What's On TV is based in London, so I suppose it's easier to get hold of EE stars for photoshoots; than it is for Coro or E'dale



Well, there is a thing called the Internet nowadays which you may have heard of which makes excuses like that pathetic!

Forget the junk food ads, the TV mags should be banned from using the soaps as their cover pics week in, week out!

Maybe thats because the likes of Shane Ritchie and Nigel Harman have left they dont have as many people on EE who sell covers anymore so use Corrie more often, not that im complaining.

For information the Whats on TV covers this year have been;

Issue 4 - 28th Jan-3rd February - Sarah and RIchard Hillman
Issue 6 - 11th-17th February - Tracy, Charlie and Amy
Issue 8 - 25th Feb-3rd March - Ashley and Joshua
Issue 27 - 8th-14th July - Shelly and Charlie
Issue 28 - 15th-21st July - Claire, Ashley and baby
Issue 32 - 12th-18th August - Sarah and Jason (wedding issue!)
Issue 38 - 23rd-29th September - Shelly and Charlie
Issue 47 - 25th November-1st December - Danny
Issue 48 - 2nd December-8th December - Charlie and Tracy

So Charlie has been the most featured Corrie star this year with 4 covers. Notice a pattern that we often get 2 or 3 covers within the space of 5 or 6 weeks and then nothing at all for up to 18 weeks!

You can get from Manchester to London by train in about 2.5 hours so there is no excuse really. A lot of the time EE use the same photos so I dont think they have a photo shoot for every single cover anyway.

As for the TV Mags well its tends to be the cheaper ones that use soap covers every week (Whats on TV, TV Easy, TV Choice) so they obviously aim at soap fans. Magazines like Radio Times and TV and Satalite week dont use soap covers at all, apart from the very odd occasion.

I don't think the outcome to this has been revealed, we just know he's going!

This Kabin Graffiti storyline is a bit far-fetched isn't it? That everynight someone is painting a full design on the Kabin walls and windows, it's hardly just a little 'tag' is it?

And then the fact that Rita doesn't seem to care!

As long as she has her money she doesnt care! Notice how she refused to pay half for that thing Norris got tonight and wouldnt let Blanche have a discount on the newspaper!

That was excellent at the end with Danny walking away into the darkness - a change from the usual back a taxi job when a character leaves! Still sad to see him go Sad Im glad they didnt kill him off in the end as now there is hope Bradley will return.

That stuff with Norris tonight wasnt that good though, maybe because I wanted to see more of Danny and Jamie. Emily lines were amusing though, not usually a fan of Emily but she was good tonight.

And Frankie gettting worried about Jamie and Frankie - well its a bit late to be worried now. Shame it wasnt her that was leaving tonight and not Danny.

So far I like Carla - it helps that the actress is a familiar face to Dream Team fans like myself and she was always my fave in DT. And she put crabby and Sally in their places tonight. Smile

how could tracy see noris looking at her when he was sat in the dark across the road she she had the light on. All she would have seen is her own reflection in the window.

I thought that. It seemed so far fetched and the storyline is just a load of rubbish really. Cant they come up with something better for Emily, Reet and Norris.

The Graffiti storyline is a bit boring, I agree, though I did enjoy tonight's episodes. Regarding Danny's exit, I too agree that it did make a change from the usual "Taxi exit", with Danny walking off into the darkness.
