Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

i'd rather go to asda and stand in the hygeine aisle and look at the soaps there...

i mean fair enough its meant to b a dramatic episode etc but 3?! surely u'd get more suspense if u drag it across a week instead of peakin in a day?

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Is that rubbish still on t.v. then? Thank God I am no longer forced to watch this dross, there's alot to be grateful for no longer having to share the telly with a soap lover.

:cheers:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

that explosion was flawed majorly in continuity

firstly as the explosion triggered the stuntman actually moved closer to the car

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Horrornation Street ... somethings ya just don't miss. Does each character have to say 'hotpot' at least once an episode?

Maybe a should apologise ahead at this point .....

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Why apologise...............lol

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I did not watch last nights amateur dramatics. I am getting a bit fed up with Soaps, Coronation Street in particular. They and the people in them take themselves far too seriously for it to be enjoyable. When I watch a soap I want a laugh, a bit of salacious gossip and a bit of a bitch fest. I don't want some half-arsed attempt at gritty social realism. Soaps are "bad taste". and the only thing that makes bad taste palatable is going "over the top" with it. A prime example in the field was the American series "Dynasty", which was so far "over the top" it became ART!

What soap isn't about, is real people living real lives. God knows we get enough of that everyday of the week. What happened to the studied nastiness of Ena Sharples or the fragile pretensions of Annie Walker?

And don't get me started on Eastenders or we will be here all day.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

You have no taste.:p

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

You for got Albert Tatlock A-b. Nobody could mutter as incoherently as Uncle Albert. And what about Leonard Swindley and the Glad Tidings Mission? Ah them were't'good old days.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Exactly. And Hilda Ogden, a figure of fun and ridicule and yet there was not a dry eye in the country when she lost Stan. True pathos brought out of bathos. And weren't we shocked to watch Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner scrapping in the street?

It strikes me that the current crop of soap celebrities, especially the younger ones, are very good at only one thing - playing themselves.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

all these kids in corrie they're story lines are as follows

boy girl start dating. new boy comes and impresses girl. girl is tempted and decides to go on a date. at this point things get heated and we see a bit of nookie. at this point the girl either decides to go all the way and ends up having his baby or backs out and goes back to original boy with no guilt and if anything happiness that she's made the rite choice despite a nookie.

boy1 boy 2 meet. boy 1 is gay boy2 isnt. boy1 hits on boy2. boy2 gets angry. boy1 apologises and then bad mouths him to everyone that he is gay.

girl girl meet neither are lesbians yet one drunken night... and then girl1 gets curious whilst girl2 doesnt care. girl1 gets upset and in a climax fight tells everyone at the pub that they kissed etc. next day no one remembers and carries on as normal.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Uncle Albert would have had plenty to mutter about there. Not to mention the speeches Ena would have made to Minnie and Martha in the snug.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Martha Longhurst

(sexy)!

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

There's nowt wrong with soaps, i love them.
If that makes me a sad you know what, then i'd best get out the tissues. LOL.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

it doesnt make u a sad so and so

we're just sayin 3 episodes in 1 day is too too much

and then to think 2morro or whenever they've got another double episode...

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

and a week later her (previously unmentioned) teenage daughter appears from Brighton

All the soaps are the same - you see one for about 6 months and you've seen them all. I used to watch EE, but got bored.

The only things I watch now on a regular basis are Spooks, Hustle and Formula 1 (when they're on, of course), plus the odd film

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I am with pixie on this. I must admit Maya's Mad Monday was an unmissable treat and Ant & Dec inbetween made my Monday!

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

and there's two more episodes of corrie on tonight 7.30 and 10pm. Yippee

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Oh dear must we suffer this untold dross for ever more. Lets turn it off and do something with our (your) lives......Get laid or go for a walk in the rain do something other than watch this, this.............crap, Just an opinion.:rolleyes: ;) :p :)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I like the programme, there's also two episodes on Friday at the same time. So all i can say is..... Sod off Doug (lol)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

it was gd tho

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Excuse me? but the last time I used a phrase like that the thread was closed, I hope we can see the same happen to such a mediocre thread as one about soaps, OH, REFEREE!
:rofl38: :wave8:

Come on Doug, It's high horse time lets get on it & ride into the sunset!
:cursing: :cool8:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

What again.......yes dear.:rolleyes:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I can't ride...........:rolleyes: :)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Roll On 10 'o' Clock

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I can do that after 10.30 tonight.:rolleyes:




Hear hear!!:D

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I'm clock watching.
Can't miss my extra helping of Corrie.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Is it over yet.......:bangh8: ..:smack:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

OK - I never watch it normally but I have to ask:

Who is Charlie?

