Coronation Street

Anyone know when Jim is due out of the big house. It would be good if the actor agreed to play him again. I can't see Jim getting out early on good behaviour!

Similarly it is realistic on Emmerdale how Billy Hopwood, who murdered Vic Windsor has now come out of prison and is played by the same actor

LOL! It serves him right for going on about him

Well he is in prison for murder so I cant see him being out anytime soon - especially as he escaped a few years ago so would get extra time anyway.

Anyone remember the Corrie Panto in 2005?

Loved Molly's interview with Amber tonight, and all the Claire and Ashley stuff

since when did the peacocks completly renovate their house and put the staircase behind the dining room?

hang on whilst I erase all memories of what Number 4 has looked like for the last 16 years

Last I heard Charlie Lawson was in trouble with the law for drink driving and got a driving ban. I agree though, would be good to see him back pinning Elizabeth to the floor in the Rover's back room so it would.

I'm just trying to think where the staircase was before

Yes, I was a bit confused by that. At first I thought they were just using a reverse angle, but the staircase definitely wasn't where it used to be.

Similarly the layout of Michelle's flat has completely changed between when Steve moved out and she moved in.

Do they think we're thick or something and aren't going to notice stuff like this?

All that has happened in Michelle's flat is that the walls have been removed between the hall, lounge and kitchen making it a bit more open plan (hope the asked Rita first ).

At the peacocks the camera in the living room used to face the back of the house, with the stairs in the far left corner, going up in a dog leg back towards the camera.

Now it looks like they have rearranged number 4 to be a reverse angle of numbers 6 and 8, with the stairs now behind the font door..

they certainly do insult the viewers intelligence and memories when they do complete set changes like that

Corrie did well last night and managed 11m viewers, which was a 48% share. This was for the 7.30 episode, the 8.30 one got 10.5m

EastEnders got 9.6m and a 39% share, Emmerdale 8.7m and a 41% share

And that actor was in Corrie as Steve's previous girlfriend's(the one with the mole on her lip!)psycho husband, who subsquently went to the big house too, along with his wife, after she ran over someone & tried to blame Steve for it!(She was in an episode of the Bill recently too!)
