A thousand posts! How time flies grin

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

The Scottish businessman was another murderer wasn’t he? Bodies hidden at the factory in a trunk or similar. It was a good gripping storyline though, unlike now.

I assume her council work is unpaid, at least it is in our town if you’re ’on the council’.

an intense corrie episode tonight for a change. daisy and daniel sorting out her sleeping with ryan.

tyron, evelyn very good .

I’m wondering if Stu and Yasmeen will turn up for the concert and when the curtains open there will be no Eliza. Just like that scene from the Sound of Music.

She’ll be on her way to the airport with her dad on a one way ticket to Germany. Stu can kiss goodbye to his granddaughter and his £10k.

Good thinking. I can't see this storyline ending well.

Calendargirl Thu 14-Dec-23 07:22:13

Being picky.

How on earth did Daniel think he and Daisy would suddenly turn the Rovers into a profit making venture, seeing as Jenny and the brewery had failed? I suppose if he were still teaching, they would have a regular salary though. And Ken delighted at the idea! I would have been horrified at the thought of him chucking away his inheritance.

Fed up with all this. Wish Daisy would make up her silly little mind about her love life.

And the stolen dog story, equally annoying.

At least we are having a break from the Mason/Dylan/Liam bullying triangle, and Ed’s gambling woes, plus the old grandad wanting the loan.

David and Shona have the best lines and relationship, they save the programme.

Pretty sure Eliza’s dad will be using the money to take Eliza away ‘on an adventure’ of some sort never to be seen again

David’s hair has taken over from Ryan’s scar and has a total life of its own at last Adams hair looks more normal

Daniel showing his aggressive side - hopefully he can see Daisy is rather shallow. I think he’l together with Bethany again( I read she and Damon are coming back) should stir it up a bit.

Doodledog Thu 14-Dec-23 08:30:04

Daniel has 'lost the plot' before, I think. Did he smash up his mother's house once?

Grannynannywanny Thu 14-Dec-23 08:36:05

I think Daniel and Daisy are the most mismatched couple in the history of Corrie. They were never right together.

Same as him and Sinead! Daniel was always on about books, theatre, writers and poor old Sinead could barely string a sensible sentence together.

Grannynannywanny Thu 14-Dec-23 09:07:03

I’ve never taken to Daisy’s character. All that nonsense with her “socials” and mooching online for freebies for the wedding drove me to distraction.

Soaps never seem to recognise that the UK is a class-bound society, and sacrifice realism to keeping to the salary budget.

Ken and Deirdre, Daniel and everyone, Mike and Linda, Sean and the dentist, Kat Slater and Doctor Truman in Eastenders, the list goes on. Yes, of course in 'real life' there are couples from different backgrounds who have successful relationships, but they have to have something in common to make it work.

In Soapland it seems as though everyone just settles for staying within the pool of very local people of roughly the same age, regardless of the fact that they are very different people.

Clawdy Thu 14-Dec-23 17:38:31

Who were Mike and Linda?

Beechnut Thu 14-Dec-23 17:44:11

Mike Baldwin and one of many women 🤣

Doodledog Thu 14-Dec-23 17:58:29

Linda was a machinist in Mike's knicker factory - the precursor to Underworld.

She used to make laugh when she rolled her own cigs. 🤣

Liam is Maria's son who is being bullied at the moment. Her husband before Gary was a Connor. Can't remember his name but he was good looking.

I thought David did a good impression of Canadian Stephen last night.

Calendargirl Fri 15-Dec-23 07:23:49

He was Liam as well, hence the son having the same name. Went on to be Mr Barrow in Downton Abbey.

Yes, David is worth his weight in gold, a rose amongst thorns in the acting ability of so many of the cast.

Crikey, £6.95 for the poshest chocolates in the Kabin!

Don’t think that would hardly buy Dairy Box/Milk Tray round here!

maddyone Fri 15-Dec-23 23:07:44

I thought that too Calendargirl. I thought ‘crikey, that wouldn’t buy me my favourite Hotel Chocolates.’

maddyone Fri 15-Dec-23 23:08:49

Sorry, Hotel Chocolats.

Adam’s hair looks more normal

Whatever normal is for Adam.

Still looks weird. Either plastered greasily to his head, sticking up, proper ‘bedroom’ hair, or looking like he’s been plugged into the electrical socket.

Grannynannywanny Sat 16-Dec-23 08:00:41

I think Adam tends to look like he’s rolled out of bed and turned up on set without looking in the mirror. Whatever happened to Mary’s motor home? I suspect it’s parked round the corner and Adam sleeps in it between scenes 😆

Ha ha just what I said to OH!! 🤣

Where did Daisy get the keys from, I missed that?

I see Reece Dinsdale is directing some episodes of Corrie.

He played one of Gail’s deceased husbands, Joe McIntyre.
