how come Michelle's flat has a lounge facing Dev's shop and a kitchen directly opposite which faces the viaduct?


Did your eyes fall out? Trapezoids. If in doubt: trapezoids.

The bigger question is how Michelle's hair looks like a shop dummy's rigid plastic wig.

Odd considering she's one of the few females not wearing one.

you're right I should have done that course on Transdimentional Physics.

They had some Dr guy give a lecture on it. Funny thing was one week he was tall and serious with a Manchester accent and the next wek he was shorter, funnier and sounded kind of Scotish Confused

never realised how many members of the young corry cast were in childrens ward as kids
Chris Bisson / Steve Arnold / Vicky Binns / Jane Danson / Paul Fox / Andy Wyment / Tina O'Brien / Chloe Newsome / Nikki Sanderson / Alan Halsall.

apparently Steve Arnold used to sneak onto the corry set hide in one of the back yards and have a crafty fag during breaks in filming Shocked

Mardy Michelle spent all that time in Ireland having her hair lacquered-- probably why it's so shiny all the time.

I think Julia Haworth is a decent actress, it's just the storylines she has been given of late that have made her irritating. I appreciate that the abduction storyline was hastily rewritten, but that was three months ago-- I would've thought the writers might have got their act together by now. It's been dragging on way too long.

Ashley was a good character I think, but he again he's been tainted badly by this storyline as well I feel. With Kirk in the butchers, once again we have potential for Ashley to be a foil to another comic character, Kirk. I think ought to be doing that, not whining at Clurrr and pouting at Casey (minus her sunshine band Wink )

don't forget it was a hastly rewriten storyline

I'm finding the storyline with steve and the transvestite photo really annoying, he could do without so called friends like lloyd and jamie using it as an excuse to wreck his relationship with michelle

why the hell didn't eileen destroy the photos when she picked them up, it's just a pathetic storyline


I agree - Eileen would've destroyed them after the first close call with the pics the other day - how many episodes has this taken to come out? Drawn (yawn) out or what? Now there'll be a tedious week's worth of them falling out and then getting back together again...

The Mortons are a bore - I don't think Sinbad and Eileen will go together at all well.


I agree. I hate this "storyline" with Steve, Michelle and the holiday photos. I find Steve and Michelle a boring and irritating couple.

I also agree about Jerry and Eileen. I dont think they will work well together at all.

I did like Carla's comments about the lie detector, and Rosie/Carla/Sally at the factory was good. I also dont mind the Casey/Ashley/Claire storylinen but wont be sorry to see it end.

i'd like to know why the sudden lolly adiction, firsty Dev in the shop doing his kojack impersonation and now Steve in the rovers

and was was all that about Dev and salad cream?

never mind culling the characters, try culing some of the script writers

I was thinking of getting my hair cut like that. Maybe not now.

Reet's back! Why no mention of the holiday before tonight then? Im sure they must have written her out at short notice especially as Doreen had her lines last week.

A much better episode tonight than Mondays although still too of the Steve and Michelle yawn fest. I loved Sally's reaction to Carla telling her Rosie was leaving school and then her reaction to Rosie telling her the same thing. Also Ashley was a bit out of order shouting at Kevin in the pub I thought.

That's one thing about Ashley, which has always grated on me about Ashley, his "annoyed" mode-- the aggressive squeaks through gritted teeth he often adopts. Least we were spared Clurr's histrionics for a couple of episodes.

I liked Carla's and Sally's little bitchfest over Rosie, saved an otherwise bland episode IMO. Steve is OK, I think its Michelle's persistent mardiness that irritates me; Steve really ought not to pick another woman with a massive chip on her shoulder!

I presume Babs must have been taken ill then? Confused

that's not a chip, that's her hair Laughing
