Robert announced he was considering changing the name of Nicks’s Bistro last week, I wonder if he’ll consider franchising and re-open as a Nando’s!?

A couple of years ago when Sue Johnston was playing Gloria (great character, I thought, and brilliantly played too) she made a comment to Stella about Dev’s children who she called “Asda” and “Aldi” so I suppose references to real shops etc aren’t that new... (It also made me giggle  .) |

Audrey went on a course yesterday. She only arranged it last minute it seems as she has to pass her booked-in client (Brian) over to Maria who then passed him to Bethany the pole dancer-cum-nail-bar manager) and she didn't have to travel far because she left well after 9am and was back in the Rovers by midday. Anyway it was on 'Hairdressing in the Virtual World' and from this she learnt that The Customer Is Always Right. This made all the other nonsense in the double episode worth it... (Bethany actally made a good job of Brian's hair although the storyline was trying to make us believe that it made him look ridiculous.) Another highlight was Liz's leggings. (Years ago I read that Simon Gregson calls Beverley Callard 'Legs Open Liz' off set. ) |

Plus Billy called urgently to school to discuss Summer and then next seen casually sitting in the Rovers with a glass of wine! The scene in the church isle of him and his brother off their faces on heroin had me howling with laughter - is this wrong? Good to see the comedy back on the show!

We’ve had some stinkers in our time... Child actors. Nicky Tilsleys and endless Tracy Barlows spring to mind. But since little Chesney appeared (better as a child than as an adult if truth be told!) we’ve been on the up. Hope Stape has been stealing scenes for a couple of months now. Her take on why people eat kebabs and her advice, bawled across the street to Sinead and Daniel, was just priceless! And I’m glad Moira’s back... |

It will be weird seeing the new set. Can't imagine Ena Sharples popping into Costa for a latte! Still I am sure I will get used to it.

Getting really sick of "Corrie" [ & Emmerdale] - I stopped watching "Eastenders" years ago. I think the Phelan storyline has gone on far too long.

Great fight scene last night between Fiz, Gemma and Rita with her umbrella.
Corrie does fab female fights. Always very funny.

For a moment I thought the hospital DJ (Audrey’s new love interest) was Basil Brush’s Mr Derek, but a bit of Googling told me it’s Half a Sixpence and Mrs Henderson’s Ian Bartholomew! (Watch out, Eileen...!  ) |

Yep, I recognized him but couldn't place him. As a regular theatre goer I often notice that when watching TV I recognize someone but cannot place them. It is often someone I saw in a show a few weeks before rather than a "well known" character actor who may have numerous roles across a lot of TV shows.
The Phelan story has been dragged out with no real twist.
My mum is convinced since Tony Warren passed away the quality of Corrie's storylines has declined. He was still a consultant on the show for years after he stopped his direct involvement so I don't know if he had any veto on certain storylines.

Considering we have been promised the denoument of the Phelan story any time now, I was really disappointed that in tonight's extra episode of Corrie we had a particularly silly and badly constructed storyline concerning the Rover's trying to become a child friendly pub taking up valuable time that should have been spent on getting to the end of Phelan.
The writers have quite enough additional material with the new love interests for Liz and Audrey, not to mention whatever is happening with Eva's pregnancy and the Connor family doings, without that really inconsequential and meaningless activity in the Rover's.
If we don't get a decent conclusion to the Phelan/Eileen storyline tomorrow night I will be VERY annoyed. Hrrumph!!

I hate to tell you this, tony, but I have a feeling it might only be denouement (Part 1)... Aren’t they going out in a boat in tonight’s episode? I reckon we’ll have Phelan, after the big reveal (“I’m a bad’un, love...”), trying to push our Eileen overboard. He succeeds but she drags him with her, much to his surprise. She manages to climb back into the boat, watching him drift out to sea... Roll credits. Monday’s episode will see Anna released and back with Kevin, Gary and Seb released with full police apology, Seb becoming Gary’s best mate, Sean moving back in with Eileen to help her deal with the flack she’s getting from the neighbours, Eileen buying a scratchcard from Dev’s only to win millions to pay off the neighbours her husband swindled blah, blah, blah. And then... (***cue Jaws music***) in six months time... guess who rolls up on the cobbles? Denouement (Part 2) due Christmas 2019. Just my theory! |

Oh Caiaphas – either you are psychic (I won't mention Rosemary) or you are in a relationship with one of the Corrie writers! Everything you say is unfortunately only too plausible and is just as likely to happen as all the other implausible things that have been going on lately. Now if you can only explain to me what will be happening with Eva's baby, a story line that I have completely lost track of, then I will know that you are better informed about the doings on the Street than the current creative team. Perhaps we can call it denouement (Part 1a)...... |

Well that was hardly worth waiting for. Think I`m going to give up on Corrie ( & Emm) as I did East years ago.

^ Some people are so hard to please. They found the exact location of Eileen and Phelan from Liz’s “I don’t know... I think they’re staying somewhere near a lighthouse.” They got from Weatherfield, through Manchester, to a seaside location in Friday night traffic in about four and a half minutes and located them immediately. It got dark in twenty seconds. He died like Javert. And Eileen was still back at the cottage for a cuppa with her mates before the credits rolled...  |

Oh dear, you clearly have never watched Doctor Who, or grasped the concept of time travel.
As my dad used to say "It's as far fetched as sh*t from China".

Well, that's me finished with Corrie. A ludicrous end to a long storyline. So many ridiculous things about it.
Why did Seb ad Gary not notice the boot sticking out of the concrete pillar?
How did they locate them? - "by a lighthouse"!!
Why did it suddenly go dark? Just so the scene was more "dramatic at night"?
and don't get me started on Eva's baby - how has no-one noticed she is 7 months pregnant? Is she just going to give it to Leanne? I really don't care!
Dreadful editing, the whole show is annoying me!
