Roy's Rolls cafe is in dire need of a bit of a spruce-up. The wall, pipe and that shelf behind Cathy last night looked horribly grubby. I can't imagine that it would gain five stars in the Food Hygiene Inspection.
Roy would be apoplectic BTWE the woodie still has P plates up and Roy has pased his test many years. Is he teaching Nina and if so, has she passed?200Plus Club said:
Am sure I've seen Abbi's teeth on some other creature on TV previously?
That thing that played the drums on the Muppet show?She's supposed to be a tart/council scrubber/drug user etc, yet she's got a £5k set of choppers
Where is this Audrey booze thing going? Is it anti-booze or demonstrating that when you get to a certain age you don't need to give a toss any more?

Wherever it’s going, it needs to hurry up and get there. I’m already bored of Gail’s sad/despairing/disapproving face (though she’s made a career out of it so fair play to the woman), and Audrey’s repetitive “Oh David/Gail/Rita” response. If she’s said once that she’s being treated like a child, she’s said it twenty times. Sometimes feels like the writers bash viewers over the head with their point a little bit.And isn’t the Max-rudey-picture plot just a bit of a rehash of what happened to Asha? Just with some added blackmail?
Thank god there’s still some humour, though. I’ve long given up on the other soaps, so I’m glad Corrie keeps rewarding my faith with the sole thing that has always made it different!
N.B Very glad this thread exists - I sometimes feel like a total loser for enjoying it
You shouldn't. I'd only watch Top Gear/ Strictly/ Repair Shop/ SAS tosh/Car SOS at gunpoint - but at its best the Street offers humour , pathos and drama - beautifully written and directed, and with sublime acting from the likes of Roy and Evelyn . If he were alive today, Dickens would be writing the scripts .
At its worst it offers daft plots, clunking dialogue and amateur hour acting - but it is worth sticking with for the good stuff.

Unfortunately the scales tip far too often towards this these days At its worst it offers daft plots, clunking dialogue and amateur hour acting - but it is worth sticking with for the good stuff.
I think it works well actually , and the Street has always featured social issues . What is baffling is the ignorance the writers show in Maria's council work - newly elected independents do not make policy on their own whim , nor do they negotiate industrial disputes etc.
Peter's Game of Thornes scam was always going to end badly .

Given Roy's obsessive interest in doing things correctly, I'm surprised he didn't have the compulsory first-aid kit in the kitchen.
Whilst I'm being Mr. Picky, why did Fiz go to Beth to fix her veil when she's a seamstress herself? And how did Adam know that Thorne's Prius was a hire car? No-one had even intimated it.
