It's annoying when they do one depressing storyline after another for a certain character. Like how many husbands has Gail had that have been killed - 3 isn't it. Although I know it's a soap - it starts to get a little repetative after a while. It would be nice for Tina to have at least a year of fairly happy stories before a depressing one!


On that note, I hope Jack gets a nice exit... perhaps buying a home in Blackpool with Connie or something.

A 'source' revealed it, not Phil


Yes quite right, my apologies. Well given David's past misdeeds, it wouldn't surprise me... hope it is tabloid speculation though.


lol thought I best correct it, I don't think its true now, usually if its true, other tabloids pick the story up straight away, but none of them have

I think Jack's exit will be a nice one Smile

I don't think this has been mentioned in the thread yet: yesterday's Sun newspaper had a few details about the BBC Four drama about the history and making of the Street, and revealed that Jessie Wallace has been given the role of Pat Phoenix.

...what do you make of that? I believe one of Bill Roache's sons is going to portray the early William, though I'm not sure.

Yeah I saw that, was goint to post it, but forgot. Yeah I think James is the one that's going to be playing the young Ken.

Also I'm not sure anyones seen the story i posted the other day as no one's commented on it ( or perhaps they just don't want to Very Happy )

Here it is again in case you missed it!

Reports: Character to be killed off at Christmas! The Sun ( i know) has revealed...
CORRIE adulteress Molly Dobbs is to be KILLED OFF in a major Christmas storyline, we can reveal.

The character, played by Vicky Binns, is pregnant after betraying hubby Tyrone with mechanic Kevin Webster.

And TV Biz has learned that the dramatic exit will leave Kev's wife Sally holding the baby as the couple take in the child after Molly's death.

Scriptwriters have come up with the plotline to keep viewers hooked on the love triangle, even though actress Vicky is leaving.

The soap's new executive producer Phil Collinson first revealed there would be a death on Corrie's official website.

He wrote: "I don't want to give too much away, but there's going to be a dead body on Coronation Street.

"It's going to be a death that will affect a couple of our most significant characters in a way that will hopefully be really surprising and exciting.

"It's the beginning of a story that's going to take us across the next year."

Vicky, 27, joined Coronation Street in 2005 as Molly Compton, the daughter of local baker Diggory.

The character arrived intent on revenge against her former classmate, Fiz Brown, played by Vicky's off-screen pal Jennie McAlpine, 26.

Molly married Tyrone Dobbs in January last year, but began an affair with his garage boss Kevin just months later.

The pair planned to leave their spouses on Christmas Day, but Kevin had a change of heart after Sally told him she had breast cancer.

Molly left Tyrone, then found out she was pregant weeks later.

Unsure about who was the father and facing life as a single mum, she went back to her unsuspecting husband.

Collinson added: "This storyline has been central to the drama of the show for a year now and I hope that the many different twists and turns we have planned will keep the fans on the edge of their seats for months to come."

Well, Molly's never been a character I've warmed to, and her overnight switch in personality when she suddenly went from devoted wife to knocking off another man whom she'd previously shown no interest in whatsoever didn't really add to her credibility. I'll be glad to see her gone to be honest.

I take it that episodes are now out of sequence ? Tonight's first episode is clearly the 2nd of what should have been the Friday two-parter ?

They need to sort the Shaun/Violet storyline. If I remember correctly, months ago he sent her a friend request. But he came back from his holidays last night saying he'd found her on 'Facebook' and sent her another one. Then tonight, Michelle is saying 'send her a friend request' Rolling Eyes

Or 'Facescene', another Corrie brand to join 'Stellberg' and whatever the names they gave to Google & Ebay before.

The way I understood it was that Violet hadn't responded to Shaun's friend request, presumably because she want's nothing to do with him. Hence, setting up a profile in Liz's name.
