Coronation Street

Well their cars seem to appear when they're needed for the story!

Was going to say they appear by magic if someone needs to use their car

They started tonight. First episodes with Kate Oates as Producer.

I don't know who tonight's writer was but there was a lot of funny lines, like Classic corrie and not forced like comedy was a few months ago.

Bravo! More please! As they say on Points of View

The 7:30 was Damon Rochefort, I do know. He's on a Victoria Wood Facebook group I'm a part of, and actually flagged up that he wrote this episode back on the day she died, and told us there was a joke in this episode as a tribute to her.

And Victoria Wood was mentioned by name in the episode.

I must say I have noticed a difference since Kate Oates officially has been credited as Producer. It has been better in many ways; comedy, drama and some good stories.

Next week on Wednesday it is the 9,000th episode and Maria and Kirk receive bad news. Apparently whoever is being killed off has not been leaked. I am wondering if it is either of their parents or sadly possibly the dog. Unless there is someone else connected to them that we don't realise that would be a shock to us all.

You don't seem too bothered if it's a human that dies there.

Sharif Nazir will no longer appear in Coronation Street.

Actor Marc Anwar who plays the character has been sacked for posting a series of racist comments on Twitter.

It will be interesting to see how the writers manage his exit storyline as it has come completely out of the blue.

Spoiler: it's a TV drama, nobody actually dies

Very interesting, I doubt they'll write him into some holiday or break as they don't want him back after that. I'm presuming they'll have to kill him off.

Yeah, reread what I was quoting.

And right in the middle of an affair storyline, whereas his previous most interesting storyline was raising chickens to the annoyance of Sally next door.
