Its been reported that Adam Barlow is returning to the show , its not been confirmed but suggested that another actor will take over the role.

This could be good for storylines for the Barlow and Baldwin familes.


Yeah he's supposed to be getting the Nick Tilsley treatment and come back superb looking and older.
He's apparently going to be dating Sarah Lou.


Wasn't her new boyfriend going to be someone called Matt? I'm sure I read an article about it somewhere.

Well one source says that Adam will be Sarah Lou's boyfriend, another says this new character will so I guess we will have to wait and see.

Erm... speaking of Tina O'Brien, during a search I did a few minutes ago for "Coronation Street" on Altavista, around a few pages (probably 14 or 15), it came up with this!

Gordon Bennett!

Obviously someone has taken the image of Tina from the new "Soap Babes" calendar and... well, airbrushed something out!

It's Sarah Lou, She'll probably get through them both.

LOL probabaly. In one of the papers today it said there will be a catfight between Katy and Candice because Katy kisses Warren.

I liked the Daily Star's comments today:

TV TURN-ON

A little memo to the EastEnders scriptwriters who've admitted they just can't get Asian characters to work in a soap. Take it you watched Corrie last week? Now that's how it's done.

Laughing

Well done to all involved. I saw the omnibus yesterday. I liked the bit after she crashes into the shop & looks up suddenly covered in cuts with a mad look on her face.

Coronation Street... The best soap by far

Although Sarah isnt that much of a slapper, she has only slept with 4 lads (Neil Fearns, Ade, Turd and Jason) , Maria and Candice are bigger slappers.

Talking of Candice in the paper today it said that the actress who plays her is now dating the actor who plays Warren.

Tonights episode was good, poor Sunita though, im glad she is going to be looked after at her parents. Tracy and Deirdre were good too, I liked that final scene.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, and for it being a departure from the well deserved plaudits for the Dev/Sunita/Maya storyline, but: isn't it tragic that Corrie has lapsed into depicting it's only gay character as a camp man working at a sewing machine with a group of shrill harpies?

At least with Todd and Karl we had realistic homosexual characters.

I am a gay man, but you would not know that if you met me. Like the vast majority, I do not lisp or behave in an effeminate manner. This is not a deliberate act to try to appear straight, it is just my natural demeanour. The fact that I like repairing cars and mechanical things, and can't abide Barbra Streisand or Judy Garland, does not mean I am not gay! Oh, and I don't sing "I Will Survive" either!

And, completely unrelated, it is so good to hear Sunita’s mother pronounce Dev’s name correctly: it should sound like “Dave” not “Dev” as everyone else pronounces it!

Kya aap samashte hai? Nahin, main Bhartiya naihm nun, main Ungres hun!

I get your point - but it's just a character - and more of a comedy character than a serious character - kind of the anti-Karl and Todd. Also note that not every Northern couple is like Jack and Vera, and not every teenage girl gets pregnant at 13, has a serial killer for a step-dad and then sleeps with her gay fiancees brother.

As for Sunita's mum - brilliant - and I'd also like to see them bring in Dev's dad on a permanent basis.
