Coronation Street

[quote="Brekkie Boy"]

I think its relevant as someone who has watched the character for years, regardless of whether she is leaving. Its the difference between 20 years in prison and getting away with murder.

Not sure if its been posted, but here is Sundays ratings
Coronation Street - 9.8m

Don't the ratings dip a little during the summer, across most programmes?

it's probably safer not to

Tracey must be a time lord, she lives in a Tardis and she's regenerated 4 times already

I think its safe to say she gets sent down, although you just never know.

Probably one of the stupidest videos ive made.....Corrie Credits

(Yes the idea is from Australia)

Basically I think the evidence for the defence is flawed, sure she hated Charley. She's lying and David Platt's lying. I know that Kate Ford's leaving but how she leaves I do not know, if she's found guilty like Emmerdale when Andy Sudgen's dad got sent down they'll leave him out the equation for a long time and they'll do the same for her. If she's found innocent she'll leave Weatherfield. You could say that Tracy Barlow will come back but if played by Kate Ford, maybe, maybe not.

Oh dear, Bruce Jones (Les Battersby) has been suspended:

Coronation Street actor Bruce Jones has been suspended from his role in the soap following allegations in a Sunday newspaper.

Mr Jones, who plays Les Battersby on the Street, has been suspended while ITV investigates the allegations made in the News of the World article on Sunday.

The article alleged that Mr Jones had got drunk while with an undercover reporter and made inappropriate comments in a public place.

ITV takes these allegations very seriously and will be looking into them further.

Mr Jones denies the allegations and the context of the comments and is currently taking legal advice about the newspaper article.

Im not surprised after what I read in the NOTW on Sunday. I forgot to post it at the time.

Re the Trial - I really hope that she gets found guilty - apart from the fact she murdered him in cold blood, she has also got away with everything so far so its time she was punished.

What was the nature of the alleged 'inappropriate comments'?

Allegedly it was a drunken 'foul mouthed outburst', he insulted fans and discussed upcoming plots. (Source : The Sun)

BBC News said that he 'swore and discussed the outcome of Tracy Barlow's murder trial, currently a major plot in the long-running show.'

From what I remember though, they also said he told racist jokes and insulted several other people in the pub at the time.

He gave away the verdict in the Tracy storyline

I hope Bruce gets the sack then - Les is a character well beyond his sell-buy-date - he and Cilla should go at the same time somehow, perhaps they pull some major scam and then do a moonlight-flit and leave Chesney to live with Fiz and Kirk (and give them some better scenes if they share a house together).

From what I've seen so far, and I've given it a few shows, I really am not taking to Sinbad and his familly. They just aren't needed.
