Coronation Street

It was.

I quite like the story with Claire and Casey and its obviously leading up to something.

I didn't know Forest Gump came from Pudsey! His hair's not quite as bad Jamie "Worzel Gummidge" Baldwin though

Regarding Bill Tarmey, he's had a lot of heart trouble AIUI-- I think he had a major bypass operation a few years ago?

Looks like the actor that played Cain Dingle in Emmerdale is set to join Corrie according to this.

Not sure how I feel about that, the problem with casting well known actors from other soaps is it's hard to see past their previous roles.

We already have Sinbad, now we might have Cain. I think I preferred it when soaps cast relative unknowns.

I prefer it when they cast unknown actors as well. It wasnt so bad with VIcky Binns as Molly as there was quite a gap between her part in Emmerdale and Corrie - and now I only think of her as Molly.

Mike Baldwin's son mark and wife Linda were played by ex emerdale actors

Quite a few have switched from Emmerdale to Corrie, but I think it's the state of the business that soap actors, however hard they try, often end up remaining soap actors.

The Bill is filled with EastEnders stars, while Holby and Casualty take the leftovers.

I wouldn't describe him as anything like a "hunk" and the constant storylines in Emmerdale with him seducing women lacked credibility for that reason.

Coronation street is the best and number 1 soap!

Don't you think we know that?

What a great episode tonight - just highlights what a fantastic actress Anne Kirkbride is.

Throughly enjoyed tonights episode. They should do more two handers.

If EastEnders can only respond with Ian Beale being threatened in the toilets by one half of the Bully Brothers, of course it is!
