Coronation Street

I had to look to see if it was going to be replaced with a western cowboy program. :071::039:

The last time I saw a whole episode it was in black and white with the three witches from Macbeth ruling the roost in the pub !

Hell Tabby! Don’t they have electricity West of the Moon and East of the sun?

:-D:-D:-D They do - but I binned the TV when we digital because the signal was so appalling. I stopped watching ‘soaps’ years before that though - life’s too short and there are more interesting things to do.:-D:-D:-D

My late mother was an addict - she watched every episode of every soap - even the appalling american ones such as Dallas, Dynasty etc., She even watched omnibus editions of most of them. I think that put me off all together.

I don’t disagree with you there Tabby,
I sit and watch the Street though, because I’m getting tired by then and it’s nice to have a sit down. I record a few things for Mrs Fox but I just can’t justify sitting about watching TV in the daytime. Like you say, life’s too short and there are many more interesting things to do. :069::069::069:

Just watching Sarah lose the plot…barricading the doors, having the locks changed because Callum is coming back even though he’s a corpse.

Absolutely unbelievable storyline.

You could never change locks that quickly.

That’s right. I never even saw a screwdriver in her hand.

Unless you’re the perfect ‘never puts a foot wrong’ Phelan, who has pocketed a huge sum of money and ain’t telling! And if Sarah says she paid him, well, who’s going to believe her?

Yes that’s true Jazzi, she gave him £200.00 and he just put it in his top pocket and never told anyone.

I thought the Platt family would be locked out forever, :lol: And loved all the one liners from the family to the paramedics about Sarah.

As far as one liners go…no one beats Mary.
She’s hilarious.

‘Mother always used to say…’ :lol::lol:

I’m still trying to find out the status of Mother: whether she’s dead or alive. No-one can seem to tell me. :confused:

I did divulge the answer to this…she’s dead…and sat in a rocking chair in Norris’ loft.

Coronation Street used to be about life in a Northern Town but recently it is turning into an episode of Midsomer Murders. Mrs Fox was bawling last night (she thinks it’s real) as Kylie expressed her undying (or should I say Dying) love for the tolerant selfless even tempered David while her life was ebbing away from a stab wound to her chest. Will she never face justice now for the brutal murder of Callum? Will Jason have to spend the rest of his life believing that it was his Dad who stove Callum’s head in with a Monkey wrench. I shall start a petition to open an inquiry into Callum’s death and will testify that I saw, with my own eyes, Kylie deal the fatal blow to the blokes skull.

And when is that snake Felan going to get his comeuppence? I am growing weary as one drama leads into another without conclusion…I demand closure…:-(:-(:frowning:

I feel for you OGF … and poor Mrs Fox
And don’t forget Sarah. When she hears Kylie’s dead she’ll be looking under her own bed for the avenging ghost called Callum.

Come to think of it those Platt’s are jinxed.
David’s first wife now dead from a stabbing.
Gail’s husband died from a stabbing … which set a gruesome trend for all her other suicidal and murderous husbands.
Dying of old age is a thing of the past.

I agree with you there Foxy, but he is a good actor isn’t he. You can really imagine him being a nasty piece of work.

But didn’t David perform well?

I can’t say I was upset; it’s only pretend anyway. No, the feelings I had were that I’d like to see that young yob hanged. I know, I just said it’s only pretend, but such things happen in real life all the time and an 18 year-old would be out of jail before 26 with ‘good behaviour’ and free to live his life for 50 years or more. How many years was Kylie allowed to live?

Where is everyone in the Street? No scenes in the pub, no Tracey being nasty, no Eileen going over to Gail to hand an olive branch, offering condolences?

Seems half the cast are off on their holidays.

But I had to laugh at Yasmeen in the first episode, where…as she said the word ‘grief’ she threw her head back! She is such a hammy actress.

I think recent episodes are representing the coming together of a community after a tragedy, centred on a lost soul or two, who started foul, and came good in the end.:lol::lol:

It just seemed so un-natural that after the tragedy the street was so empty.
