Yes, Corrie Again!

As I said on another thread, I will catch up on some points, since our internet was down big time.

vegansrock on the previous thread said that Corrie has turned into a crime drama. Couldnt agree more.
Gone are the days of a storyline with Chesney and Sophie riding away on Blanche mobility scooter.

Every soap has a family that are alwasy "skint".

Some actors must need 2nd jobs I would think, they are so little used.

For a family who are always skint how come Chesney can afford a car? And why would he have one that wouldn’t fit all the kids in?

There is a lot of emphasis on Chesney's dire financial situation. I never had Les Battersby down as well off but is Chesney about to be thrown a lifeline in Les's Will?

What was Leanne doing with Toyah’s passport?

I think that she is opening a bank account, no idea why though

She is up to no good with it for sure. My passport is not in some random box in someone else’s flat.

What was Leanne doing with Toyah’s passport?

Did anyone else think, like me, that the scene with Nick and Leanne, in the flat, they were both trying not to laugh at the tripe that poor Leanne was forced to say, and when she leaned in and kissed Nick?

I think they were both playing it for laughs.

What punishment did Rowan get? Did they ever say?

The allegations against Ken and also Kevin (forget actors names) were also dropped and they came back to Corrie

Seems a shame that Corrie sacked him before the police found there was no case to answer. I suppose, these days, any company or organisation finding out this information are between a rock and a hard place. Do they presume innocence before being found guilty or wash their hands of it all. Keep them or sack them? Damned if they do and damned if they don't.

One of my friends fell and hit the back of her head on the kerb. I was shocked by how aggressively they shaved her head at the hospital - just for a few stitches!

I thought I saw a wee bandage peeping out from the back of Carla's hair when she stood at the sink last night.

Don’t think Davina was going home virtually the next day though Kate, and Carla’s priority seemed to be her on/off relationship with Lisa.

Not much thought given to recuperating.

Davina McCall has just had brain surgery. She posted on social media afterwards and her hair looked fine too.

Have just read about another topical but grim storyline coming up for one resident.

I’ll say no more as it would be a ‘spoiler’.

But depressing.

It’s so she can start stomping about again!

She’s made a very quick recovery. The brain surgery will now be completely forgotten and never mentioned again like the various transplants, amputations etc that have happened on the street. I’m not sure why Leanne is so bitter about Nick and Toyah, since she had broken up with him .

Well, Carla’s hair looks fine.

No evidence of her brain surgery.

They all seem to have cars as is usual these days, but I often wonder ^where do they keep them? ^

Someone will say 'I'll get my car.' As you say, where are they? Some time ago there was a storyline about parking, and the street was full of cars - as every Victorian terrace without off road parking would be - but suddenly they were gone again. If the road were full of cars,both sides, it would compromise filming, as any outdoor shots would mostly be waist up only!

The curling wallpaper is where it meets the shelf at the window.

I have also missed that.

Sorry BlueBell I am never 100% certain whether a person is serious or joking.

I will look out for the curling wallpaper!

I have started to watch Eastenders, at least the storylines are joined up. I still watch corrie hoping for improvement

I feel very sorry for them because few are now salaried. Most are paid per appearance.

Apparently they are paid now for each appearance, which vary according to the storylines, maybe just a few a year, maybe every week! I do know that many actors would give anything to be part of the cast, though, so I don't feel sorry for them.
