Coronation St

boris1gary — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 03:20:52 GMT

am, well Ken on Corro is a bit of soft lefty type, in real life he is an ardent Tory supporter, has done ads and all. How silly is Tina being at the moment, can't help feeling a little sorry for carla.

The Tina story line is silly imo especially as she is friendly with Carla.. they could have introduced a random actress to tempt Peter Barlow.

Sally's husband is due back in March (he was suspended when charged, now that he wasn't found guilty, he will be back in the show). End of Tim?

Hayley's storyline was sad.

Hayley's story is sad, I'll probably get a little teary when she dies. I don't know why they decided to make Tina turn like that, it seems out of character. Can't make up my mind about Sallys bloke, he is a bit dodgy, but then so was Kevin.

I am a bit ahead of you then.. Hayley is gone.... I watch the UK shows the day after they air.

Tim is so lazy.. Sally runs around after him.

i only watch it on the UK channel, emmerdale, corro and eastenders. This week there is going to be 2 corro everynight, hubby is english and he says that they are all doom and gloom - dire enders haha.

Rita is one of my favourites, such a glamour and i like Fizz, nice that she hasn't gone orange like a lot of the others.

Re: Coronation St

cherry*135 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 06:32:51 GMT

Most of my rellies don't watch it anymore. I still enjoy it.

Rita is glamorous, Dennis the next one to play up though (hasn't happened yet).

Discovered joys of Corrie about a year ago when started watching episodes from 2007 on channel 7TWO. Such a fave, seriously considering Foxtel which is where I assume everyone is getting the latest eps?

Just to clarify, on 7Two we are up to Ed confessing to being Emily's hubby's killer & Tracy has left Amy with Ken, Deidre & Nan to move in with Charlie Stubbs. So much to go, will I EVER catch up?

That is a loong time ago. I watch it online, not always easy as episodes are copyrighted and noone has permission to post them online...so if they do, they get removed frequently.

I didn't know it was on 7TWO, must take a look sometime.

sheepy you are way behind, thats OK, more to look forward to, I am behind am.

am, does dennis get with gloria - such a judgemental sod that one (gloria i mean),

leanne is really annoying, for a retired prozzy she has certainly become Mrs Self Righteous. I hope Dev gets a happy storyline soon.

Re: Coronation St

sheedydog — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 06:53:22 GMT

Oooooh was this before Leanne moved in with Danny following the Frankie & Jamie debacle?

Also does Dev get his family back as they've just left to live with Sunita's parents?

Finally (sorry for all the questions....) does Fred actually marry Shelley's mum as they've just had engagement party? Thanks!!!

Re: Coronation St

sheedydog — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 06:55:38 GMT

On 7TWO weekdays 5.30pm with same ep repeated 10am the following day.

Re: Coronation St

cherry*135 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 06:59:02 GMT

Yes, boris, I read Dennis (77yo) has an affair with Glo (70 yo) and he leaves the show. Gloria leaves the show also as her contract has expired

Rita (80 yo) left broken hearted.

Better ask am, soooo long ago my memory is terrible - i can say that the last 2 end badly,

oh no - i just googled Corro to try and jog my memory and accidently found out that one of my fave characters is leaving.

Re: Coronation St

cherry*135 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 07:18:15 GMT

LOL I was waiting for you to answer those questions boris

It is hard to answer the question about Dev as there has been big developments in his storyline in the last year.. so any answer to that question would be out of date.

I missed a few years of Coro.. so the Leanne bit I am not familar with.

Fred died on his wedding day before the ceremony.

Coro 'killed off' quite a few actors/actresses over a fairly short period of time. Cutting their salary bill I think.

boris1gary — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 07:32:34 GMT

sheepy, so much happens, i just got a memory jolt by reading Corriepedia - leannes story from start till now - she was a horrible character (still is imo) - check out corriepedia for all your questions.

and seriously consider foxtel.

Re: Coronation St

cherry*135 — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 07:34:48 GMT

I quite like Leanne now, certainly a complete change around from how she used to be. She was good to Nick after his accident.

Simon likes her, lol.

Re: Coronation St

boris1gary — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 08:59:17 GMT

yeah leanne has changed a lot, i suppose its that judgemental part of her character that annoys me, like she is snow white or something - simon is adorable, although i doubt in real life she would have got custody, not in this country anyway - listen to me, hubby's always saying "there not real, you know"

Boris, I can't stand any of the soaps. They're on here far too much, anyway. Time was when each soap was aired for two half-hourly episodes per week which was more than ample, now they all have extra episodes, plus hourly ones, and then the mammoth 'catch-ups' as they laughingly call them, when in actual fact it's simply an excuse to fill air time.

I used to be an avid fan of Corrie, but sadly I think it's gone down the pan. It deteriorated when the likes of Hilda & Stan, Mavis & Derek, and Vera & Jack disappeared. All characters, that haven't been replaced.

As for the wrist-slashing Eastenders, whenever you accidentally click on to an episode, there always seems to be someone arguing. Dire and depressing. Emmerdale is merely soporific. If you suffer from insomnia, watch that. I can guarantee you'll have nodded off within seconds. One long yawn from beginning to end.

However, hopefully you've been spared the latter in Oz.

emb, emmerdale, corro, eastenders on every weekday evening on the UK channel, and you sound just like my Mr Boris, I really don't know why i like them so much and your probably right (except the falling to sleep bit ). Eastenders was on the ABC many many years ago and when it suddenly wasn't quite a few of us were devastated. In my defense they are the only soaps i watch.
