And she's making me wish I was gay too so that I could turn as well.

Oh. My. Gawd.

Had a nice chat with the lovely Rob yesterday. He looks so different to the last time I saw him with his hair slightly longer - it really suits him. He commented on my Welsh accent ;D (as did Peter Armitage who I saw later on in the afternoon). Julia didnt this time though.

I told him id heard he is leaving and he said yes so I asked what he has planned after Corrie and he said nothing yet, he said he could be on the dole! He also said he misses going for auditions - I guess he was never likely to stay in one show for years and years then. I then thanks him and shook his hand

[RitaLittlewood]

Got pics?

Well a shaken hand isn't as good as being kissed. Maybe next time.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

No pic this time. No-one around to take it. Unlike last time I had him all to myself! Someone did take one of me with Tom Hudson but I doubt it will come out.

LOL! It was me who put my hand out for him to shake. I dont think he'd have appreciated me making a pass at him lol

[RitaLittlewood]

LOL! You're the wrong sex.

Me and Geoff are going up north in June..we are off to Liverpool and Blackpool...might do a detour to Manchester

what is the best time to hang around the gates Jez,to see the cast coming in and out?

[sallywebster]

The best time is lunchtime - between 11.30am-2.00pm id say. Also late afternoon between about 4.30pm-6.30pm is good too. Its between those times ive had most of mine. Its all down to luck though, could be there an hour and no-one passes or 20 could go past.

Hope you see Liam/Rob, Nick! Good luck!

[Nick]

Thanks Jez..I haven't been to the Corrie set since 1982...where is the gate now?

And I don't suppose if you,or anyone else knows the address of Brookside close..I know it is in the West Derby area of Liverpool...mind you I doubt its even called Brookside now

[Nick]

I think i have found it off Deysbrook lane in Liverpool 8

[RitaLittlewood]

You'll have to say if they now let you in. My horrible aunt took us in 1983 but the security guard in the portakabin said to bog off but we could buy mugs and things before leaving. LOL! My aunt lived just off Queen's Drive at Stoneycroft (M62 end) and we went that way. My aunt also guessed it was the taxi driver who raped Sheila. I remember telling her she was wrong. Oh how she enjoyed saying those three little words when all was revealed. LOL! Her son John's amateur footie team played Brookside in about 1986. They lost. Hehe.

I haven't been to Liverpool for 10 years next month when I visited my nice aunt. I meant to go back but she was unwell for a long time and said to leave it until she was more her old self. Then she died. My dad hates the city of his birth now. Says they've ruined it and never wants to go back EVER. Not that he can travel anyway. LOL! I'm still quite fond of the place. Second home when I was growing up but I agree it isn't the same any more.

Have fun at Brookie, Blackpool and Machester! ;D

You lucky thing Jez. Would love to meet 'Bill Webster' and 'Liam' in real life.

[Nick]

I have read that they refurbished and sold all the Brookside houses off in 2005..so it should be an ordinary residential area now I would imagine


We went to Ramsay Street (Pinoak Court) in 1995...it was dead ordinary (and small)..you would never think it was on Neighbours

You know where the main Granada reception is on Quay Street? There is a side street called Atherton Street off Quay Street, walk right to the top pf Atherton Street (alongside the Granada building) and the gates are at the top of this Street.

No idea about Brookie sorry

I know! Peter/Bill was really nice too CG - he pulled over in his car so I could have an autograph. When he heard me speak he asked which part of Wales im from so I said Neath and he said he has been to that neck of the woods and know Gorseinon very well (I dont know if you are familiar with Gorseinon at all CG?)

[CG Wendy]

(I dont know if you are familiar with Gorseinon at all CG?)

Sorry Jez, no I`m not familiar with it. I`m originally from Cwmbran, which is 12 miles from Newport and about 20 something miles from Cardiff.
I`ve always loved Bill Webster and would love to see him in more storylines. It would be nice if Bill and Audreh got married.

[Nick]

I like Bill too..he is lucky having already been axed twice..I hoipe he lasts a bit longer this time

thanks for the info Jez...I think I have Brookie sorted

[RitaLittlewood]

Don't forget to go to the Museum of Science and Industry behind to see the street unless they've blocked the view from Xperiment now.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

Well we havent seen Bill for a while but he must be back filming if he was there yesterday. A really nice bloke though.

I went in the Museum yesterday Pat and they have white covering the windows now so you cant see anything.

[RitaLittlewood]

Craperoony!!! How uncooperative is that? Bet Granada complained. Won't let you visit or see now. Bastards!

Patsy

[sallywebster]

The bloke I was chatting to said that Granada requested they do that as people were watching filming.

[RitaLittlewood]

You mean they really wanted to 'leak' spoilers rather than the public.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

LOL! Thats about the size of it. People used to ignore the notice that was put up saying no photos were to be taken of the Corrie set, I took mine back in 2005 before they put the notice up.

[RitaLittlewood]

Oh I know. They had coloured windows when I went in 2002 but you could see because people had picked away at it.
