I just didn't like the type they were portraying. Predatory, arrogant, and so sure he knows what someones sexuality is just because he's had his end away with him.



Yeah, because there's no predatory, arrogant gay men out there........

Well, the triple bill of episodes on May 24th is being branded as "Fight Night" as all hell breaks loose.

This looks hilarious, Gail and Eileen slogging it out on the cobbles, how undignified. Laughing

CORRIE bosses will screen THREE explosive, violent episodes on one night.

It’s part of the Todd Grimshaw and Sarah Platt storyline as things turn nasty when Todd reveals he is gay.

The scene will be set on Sunday May 23 with the confession that Todd (Bruno Langley) has slept with nurse Karl (Chris Finch).

This will be followed by a treble bill fight night on Monday.

In the first episode, stunned Sarah (Tina O’Brien) attacks Todd.

Then his mother Eileen clashes with Sarah’s mum Gail before Todd has a fight with Sarah’s brothers Nick and David.

An insider said: “The story has been building for such a long time it explodes into fantastic scenes."

Who's Warren and Jamie? Are they offspring of Frankie and Danny? I know I've said this before but I'm so dreading the arrival of Bradly Walsh, I've never seen him act thoughso I just hope he's detached enough from his smarmy game show host persona. However, it sounds like they are going to make his arrival "upset" several people in the street, so if he's going to be a dislikeable character then there's no hope.... look how they managed to lose Tommy as a character after his 2 dimentional thug character was all we ever got.

From the spoilers, looks like its going to get pretty nasty for Todd, I don't think there's much for him to stick it out in Weatherfield for so it's best he goes.

On a different note, if Sally is so keen to send her kids to private schools, why doesn't she get a job to help pay for it - I'm amazed Kevin hasn't suggested it.

Bradley Walsh appeared in Night and Day for about 9 months, playing Woody Dexter - he wasnt a bad actor (even though i hated his character) but he wasnt overly brilliant! Same with Shane Ritchie, why is it that no-one seems to realise he was in Night and Day before joining eastenders??

Bradley also did an episode of MIT last year too !

Where did you hear that Joe?

Ive not heard that, but it may take a break and go down to 4 eps during the summer.

I think someone mentioned it on here a few weeks ago, it started a "too many episodes = less quailty" debate as I remember! Can't be bothered to trail back through all the pages though - I do hope it reduced to 4 again on a permanent basis though.

Just read on digital-spy that Cilla and Les are to marry...

I'd hoped she'd gone for good, ok she made an impact but she doesn't strike me as a sustainable long term character.

Anyone know if she is due back?
