New thread.

Why on earth was Lauren doing her nails when she was meant to be working?

That and her rude, mardy attitude would mean the sack, I would have thought.

And of course, as pointed out so many times, Frankie never seems to be mentioned nowadays.

So much for being such a devoted mother.

Didn’t Debbie do well? her acting was superb tonight

Grannynannywanny Wed 04-Feb-26 21:40:59

Poor Debbie. That was a heart wrenching performance. I wonder if Carl will quickly come round to the idea of being Debbie’s son when he thinks of his inheritance.

Oh poor, poor Debbie that was heart breaking sad

I saw East is east a looong time ago but I can’t remember him
I ll have to re look

I think he was a cousin who owned/managed a cinema.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but please, no spoilers 😊. It can ruin the experience of watching if we know things like that in advance of it happening on screen.

EllieAnne Sun 01-Feb-26 16:28:27

I’ve just read that cassie is leaving. So pleased. I’ve never liked her.

Aveline Sun 01-Feb-26 16:06:56

He has an extensive 'filmography' as it's called in Wikipedia. I'd have cut and pasted it here but it was too long. I first noticed him in 'Medics'.

He was in East is East, I think. Basically playing the Dev we all know, and (some of us) love😀.

I’ve just looked it up.

‘East Is East’ was 1999.

Has Dev done nothing else, apart from Corrie, in the last 26 years?

Hmm, I wonder why?🤷‍♀️

confused

Dev is quite cute but cannot act for toffee it’s not just bad lines he gets, it’s his desperately poor acting skills, he puts the emphasise of words all in the wrong places. He’s a nice looking guy though and aging well but I want to shake him when he gets the hard and soft bits of words all the wrong way round.
No I ve never seen him in anything else do you mean anyone other than Corrie pays him to get it so wrong 🤣🤣🤣

Doodledog and Aveline.

That photo just makes Dev look more manic than usual, if that’s possible.

😂

It was specially chosen 🤫

Aveline Sun 01-Feb-26 10:58:23

Of course he can act. You just don't like his character. Have you seen him in other roles? He's quite different.

Charleygirl5 Sun 01-Feb-26 10:17:26

Sorry Aveline I am aware he is the love of your life, but he can't act and I can't stand him.

I really don’t think we need yet another baby brought into Corrie.

In the last year or so we’ve had Lauren’s Frankie, Dee Dee’s Laila, and now this baby of Meghan’s.

Plus Daisy, who I think lost a baby, and Fiz who had an abortion.

Too many.

Also Shona's whose name I have forgotten.
It draws the viewers.

Aveline Sat 31-Jan-26 19:23:11

Thank you so much! Be still my beating heart.♥️

I'm stung by your comments Doodledog. I don't think he's bad actor. He's just doing what the writers want him too. He's still gorgeous though. I've gone back on him. I forgave him for being mean to Adhi.

Sorry, Aveline. I always feel as though I should put caveats on anything critical of Dev grin.

Here he is, looking gorgeous - just for you.

Llamedos13 Sat 31-Jan-26 17:38:46

Aveline, Your defence of Dev always makes me chuckle.🤣

I think the Bernie character has grown into herself recently. I’m not convinced by the raver side of her that keeps resurfacing, but she’s a lot more three dimensional than she used to be. She’s got so much to deal with. She realises she was an unfit mother, has lost her son, was rejected by Kit and now her lovely SIL has gone, too. She is trying to make up for being hopeless in the past, but needs to look out for herself as well as others, I think. Maybe not by dropping Es and picking up miscellaneous electricians though grin.

Dev was verging on bullying her. I know he was trying to help, but he was the same with Asha. He is so sure he’s right and just browbeats people into submission. He’s such a dreadful actor that it’s hard to know what is bad acting and what is his overbearing character though.

Calendargirl Sat 31-Jan-26 10:23:41

I don’t like Bernie.

Will Dev dump her?

Mal looks more her type.

Hope they both leave.
