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

Calendargirl Mon 12-Feb-24 21:00:44

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.

Doodledog 'That's the badger' made me chuckle - have never heard that expression before, but will certainly use it now grin

Doodledog Mon 12-Feb-24 11:54:52

Harvey - that's the badger! I agree it's probably unlikely, but I'm never convinced by all the criminal characters in soaps. Les Battersby fiddling the 'leccy, or Big Mo fencing knock offs with Big Elvis is quite believable, but actual gangsters and people setting fire to various premises always seems a step too far.

Obviously criminal lawyers come into contact with more 'baddies' than most, but even so, in Soapland they all seem to get dragged into unlikely scenarios with unlikely regularity.

Clawdy Mon 12-Feb-24 11:39:22

Surely not two solicitors on the street getting involved with the dreaded Harvey! I wondered if the woman he's trying to avoid is his wife......

What is Deedee’s boyfriend ( can’t remember name) hiding?

I don't know, but he's clearly up to no good. Is he involved with the Will Mellor character, whose name I can never remember? The one in jail?

Well I’ve never worked out why they picked a mixed race kid to be the child of two white patents ( he was a very cute looking little kid I looked a picture of him up ) but he’s an awful actor and never seems to have gone past looking 12 I m glad he’s going which sounds horrible
Iv never seen him in anything else

I don’t think they realised he was mixed race at the time.

Calendargirl Mon 12-Feb-24 07:08:15

Yes, Simon was a very cute kid. Unfortunately didn’t transcend as he grew up. Short, stomps around, looks as mardy as can be all the time, and he’s never seemed to have done anything notable, apart from being a pain in the backside.

I hope somehow Peter gets in touch and is able to get him some job on board the boat, scrubbing the deck, walking the plank, anything to see the back of him.

Simon does my head in as well..

I can't absorb myself in his character because I'm that engrossed in him, the actor, full stop.

I have to question my reasoning for watching it !!!! 😅

Simon is meant to be leaving the cobbles anyway.

BlueBelle Sun 11-Feb-24 21:43:58

I can’t take Simon seriously he looks about 12

Primrose53 Sun 11-Feb-24 21:31:49

Leanne should have told Nick the truth.

BlueBelle Sun 11-Feb-24 21:31:06

Completely forgot am trying to catch up !!! Bloody football

Calendargirl Sun 11-Feb-24 21:15:37

Not surprised Simon crashed the car. He looked like a 5 year old driving it, could hardly see over the steering wheel.

Serendipity22 Sun 11-Feb-24 20:48:24

Hasnt finished yet and I am 😤 with Lauren. What's with the "keep thy gob shut" expression!

Why do others think is behind the 'clammed up' expression coz I sure as heck don't know 🤔
