The official PH Coronation Street thread

[md.]

Anyone know about the lamp in the skip?The OH just told me what she thinks it is, anybody else!?

[RB Will]

Didn't Tracy say it was from her bedroom? Hence why Steve and David recognised it.
Think Tyrone was being a bit mardy about Steve having to go somewhere else for MOTs, it's not like Steve can have a fleet of cars out driving around with no MOTs or park them all up, it's not like a service you can't delay it. Reckon Tyrone could do an MOT in the state he is in anyway. Only physical bit of one is a wheel waggle.

Tracy threw it out into the skip, Steve thought he recognised it (From his old relationship with her)....Michael retrieved it to give it Audrey as a pressie, but David didn't think Audrey would like it and threw it back into the skip.

Nice to see everyone wearing the cricket gear and clothing we supplied to the show a few weeks back...

Meanwhile, no doubt the ambulance chasing firms will be beating a path to Tyrone's door, now the truth is out.

Rob is hitting the whisky....Is it only a matter of time till he cracks up?.......

And Roy! (from when he ended up in Tracey's bed. That was the gag, the number of men who'd been in her bed.

You know far too much Twiglet, it's not healthy.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

You may be right. But in my defense, it's the only soap we watch.

I laughed my head off at the lamp stuff. Knew the link immediately. This sort of stuff is exactly why I love Corrie.

I haven't watched it yet, but that wouldn't be the same lamp she killed Charlie with, would it?

Just watched it, and regret posting too early. As we in the trade say, 'twas a standard lamp, whereas the murder weapon was a table lamp. How come David Platt recognised it? I don't remember a liaison with Tracy.

Loved the India/Pakistan rivalry - just like that daily marching parade on the North-West border, where the two "sides" have a sort of drill competition of pompous strutting. Corrie writers understood all of that.

Is the newbie brother of Kal the same actor who was the shop-owner in Shameless? And will Michael turn out to be a crack batsman? **

(** that looks like some sort of euphemism!)

[Highway Star]

David definitely has taken a look at Tracey's Barlows in the past.

Loved the lamp references.

Was also pleased with some of my cricket team personnel predictions.

When David worked out that Tracey killed Charlie, he blackmailed her into sex in return for keeping his gob shut.

[DSLiverpool]

When Tracey came back to the Street she slept with Nick and Davud to spite Gail

How do you lot remember all this? Do you have a giant wallchart and planner, with coloured stars and whatnot? I've forgotten more than I've remembered, although the "David blackmailing Tracy" business rings a bell now.

When you subscribe to "the street" fan club you have access to a database that is updated weekly, you can enter any event and it brings up all the characters involved and dates etc. I don't go to the club meetings but I bet Wacky does ?

Not yet. Although I do put the kids and puppies/kittens out into the garden when Corrie's on, as long as the snowdrifts aren't too high. Lost a couple in that bad snow 3 years ago, but you have to pay some sort of price.

It's the cricket match tonight - anyone reckon the Rovers will lose because of inter-Asia bickering? Who's doing the tea? (Always the best part of the day for me).

[mcbook]

I had no idea about the lamp joke as I only started regularly watching in the last couple of years - glad I came on here to be put right.

Like the India vs Pakistan stuff too. Dev's Pakistani accent was priceless!

[DSLiverpool]

Les Dennis is doing his role in a Mavis stylee - if he says "I don't really know" I'm done!

Jason going from Bop It to bonk it

Rob acting his socks off - !

Nice to see Chesney in the street - he should be running devs shop?

Yes - he was supposed to be unable to take time off. Poor continuity?

Why did Rob bury the lead pipe when he could have thrown it into the canal in the first place? And what a waste of a nice new spade.

The level of the cricket match wasn't even "junior club". Embarrassing. And Steph ran like a girl when she did the stumping - YES I KNOW SHE'S A GIRL, but I hate that wimpy sort of thing. I'm surprised she didn't squeal with excitement when she did it.

Tea did look OK, but it's not the same without a homemade Victoria sponge.

[Mr GrimNasty]

They should have roped in Roy or Mary or Norris or Tracey or...... (I just realised this is going to be a very long list) ......to do the tea.
It would have been a good opportunity for a 'one sandwich short' gag!
