I thought that it was unbelievable that none of the prospective apartment buyers investigated the progress of the ‘building works’. Somebody in the writers’ room slipped up there ! Some of the story lines are quite ludicrous! Would never happen in real life, so why can’t the writers write about stuff that can actually happen ?
I think I must be a masochist ! Coronation Street is total rubbish really, can be compulsive viewing for all that, if only to find out what ludicrous incidents occur in the next installment ! I have to say, in it’s defence, that there are one or two good acting bits, and probably those are the times that carry this soap on and keep it going !
It is good that the producers keep a couple of ‘light’ characters in the series, as they offset the black doom-laden aspects of some of the storylines. Like Mary and Norris in Coronation Street. Rita used to be prominent with her hilarious ‘one liners’, but for some reason she seems to have been pushed onto a back burner, which is a shame.
I like the idea of a naughty vicar character on Coronation Street.
It reminds me of how we learnt how to make a moving ‘naughty vicar’ model out of a cigarette packet when I was a young man! I wonder if anyone else remembers that.
Actually, I remember now it was called the ‘randy vicar’.
My memory is dim now, but I do remember it was the inner sleeve of a cigarette packet, they type that folded up and tucked in at the top and bottom. I don’t think they do them like that now, though.
You fold it in half, lengthwise, and tear/cut half-way in, upwards from the bottom up to the second fold. Then when you pull down the bottom (his legs)… er… something happens.
Yes I remember that JB, you could work the sleeve in and out to make it look like…Well anyway.:shock: No flip top packets in those days…
So Billy has told the Bishop to shove the job so he can jog off into the sunset with the love of his life…Todd…But how is he going to earn a living now? What skills does he possess to make it in the real world? Perhaps a ‘White Goods Salesman’ or a ‘White Collar Worker’ I don’t think I would have given up my career for Todd, he’s not that reliable is he.
Nick’s seen the green eyed monster after Leanne has been spending a lot of time with Peter.
Well I don’t blame him really because this is Peter the Monogamist who has a woman in every port, definitely something brewing there. I imagine Leanne would be easy though she has been laid by just about every bloke on the cobbles, except for Roy perhaps, I don’t think he knows what it’s for…
We didn’t have computer games in those days Flower, we had to make up our own games like Tin Can Tommy…Or attach a rolled up fag packet through the spokes of a bike to make it sound like a motor bike and then race each other…The good old days.
Ha ha I didn’t mean that … I meant the vicar and Todd.
That storyline is so stupid anyway … as if a well educated man like a vicar who spends his life talking and counselling people hasn’t realised that Todd is the biggest rogue and nastiest piece of work in Wetherfield. All the people available and he falls in love with Todd.
