Coronation Street

thought it looked familar.

so the peacocks house has been rebuilt in the latest designer MDF and the stairs have stayed put, I still think it would have made more sense to move them as a result of the fire rather because they looked better on the other side of the room should the house catch fire

they will have to be rebuilt though, they're too narrow to fit the cot up now Ashley has assembled it in the living room

some interesting new views for the break bumpers

wonder if the twins got to keep the presents

Well both Big Mo from EastEnders and Audrey from Corrie want to bring back National Service on the same day. Great Minds think alike!

Fred will be turning in his grave, I say turning in his grave, watching Kirky running the Butchers single handedly. They should have brought back Borris

Not sure what they are going to do with David long term, one of these days someone on Corrie may get a GCSE (well besides Todd & Toyah but they both left shortly afterwards)

"Not sure what they're going to do with David..."

How about they set fire to him?

Last time we saw Boris, was when he fell off the ladder trying to put up that sign on the butcher shop's facade a couple of Christmasses ago (resulting in a broken arm). I always thought he and Ashley made a good double act onscreen, wonder why he hasn't appeared on screen recently. He often gets mentioned-- he'd be more entertaining than most of Sinbad's kids.

Good Blanchism tonight :
"So then Blanche, what's your poison?"
"Strychnine. Make yours a double".

Is that Newton & Ridley sign on the side wall of the Rovers new?

A good question! I think it appeared only in the past couple of years... not sure though?

The "Newton & Ridley" text on the Rovers sign was put there some time in September last year IIRC, but I've never seen the sign plastered onto the side of the wall. If they've just put it up, it seems odd - wasn't the Rovers made a free house (i.e. not Newton & Ridley owned) just before Jack & Vera took over it?

If you're lucky enough to be on a PC and using IE7, you can check out the new official Corrie site:

http://preview.itv.com/soaps/coronationstreet/

Complete with entire episodes of recent 'classics' like Killer Katy, Mad Maya, Hillman etc. Liking the new episode updates too: here.

And the classic Reg Holdsworth waterbed episode. Liking the new site.

The new site is great! I don't believe it, ITV have actually got something right for a change!.

The streaming is good, very clear, excellent sound quality. The only thing that's irritating me is that awful 30 second "Fiends" Reunited advert you have to go through before anything starts! Grrr

I agree - apart from this platform issue, the site is very good. Nice clean design, great player and I loved watching some of the classic episodes. Will be better once it's rolled-out across the entire site.
