What's with the 2 new oldies joining the cast ? The old guy that sits in the pub, and I think said his name was Wilf tonight, and Rita's friend (the one who used to be in Family Affairs) ?
I know a lot of comedy comes from the older characters, but don't you think we have plenty of these at the moment without adding any more to the mix ?

I like Doreen because it gives Reet a much needed storyline and she annoys Norris which is always a bonus. 
However what were the scriptwriters thinking tonight when Reet said she wouldnt wed again? Course she would - to another rich fella so she can get all his cash when he snuffs it! Poor Reet after Ted died? Rich Reet more like!

The guy who plays Wilf is the same guy who played Tommy (similar character) in Early Doors - but I'm sure you all knew that.

I think Wilf will part of that new nightmare family, father of that woman who has bought Diggory's old bakery. Something like that anyway

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't take the next cliched step as well:
I hope they dont - that would be taking things too far!
Anyone watch that Corrie behind the scenes thing on ITV1 this afternoon? What was it like?
I didnt bother since a) I was in work when it was on and b) it looked quite rubbish!

I saw the first few minutes - Hollyoaks got a mention on ITV daytime - and even a clip from Kurt and Ruth in it 10 years ago.
Soon switched off though - Terri is alright but Jeremy seemed to be given the role of idiot co-host and I couldn't take more than two minutes of it!
Random generic themetune too - I thought they might have a funky version of the Corrie theme for the occassion (only reason I tuned in really!).

I dont mind Terri Dwyer either but im not keen on Jeremy (Jez) Edwards. I bet they arent even Corrie fans.
