A thousand posts! How time flies grin

Post your moans, praise and observations about life on the cobbles on this shiny new thread.

Could Adam be any more unprofessional?

The judge’s wig looked very odd, as though it was just about to topple off.

Poor Roy, another guest of His Majesty’s pleasure.

Doodledog Mon 15-Apr-24 20:46:17

Is he going to run into Harvey?

Poor Roy. And I don't blame Alya for resigning. Adam is dreadful these days, isn't he?

Charleygirl5 Mon 15-Apr-24 22:49:01

I hope Roy is not going to be in prison for months. That may happen knowing how these storylines drag on.

Adam does not generate much work- he is more interested in his sex life than earning enough money to pay the rent.

For the Police to charge Roy with Lauren's murder they would need a huge amount of forensic evidence to link him to the crime, particularly as they have not found her body. However, Roy doesn't help himself and he is clearly on the spectrum. He has no social filter so he attends Lauren's vigil, clears up the bat site and invites a total stranger who he believes is Lauren's Mum to stay overnight. Bobby is now spinning lies to the Police. What is his game? I think he may know more than he is letting on.

Yes, Bobby lying about a non existent balaclavad man is hardly going to help catch Lauren’s abducter/ murderer.

What an idiot.

Plus Lauren will turn up again, I’m sure.

Already wearying of yet another daft storyline.

How has Sean suddenly been able to afford to move, even to a grotty flat?

Don’t like Eileen much now. Always seems miserable. And never has any sort of storyline.

BlueBelle Wed 17-Apr-24 21:55:49

I think I must have missed something when did Sean decide to leave Eileen’s
At least Adams hair has improved tonight

LovesBach Wed 17-Apr-24 22:40:04

Eileen looks ill - she seems to deliver her lines mechanically, and whenever she is shown at home, she is almost always sitting down.

Charleygirl5 Wed 17-Apr-24 22:54:06

Eileen has lost so much weight I hardly recognise her now.

Considering most of them are on the minimum wage they have sufficient to spend in the cafe, Bistro and the pub.

I have read Roy will be exiting for good, I hope not.

vegansrock Thu 18-Apr-24 06:46:46

Alya was a trainee assistant, now she’s suddenly got a plum job - if she was so good why did she leave the filing in such a mess?

Calendargirl Thu 18-Apr-24 06:54:51

Eileen hasn’t been the same since she was on I’m A Celebrity….

I’m all for losing a bit of excess weight, but somehow her weight loss and hairstyle don’t look right, I don’t know why.

Yes BlueBelle, I also thought I missed an episode when Sean decided to move out!

Aveline Thu 18-Apr-24 07:10:22

Sean seems to have moved into Ahdi's old flat previously occupied by that lady with MND. Not a lucky venue!

Kandinsky Thu 18-Apr-24 07:31:08

I’m not sure why Eileen is In coronation St anymore? She hasn’t featured in any main storyline for ages, and just pops up now and then to say a few lines. She looks seriously bored and fed up. I know she was never a ‘happy’ character, but she just looks like she’d rather be anywhere else.
Her new look isn’t helping as she’s the same miserable Eileen - just skinny with a new haircut.

Calendargirl Thu 18-Apr-24 07:44:49

Wonder if being on IAC has made Eileen dissatisfied with her Corrie role, but sticks with it for the regular money, whilst keeping a look out for better prospects?

vegansrock Thu 18-Apr-24 08:02:12

I’ve read that Eileen is leaving the street going to Thailand , no doubt in a taxi at the last minute. She went off for ages quite recently.

Calendargirl Thu 18-Apr-24 10:58:42

Well, her last exit would be for IAC.

lemsip Thu 18-Apr-24 14:13:43

Wendi Peters has left 'Doctors ' on screen today so will be back in corrie soon.

Doodledog Thu 18-Apr-24 21:51:14

I used to like Eileen. She was a credible character with a sense of humour and a stoical attitude. Lately she does seem jaded, I agree. She used to be a matriarch who opened her doors to everyone because she cared, but she just seems fed up all the time. I hope the actress isn't ill, and it would be good if she could get some decent storylines and get the character back on track.

I really hope Roy doesn't go. The actor might be ready to retire though - he's never seemed young, and he's been there forever. The street wouldn't be the same without him.

Clawdy Thu 18-Apr-24 23:07:50

Eileen is touring at the moment playing a leading role in Sister Act. Bet she's enjoying the break from Corrie!

Charleygirl5 Thu 18-Apr-24 23:15:52

Roy I believe is around the age of 74. I would not like to see him leave- he seems to have been there forever.

ITV want to save money. A few of the actors are salaried but most are paid whenever they appear. We will see fewer people in the pub, cafe and the Bistro for that reason fairly soon.

Calendargirl Fri 19-Apr-24 20:28:36

Sam’s new chess opponent looked and sounded just like him!

Calendargirl Sat 20-Apr-24 07:40:02

Not a very interesting episode last night.

Mouseybrown60 Sat 20-Apr-24 13:43:36

I think that romance is on the cards for Adam and Alya!

LovesBach Sat 20-Apr-24 14:55:01

I thought that too, but surely she will be going on a trip, or just disappearing as some characters do for months, as her baby must be due very soon. Perhaps when she returns?

Aveline Sat 20-Apr-24 17:55:23

Maybe Alya will be off to Norfolk to check on that supplier that Fizz just left.
