For some time now, I've formed the impression that Bradley Walsh improvises some of his lines ad lib. Some of them are exceptionally witty and stand out conspicuously against the remainder of the sometimes rather bland dialogue in a typical episode. I think its his roots as a pretty good stand-up comic that are showing.
Does anybody know whether Bradley Walsh has carte blanche from the Corrie scriptwriters to do this, and just how much scope for improvisation does he have?

'Fraid I don't know the answer, but you make a good point. Bradley Walsh is as sharp as a tack when chatting, or being interviewed, and this certainly seems to come across when he's playing Danny, but maybe that's the perceived impression of the Cockernee Wideboy he's playing, and is entirely the work of the scrippos? Hard to tell where the join is, but it does make for a great character whatever the truth is!  The other point is that it rumoured that certain characters in soaps are assigned 'specialist' scriptwriters. If you think of Blanche or Eileen (as well as Danny) in Corrie, or Val and Diane in Emmerdale, all of these characters seem to have far sharper dialogue than anyone else, which lends some crediblity to this rumour. |

Graham Norton must write for Sean and Norris, and Dick Dastardly must write for Charlie and Tracy...... |

Why do they never have Worst Actress at these awards? Only one she'd win every year!

Graham Norton must write for Sean and Norris, and Dick Dastardly must write for Charlie and Tracy...... Tonight during the darts match Sean made a classic Graham Norton/ Juilian Clary remark 'I'd have given my right arm for a bendy bully...' The innocent among you would have taken that as a reference to Bullseye, but I've been to enough Ann Summers parties to know that means something else!LOL! |

I suppose it is rude - sorry if anyone takes offence but a Bully or a Jelly Bully is a particularly robust adult sex toy!  |

I found out. He has a website that doesn't work (helpful) and I still can't spell his name. Someone's set up a Yahoo group. groups.yahoo.com/group/duncan_norvelle/ Also apparently he's popular on the club circuit and cruise ships. Of course! I should have guessed really. Old comedians never fade - they end up entertaining pissed cruisers like David Copperfield!  He's also (prepare yourselves) got a wife!  Patsy |

Yep especially if it's anything like David Copperfield and hardly anyone wanted to talk to him after his act. LOL!

I do feel a little bit sorry for Danny, it's a bit of a double whammy for him.
The fight scenes at the canal were pretty authentic - but Jamie would have needed proper treatment to recover from that attack, stomach-pumpimg at the very least.
Years ago when I used to do First Aid the trainer told us that the only time that a casulaty comes round after a couple of mouth to mouth ventilations is on telly - in reality it's unlikley that they will make anything resembling a recovery until the professionals have a crack at them.
Showing Jamie coming round after suffering such a bad beating and being nearly drowned is quite unrealistic and irresponsible - yobs watching might not appreciate how much they can hurt someone with such violence when the tv shows people up and about almost immediately.