Was he in the Corner Shop?

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Willow why????? :eek: Don't give in to this evil infulence, resist temptation.........:unsure8:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Alas today I have found it very difficult to resist temptation - just ask Busman what happened when I saw a choux bun. (or two)

So come on - whoever watches it, what happened to Charlie and who is he?

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Sorry busman I'll will have to choux this one over. hahahahahahaha :)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

currynation streets getting better all the time a bit more comedy in it now.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Charlie is the local builder, who is currently shacked up with Shelley. He ran into the corner shop with Ciaran to save the couple from the explosion.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

You mean it's over :D ?????????????? Have they blown the bloody place up :eek: Is it gone forever :) Wow, brill, how lucky is that......:rolleyes: :rolleyes:.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

What is it about soaps that attract people?

They are not real life. They will not affect your life if you don't watch it - ie you will not die, and your children will not die, and your partner will not die.

You are more likely to be afflicted with some deadly disease from watching too much tv, instead of getting out and doing something constructive.

If you want entertainment, I am sure you will find plenty at the Arndale Centre!!!

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

there better than watchning nothing, some episodes are good.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

If there's nothing on, we use a special button on the remote control. It's called an 'Off' button!:D

Then we go and do something else

Like post here:cool:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

These script writers are so formulaic. They should show a little more imagination and start 'thinking outside of the box'...

Why couldn't this bunny-boiling trollop called Maya be a nuclear physics research student from UMIST? Then her best endeavours could have wiped Coronation Street off the map, and the Tv schedules.

That would be cause for party-hats & streamers, Jelly & custard. :wave8:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

It's been on for 40 years they must be doing somethig right.
better than that other programe that should have been called

When i get out of here i will be a celebrity for has beens.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

No it's not that.

ITV need something to put in their schedules, and that is the best they could come up with.

Sad, really

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Besides been a builder he is also a downright b**tard. He should have being in the cornor shop when it had blown.

Roll on Friday for the next two episodes.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I have missed it all this week because of having to work. What happened????:D

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I have missed it all this week because of having to work. What happened????
come on lettie get a life:drink: have a beer its only make believe, bet you cryed at the film like lassy come home,and programs like the waltons,little house on the prarie and black beauty on a sunday night eh!!!lol.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

You missed nowt! Not a jot!
The world keeps turning. The sun comes up, the sun goes down. Corrie is just as predictable as these naturally occurring phenomena. :rolleyes:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Lol!!!! I have to protest at that assumption Staggers. I can quite categorically state that I have never shed a tear at Lassie, The Waltons, Little House and Black beauty. Even Old Yeller failed to do it for me.:D I do recall once blubbing at an advert, but can't remember which one, and I can always be counted on to do a Niagara Falls impersonation at a stage musical, bawled like a baby during Phantom of the Opera...:)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Watch tomorrow Willow.
You'll soon be hooked.
Charlie is a sleezy builder.
Lives with Shell in the rovers.
Go on watch Willow.
You know you wanna.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I'm a hopeless case Lettie.
I broke my heart watching short circuit.
Cried buckets watching the western Soldier Blue.
Hankie always to hand during weepy bits.
Guess I is just an old softie.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

:drink:how the beep can you cry at something that you cant translate or understand what the beep is going on:bleedht:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I cried at Phantom too and so did most of the people who went with us.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

What do you mean? Phantom is in English - At least it was when I went in 1997.

And I expect it will be English in the cinemas (due for release early December)

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Maybe he's confusing "stage musical" with "Italian opera" ?

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Very possibly

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

All you Corrie-philes out there, was it worth stopping in all those nights last week and stagnating your brains?

What was the outcome? Is Dev gonna open a chain of Kee-bab shops? :rolleyes:

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I missed it all......was in Cornwall......surfin!

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

Well..... not surfin when Corrie was on...... but surfin during the day and knackered at night.

Re: 3 bloody episodes of corrie?!
 

I can safely say that in spite of watching the incredible store burning episodes I have managed not to become hooked.

I can quite easily live without the soaps. Maybe the short burst of things like "Celeb" are more appealing because I know they won't hook me on a permanent basis.
