Coronation Street on ITV

Next week is gonna be amazing. Here are a few preview videos.

R2, Coronation Street is also on CBC in Canada. There is a great gay storyline currently on the soap too.

Oh and btw, R2, this site might be American but there are posters from all over the world, some of them happen to live in the UK.

[quote]Oh and btw, [R2], this site might be American but there are posters from all over the world, some of them happen to live in the UK.

Well, they all seem to want to talk about Coronation Street, don't they?

R5, I started this thread because someone on the other thread was sick of the Canadian pace, they're two weeks behind. You're right. It doesn't seem to be very active. Oh well.. it was worth a try.

It is worth a try, R6, thanks. It was really annoying discussing it at Canadian pace.

I thought last night's episodes were a mess. Is it possible David suffered a head traa after Todd knocked him down on the stairwell? And the guy who murdered Kylie was 15? No fucking way. He looked at least 19.

Good God, Sean needs to get the fuck out of Weatherfield. Anthony Cotton is such a horrible actor.

R7, I think I belong in the minority, because I liked the episodes. They weren't perfect though. I felt that Kylie's funeral came second to everything else going on, and therefore it wasn't as emotional as it should have been. That said, I did love Sean finding out about Billy and Todd. I wish the scene was longer though and that Todd and Billy were even more affectionate, because the scene wasn't really that revealing. This wasn't Eileen listening to them making out on the radio. On the other hand, I get it, he was with Billy for a very long time, and when he said "you never looked at me like that", he just knew and it made sense. Still wish the scene was longer though. They didn't even include the frame from the spoiler pic in the scene. I think the scene was cut.

Anyway, and then there was Todd vs David. I loved those scenes. I love it when Todd gets conniving and mean like that. The "old" Todd never left. He was there the whole time. He cares about his family (and Sean, Sarah, Billy, Tracy etc) and will do anything to protect them. Bruno Langley (Todd) and Jack P. Shepherd (David) were fantastic, great acting.

PS: yes, Antony Cotton is a horrible actor. I was surprised to find that a lot of people actually praised his acting yesterday! I wonder if they confuse praise with pity though. I'm sure they pity Sean and feel bad for him. I think Antony Cotton does "ok" when he plays angry, but the scene in the church was awful, he didn't even bother trying to act heartbroken and upset. His voice broke several times and it just sounded so fake. It was horrible to watch.

Bruno is now also doing music

..........

Lets continue the conversation from the other thread.. Bruno Langley, do you think he's straight, bi or gay? I sadly think he's straight. He clearly enjoys kissing though! lol.

r11 here

R12, like I said I didn't think he was gay (he could be lying but I don't think he is). I guess it's possible he's bi, but I doubt it. He certainly must be a good actor though because he's using tongue while kissing another guy, you will never see that with Aaron and Robert (both played by straight actors) on Emmerdale.

R8, all good points.

Bruno Langley is straight. It's sort of a waste of energy to argue this. He sure does have gayface, though. The lead in the film Pride physically resembled him a lot and he's actually American.

Yeah, I said he was straight on the other thread too. It's amazing how he's so not afraid to kiss another bloke though, like with tongue and all. Very few actors go this far. I guess that just means he's a good actor though.

Back on topic now after setting the record straight on his sexuality. Do you think we'll ever get a scene like this with Todd and Billy? I'm skeptical because the Todd & Marcus scene got so many complaints. I can see a potential gay sex scene with Billy and Todd being even more controversial as Billy is a vicar. Also.. the gay kissing with Billy and Todd has already gotten complaints, so not sure if they're willing to take the risk.

Billy's a vicar so maybe not.

It's really hard to like Antony Cotton on the show, he's such a limited (mostly awful) actor. He counters criticism from gay people of Sean by basically saying his critics are self hating homos, They can't stand seeing a camp gay character who is happy and confident on prime time tv, that kind of stuff. He plays Sean like some hyper 13 year old girl. There was a glimmer of something more on Monday's episode. Grow up Sean!

What do you mean glimmer of something more? Ok, so he was good when he was angry and shouting at Billy. Antony Cotton often is, maybe it comes natural to him, idk. But did you hear his voice while talking to Billy in the church? It broke several times. It just sounded so fake and insincere. It wasn't believable at all.

Just watched the funeral episodes. Kylie's coffin being carried into the church to the sound of "Bootylicious" did make me LOL. The whole thing felt a bit convoluted, though - would Todd really have laid into David like that at his wife's funeral, regardless of the circumstances? It was like they decided to pack an unnecessary amount of drama into two episodes.

R17, come to think of it they nearly had a sex scene already. I mean.. they were on the bed making out while Todd was undressing Billy. They could have just cut it off there and then we could see them get dressed the next day, it wouldn't be too raunchy and would probably be something people would accept. Maybe they had Billy wait because they knew it would be a touchy subject for the viewers, a gay priest having gay sex! I think maybe they thought it would be easier for people to handle if they were in a serious relationship.

R20, I don't know, maybe Todd's behavior was a bit unrealistic. It seemed kinda weird because Todd has been so "nice" these last few months. Now all of a sudden we see his bad side again. But the thing is.. the bad side never left. He's just very different with the people he care about, like Billy, Sean, Tracy, Eileen, Jason and not least Sarah. Todd is quite hot headed, he clearly went to the funeral without thinking, Billy stopped him though and they continued the conversation at home.

I guess Sean was starting to look and sound more like a real person, someone in crisis, in distress. He parked the chirpy knicker stitcher stuff for a moment and got real. Even with the handicap of Cotton's acting. I wish he would leave the show. I'm sure he gets countless offers of work every day. Possible not.

R20, I agree with you. Having both Sean's blowing up seeing Todd with Billy as well as Todd blowing up at Sarah and then David at Kylie's funeral was simply too much.

I wonder if one of the two new actors/old characters (Daniel Osbourne and Adam Barlow) being reintroduced on the show this fall will be bi or gay.

R246, yeah, but I don't want another love triangle. Billy and Todd are too good together to get split up.

I still think Rana is hot for Zeedan's dad.

I'm a bit confused about this scene. Does David know about Billy now? I mean, does he know that Todd and Billy are a couple? Did he see them being affectionate too? Or was this all about Billy being there for Sarah and Todd mentioning him because he's tied to the Sarah lie (aka Sarah killing Callum)?

Today's episode was very good but also slightly creepy and there was a lot of foreshadowing. First Sarah's "You deserve a man like Billy, don't mess it up" and then Todd's "everything's different now". Something will happen with Todd and Billy, I just know it. Phelan will probably take revenge on Todd after Todd getting in the way of Phelan's dodgy development plan. Todd not telling Billy the truth about Callum's murder was a huge mistake, something that will cost him deeply in the future. And if/when that happens, Phelan breaking them up I mean, I expect to see a very very dark Todd. Todd is vicious when he loses the people he love. Then the episode ended with David breaking down crying on Kylie's grave while saying he doesn't know how much more he can take. This is probably foreshadowing for David going down a dark path set on revenge according to the spoilers.

I think Billy will end up being the unfortunate victim of either Phelan or David's revenge.

I'm in the U.S. and was streaming it on Hulu, but they discontinued the series this spring (though they still have the back catalogue of 737,000 episodes or whatever it is.) I haven't troubled to watch it on ITV on-demand via ZenMate or other ways; it seems a few steps too many for something I more borderline hate-watched.

Whoever thought it would be a nice idea to have Sean be a self pitying mess for two episodes should be fired. It was nauseating to watch. He made it all about himself, then again that's Sean for you.

