New New Corrie thread

So bored with the Daisy, Daniel, Ryan love triangle, & with Asha & the goth girl ( can never remember her name )
The abused dog storyline is ridiculous.
& the man who looks like Kenny Rogers ( can never remember his name either ) & the granddaughter- boring! !
It’s really lost any spark lately but I continue to watch every episode religiously

daniel told them about ryan taking steroids

Even so, you would think they would have to go on more than someone coming in and just reporting Ryan.

Anyone could spread lies about someone else, (though I know it’s true in this case).

daniel told them about ryan taking steroids

Ryan has lost his new job because a complete stranger has walked in off the street and told the company detrimental things about him. I thought it might be the videos that Ryan was doing and maybe Daniel had managed to access them somehow while he was in the flat, albeit for a very short time. However, Ryan said he had told them about the videos and they accepted it. What has Daniel told them - and why have they believed him?

Oh, and the Evelyn/ stolen dog storyline is going to be boooring!

Why all this emphasis on ‘bunking off’ school, as though it’s normal and acceptable?

Now the ghastly Cassie is complicit in helping Hope skip school, just because it’s her birthday.

So wrong.

Why hasn’t Simon been involved in a romance?

Probably because he looks a mardy little so-and-so, never seems to do anything much, just stomps around scowling all the time.

😠

Just like his ‘mum’.

Wasn’t his Mum an ex girlfriend of Peter, called Lucy I think. She was very pretty with blonde hair. She already had baby Simon by someone else then she died and he went to Peter.

I may be completely wrong because I am now wondering what happened to his real Dad. 🤔

I meant Leanne when I said mum. I knew she wasn’t his birth mum and didn’t know who his real mum was.

Yes, Simon's casting is very odd. Peter is definitely his dad, and Lucy was fair skinned and blonde. He doesn't get very good storylines. He was involved with the drug dealer (played by Will Mellor) and his gang, but apart from that I don't think he's done much at all.

His real dad is Peter Barlow.

Yes you’re correct. Just been reading up. I was right about the Lucy part. Peter fell for her while he was married to Shelley. They had a bigamous marriage too which I had forgotten about.

I remember a few years ago questions were asked when it was obvious that the actor who played Simon was mixed race. How could a blonde white girl and white Peter produce a mixed race child? Some crazy casting there.

His real dad is Peter Barlow.

And the Simon character is 20.

As I said earlier, he's 22 in real life, with a five year old daughter!

Simon is a very strange edition he looks like no one he doesn’t seem to have grown or changed in the last 5 or more years he seems to have no character neither a man nor a child
How old is he supposed to be in Corrie ?
Yes Ryan’s scar has suddenly paled over night

Yes, Simon's a strange one. He was a cute child, but he hasn't grown into his looks, has he? I thought he was older than 17 (and the actor older than 18) - I'd have put him at nearer 30, although I know he can't be.

I wondered about Ryan's scar, which is almost a character in its own right. I think it was the lighting in the last episode. He rigged up ring lights and so on for his video. They must have been good ones, but I suppose as he's doing it professionally he might have invested in decent lighting, rather than the £5.99 ones from Amazon that people bought in lockdown when we were all doing family quizzes over Zoom. Mine assured me on the box that it would make me look glamorous, but in fact I still looked raddled, only with a squint and reflected circles on my glasses. 😩🤓

I agree about Ryans scar. Last night it could have passed as stubble I thought.

Corrie is like most tv programmes. When it’s good, it’s really good. Maureen Lipman pelting mint imperials at the dog guy yesterday was hilarious.

No, the actor who plays Simon is 22, and also has a five year old daughter!

I guess the Bernie actress wants to be in panto for 6 weeks.

Well I ve answered my own question and googled it he’s 18 in real life and 17 in Corrie and he’s played the part 15 years !!!

Why hasn't Simon been involved in a romance? Every young (ish) street resident has been involved with other residents, but not Simon. I can't remember him having any kind of romance, and he must be twenty at least.

That’s the most interest Daisy has ever shown in Bertie!

Ryan’s scar looks much better.

Sometimes it’s hard to spot it.
