New New Corrie thread

Why does Maria still call herself Connor?

Did she and Gary actually get married?

( I realise of course that many women keep their own names)

The lad who plays Liam should get an award. Brilliant acting tonight. 👏👏

Liam and Maria’s acting so good, really felt they were distraught mum and son.

It was heartbreaking, wasn’t it?

It was heartbreaking, wasn’t it?

It really was...
I could cheerfully slap Mrs Crawshaw!
(reminder to self - it's only a story)

Is Gail now wearing a wig? I know she's always had amazingly thick hair, but it now looks different.

Gail gets more irritating every episode. She's the mother from Hell (and always was), and her simpering, eyelash fluttering and intense gaze would induce murderous thoughts in the Dalai Lama.

I thought Bobby's line tonight was brilliant when Lauren snapped at him in cafe and he said "Service with a snarl." 😂🤣😅

Talking of Lauren, I'm fed up of the storyline dragging on and on and on of whatever forces the deadpan look to emerge on her face.

Right now we cone to Gail Platt, McIntyre, Tilsley or whatever the heck she's called, she does my flippin nut in, I feel the hairs standing up on the back of my neck that I never knew existed ... ( 🤣😅😆)

Yes, I love Corrie ..

Lauren’s ‘client’ is clearly a Street character.
Dee Dees dodgy boyfriend maybe?

well tracy should have made sure the window cleaner wasn't coming before she went upstairs with the painter!.

poor dee dee... he has a wife and child. separated though.

I doubt that how dirty her windows were was on her mind at the time .

Dylan's resolve didn't last long, did it?

Corrie's Maureen Lipman slams ITV soap and insists current storylines must be ditched
she says it needs to return to it's rootsLipman is really happy that her character Evelyn in Coronation Street reminds people of the strong women from the show's past. She also loves that she's keeping up the work of her late husband Jack Rosenthal, who was one of the first to write for the ITV soap.

Which storylines does she want to see ditched?

Kandinsky

I wondered about Darren, is he called?
Sarah's boyfriend?

Well, I hope it’s not Damon.

Have seen speculation it’s that chap who groomed Bethany when she was younger whilst being her boyfriend. (Nathan?)

I don’t think. It will be Damon. Nathan is possible, but would he return to Wetherfield? I assume he’s been in jail? You’d think he’d lie low if he’s been released.
I think it will be someone we ‘know’ though.

Surely not Damon I thought it would be one of the men in her dads racist group
Funny Maureen Lipman is speaking out against her own show
I think it’s needs characters like her but I don’t want it to go back to the old fashioned version that’s was fine in its day but the worlds a different place now and it has to keep up

Yes, it's not very professional of her. It's happened before with older characters - Norris and Percy both said they were leaving as the show had got too modern for them. I agree with you that it has to move with the times if it is to survive. I just wish they would have more stories going on at once like they used to.

Did anyone see the report that soaps could be written by AI within 5 years? I saw the headline but didn't read the article. It's an interesting thought.

I have to say I am warming to Bobby more now. He has stopped trying to be a comedian and become an actor. A great improvement.

I totally agree sodapop I rather like him now he’s played a lovely part with Lauren and comes across as very real

I think the Tracy/ Tommy affair is quite amusing .

I still don’t think Lauren would fancy Bobby.

I agree but it is now over.

I was horrified to hear that the bullying story was going on until the end of the year. Far too long in my opinion.

Naturally woman's football takes precedence over "our" programme.

Even "womens"

Oh no, not again😡.