R29, I agree, I've had a bad feeling for a while now. For some reason I think the rumors about Daniel Brocklebank leaving are true. I've also read some comments on Facebook and Billy doesn't seem to be a very popular character. Sean has more fans than him. It would be an easy character to get rid of since he's not a part of a legacy family. And you know happiness is fleeting in soapland. When Sarah said "you should let Billy make you happy" and the Todd said "everything's different now" and Billy called him right after, yeah.. it was definitely foreshadowing. Call it a bad omen, but when characters are happy, and they or other people actually say it out loud, you know they're a goner. Case in point, Kylie. She was happy and was gonna move to Barbados with David. Then she got stabbed and died. I have the feeling the same thing will happen to Billy. And Corrie has a new producer now, Kate Oates, who loves to go overboard with her characters. I have a feeling she will have Phelan murder Billy or something just so Todd can be "dark" again, and take revenge on him, sigh.

I'm sorry to hear that r32. In many ways Billy was the anti-Sean. The gay vicar gave him more depth at the introduction. Then he acted like a man, a gay man, when he cleared the Rovers. The fun part was he wasn't reinforcing the Sean stereotype or the stereotype of a soap vicar.

R33, this is just pure speculation though. I still don't think killing off Billy will happen anytime soon. What I think is more likely is a betrayal. I don't think Todd will cheat. Cheating storylines have been done to death, and call me crazy, but I think Todd actually cares about Billy. However, I think there's a reason they didn't have Todd tell Billy about who killed Callum. That information will be used later for more drama. I'm guessing Phelan will somehow find out about it and use it to break up Todd and Billy as revenge.

Sean's self-pity made tonight's double bill absolutely unbearable.

What would Ena Sharples make of all this?

Todd's got Phelan's number, thank God.

They are trying so desperately to make us feel sorry for Sean, but that's impossible with a character who's played by Antony Cotton.

Exactly, R38. Tonight's episodes were a complete disaster because of Cotton.

Yes, R35. I understand that Sean was angry and upset and lashed out on Todd, but never once did he ask how Todd feels, never once did he stop to think that maybe this wasn't that easy for Todd either. Instead he felt sorry for himself and said a lot of horrible things about Todd. Todd was spot on when he said "lets all blame Todd". Even Eileen was on Sean's side. I realize Todd has done a lot of bad things in his past, but this was a real low blow even for Sean, saying Todd "enjoys hurting people". If he truly believes that why were they even friends in the first place? As has been said many times before Todd did nothing wrong. He even feels horrible because he never wanted to hurt Sean. I wish that once in his life Sean would look past his own nose.

Oh, why can't we have Coronation Street here in the US?

Looks like Cucumber is finished on Logo. We have nothing now, unless RuPaul is your thing.

R37, Todd has been onto Phelan for a while. Watch this playlist.

This kiss was really good, too bad they were interrupted. And yes, that is Bruno Langley using tongue. Bruno is supposedly straight irl.

R42, I knew that, I guess what I really meant is that Todd's got Phelan's number re his investing Jason's money into something dodgy.

Oh yeah, R44. Todd can see right through him, which is why Phelan is so intimidated by him.

No Todd & Billy in today's episode but Todd had a few scenes and he looked really good. I don't know why, but a conniving Todd is totally my type.

Such a cliche when Beth tried putting the police application in the bin--in the house. At least she put it back in her bag. So will Craig's jailbird dad be hot looking?

Isn't Beth a jailbird too? I thought that was where she met Tracy.

Was it? Craig would know that, though, wouldn't he?

I don't give a crap about Aiden/Eva or Johnny/Jenny. I want to get Tristan Gemmill drunk and have him inside me quite deeply, though.

Is it just me or has Bruno Langley gained weight? His face is a lot puffier and it looks like he has moobs when he walks. His face was a lot thinner just a couple of years ago.

Here he is fit fat. He's not skinny or muscular per se, but his body is ok, not too bad. Again, this was two years ago. He looks a lot heavier now.

The moobs in action.

He looks fine with moobs, he was too skinny before.

I'm so bored with the Aiden/Eva and Nick/Robert stuff that dominated yesterday's episode. The actress who plays Eva is actually pretty good, but the writers never do anything interesting with her character.

R53, I agree. I was really missing Todd and Billy. The weeks they are not on are just.. boring. Long gone are the show's glory days. All the storylines are awful. No wonder the ratings suck. I suspect that's why they decided on Todd & Billy in the first place, they wanted better ratings, they saw how popular Robron is, and wanted to recreate that.

Btw, here is a new pic of Bruno. I wonder if he has been working out because he does look more toned.

I'm really enjoying watching Gemma now. I loathed her when she first started but her character was such a bully then.

Me too, R55. Gemma has really grown as a character. I missed yesterday's episode, but did this really happen? Phelan is such an idiot, smh. If he wants to be a villain he should know better than to not sh*t talk his girlfriend in front of others so they find out what a nasty peace of work he is. If he goes head to head with Todd then Todd will come out the winner because Todd is actually smart, while Phelan is well.. not.

It's too bad the Andrea Leadsom-Theresa May rivalry ended so quickly-they could have had some fun with Sally as a Leadsom wannabe.

The actress playing Gemma got a great review in one of the UK tabloids today. Good for her.

I couldn't concentrate on tonight's episode at all. I was traumatised by Liz McDonald's hair.

R59 It was a bit like Glenn Close's hair in Fatal Attraction

Why are they shoving Sean down our throats? Why is this unlikable character getting so much screen time? I seriously don't get it. I'd much rather see Todd and Billy, heck, ANYONE else BUT Sean. We haven't seen the other gays for weeks, the Todd & Billy reveal was all about Sean, then after Sean found out we still get MORE Sean while Todd and Billy are nowhere to be found, and they aren't in the spoilers for the next few weeks either. Oh joy.

I think there was a clue in tonight's episode that Zeedan's dad is banging Rana.

At least they were shooting some scenes today. They did in July too, and those should air soon (within the next few weeks).

Another death coming up. Someone close to Maria.

Luke?

I think both Luke and Andy will exit to make room for Adam Baldwin and Daniel Osborne.

They might very well exit but no, the death is not Luke.

It's a bit of a trick question.

Maria's kid, then? That is one awful child actor. Oh, wait, it must be Kaz.

I'll tell you. The dog.

I bet the psycho lesbian kills it because it can sense she's bad news.

I really don't get why they say someone close to Maria will be killed. I wonder if it's to throw people off. Or it might have been a last minute decision, because really there's no going back after making a character a psycho, like Caz. BUT there will be at least another murder I think. The actor playing Michael announced he's leaving, so I assume he will be killed in the explosion later this year.

The Leanna/Steve/Michelle baby storyline is ludicrous. What is this, 1964? Just tell the fucking truth and deal with it!

Read on Facebook that Peter is really the father of Leanne's baby. They got it together when she and Simon visited Peter in Brighton (or Bristol or somewhere) Foe some reason this slipped her mind. It's a tedious storyline.

Ah, R72, so she's further along than she thought? That makes sense. I look forward to Simon abusing his baby brother in the coming years.

That'll be fun Leanne being up the duff with alcoholic Peter's child, I can see Nick really loving that.

Well this was Facebook gossip, so who knows. Amy's measles/chickenpox must play a role in this story.

It already has, R75. It was just a device for Leanne to find out that Liz knew about her pregnancy.

I don't watch but that is some nice kissing right there.

So.. Leanne is back with Nick. It was just a matter of time. I don't mind though as I like them together.

R75, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true though, as I've read the spoilers and apparently there's a surprise coming up that's about Leanne's pregnancy.

That Sharif is a dirty dog. The actress who plays Sonia used to play Meena on EastEnders. And her character was fucking around with her brother-in-law on that, too.

Apparently Todd will move in with Billy. It seems a bit soon though?

Anyone else feel as if Eileen might be a goner?

She should be by having Phelan for a bf. Maybe he offs her when she gets too close to the truth? I like the actress but feel the character really is played out.

I think there should be a cross over with Emmerdale and Robert has an affair with Todd.

