The official PH Coronation Street thread

[Wacky Racer]

So Nick is taking the gloves off, and is preparing to fight dirty....what a bad loser.....

Steve is prepared to give a job to an ex con when Gail fluttered her eyelashes at him.....will this end in tears?

More revelations tomorrow night.....

Kal's acting gets cheesier and more wooden with every episode. I see 'Kal's mother' getting several mentions - cue entrance from 'ballsy Asian grandmother' type character to 'shake things up'.

His character really needles me.It's happened from time to time on Corrie - they bring in a new character to add ethnicity/youth/hunk or babe/ w.h.y. and it just sometimes misses the mark.

Meanwhile, Gail looks more and more like a tortoise head (note I deliberately omitted to say turtle head) every week. Surely the writers still don't look on her as love interest for anyone?

More excellent banter from the Steve/Lloyd/Eileen triumvirate. Superb comedy writing.

(PS- has Steve got away with it re his knowledge of the Peter/Tina affair? Michelle looks remarkably calm these days)

Nick's not going to have any customers left in the Bistro if he keeps scaring them off like that....Tim would take any amount of abuse to get a free meal.....

Fireworks are on the cards when Leanne meets Kal's family.......

Nick's gone all "Lorne Malvo". Even Ratboy was impressed.

(Any chance we can get a late-night Corrie, like they do with Hollyoaks, so we can see Eva in some of the gear from Underworld?)

another attempt to make Lloyd interesting fails

Just watching Wednesday's episode and found myself wondering how you get into acting. Kal is standing there like someone simply reciting their lines. It's awful.

I had a good look at Deirdre's grouting last night - it's a lot straighter than the sinews in her neck.

How does Eccles stay so trim? Did you see the number of dog treats she keeps in the kitchen?

(BTW the acting of every member of Kal's family is suspect. I think they were selected from passers-by in the street)

Maria and Carla in the Rovers, nothing looks like that in my local

Both use the same gym as me, and if you can't see better in your local you must be in a rough area.

Saw Carla in Knutsford last December and I would ....infact Mrs Dicky says I can

No,.... it's Gail's grouting fitted by boyfriend Joe (Tina's dad)...(The kitchen fitter)..(ex)

[Wacky Racer]

"Carla" was stood in front of me in a queue at Manchester Airport, I'm surprised how dainty she was....

Funny how the "murder" investigation seems to have gone on the boil.

Also, when's Ken coming back from "Canada"?....We need answers.

Don't get me wrong, she's attractive but no better than a lot of other women who use the gym.

Murder gone quiet whilst they come up with a plausible way not to lose any characters I guess - Peter is off soon

Both their lives have hit rock bottom, and the jukebox was playing "The Only Way Is Up".

I don't watch much television but have a deep affection for Coronation Street (probably genetic - both my Grandfathers were huge fans!). I can get a laugh out of pretty much every episode! I do wish Norris could have a bit more screen-time though, oh and I miss Blanche enormously.

I was just comparing the grouting for the two houses. Don't know who did Deirdre's, but doubt if it was Ken. Gail's is a joke - I wouldn't own up to doing that bag of cr*p. And Joe wasn't a very good swimmer, either.

BTW Eccles is still trim, but have you seen Ozzie? That lab is fat as f***!
