Are you sure it wasn't ET?

My OH has often seen her in the audience of London theatre productions . Not me -but I once had to stand up to let Melvyn Bragg by and also sat behind the late Susannah York , about whom , as a 14 year old I entertained some very lurid thoughts .

On a slightly different note Helen Worth dropped a few quid in my Lifeboats collection bucket on Friday , lovely lady (Very small !)

No. ET's taller.

It is a bit odd. Anyway, surely Weathy Council would have a public display at the Red Rec ?

[200Plus Club]

Seriously what just happened there?
World's worst acting round the fire!

Tonight's seems a bit weird with certain camera shots. Also what's the story with the dodgy child minder woman?

They're dragging it out a bit. We still don't know - maybe the writers don't know either!

How come Tiana's at playgroup? She's still a babe in arms.

I spotted a young Gail (Helen Worth) in the school congregation in the 1967 film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie featuring Maggie Smith and Robert Stevens. (Pamela Franklin in the foreground)

Ah, see she still looked like Emu back then.

How is tyrone affording a live in teacher when a few months ago he was selling bits of scrap metal to make ends meet and had to pull out going for a pint as he was skint.

New wooden top actor goes to Michael Bailey

Jack is currently no.1 on the woodentops

Poor overall tonight. Topical storyline draining any enjoyment out of it. Seems like every week now there's a new story without finishing the old ones. Felt like hard work, let's see what Wednesday brings Lol!

I’ve a sneaking suspicion that Jade is a relative of John Stape (little sister maybe?) looking to extract revenge because she blames Fizz.
In other news, Roy’s niece is to be replaced with an alabaster statue for the next episode but it’s ok because the colour will be a match and nobody will notice the slight improvement in acting.

I think his younger brother is even worse.

He pauses before every sentence to remember his lines.....

[coppice]

Agreed - he is Sir Ian McKellen compared to his brother . And his father too- he is terrible and somebody should tell him that actors can use different tones of voice to convey, y'know , emotion ?

. But the wooden spoon previously held by Jude is still retained by Jack , as mentioned,. I wonder why they had the leg plot as it is never mentioned . Maybe he grew a new one ? And that Pathe News 1959 spec haircut of his looks ever more absurd .

Good call.

Billy the Vic is getting more and more creepy with every episode. Maybe the police need to check his laptop out too!!

[Harry H]

Gemma's brother, just F**k Off. Crap over acting and a revolting individual that I couldn't give a stuff about.

Other annoyances

Gemmas mother and Billy.
The estranged girlfriend with the builder boys (another over actor) baby story.
Fizz and her arsonist daughter. (the kid needs a good slap)

I'm just finding the majority of the plots and a lot of actors winding me up at the moment. If I wasn't a life long Corrie addict I'd switch it off for a few months. They need another tram crash to have a good clear out. Trouble is it's mainly the new characters that I find most upsetting which doesn't bode well for the future.