New spoilers for Todd & Billy! These are interesting.

Well, R84, at least the lame gay kissing on Emmerdale would be better. Bruno Langley is straight in real life but doesn't mind using tongue. Maybe that's why the gay kissing on Corrie is so much better than on Emmerdale. I also think it helps to have at least one openly gay actor in the role. Dan Brocklebank (Billy) is gay in real life.

What is Billy's secret? What is Sean planning?

Gail is the worst mom on the planet. Damn, she was horrible to Nick. It's HIS choice if he wants to be with Leanne. It's none of her business.

New spoiler pic.

I thought Maria's dog would end up dead in tonight's episode. Is Caz going to kill him to have Maria to herself?

Why do British males in soaps (like Lee on EE and Nick on this one) wear polo shirts buttoned all the way up in summer? It looks geeky.

That Kunta Kinte line really was a klanger.

Dan came across really well here. His "I prefer kissing boys" comment was adorable.

He seems like a really sweet guy. But he still has the unfortunate face of a ventriloquist's dummy.

I think he's cute, R94.

^ Me too

Wow the scenes today were quite hot and passionate for a soap pre-watershed. My only complaint was too little skin was showing, but again, it's pre-watershed, so not really that surprising.

Here it is..

I really didn't buy the Billy/Todd "argument." It was stupid.

Well, that went pear-shaped, innit?

R99, what didn't you get? Todd said something stupid, because Todd is Todd. Yes it was a lame commment but Billy obviously took offense. Todd didn't make it better by saying that if Billy wouldn't have sex with him he'd get it from someone else. On the other hand Billy obviously overreacted as he even admitted himself.

SPOILER WARNING:

The new spoilers for the next 14 days are out and it's not good news for Billy and Todd. They actually break up.

SPOILER

Why the hell would Todd tell the bishop he is living with Billy? Is he a complete idiot?

The last kiss got 150 complaints.

The kiss on tonight's episode was hot.

Craig should never be featured in a storyline.

R105, yeah but the new spoilers are depressing.

I want Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) to return to the show. And in me, quite deeply.

R107, I'd love for Jason to come back. Would be fun to see him find out his bad boy brother is dating a vicar.

Todd was such a ho in Monday's episode. "Can we just have sex and talk about it afterwards?"

who?

R109, he must have had blue balls for days after waiting so long. Can you really blame him? Lol

So they finally had sex but now they're fighting again.

Bruno is looking very good these days.

But he also comes across as very straight. I believe him when he says he's straight.

I want to plant my face in Ryan Thomas' ass while Shayne Ward piston fucks my ass, quite roughly.

No word on who's been cast for Adam Baldwin and Daniel Osbourne, yet?

Shayne Ward is hot, but can't act for shit. He is just terrible. Also, his character is really annoying.

He's in no way terrible, he's just not very interesting. He was a pleasant surprise at the beginning because expectations were so low. He's a total snooze with Eva.

Sorry, I still think he's a terrible actor.

Someone else has a nice ass too..

The Barlow boys are back!

Daniel will ptobably be Todd's new boyfriend.

I can really see Adam with Eva. He will probably end up being the love of her life. I think Daniel could be slated as Siobhan's new love interest. Chesney's time on this show really has come to an end.

I wish the train would go off the tracks again and take out that spoiled narcisistic fuck Nick Tilsley.

Is Gary Windass going to fuck Bethany Platt?

No, R125, I think he will get together with Sarah, not Bethany.

Daniel Brocklebank liked a tweet about Bernie. Does that mean he's a bernbot? I liked Dan up till this, but being a bernbot is just something I can't forgive.

R123, do you really think Daniel is straight? Idk I have a strong feeling he'll end up being gay.

They finally said "I love you" to each other.

I don't think Todd & Billy's break-up will be permanent. The writers have spent too long getting them together to split them up this quickly.

Todd and Kevin. He has a real Daddy fetish.

Tonight's Let's Buy Alex a Flat of His Own episodes were intolerable.

R130, you're right. The spoilers for next week say Todd realises he wants Billy back.

Bruno Langley was amazing in yesterday's episode. He is so underrated. I think he's better than Danny Miller (Aaron, Emmerdale).

He's very good.

Eva has GOT TO get rid of those ridiculous HELLO KITTY! hair bows.

Looking forward to Toyah coming back. Now if only Janice was coming back as well. She'd be Arrtoyah again.

Rob had his first day yesterday. I still wonder if Daniel will be gay or not.

I wonder if Toyah knows about Leanne's spell as a prozzie.

If I had to pick Leanne's worst scene it would many years ago when she lip synced that Spice Girls song.

Do you think there could be something to this article? It's not the first time mentioning killing Todd off, I've seen it in other soap magazines as well.

Like this for example..

I have a really strong feeling they're gonna kill Todd off, tonight's episode just confirmed it. It's a typical soap trope... finally reveal something about a character, why they're messed up, to make him them a "hero" before they die. I think they will do that, finally explain what happened to him in London. The "not sleeping well in years" comment hint at that. And then Sue (Eileen) has recently talked about her plans for what she's gonna do after Corrie. Why would she even consider that?! It's obvious she's leaving. I can picture Vinny killing Todd and Eileen leaving Weatherfield heartbroken.

I wish Alex was tossed off some scaffolding by Vinny, instead. Damn, that kid is annoying.

Alex looks like Peter from The Family Guy.

If Bruno has something else lined up?

Todd has been such a nasty flake since he came back. There's a lot I like about him but I wonder if Phelan is there to escort Eileen and her brood off the show.

Jason was a bigger anchor than Eileen. And I like Eileen and believe she can be salvaged.

I enjoy Tod so much I hope he isn't exiting for good.

I think Todd will be killed off, too. Tracy will be sad.

R146, actually no. In fact Bruno has renewed his contract for another year. That's what makes me hopeful that maybe they won't kill him off. But still I have a really bad gut feeling about this. If he does end up getting killed off I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I don't think Bruno has anything else lined up right now, but maybe he wants to focus on his music career idk.

If Bruno does end up leaving though Kate Oates (the producer) is an even bigger idiot than I thought. Bruno is very well liked by fans and Todd is a fan favorite. Todd is also a legacy character from a legacy family. It would be a stupid mistake to kill him off now. He has also managed to get the show a lot of publicity. Todd trended on Twitter on Monday and then there is the "scandal" over Todd and Billy's racy scenes.

Three things stood out to me in yestserday's episode: Todd already regrets teaming up with Phelan, he still has feelings for Billy and he mentioned "not sleeping well for years". He is clearly broken inside. I hope they finally explore what happened to him in London.

But isn't Sue Cleaver (Eileen) making noises about leaving to complete her degree/certification in psychotherapy and counselling? Jason gone, then Todd....perhaps they will make Eileen feel so ashamed of her participation in the Phelan scam that she says bye-bye Weatherfield,

R151, I think that's what will happen.

Yeah, I agree, R151 and R152, that's what I think will happen.

Jack P Shepherd signed a new huge contract. I like him though so I don't mind.

He's a very important cast member so I'm fine with it.

I still miss Becky. I'll never forget her taking Tracy down at her wedding to Steve. "Aint that right, Drearie?"

I loved Sally's line tonight-"I'm up to my neck in hashtags!"

I have a huge crush on Tim.

Tim is adorable. Joe Duttine is so good in the role. I saw him play a young gay guy in the play My Night With Reg in the West End back in the early 90s.

Ryan T

nsfw

Are they bring back any old characters besides Toyah? What about Curly Watts?

Curly's dayghter with Raquel must be a teenager by now.

Yes, R161. Adam Barlow, Peter Barlow and Daniel Osbourne are back.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Could we just get away from those boring Platts who have been dominating the storylines. At least now Todd, Billy etc take centre stage for a while. We need to see more of Mary and Rita and Norris and ghastly Liz McDonald and her crazy outfits. They must like dressing Gemma the kebab girl too, loved that gold outfit she wore recently and her outfit for the funeral.

