New New Corrie thread

The quads are remarkably well behaved, can't imagine 4 toddlers sitting down together and eating so well.

Hahahahahahaha.

As i understand it, Gemma's make up is in line with her character...

It is in line with her character...it is also in line with her chin

I cant proclaim to be an expert on Paul's flat but which door did his mum open to take her important phone call? To me it looked like a brown door
I never knew existed before!!!!! ( in the same place the window is meant to be, by the dinning table.)

😕 😕 😕

Cor....!

Oh well - 'Dev's acting is dreadful tonight, Aveline! nudge nudge .

Dev's acting is what endears him to me!
Gemma's make up is exactly how she would do it - it's absolutely in character.
I once saw a well known Scottish politician and her thick make up ended under her chin too. It was so funny.

Dev's acting tonight is truly dreadful (sorry, Aveline).

Whoever did Gemma’s makeup should be sacked. She has a pinky/brown face and a white neck and throat.

I hope Moses tells Todd he isn’t gay. There are now too many gay people on’t Street.

I sometimes think Connie and Trevor are more entertaining than Corrie

Love Connie and Trevor. Bought a Trevor at Argos for a laugh but his mouth doesn’t open like on TV and the voice was too quiet. I thought I’m not having that” so back he went. 😉

Ahh sara I really like Stu think he’s lovely and much too good for Yazmeeeeeen

I had a soft spot for the meerkats, too ).

I hope Mason gets his comeuppance in tonight's episode - I think this story has gone on long enough.

Connie and Trevor are awful. Bring back the meerkats. They were lovely.

We still watch it, but we’re always a few weeks behind, and I’m only ever half watching.
Something has gone wrong, I agree about the gangsters, really don’t need all that, and let’s be honest, it’s not real life for most of us.
The gambling storyline, the Rovers storyline, the sudden turning up of Carla’s nephew, all a bit far fetched. I love Evelyn and Roy, Mary, Steve and Tracey, David and Shona and Amy, but we don’t see enough of these characters.
Oh and another storyline I’m fine tedious is Stu/Eliza I can’t stand Stu, and I can’t see where it’s going, just fizzle out I suppose.

Where’s Linda’s huge fridge gone? Is it up in the quads bedroom?

I thought Kirk had been drafted in to move the fridge somewhere in the kitchen? Must have been heavy on his own, but after a cup of tea or similar he seemed to be up for it.

(I mis-read the original OP, and thought it said ‘Linda’s fringe)

I sat there puzzling about this huge fringe that I’d never noticed before!

Aveline

Oh. I'm a plain Jane. Can I have a job in Corrie? Maybe in Dev's shop...

Oh, if the scriptwriters get in touch and offer me a job I’ll sort that out immediately, Aveline .

Aveline I could not spend 5 minutes near Dev as I would be pointing out the (many) errors of his ways. I cannot stand the sight of him because of his ridiculous overacting.

I cannot see Simon or Beth being headhunted for other acting jobs. Both will be facing the real world soon and waiting at tables to make some money. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Now that was ridiculous. How Linda didn't realise that that massive fridge wouldn't fit in Gemma's tiny kitchen is beyond me. Anyone with working eyes would have known that.

I don't like gangster stories in soaps. Eastenders has those too, and IMO they spoil things. Soaps are (or should be) domestic dramas, not about organised crime. A bit of shoplifting or similar is probably realistic, but how many of us has ever known people with guns in safes, or lock-ups full of stolen goods? Or have I just led a sheltered life?

I have a soft spot for Gemma, but agree that whoever thought of her having quads was having a bad day. They live in a small house, there is nowhere for them all to sleep, they are too young to be left alone, yet you rarely see all of them together, and as the actors get older the logistics will get worse.

Moses is good-looking, I think, but I don't think that soap characters should all be as glamorous as they are now. Ordinary people (specially young ones) need to see normal-looking people represented - there are enough problems with body image issues as it is. All the young women are like models - Sarah, Maria, Abi, Bethany, Carla, Amy, Asha - they all look great on screen, and the others, Fiz, Gemma, Eileen, Sally, Leanne, Toyah scrub up well for awards ceremonies and the like. Eastenders is the same. We need more plain Janes, I think.

They really need to keep Roy and Evelyn in it though, and give comic lines to more characters. It used to be very funny at times. There is less pathos now, too. People like Fred and his eternal quest for the right woman, or Emily's loneliness and regret at not having children were touching. Now it's very 'black and white', and suffers for it, I think. And as I keep saying - they need to bring in all the characters more, instead of so many small-cast stories.

Any producers reading this should feel free to make contact - I am happy to give further advice for a large fee .

Coronation street really has lost its way.
If it wasn’t for Maureen Lipman I’d stop watching.

Too many gay sex scenes.
Too much time spent on child bullying stories.
Too much time spent on gangster stories.
Too many bad actors ( Gemma, the entire Bailey family ) apart from the mum who seems to have left anyway.

It needs a complete overhaul or it’s in danger of being axed.
Viewing figures for all soaps seem to go down every year - and coronation street is coming off the worst.

I largely agree[dont mind Gemma[though quads is ridiculous]]. And with Dorsetcupcakes 63 - not enough characters I am interested in.

I start whizzing through[havent seen Max cut hair].
When it gets to a point of too much whizz, I stop watching. Sometimes for months.

And the fuss they’re all making over Moses?
Men and women throwing themselves at his feet?
Absolutely ridiculous.
He’s a bog standard looking person.

Ronnie is an okay actor yes, ( forgot about him ) but he’s not good looking sorry
