Coronation Street

Have you not been reading the tabloids?

On This Morning the soap expert announced that they are planning a huge wedding this year, and its not Deirdre and Ken or Maria and Tyrone, its infact Les and Cilla.

Also in the papers yesterday there were pictures of Ray Langton returning to work at Corrie after a 27 year absence, and pictures of the actor who plays Tommy with a head "wound" and "stage blood"pouring from his ear, during a break from filming.

Fantastic! I really can't wait for this. It'll be such a 'classy do'!

What a bitch Cilla was in last nights episode selling Schmeichel like that, everyone loves Schmeichel.

It looks like we have a lot of cast changes over the next few months

Leaving

Tommy
Katy
Angela
Craig
Ciaran
Warren
Adam (may not return)
Penny (may not return)
Sonia
Patrick
Dev (long term break)
Tracy Barlow (end of 2005)

Returning

Ray Langton
Bev Unwin
Jim McDonald (maybe)
Maya (hopefully but unlikely, although it has been suggested she may return)

Anyone I missed?

I'm convinced the woman Cilla sold Schmeichel to has previously appeared in Corrie as another character. She looked really familiar. The only person who springs to mind is the fancy-piece that Don Brennan was seeing when he had his car crash. I may be completely wrong though. Either way, please someone put my mind at rest - it's really bugging me!

i checked the credits and the actress name is Jayne Tunnicliffe and according to the IMDB she hasnt been in Corrie before but has been in Clocking Off.

The actress who played Julie Dewhurst (who had an affair with Don) was Su Elliott

That's probably where I've seen her. Thanks for the info Jez!

Well, essentially Corrie is just losing one family and a couple of other part-time actors. It shouldn't affect the Street too much and hopefully they will introduce some new characters.

A lot of the long-timers are still there and even though they have gone through some strong storylines recently it is still easy to watch it especially with the GOTH storyline (lol) and the Schmiecal episode! It doesnt have to be big stories ALL the time nor doom and gloom like EE!

CORRIE: 1ST GAY COUPLE
Feb 6 2005
By Alan Rimmer


CAMP Corrie factory boy Sean Tully is to get a screen boyfriend - giving Weatherfield its first-ever gay couple.

Real-life gay actor Antony Cotton has been a massive hit with bosses who signed him up to play cheeky machinist Sean.

Now they have rewarded him with a lucrative new contract and by introducing one of Sean's old flames to beef up his storylines.

Shaven-headed actor Nick Moss will play Louis, a once-besotted boyfriend from the past. A Street insider said: "Antony has been incredibly popular with viewers who say they would dearly love for Sean to have a relationship, and Corrie bosses have responded."

Actor Nick, 24, who is straight in real life, turns up in the Street to tell Sean that the dog they bought together, Shandy, has died.

The Corrie source said: "Sean is beside himself with grief and this eventually brings the couple close together again."

They arrange a burial and as they lower the tiny coffin they break into the Barry Manilow hit Mandy... substituting Shandy for Mandy.

The source added: "It's a really tender storyline full of pathos. Classic Corrie."

Don't know if this has already been said, but anyway.

My Sun sources infrom me that:

Tommy forces Katy to have an abortion ot loses the baby, either way it's his fault cos...
She kills Him!
Then committs suicide

Don't know if this is the right person but; the pig ugly woman who eats dog food in Cutting It?