Will Emily ever come back from Peru ? and could Steve McDonald take a long holiday, and more of snobby Sally .....

and lots more of toxic Tracey please. Does anyone ever buy any flowers in that shop ? her spats with Carla were great.

r159, I also saw Duttine in MY NIGHT WITH REG, and he is also in the BBC film of it. The recent production a year or two ago was good too, with lovely Julian Ovenden looking terrific naked.

Lets hope Jason comes back from Thailand ...... loved his nude photoshoot in Attitude.

The older cast members are getting older and doing less - so we see less of Rita and Ken etc.

Shayne Ward is super hot, and a good actor too, a decade after his X Factor win. Way to go.

Sorry, R168 I disagree. Shayne Ward is terrible, he is not very emotive, he has an emotionless expression on his face every time he tries to "act". The way he reads his lines is so cringeworthy. It's not believable at all. Compare that to the likes of Jack P Shepherd or Bruno Langley and you can see just how much he sucks, because those two actually know how to act.

Kevin Webster really needs to smarten up, he looks like a homeless tramp sometimes. He has been in it since the start practically.

I like how it has changed with the decades, from the heyday of Bet Lynch and Alec Gilroy at the Rovers ("back room, now, lady") to the growth of the younger cast members, though one minute Simon was a devil child, and now he has got good. Good job Carla left, that woman had so much drama, it was one dead husband/boyfriend after another .... Nick is a pain, we are sick of him too.

They took their time digging up Calum from under Gail's floor ....

I don't understand the Steve MacDonald love. He's not attractive, not a good character, and the actor can't act.

R171, I think the Steve character is funny. His scenes with his mother Liz are hilarious.

I'd forgotten about Emily, R165. I don't think she's ever going to return. The actress is in her mid-eighties and very private. I think she knew there would be a fuss if she announced she was leaving permanently, as she's been a cast member for almost as long as Bill Roache has. This is probably her way of getting a low-key exit.

Thank God it looks like Alex is being written off to Inverness. He had charm at the beginning but the "antics" the writers got him into were awful.

Billy didn't really seem like he was in the forgiving mood in yesterday's episode. I think Todd will have a hard time trying to win him back. At least Billy told the truth about Phelan to Eileen. Not that I think it helps much, she is thick and blind to the truth.

Well, Alex didn't go to Inverness. I think Roy will dump Cathy at the altar and she'll end up taking Alex up to Inverness, anyway.

This is interesting. Todd will open up to Billy about his past and Bruno will give a great performance.

"I'm not sure there's any other woman in the world quite like Hayley..."

Try Bangkok, Roy!

Damn.. we got so much info on Todd's past in tonight's episode. He was almost engaged to a guy with HIV?! But then the guy went back to his wife and kids?! Poor Todd. He knows why he's so messed up and why he pushes people away. And he was even on .. you know. I can't believe they mentioned the drug in this episode omg. That's a first for Corrie.

Bruno Langley was great tonight. I was surprised by the Prep mention as well. I'd thought Todd's story about London was going to be a bit darker, though.

Why did the writers have to kill Ozzy? :(

R180, I thought so too, my theory was basically that he was a hustler or something or that a sugar daddy used him. But I guess that would be "too much" for a soap. And I think they needed to prove that deep down he is a romantic and he just wants to be with someone, to love and be loved. So his relationship with Billy would make sense. So him being hurt by a relationship I guess makes sense, but yeah.. I wish maybe it was a bit darker too.

Maybe after Phelan runs off with the Grimshaw's money both Jason and Todd will end up as male escorts with Eileen as their pimp, sending them out on "calls" from the taxi firm.

So Maria will have grief lesbian sex with Caz tonight over a dead dog?

Where did you read that? From what I've read Maria will reject her and she will flee away in tears.

Oh, glad to know THAT happens, R184. Thanks.

So they are back together. Interesting. I think the "no more secrets" part was foreshadowing though. Lets face it.. these two are basically doomed. Billy will not accept Todd being part of a scam. He will probably dump him again. And I pray Todd won't have HIV now. I mean.. he shouldn't. He started the treatment early. I'm still so in awe at how much Corrie has improved. Taking on issues such as HIV and prep, and doing it so well. Todd talked about how the pills are making him sleepy. I can't believe they even mentioned it, and on a soap pre-watershed. Still though, I don't want Todd to have HIV. He has been miserable for too long, including this scam. I want him to be happy.

They're back on!

The latest issue of Soap Life has a photo of Todd with the caption & question mark "Todd Dies a Hero?"

What's that about?

There have been a ton of articles like that lately, R188. I think it's to do with Vinny threatening to kill him.

Cute.

I wonder if Billy's crack addict brother will return

Maybe, but not anytime soon, R191. Todd is currently involved in too many storylines as it is, the scam, Billy dumping him and now a possible HIV storyline.

I really hope Todd won't have HIV now.

So is Caz going to tell the Home Office that Maria and Pablo aren't legit because she and Maria are a couple? What a cunt.

Shayne Ward was named best newcomer at the soap awards.

Is Eileen meant to have had a lobotomy or something? There's no way she'd fall for this. I hate it when the writers mess around with the characterisation like that.

How can they even sell these flats if not going to go ahead, mortgage companies would need evidence before giving the money, as the Street people wouldnt have the money lying around, unless they are only paying deposits, which would not be that much.

I thought Grandad Sharif was sort of hot.

I like that they're so affectionate with each other.

Rosie Webster's returning (briefly) next year:

She was a good character but but so overexposed. I look forward to her interactions with adorable Tim.

I'm sorry but the Down's syndrome guy needs to go, as does Cathy. Roy deserves better, and single would be better.

How will they get rid of Sharif? Running off with his fat ugly slut?

Oh, I can see the problems Rosie will cause! Flirtin' with Aiden, modelling undergarments....SLUT!

I suspect Rosie will go after Tim.

Or she'll go after Adam.

Todd and Billy's reaction to Gemma is hilarious.

Gemma is fabulous.

Aidan's voice is fine in hushed tones but it gets squeaky any louder than that.

True, R208. His voice goes all "MARY!!!" above a certain decibel.

Speaking of Mary, am I the only one who doesn't hate her?

No, R210, I love her, too. She's a bit sitcom-like but I don't care. The show needs comedy characters like her and Gemma.

Sounds like Mary has been quite the free spirit in her life before Weatherfield. Maybe she loses a few pounds, tarts herself up, and becomes the vamp of Coronation St. Liz and Audrey should give her a makeover.

I wonder if Mary has a long lost kid out there somewhere.

Andy!

Ooooo, that would be good, R214!

Jack was fantastic in tonight's episode.

Jack P Shepherd has always been one of the show's better actors, even when he was a kid. And I love that his password was "Barney", the name of his childhood pet rabbit.

Jean Alexander, the actress who played Hilda Ogden, has died at the age of 90.

R217, thanks. I'd wondered why the fuck Barney was his password.

Shepherd really was fantastic in David's video message.

I hope Hilda Ogden gets killed off next year and there is a remembrance party for her thrown by Ken, Audrey, Gail, Sally and Kevin.

Ken mentioned that some native Britons would be sitting down for a Thanksgiving meal. Is this really true?

Corrie is set to expand with several new sets and go to 6 episodes a week.

That's good for them r220.

That new young actor who plays Faye's bf Seb is very good. His name is Harry Visinoni and he's apparently 17 so it's not technically pervy to lust after him, right?

Corrie is just getting better and better. I like the fact that Peter is back too.

Shayne Ward (Aiden) wanking, Not a bad looker.

nice sized cock/

No love for Shane pulling on his cock?

He's a bore, that's why no response.

Now, a video with the hot guy who plays Pierce on Emmerdale pulling his pud? That would pique my interest.

