese maker after leaving Corrie.

I don’t think it’s lost its way at all I think that might be sour grapes on his part It s definitely changed and not always for the better but it mirrors real life and that has changed beyond recognition and I think most believe it’s got much worse
Twenty + years ago you wouldn’t have had scenes or conversations about rape or party doping you wouldn’t have had two men talking of getting in the bath together or getting married
We probably wouldn’t have seen young people getting bullied
or a character getting killed because his girlfriend was a goth or the girlfriend changing her mind and drifting from straight to gay ( or should I say queer)
I think Corrie is sometimes a pain but I do think it brings up some good subjects to be watched and discussed and recognised
It has had to change and become more than a joke a caricature of life Life has become much more grim in the last 15 plus years and particularly the last 5

That’s all very accurate BlueBelle.

The only trouble is they seem to leap on any current issues/crisis and bombard them all at once.

But I agree, they have raised some compelling storylines in the past few years, Sinead’s death, Aidan’s suicide, gay relationships and marriage, domestic abuse and control issues…..

That’s when we have seen some great acting performances, alongside others not so good.

Yes I agree. They do seem to jump on every issue going, which leaves viewers ( well, me ) a bit bewildered trying to keep up with it all.
Watching Coronation Street used to be like drinking a nice cup of tea, now it’s like drinking a triple whiskey followed by jäger bombs.
Too much.

Martin always irritated me with his mouth noises. For a young man he sounded like an old grouch most of the time - pfft, chhh, humph, ossshh.
