Coronation Street

It should be made illegal to portray homosexual activity on TV…Especially on soaps, it’s disgusting!..:018:

I have nothing against gays, but why don’t they keep it behind closed doors.

I think they like to proudly flaunt the fact that it is now legal.

And it would seem that every family is not complete without the obligatory gay JB…If I was ever to consider going to church the thought of bumping into a Billy would certainly put me off. He gives religion a bad name…And he makes my skin crawl…:107:

Me too. Of course it’s trendy now, so we’re not allowed to express our personal opinions!

Actually, the medical profession would agree. The lower opening of the pelvis is correctly termed the ‘pelvic outlet’ for obvious reasons. In fact, I’m surprised that they’re still allowed to use that description any more!

Billy is quite creepy regardless of whether or not he’s gay.
He must be the only Archdeacon (I hope!) that hangs around in pubs and cafes and devotes far more time to his tangled love life than his congregation.

In real life he was partners with Daniel, Ken Barlow’s son, but their romance was short lived.

No Corrie tonight. In fact, no nothing but programmes about Prince Phillip. ITV and BBC have changed their schedules completely.

I agree with all that. :slight_smile:

Yes Percy, older sis and I agree we will have to resort to recorded shows for later.

Now, here’s a thought. Was watching a classic Corrie earlier, where Steve was still trying to be with Fiona, and she’d brought home a baby son, Morgan. Steve wasn’t the father. I haven’t heard Emma talk of him, her half brother, but couldn’t the writers include the lad in future story lines? Do a search for a suitable actor for the part?

Ain’t watched it for yonks and had no withdrawal symptoms, more than can be said for some of the Actors in the show.:lol:

Marge and I have just watched tonight’s episode (on catch-up).
It was so uninteresting, as is typical these days, that at the end we both realised that we’ve sat through an hour of complete boredom without anything actually sinking in.

Same old, same old every episode.

We both just looked at each other and, almost simultaneously, suggested that we don’t bother with it any more! :roll:

There are only so many “Street” scenarios to run through. I will start watching again when there is a Robot Invasion.:wink:

Mind you, that would be just like watching Dr Who, just not centric based.:slight_smile:

Oh JBR, I so agree with you. Even I didn’t bother with the last few minutes, snuggling down to doze on the sofa instead. That Alina’s voice is grating on me. I have no interest in Nina and Seb. None in Fiz, Ty and the young girl. I don’t like Emma, or the character. Too dozy. Couldn’t care less about Dev or his children. And I don’t like Sharon. The tv mags have already given away what she’s doing back on the Street. Frankly I don’t care.

So in future I might stop watching.

I suppose the best thing we could do would be to keep an eye on the TV mags just in case the writers have come up with something worth watching.

Otherwise, there are plenty of good programmes available, like one we’ve just started watching: The Indian Doctor (set in Wales, not India!).

I watched recent re-runs of The Indian Doctor. Enjoyed that, as I do like Sanjeev Bhaskar.

I cant stand Helenas character and her voice makes me want to slap her. She’s a terrible actress. I might start watching classic corrie, I dont like todays anymore

Do you mean Alina? If so, I agree with everything. :lol:

Now that’s a good idea that hadn’t crossed my mind.

It must be so long ago that I saw any of them (and my memory isn’t too good anyway!), so I might just do that.

Of course, they had far better storylines in those days and also fewer and better characters - without any of today’s PC!

I’ll suggest it to Marge.

Yes, thats the one, Helena, Alina, can’t stand either x

Is that the Goth from Roy’s cafe?