Last week's car crash and Ken's collapse were unexpected. Those court and hospital sets are kept busy! But what is happening with Todd and Eileen and the flats and Phelan and Vinny - and of course Sharif has disappared, how will they resolve that storyline with Sonia and Yaseem ? and we do not see enough of the other characters who seem sidelined, as its all about the Platts and Steve McDonald's entangelements. More ritzy outfits for Gemma and Liz McDonald please - what has she done to her face and hair ?

Just caught up with Friday's episodes. Oh, Corrie. Only you could come up with an elaborate scenario in which David accidentally runs over his own daughter.

The writers aren’t great when it comes to pacing. This week dragged a bit until the last two episodes, which were great but pretty over-the-top. They did the same during the week of Kylie’s funeral and the week where Carla left.

The actress who plays Gemma has really improved since she first joined.

Hope they bring back the Grimshaws (and Phelan and Billy) soon.

Yeah. hate Liz's new look. It makes her look older and rougher. I wish Nick would get run over by a streetcar cab. He's a narcisistic prick.

I'm a bit behind but am loving the soapiness of David and Nick with David locked in the cellar... and another secret being chipped away. I immediately hated the Nick recast for but he's grown on me, to the degree where I'm now thinking the aryan blond versions of Nick were a mistake that needed to be corrected.

And I love it that Peter's back. Loving Tracy.

I've never been overly keen on any incarnation of Nick. Adam Rickett was so melodramatic, but on balance I prefer him to Ben Price, whom I generally find bland. He's been pretty good over the past few weeks, though.

Ben Price had a pretty hot ass when he was in the ITV series Footballers Wives.

Bruno Langley as Michael Jackson-adorable.

Rob Mallard (Daniel Osbourne) just came out!

And Phelan killed Andy!

Daniel Brocklebank and Rob Mallard are dating.

I look forward to their sex tape.

The actor playing Todd (Bruno Langley) has been axed.

R239 He's been axed what? If he had really done it?

Was our sister Pat Routledge, on Coronation Street?

R240 Who knows? The Metro report seems to tie his dismissal to what's going on, but adds:

[quote] Bruno Langley’s contract ended on October 26th following an internal inquiry. This inquiry was separate to any police investigation and was independent of any inquiries they are making.

Also, the report in The Sun says producers are even re-shooting scenes that Langley has already done:

I really miss Blanche.

So when is Josh gonna butt rape David?

I indeed thought there was something major brewing for the Josh character. After almost striking a cowering Lee with a tire iron, I could see the foreshadowing of Josh's dark side. Also, the whole bromance thing with David seemed too chummy at times to be entirely innocent.

ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT

Ruby is not the psycho child. Fiz is going to discover that Hope is the problem.

Fuck off!

The child playing Ruby is cute but a total automaton who seems dumb as a bag of rocks. The child playing Hope is actually pretty good.

When is someone going to beat the shit out of Pat? I hate that gobshite.

Pat was fucking scary with Billy.

Well, tonight was the night. Poor David. Karma’s a bitch.

Kind of fucked up that so many people on Twitter think David being raped is hilarious.

Did you watch the show for the years that David was absolutely vicious toward his mother? He pushed her down the stairs at one point. I certainly don’t find his rape to be funny but a part of me doesn’t forget what he was like for years and think of this as karma.

What will it take for Fiz to admit that Hope is mentally disturbed? What's to stop Hope from breaking Ruby's neck?

The bitch who plays Fiz was particularly bad in last night’s episodes.

I'm looking forward to Phelan getting his comeuppance. And seeing how the street treats Eileen.

Yeah, but lots of people were laughing because it was a male-on-male rape, R253.

I'm annoyed by the way the Phelan storyline has changed Eileen. She used to be much more switched-on. I can't buy how naive she's become.

I think it’s a revenge rape and has something to do with Callum.

Josh is eeevil. Poor David.

But Josh is hot in that black Irish way.

Josh is really hot. So far they’re making it look like Josh is on the DL and fucked David because “he really wanted it.” But I think Josh is straight and this was strictly a revenge rape.

If it was meant to be realistic Josh would not have come back and David would pretend it never happened. But this is made for drama. David will tell someone. He'll go to the police eventually. Because this is considered pioneering it must encourage men to come forward. Josh will run, die or go to prison.

Straight men don't rape other men, Josh obviously has the hots for David.

R263, you really need to get out more. OF COURSE straight men rape other men, be it from a power issue or revenge. Rape is a violent act.

Ryan Clayton (Josh).

I wonder -- does Mamma like?

He’s a sexy guy.

Fiz gets more insufferable with every episode.

Fiz should just go live with Cilla.

That little kid who plays Ruby is so fucking awful. She parrots all her lines and is always looking off camera at her mummy.

C'mon -- this is Datalounge! Who are all the hot guys on the show? I can think of Josh, Adam Barlow, and ah.....er.....um....

The guy who plays Daniel is quite attractive, R270.

And the actor who plays him is gay. He had an affair with that ventriloquist’s dummy who plays the vicar.

Reading about the Peter Kay death hoax reminded me of his appearance on Corrie in 2004. It was funny, but also sort of sad.

He was hilarious in that episode.

I used to think Tyrone was sort of hot, until he shaved his body.

Tyrone is sweet but hot? No.

I'm thinking that Gail is going to waste her savings on "psychic" Rosemary unless Audrey intervenes. Self-fulfilling prophecy, my ass. Even if Gail's family has had regular hardships and heartbreak through the years, I think the psychic story-line is too predictable. Blimey!

I hope Chesney rebuts any possible overtures from Josh. Chesney's chunky, boyish ass may just be too much for Josh to resist. And besides, Chesney is lonely, shuts himself away, and has no mates. Perfect potential victim of a horrible thing.

I'm sure that Carla and Alex (Sorry, Ali) will start a full-blown affair. Carla will initially protest, but will cede to her attraction to his hot body and will want to drink his hot blood to avoid her next cosmetic surgery a la Elizabeth Bathory. Michelle will be angry for three episodes maximum if she finds out. Actually, she'll probably use the affair to get closer to her son.

I also think that Fiz will be beaten to death by Hope (with Ruby's explicit approval) given that Fiz has become an overwrought twat. Ruby will prefer to take her chances with sociopathic Hope just to be able to go to the toilet without Fiz micro-managing her stools.

Where are Daniel and Sinead? What about Craig's OCD? I want to see his impulsive behavior translate to multiple bullets in Phelan's back just for walking against the traffic light. Eileen and Summer can always go to NZ and rent from Martin Platt.

Tune in tomorrow......

And will Emily ever return from her South American sojourn? Did Norris end up joining her?

And who would like Zedan to go up into the man?

Craig’s OCD storyline is horrendous.

I hope Hope murders Maria’s horrendous child.

Bethany glassing the guy in the peelers made me laugh. Bitch is hardcore.

The girl who plays Bethany can SANG, too. She’ll be in the West End or on Broadway within ten years.

In drama we mostly see the victim. What's going on with Josh? I want know what he wants.

David's a hot piece, I can understand why Josh would want some.

I can't believe how long the Phelan storyline has dragged on for. The worst part is that the ending is going to be a total anticlimax, because most of the characters have already worked out that he's a villain anyway.

From what I read R285 Todd was suppose to turn on Pat and expose him and it was going to be a battle of wits between the two but then Bruno pussy grabbed a couple of women in a bar was charged and was kicked off the show.

I want Josh in me, quite deeply.

So do I. He’s hot.

Josh was in it up to his eyeballs with Pat re the scam so I don’t know how he could expose him.

Oops, I meant Todd is in it up to his eyeballs, not Josh.

R289 correct but Todd was willing to stay quiet until he saw Pat doling out money and started to figure out he had come into money. Then seeing Pat with Vinnie's bag and Vinnie nowhere to be found he started getting suspicious.

