The old one is getting full, so here’s a nice shiny new one.

Where is Lauren? What is Dee Dee’s chap up to? Is Kit a villainous baddie or a force for good? Do we care?

Post your predictions and observations here (no spoilers please).

Quite a few are on the way out, Gail, Stu, Paul, Joel, Leanne but I think she will be back, Sam ditto to name some. I would add Cassie to that list.

I think David is looking so unkempt at present. A bath or shower and shaving his beard would not go amiss.

Is Roy returning? Audrey and Rita are getting on a bit in age.

I thought about Dev sodapop but didn’t name him as I know he has some fans on this thread!

But yes, his daft way of speaking….

Am sure he didn’t talk like that years ago.

Definitely Dev Calendargirl with his silly way of speaking.

Wish we could see more of Mary & Brian, I think they make a great partnership.

His acting wasn’t up to scratch

Quite a few Corrie actors have the same problem.

Nurse Aggie, (thankfully gone), Ed Bailey, Jack Webster, even Steve McDonald just gurns away most of the time, but I think he has improved a bit lately.

There must be more, but can’t recall at the minute.

His acting wasn't up to scratch.
He was called in to a meeting then it was announced he had left for personal reasons.

Doodledog Sat 17-Aug-24 14:02:08

Ah, that's possible, too. 'Humph, pfffffft, tshhhh' probably grin

Or they found a tweet he wrote in 2014 or something?

Doodledog Sat 17-Aug-24 11:14:18

Martin Platt always irritated me. When he was last in it he was a relatively young man, and he humphed and phuffed and pshhed like an old codger - it was constant. His character was ok - it was the actor who played him that way.

The report I read said he'd pulled out for personal reasons. I think he'd been angling to get back in for some time, so that seems odd. Maybe he's ill - I hope not.

Grannynannywanny Sat 17-Aug-24 10:32:35

I forgot he’d bought Gemma and Chesney’s house Calendargirl. Maybe it’s my poor memory rather than missing an episode!

Just been reading that the actor who played Martin Platt has been dropped and they are now scrambling to rewrite Gail’s departure.

He had filmed several episodes since July and nobody knows why he has been dropped.

Oh, hadn’t seen that. I assumed Martin was going to reappear, he and Gail would reunite and disappear into the sunset in Cheshire or possibly Thailand.

❤️

Shame.

sad

I feel like I’ve missed an episode. Why has Kit moved into the Rovers? Is his nice looking house now lying empty?

He’ll surely be up to mischief and cause trouble between Daisy and Ryan. If Daisy’s not interested there’s always Jenny.

Can’t really recall why he’s moved into Glenda’s old room at the Rovers. Has he sold the flat where he lived and just looking around for his next place?

I assumed the nice house he was living in when Bernie first traced him belonged to his adoptive parents. Has he still got a dad?

Seeing as he’s bought Gemma’s house, I assume his inheritance from his recently deceased mum has been released in double quick time, unlike real life.

Clawdy Sat 17-Aug-24 10:07:57

I saw that too, really odd. Presume eventually the full story will come out.

I think you mean Joel sarnia, I don’t think DS Swain or DeeDee believe him. Why didn’t DeeDee go into the bedroom in the flat? Surely she would have found more evidence there.
BTW, DeeDee seems to have quite an extensive wardrobe, she hardly ever wears the same outfit twice.

Calendargirl Sat 17-Aug-24 07:31:20

If I were Dee Dee, I would be asking who the tenant is and expecting an answer.

Plus if money is so ‘tight’, with the divorce and everything, I wouldn’t be expecting a fancy honeymoon and we wouldn’t be having takeaways and drinking in the Rovers every touch and turn.

I hope Daisy doesn’t turn her attentions to Kit.

The difference in their height looked comical.

Ryan’s scars look much better.

Sarnia Sat 17-Aug-24 06:13:45

It looks like the net is tightening around Josh.

Shona! Just dredged it up from the dregs of my memory. Anyway, she's wearing the dog on her head.

Aveline Thu 15-Aug-24 16:05:31

It's worn on what's her name, David's wife these days!

Calendargirl Thu 15-Aug-24 15:55:27

Oh, come on. I distinctly remember Cassie saying she had helped Ken get ready for bed, or words to that effect. 🛏️

Plus she had accompanied him to the concert. 🎼

Has he always listened to so much classical music?

I think Cassie will have Ken walking up the aisle if he isn’t careful! ❤️

P.S.
(You never see David’s dog now, do you?)

…and break mugs

vegansrock Wed 14-Aug-24 21:29:27

Great carers job - all she has to do is make cups of tea and sit and drink it!

vegansrock Wed 14-Aug-24 21:28:30

Wonder how Cassie plans to get her hands on Ken’s money!

Beechnut Wed 14-Aug-24 21:12:22

He doesn’t know it yet but it looks like Ken has a new ‘best friend’!
