Tin O'Brien has quit the show according to the front page of tomorrow's Daily Mirror:

Surprised.


That paper has really gone to the pits... Keith Richards: "I snorted my dad's ashes". Christ!

I doubt Tina is leaving but last I heard, Ryan Thomas was planning to pop the question of marriage to her.

I hope Tina doesnt go. I got fed up of Sarah a few years ago due to the amount of screen time she was getting but now I really like her.

LOL I dont think I like Liam because of his brains! Wink But it was actually Carla who said the houses were standing for over 100 years!


I did think when they were talking about possible subsidence that there was going to be some mention of the original house there collapsing.

Corrie has experimented with a bit of post-production before. I can't remember exactly how many times, but the time which really sticks out in my mind is when Sarah Platt was in a paedophiles house, and as they were trying to get her out i think they did a lot of extra things like music, fast cutting and all.


Yeah I seem to remember Teardrop by Massive Attack playing as Gail came to rescue her.

Yes that was rather good wasn't it. I remember that episode it was great and the end chilling with the rescue.

Rather amusingly, both the Daily Mirror and The Sun are claiming the story as an 'exclusive' today.

I can't say I'm disappointed by this news. I haven't liked the direction they've taken the character in the past couple of years.

That direction would pretty much be round in circles wouldn't it!


Not too bothered about her going, but it's a shame in relation to the development of David Platt - who is now being moulded into a key character on the show - and key characters are nothing unless they have strong characters around them.


P.S. That Joanne stuff was REALLY badly done tonight. You can tell that was written for the benefit of this storyline!

I love Blanche's comment tonight:

"She [Dreary] was so useless on the stand, she even managed to get herself put away when she was perfectly innocent!"

Classic! Laughing