Bye bye Phelan. Well until June, anyway.

Ain't that right, "Drearie"?"

Friday’s episodes were AWFUL. Pat droning on and on, spewing exposition and quoting Shakespeare. I felt more sorry for Sue Cleaver (Eileen). She had that “I don’t know how the fuck I can play this shit” on her face.

The script was embarrassing, R293. And the worst part is that you know that's not even the end of the storyline. You can tell Phelan will resurface during Britain's Got Talent week.

David told Josh the day after the rape, "I can still feel it."

Goddamn! Josh must have thrown some long deep strokes.

Josh has a treasure trail I want to trace with my tongue.

And he has nipples I wanna suck on all night long.

I like Shona, but I just realised whom she reminds me of:

Poor Eileen. I hope all the Deplorables end up like her when the shit hits the fan-“I DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING!”

Now Josh has his eyes on beefy Tyrone! He wants some of that phat booty!

Phelan is alive? Good God.

I suspected he would survive, but I thought they would keep it under wraps for a while longer.

I’m glad they didn’t.

Nice shirtless scene with the guy who plays Josh last night. I hope he gets pummeled to death the night of the charity boxing night.

Loving David's current story. You can tell a lot of work was put into it.

Josh is a great character. I'm into psychopaths who aren't murderers in soaps (the reverse being horribly tired and overdone of course, plus I find the body count of modern soaps to overly strain my suspension of disbelief). Manipulation, charm, the "mask of sanity." Ryan's eyes are so expressive. Josh looked truly predatory and voracious in that scene with David on the bed.

Jack is playing David's myriad emotions beautifully. I'm especially impressed by his portrayal of vulnerability and confusion at Josh's mind games. David as an angry or disaffected young man is very played out by now so I'm enjoying the current material more than I likely will the inevitable acting out he'll get up to. I hope he can find someone to talk to about what happened. Perhaps a fellow survivor, although I would like it to be a gay man to show that both gay and straight men can fall prey to sexual assault.

Well put, R305. I like what they’re doing with this storyline.

Interest in Corrie went down ages ago, but keep popping into it once in a while, hoping to see one of the few guys that are good looking shirtless. Keep missing them.

Thanks to this thread, I tuned in and saw a hot guy's bod, just my luck I found out he must be the guy who raped David. Not seen this in a few months. Were they good friends or are they just aquaintances. Or are they enemies? Were there any hints to the reason he attacked Mr Platt.

Not yet, R307. They became “buddies,” a type of relationship David has never really had before. Right now it seems like Josh was attracted to David and one night drugged and raped him because of that. I think in time it will be revealed there was more to it than that and it could have been a revenge rape.

So the four episodes from Friday and Monday take place over two consecutive days if I'm right (I think Friday and Saturday). I've been enjoying Josh's machinations with Alya and David and the charity boxing was a visually pleasing event. And of course Jack is playing a blinder as per usual.

I find some of David's actions a bit hard to understand from the outside. There wasn't much reason for him to inform Josh that he was going to report him to the police, was there? Should have just done it. Also, I didn't quite get his motivation to press so hard to enter the bout against Gary, given that it would obviously put him and Josh in close proximity and give Josh a certain amount of power and authority over him, as we saw. David brained Gary to prove a point to Josh, but contrary to what the former said to the latter in the locker room in the aftermath, I don't think Josh is bricking it. He would probably see this as the clearest example yet of his hold over David. (Best evidence of this is his unhinged grin as it was going on rather than putting a stop to it.)

Overall David seems to be doing a lot of things that will entangle him further in Josh's web. The more he struggles, the stickier he gets. He'll need help from others to make it through, which I guess is one of the main points of the story.

A lot of the scenes between David and Josh are set up like those between two people who are having an affair. Given David's breakup with Shona, Josh's evasive behaviour when asked about David and the thick tension between David and Josh whenever they're together, I wouldn't be surprised if another character overhears something and gets the wrong end of the stick about them.

Good points, R309. I’m also baffled by David’s clueing in to Josh.

Perhaps David is in thrall of Josh. Haven't you seen anyone fight, push, and go against someone only to end up with them?

I doubt that, R311.

Someone on another message board is going on and on that the actor who plays Josh is mixed race. He looks Greek to me. Or maybe Turkish or Arab.

He's got a Facebook account. He's fucking hot.

Oh god that mixed race thread on DS. Descended predictably into madness. Ryan has that striking combination of very light eyes and skin with very dark hair that confuses some people, I guess.

R311, I don't believe that's the show's intention. But I can see how David's actions might lead to that sort of interpretation. I don't think David is romantically interested in Josh but he does seem...drawn to him? After Dr Twunk asks him about the steroid use, David drives all the way to Josh's (the site of his ravishment), leans on the doorbell until a reluctant Josh lets him in, then immediately brings up the steroids as if trying to excuse what Josh had done. After he gets his answer he just stands around, refusing to leave for I don't know what reason. Previously he's said he just wants Josh out of his life, but when that wish has apparently been granted he rushes without delay to pull him back into it.

R311, there's precedent for an abusive pairing becoming a couple--Luke and Laura from General Hospital, the original soap supercouple, began with Luke raping Laura, and Brendan abused Ste on Hollyoaks for months before they were sold as star-crossed lovers--but there's basically no chance Corrie go there with these two. It would be a massive scandal and contradict everything they've said about what they're trying to do with this story.

Jack and Ryan have strong chemistry. Better than David and Shona have actually. It's too bad the actor has been used for this sexual assault/mental health story as he really could have worked in a bisexuality/sexual confusion storyline for David.

I agree re David and a sexual confusion storyline but I just don’t think they’re going there with it. I think it will ultimately be about a heterosexual male who is the victim of a revenge rape.

The kid who plays Simon is definitely mixed race. Which has never made any sense because both parents are white. I think in this case they chose talent (because he was very good as a child) over casting logic.

Didn't Pat Phelan have a wife when we first met him years ago? What happened to her?

Aww they smile at each other before they kiss. Who's the guy on the left. He's cute.

That's Bruno Langley, R318.

Thanks R319. Here, have a smiley kiss yourself 😊😘

I hope Phelan returns and stomps on Simon to death.

There's no way in hell the writers would dream of getting David and Josh together. For starters, David has been part of the show for his whole life and has only ever showed interest in women. It would give out the impression that being raped somehow "turns" straight men gay or bisexual.

The General Hospital storyline aired at a time when rape was taken less seriously. I don't watch Hollyoaks so I can't comment on that one. Helplines for male survivors of sexual assault have reported a massive increase in calls since the episode where Josh raped David. To have the characters enter a relationship would be extremely insulting.

R317 he said she dumped him when he went broke and ran off with another guy.

Saw the ep where Eileen kicks him into the sea while he's holding on for dear life but I imagine he's not dead yet.

You need to see the ep after that, R323.

We're about two weeks behind here in Vermont. We watch it on CBC Montreal.

Ah, gotcha, R325. Well, the show wastes very little time getting around to the question of whether Phelan is dead or alive.

We saw Phelan take the plunge this past Thursday.

Told you I was hardcore.

I thought it was flatly obvious that I don't think David and Josh will become a couple. Past examples of soaps having done similar things were supplied to try to explain why the person to whom I was responding might think what he did, i.e. to not come off as a complete cunt.

(On that note, another example I've thought of is Robert and Aaron on Emmerdale. A great love in which the partners beat each other up and one of them kidnaps and chains up the other whilst pointing a gun at his head, attempts to murder multiple members of his family, shoots his surrogate father, etc.)

Soaps have a dubious record on healthy relationships, yet I don't think David and Josh will become a couple as R311 suggests. These are the two observations I made. There's little reason to keep debating the notion since it's not happening.

No fucking way is it happening. Any long term viewer is pretty clear about David’s sexuality.

