If they do I say bring back Chris Finch too - though he's in Waterloo Road now, playing another gay character, so maybe he's a bit busy.

I agree. It would be a shame to erase Karl from Todd's history. But without Darran Little there, they probably won't acknowledge him.

I think Chris Finch is only in Waterloo Road for a few episodes, not the whole series.

I see Todd said he was leaving, do you think he should stick around? A gay character who doesn't behave like a Larry Grayson tribute act would be a first


Or even a gay character played by an actual actor and not somebody playing themselves?

Kieran Roberts (executive producer) wants him back and I think it's quite likely he'll be brought back for a long-term contract next year. I reckon they were just testing the waters. Ryan Thomas and Sue Cleaver want him back as well so I guess it's down to him.

Would be great to have him back for good. Fingers crossed...

and if Todd came back, he'd need old bedroom, so maybe Sean would have to move out of the Grimshaws which would lead to one less batch of scenes for Sean to be in

no ,Eileen's two bed terrace will suddenly become a three bed terrace so they will all fit in Rolling Eyes

Like they would let that get in the way. As usual they'd just assume the audience is thick and won't notice.

But Violet is leaving, so one of the three bedrooms will be free for his return. Jason can share with Sean again is he moves back to his Mum's or maybe Sean and Todd would share Rolling Eyes

it only works now Jason has left but before with Eileen, Violet, jason and Sean it didin't work even with the front room used as a bedroom

now David's back in the fold their three bedroom house will now become 4 bedroom to accomodate 5 people (Gail, David, Jason, Sarah and Bethany)

The terraced houses must only have 2 bedrooms upstairs. IIRC Les was going to convert the loft so that Chesney could have his own room. It makes you wonder where all the Barlows slept. Blanche is in the front room, and Tracey had her own. I doubt whether Adam and Peter were bunking in with Ken & Dreary. Shocked

Sarah mentioned tonight that Bethany had been looking forward to getting her own room (until David came back) so I presume she is sharing with Sarah & Jason. It remains a 3-bedroom house then unless they go ahead with the garage conversion plans.

some of the writers suddenly remember sarah has a daughter since she's not been seen since the wedding episode.

today was Sophie's 13th birthday based on the logic that she was born in 1994

obviously they hoped we'd forget that they unexplicably aged her 2 years ago so she'd start secondary school a year early Confused

Yes all of the houses on the Rovers side of the Street have 2 bedrooms. However the houses on the otherside of the street may have 3, the Platt's definately does as it has a bedroom above the garage.

So the Duckworths must be using their front room for Paul. However, some of the houses on the "Rovers" side have kitchen extensions which could be 2-storey and allow for a third bedroom upstairs.

I am convinced Sophie was actually born in 1993, evidence of which I could have backed up (until recently) with my old You Bet! tapes.

And they should have kept her name as Lauren. Just personal preference but certainly more appropriate for what she has grown into.
