More news about the Corrie Spin Off from Digital Spy
"ITV has given the greenlight to a Coronation Street spinoff centred around Todd Grimshaw, the Daily Star claims today.
The one-off would follow Grimshaw, played by actor Bruno Langley, facing "everyday challenges at work, study and romance" as he starts a new life in London.
The character was last seen leaving the cobbles after cheating on fiance Sarah-Louise in a gay affair.
According to the newspaper, the spinoff would be aimed at a gay audience - as well as older Corrie fans - and would be scheduled in a late night slot."
Not sure I like the idea of a Spin Off about Todd, hardly the best character in the show, glad it appears to be a one off.

I just thought I'd share this rather nice description of Corrie from an article on the decline of EastEnders by Lucy Mangan in today's MediaGuardian as it made me laugh...

I'm a Coronation Street fan myself. I'll take the tragicomic camp of Weatherfield over the unrelenting misery of Walford Square any day. From old favourites such as Ken "never knowingly under-cardiganed" Barlow and Deirdre the Ambulant Tendon, to relative newcomers including Kirk 'n' Fizz and Janice Battersby and her flip-top head, I follow them gladly through the cobbled pathways of their interwoven lives and care about their fates to a possibly unhealthy degree.

I just read that article it made me laugh too!
I did enjoy Craig's problems with the tongue piercing tonight, I thought it was done really well! It's a nice little story that one.

I presume the writers got mixed up between a protractor and a compass, quite a lot of people seem to!

Quick geeky observation of an error in Sunday's Corrie (only caught up on video last night)...
Roy was telling Hayley about how a bully at school had stabbed him "with a protractor". How's that possible?

Some people even get confused between a compass and a pair of compasses!