Goddamn Pat Phelan!

David's treasure trail...YUM!

I don’t get why Michelle reacted so badly to Carla fucking her son.

Here's a clip of David's bulge bouncing around in gray sweatpants.

^^^What a tease!

Drunk Jenny is a pisser.

RE: David Platt I can't think anyone I saw grow up as remotely hot.

Josh training while shirtless...YUM!

I really want to like the Kana story as a fellow gay but I mostly feel nonplussed. I feel like Rana and Kate have no chemistry and some of the plot beats have been ridiculous. Zeedan's writing is a mess and the actor's performances don't feel convincing. Yasmeen is pretty much the only good thing about all of it.

I agree, R339. What exactly was supposed to happen to Rana in Pakistan? Was she to be held hostage by her relatives?

The actress who plays Yasmeen has really grown on me. She’s apparently a lesbian in real life.

Zeedan leaves Weatherfield soon, maybe as early as tomorrow.

I think Phelan’s going go off Seb’s mother next, making it look like an overdose.

Will Gail ever marry again?

Who would have her?

I don't know, Gail's still got a lovely pair of tits and a tight little ass.

But she's got no chin.

Cannot stand that ginger whiner Chesney, he needs to be axed. The actress who plays fix and the actor who plays him are the weakest on the whole show.

Gee, thanks, R345, I can’t unsee that now.

Chesney, Fizz, Sinead, Alya and the hambone in the wheelchair all need to get axed. But it won’t happen.

I like Emma, the new girl in the salon, though.

Executuve producer just jumped before she got pushed...

Where will Kate go now r349?

Maybe EastEnders, R350?

I agree, I cannot abide that character in the wheelchair, such a wet blanket. I cannot even recall the name, that's how little she adds to the show.

It was a masterstroke getting Carla back though - terrific character. Never a bad storyline plus she adds some much needed glamour to the street. Really hope she doesn't end up with Peter again though, he such dull compared to her. And his huge nose you could see from Rosamunde street!

Hope Pat finishes Big Eileen off this time, she's another awful character.

Izzy is the name of the hambone in the wheelchair.

Rana's family just caught her and Kate bumpin' pussies. What's this shit with Robert using steroids? And flush Simon. Fucking little thug.

Mmmm isn't that chap who plays Rana's brother lovely?

Rosie's pussy must be saturated daily working in that tiny little office with both him and strapping Scottish Adam.

Adam. Fuck, I'd love to blow his bagpipe.

I's love a wicked 4-way with Adam, Imran (Rana's brother) and Aidan from the factory. I'd even let Norris watch

Imran is handsome but, I fear, super hairy all over. Lovely voice, though.

The kid playing Max better lay off on the bacon butties or he’ll end up a fat fat fatty.

He's a hot piece R355. I'd Josh him.

I like the new waitress charaxter, Kayla. The rumor is she’s the daughter of the cop who got sent to prison for raping Bethany.

So, they've revealed Aidan Connor's exit storyline (won't spoil the details, just in case anyone here hasn't heard about it). Between this, Phelan's killing spree, Bethany's abuse, Billy's heroin addiction, David's rape... Who hurt you, Kate Oates? Who hurt you?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I think he’ll be back by Christmas, though.

OH MY GOD!!!! AIDEN......

Last night’s episodes were great. The actress playing Jenny was very moving. I do love Toyah and her huge eyes.

Tonight Aidan appears on screen for the last time. This storyline for him was totally unexpected. I thought they'd just give him and Eva a happily ever after. Very courageous of them to raise this issue.

R362 I don't see it as really homophobic. He is a straight man, who wants women. But, the women just assumed he was gay because of the character he played. So he felt like he had to act extremely straight to compensate.

He was “off his head.” He was wildly inappropriate. He’s paying the price for it. The show should take him back eventually. I think the end of the year would be about right.

Well, that was depressing.

Wednesday will be worse :(

I guess his quickness to accept giving up his kidney for Carla should have been a sign. He may have secretly been hoping to unexpectedly die on the operating table, taking his having to take his own life out of his own hands. So sad.

It was revealed that the night he found out about Carla's need for a kidney he had planned to end his life. He was seen posting a letter which the producer later revealed was his suicide note. There were little hints throughout these last weeks.

What doesn’t track for me is if the reason Aiden was suicidal because he “ruined lives” then why did he take his own life on the eve of Johnny and Jenny’s going off to Spain? Surely he knew his suicide would put a damper on things?

I guess it had been building for months and he couldn't take anymore. It wasn't planned to fall that way. He was severely depressed, it's very common for someone that unhappy to feel people would be better off without them and it will be for the best in the long run if they died. Also, taking the blame and feeling you ruin people isn't an uncommon negative thought too. Very sad episode. Great acting to raise a very important point.

I haven't been drawn into Corrie like that since the week of the tram crash back in 2010. I actually welled up a bit a few times (Eva talking to Shona, Gail's speech, Johnny standing by Aidan's body), and I hardly ever cry at TV shows. Never would have guessed I'd be crying over Shayne frigging Ward. I also liked that the final scene was with David & Shona instead of the Connors - it was a hopeful note to end on.

R375 I'm with you, tonight's episode had me balling like a baby. If you told me I would ever be crying when Shayne Ward left Corrie, I'd told you you were crazy. But, they all were pitch perfect, tonight. My heart broke watching Johnny, and Gail's monologue really hit me, hard. I also, like how it took this tragedy to shake David into confiding about his rape. This is why soaps are my favorite kind of programme, because we get to experience these characters through their ups and downs like in no other genre, the audience gets to build a relationship with the characters that can never be duplicated in movies or regular primetime dramas. ITV could make a searing drama starring David Tennant about male suicide or rape, and I'm sure it would be well-written and well-acted, and haunting, but it could never have the impact of watching Aiden's family and friend's dealing with the aftermath of his suicide, or David Platt dealing with being raped, because I wouldn't know those characters, like I know Johnny, Carla, Eva, Maria, Gail, etc... from watching them multiple times a week, for multiple years. Long Live Corrie! and Long Live Soaps!

David's cellmate looks freakishly like Aaron from Emmerdale. I Googled it and apparently a lot of other people had noticed too. It seems the actors aren't related.

I'm wondering if Carla will contest Aidan's will.

R378 Of course, she's not going to let that bitch get HER factory!

Johnny’s anger is very tiresome.

I missed the Aidan death just seeing the aftermath but the producer Kate Oates has got good form for unexpected emotional deaths.

When she was on Emmerdale a knockout episode started with a mother coming into her teenage daughters bedroom of a morning, her and us gradually figuring out she had died overnight.

Came out of nowhere, she was an ex addict but was recovered. Don't think there were any soap spoilers for that and no one knew the actress was leaving. A lot of people said they were surprisingly affected for a while after that episode. A lot of it was so well done. Wished I'd been watching more over the last few weeks to see the Aidan storyline

I think Holly’s death on Emmerdale is one of the most fantastic episodes ever on soaps. Incredible. They set it up so brilliantly.

R382 Emmerdale is very good at shock deaths, Val's was shock, Gerry's this week was a surprise as well.

Gerry’s wasn’t that much of a shock, though, I knew his number was up the minute he started questioning Lachlan about the car “accident.”

I don't know, I was hoping Lachlan was finally going to get found out. And, I really wasn't expecting the large stone to the head, part.

Apparently, it is being reported that Pat Phelan will meet his bloody end, for real next week. There will be so much blood and violence it is being shown after the watershed. There has never been anyone I wanted to see, killed graphically as much as PAT. I wish Anna was still on the show to deliver the final blow!

Me too R386. Clearly Connor McIntyre is a great actor to be able to make a character so hated by everyone. Much like Callum played by Sean Ward, being killed, I will be very happy to see Pat die.

