Coronation Street Episode Thread

Brilliant eps last night. I`m loving Lloyd more and more. He`s the kind of neighbour I`d like to have.
Jerry was very good, and so were Mel and Darryl.

Now we know what happened to Miss Hells black ring that went missing on Mondays episode.....Reet is wearing it on her jacket!!!

;D ;D

[Nick]

Kayleigh told Lloyd that she knew who had done the robberies

[RitaLittlewood]

Maybe it was an hour then. Thanks, Nick. I wish they'd stop fart arseing about and just drop bloody eps instead of moving them here, there and everywhere and sticking them together then we'd know what was a true hour and what wasn't.

CG, are you trying to make me ill? I haven't had my dinner yet. LOL! Do you think the vain old cow keeps having collagen due to HDTV? LOL! If it's anything like Plasma (or the Plasma on Independence of the Seas) she hasn't got anything to worry about. Picture quality was crap. LOL!

She`s had summat done Pats...some of the lines from her neck and gone. I thought she looked rather nice last nice - as did our Emily.
I really enjoyed the scenes of Norris, Reet and Emily in the Kabin watching themselves on CCTV and talking about setting up their own detective agency lol
;D

[RitaLittlewood]

And keeps having it done for no sooner do the wrinkles reappear then they vanish again faster than photoshopping. She said herself years ago being in a soap is like Dorian Gray.

Pity such a serious subject matter is typically being turned into comedy so it will be forgotten.

The chocolate body paint was quite a good joke, the look on Jason's face!

How sweet of Emily to take a casserole to the Mortons. I've never seen her buy a kebab, but she still felt that she should show her support.
Groan at his ex wife, that old boot. Hope she doesn't stay long.

[pearly queen]

Is Moss Side Story a real thing - or is it something Corrie made up?
I'd love to see it, especially with Chesney as the lead. Is it just me - or has his nose got a lot bigger recently?
Anyway, I hope he's briefly happy with Kayleigh before she inevitably breaks his heart.

Theresa is another Cilla- we've seen it all before.
But she does also remind me slightly of Shona Spurtle from The High Life.

The rivalry between Dan and Steve is downright childish and irritating; Leanne and Miss Hell are getting on quite well considering Miss Hell has every right to detest Leanne. I don't think I'd be so civil to a tart who broke up my brother's marriage, leading to his death in a fatal car crash. In fact - I'd tell Steve that I'd refuse to work with that woman. But Steve is a big mummy's boy, and doesn't object to Liz the tart employing Leanne the tart.

[RitaLittlewood]

Anything like West Side Story?

Patsy

[Nick]

And who exactly put Michelle in charge...telling Leanne to turn off her mobile phone and get back to the bar !!!

And jerrys ex did have a look of Shona Spurtle (Hitler in tights)

[madison]

Boring bring boring . . . how bad are Chesney and especially Kayleigh at acting?! Sophie shows them right up although she does lok a bit like she's been tangoe,d maybe she got her mitts on that orange face paint that Bianca used in Eastenders!! I always thought Chesney was a decent enough actor but now I find him to be so stilted and uncomfrotable looking! xxxxxxxx

There is an area in Manchester called Moss Side, I expect they got the idea from that.

[pearly queen]

Ooh what a nasty little shit Norris is - scratching up Steve's car and letting Dan get the blame of it! And has the nerve to get on his moral high horse with Becky and Jason - what a ratbag.
Isn't it typical that Eileen bonds with Becky, just as Jason goes off her? He's going to let both of them down.

Lloyd should go for the DNA test, the fool - Theresa will bleed him dry and then disappear, he needs to protect himself.

If Steve buys the Peacocks house - where will the Peacocks live? Are they being written out, all of them?

[RitaLittlewood]

And Nick doesn't like Reet belittling the little git. He deserves it for being a nasty little shit! Go Reet! LOL!

Patsy

[CG Wendy]

I`ve always said Norris is spiteful piece of work - him scratching Steves car and too gutless to own up just proves it.

[RitaLittlewood]

Yep and he always was. Therefore he deserves everything he gets from Reet. ;D

Any chance of a screen cap of the Bride of Frankenstein so Amy can see? ITV catch-up doesn't have a frontal.

I take it all back.......Go Reet go..give him what you've got with both barrels

[RitaLittlewood]

A shotgun! Excellent idea there, Nick! ;D

Patsy

[RitaLittlewood]

Seen the robbery. They took the cash but left the fags? As if!

Patsy

[pearly queen]

Hey! I can post here again - hurrah!

[RitaLittlewood]

[Nick]

Hhhhhuuuuurrrraaaaayyyyyyy ;D

[CG Wendy]

Is there a Corrie episode tonight? I lose track

[RitaLittlewood]

Yes. Instead of Wed I think.

Patsy

[sallywebster]

Yes. It was set on a Sunday though so wasnt just tomorrow's first ep brought forward.

Grace Dent's World of Lather :

It was written in the stars that Steve McDonald would one day sleep with local bad girl Becky Grainger in Coronation Street. Steve is condemned by DNA to love obstreperous women. Women with tongues like club-hammers and granite hearts. It was obvious Steve would potentially wreck his relationship with Michelle for a night of drunken contortion with Becky. As Marc Almond might say, they stood to be "the standing joke of the year". Two ex-jailbirds rolling around on the carpet at Roy's flat after blocking two litres of Freshco cider. It's a pity, however, that in the morning light, Steve couldn't see Becky for the diamond she really is.

I've grown to love Becky Grainger, all-new Duchess of Weatherfield, stood behind the Roy's Rolls counter, chewing gum clacking, gold hoops swaying, shiny Reebok hoodie on over her tabard, nipping off for a Regal red before the lunch rush. In her unmithered state, Becky is sparrow-like and dainty, but the majority of the time resembles a fractious Komodo dragon prowling the shores waiting for yummy divers to wash up. Nobody bullies Becky Grainger, not the local builders, not posho management types from Underworld, not Audrey Roberts with her withering looks at Becky's picking her ears by the egg mayo mix.
Customers are welcome to give feedback on Becky's service although a return punch in the windpipe might offend. When we first met Becky she was an urchin turned homeless ex-con crouched in a ball on the curb begging for spare shrapnel, so it's safe to say that a run-in with Norris over the freshness of the ham and cheese bloomer doesn't ruffle her feathers much.

I wish someone would love Becky. She thrives when trust and affection is thrust upon her. Becky's platonic relationship with boss and father-figure Roy Cropper has been beautiful to watch unfold. Hapless, kind Roy lives wholly by society's forgotten rules on dignity, honour and conduct. He's a bygone man, which renders him virtually a loner in a bewildering world. On the other hand Becky has run wild for the past 20 years saying and doing whatever and made scarce friends because of it. Joined together, the pair make one able body equipped to take on the world.

My heart soars when someone tries to take advantage of Roy's good nature and Becky launches herself from the frying pans like a TK Maxx-clad X-Man landing among the plastic gingham tablecloths with a loud "WhatgoingonereRoy? Youneedan'and?" I suppose the point Corrie writers are making in a slow-burn, over 36 months way, is that sometimes you actually do need to hug-a-hoodie. Yes, even the hoodie that has been fired on numerous occasions for thieving from your till. Roy has persevered with Becky and shown great empathy and love. It was only when Becky believed that Roy genuinely did "expect better from her behaviour" that she began towing the line. I will not rest until she's landlady of the Rovers, it seems her rightful place.
