I know what you mean. Maybe next week Kirk will discover a cure for cancer whilst negotiating a Middle East peace deal.
Cue Kirk looking blankly at the speaker and replying "No, I don't think I could do that, I wouldn't be bright enough". The actor is seriously good at doing "thick".

Haha! He's as dumb in real life. I met him when I lived next door to Jenny McAlpine.

Oddly, Kev seems to have come back, then vanished again, but what has happened to 'Ken Barlow'? The trial finished ages ago....

Depends how far ahead these things are recorded. I agree though - it does seem a long time. Maybe Roache is mulling over his future before they write him back in - he's not a young man any more.

Isn't Kev's current lack of screen time due to the revelations around drugs?

I reckon Peter's current travails is the perfect time for seeing a return from the Kenmeister, Manchester's most hirsute pensioner...

So Deidre hasn't told Ken that Tina is dead and Peter is in the nick? Does Ken not have any other mates then? Or follow the news thanks to the wonder of the internet?

Yes, typical of Corrie humour. And I liked her analogy of "Uncle Albert saved 2 lives, so that evens it out for our family". Also liked the reference to Blanche - she's much missed with her caustic comments.

Is this the first time we've known about Albert Tatlock and his MM ? I don't recall hearing about it before. (Does anyone know the value of a WW1 MM? Surely more than a few hundred, as Tracy claims?)

(PS Just looked up prices and Corrie's writers are correct - £400/500 is normal. I though it'd be a fair bit more.)

Albert's Military Medal has been mentioned many times over the years... I remember him showing it to Tracey when Drearie and Ken first got together.

What is beginning to annoy me about Corrie is that they don't research things properly.

A professional Baillif would not enter a property on the invitation of a minor... and even then, would not enter without identifying themselves BEFORE entering a property.

Shoddy research.

I agree that Lloyd has over-reacted. He should think himself lucky - he'd been punching above his weight. Whilst we're on that subject .....Michelle to Neil about Steve's attractiveness "He's well out of her league". Yes, that's Steve she's defending - Steve, the gormless, hapless, Pilsbury Doughboy of Weatherfield.

Also last night - Audrey to Michael " Gail tells me you're working wonders on her front garden". (snigger....)

And Michael committing the most heinous of crimes. Holding his bourbon in gardening gloves he's just used to arrange mulch/compost in Gail's front garden. Lovely taste that - chocolate and dirt.

These is NO WAY a bloke wouldn't have a goodbye rip before telling her the score - no way. But I guess that's not Corry with Lloyd rolling over and telling her to get her knickers on and leave.

He's only on remand. Arrested on suspicion etc. He'll have his day in court - that's a "soap court" where everything is over and done in one day. I'm waiting for David Cameron to start a "release the Weatherfield One" campaign - when Tony Blair did that for Deirdre it must have been the nadir of proceedings in Westminster. Our country, which effectively created democracy and the modern judicial system, and once ruled (fairly benignly compared to some countries) the biggest empire the world has ever seen. And our duly elected PM stoops to those levels.

Sorry, OT rant over. Bl**dy pseudo-socialist.... mutter, mutter.

Corrie is the only soap that I can bear to watch and I really enjoy it. It's the humour that gets me - even in the darkest times there's usually a decent gag thrown in. I prefer the more the upbeat story-lines that Corrie seems to run... leave the eternal drama to Eastenders.

Couple of good gags from the other night were Audrey's "front garden" one and Deirdre's "bone idle". Bone idle being particularly funny to me because it's a phrase my Gran used regularly (she was from Manchester).