I don’t want it to be an instant death, though. I’d want him to look up and see Anna sneering over him, knowing he was going to die.

R388 Then she lifts up her skirts, lowers her knickers and sits on his face, smothering him. All the while moaning " You want some more of this again do you, you bastard". Be poetic justice

I suspect Josh will be passionately probing Billy’s poop chute soon.

What is a watershed?

[quote]There will be so much blood and violence it is being shown after the watershed.

Pat's getting raped to death by Josh.

Doesn’t after the watershed mean after 9 pm?

The actors who played Pat (Connor McIntyre) and Michael (Les Dennis) will play the Ugly Stepsisters in the panto Cinderella in Manchester this coming December.

Watershed means sex and violent material can be shown. In UK it's supposed to start from about 9pm and the later it gets, the more nudier, sexier and gorey the content becomes.

But they push the limits before the 9pm watershed way too much. I remember coming across a umpteen repeat of Midsommer Murders of a weekday afternoon. To see someone being graphically garotted in a car. And not a whisper was raised. Must just have been me watching.

Transphobia!

I love Carla, adds much needed glamor and feistiness to the street. But if this were reality she'd been in a Psychiatric hospital by now..

Just saw the episode where Shona confronts Josh about the rape.

Josh is going to sex up Alya! Will she peg him?

Alya is so fucking tiresome. That guy who Josh raped in his previous job is a beauty.

I want the actor playing Josh in my, quite deeply.

In me, that is. In my bum.

We know what you meant R402, you slut!

Jebus wept. The actor who plays Simon Barlow is going to be a dad at 16.

Oh God he’s so fucking creepy. I hope he gets written out.

R404 So he is more stupid in real life than his character is on the show.

Way to make me feel old! I was a teen when Peter knocked Lucy up. Peter was never hot, I don't know how he attracted so many ladies

Guaranteed she's some chavy council flats slag who thinks she's got it made hooking a Corrie actor.

Damn, I want Robert inside me quite deeply. Without the Freddie overbite, of course.

Would a little boy actually say “I know who you are, Pat. And this isn’t a game”? No. He wouldn’t.

^ The dialogue throughout the Phelan saga has been excruciating.

Jesus, tonight’s episode was horrible. No wonder the executive producer got canned. She’s totally fucked up with the climax to the Phelan story.

I'm just so beyond HAPPY that Anna is the one who got to kill that bastard!!!

Yeah, that was good. But I really wish she got to hiss at him “Burn in hell, you piece of shit” before he drew his last breath.

Haven't they aged Kevin's kid? I didn't notice until his scene with Phelan this week, but that isn't the same kid is it?

Nice fucking spoiler R413, you cunt. Some of us outside the UK haven't seen those episodes yet you asshole.

Imported Pine Valley water R415.

It just won Best Soap at the British Soap Awards.

Tonight's episode was pretty funny. Love Nigel Havers.

He’s also hot looking for an old dude.

Simon reeeally needs a slap.

I've never seen an episode and not sure where to watch in the States. I've heard about some of the old characters.

But I DO love the theme song.

R422 Hulu and Britbox both it.

R416 I'm not in the UK either, I watch on Britbox in the USA, where episodes are posted the same day that they air in the UK. The title of the thread is Coronation Street on ITV, so therefore if you don't want spoilers start a thread that is tied to whatever backward schedule you are on.

I don't watch Corrie, but I do know that John Kerr (formerly known as Sanders) - who played the starry-eyed incestuous student Nat on Brookside - is a head writer on it now. Sounds like he's doing quite a good job.

I'm just rewatching the Nat/Georgia plot on YT. It's compelling, and still yet to be repeated in terms of originality. I'm up to the part where the loving couple accidentally reveal their goings-on to the neighbourhood as they are simultaneously and mysteriously let off by the police after a charge. Then Georgia reveals she is pregnant...

I feel sorry for Johnny, but he is also getting on my fucking nerves. He needs to fight for the factory and stop treating Jenny like she killed Aidan.

So does Pat suddenly have super human strength? That dog pile in Eileen's house was a bit absurd.

R426, ITA. Johnny’s character is being ruined. Jenny lost a child, too, for fuck’s sake. And he better not bang Liz.

Alya is such a such a BITCH, I hope Carla cuts her down, soon.

Alya’s unintentionally hilarious grieving over Luke was amusing but BITCH HAS GOT TO GO.

Well Pat's dead. I pretty much disliked Anna as I found Debbie Rush's overacting infuriating, but watching her watch Pat die was quit enjoyable.

R431 can I ask you what country you are in? I'm just wondering about the different schedules that Corrie runs on, if you are just now getting to Pat's death?

I'm in Canada R432 and I saw the death episode yesterday.

R433 is there any good reason that Canada is so far behind? I watch in the US on the BBC/ITV streaming service and we get it same day. I find it weird that Canada is two weeks behind on Corrie a British soap, and one day ahead on the American soap The Young & The Restless. Surely, they could do something to catch up to the British schedule. It is why I HATE discussing it online, if I watch it and want to discuss it, people jump up and down that I'm spoiling it. But, how can I know what schedule others are going to be on.

R434 we used to be behind by one year. Then the CBC started running fours hours worth of shows until we caught up.

R435 How many hours are they running now? Because Corrie now airs six shows or three hours a week?

I think Britbox is now in Canada, isn’t it?

Coronation Street is on CBC in Montreal.

R436 the CBC shows one hour on Monday and 30 minutes Tuesday to Friday.

We are the CBC.

Who gives a fuck about the CBC? This is Coronation Street on ITV.

Liz letting Johnny bang her with his thick beer can cock? So wrong.

[italic]thick beer can cock[/italic]? Keep dreaming.

Good God, when will Fizz and Sean get the fuck away? They’re both awful characters played by atrocious actors.

Michelle is horrible. Wish she were leaving instead of Eva.

I’ll be fast forwarding through Sean’s upcoming homeless storyline.

I know some people can’t stand Michelle but I like her. The actress reminds me of Mariska Hargitay.

Sean is a very irritating character, badly acted by Antony Cotton. Maybe this homeless story will be the making of him, Sean/Cotton.

Anyway, there's an upcoming couger lesbian story for Sophie, might be fun to watch Sally's reaction.

Get well soon, Norris!

Get well soon beloved Norris!

I cannot stand Fiz or Sean and both actors are indeed amongst the worst along with that permanently scowling ginger nut Chesney.

Who here loves Carla and Gail? They are my favourites along with Ken and departed Deirdre.

Carla is probably my favourite. I was finding Gail deeply annoying a few years ago but I like her now.

Would someone please hit Johnny with a brick?

Somebody buy Gail a chin, please.

Awww, poor chinless Gail. Helen Worth is a really good actress, though.

I think Flora will croak at her 1950s going away party and her $$$ will go to Daniel/Sinead. They’ll use most of it to pay back the ones Vinnie/Harvey swindled and then will get married and leave Weatherfield.

You can watch Coronation Street on the app Britbox in the US. It's about. $7 a month. I prefer Eastenders.

I watch all three of the main soaps (CS, EE and Emmerdale) on Britbox and Hollyoaks on Hulu.

It's not on here in London tonight because of this bloody football. The actress who plays Emily Bishop has one of the easiest jobs ever. She has about 10 scenes per year but still gets paid a King's ransom. If they paid by the scene she'd be bankrupt!

Emily hasn't even appeared on Corrie for two and a half years now, R456. The actress initially said she was taking a six-month break. I'm pretty sure she's not coming back.

So stupid to send someone her age to Peru to do charity work. Who else do we think should be axed along with Fiz, Sean and Chesney?

I don't mind Emily R458 but I do hate Fiz, Sean and Chesney.

I like her R459 I hope she comes back. Norris will try to redecorate her living room which hasn't changed since the 1970s!

I would also like to see the back of that horrid whiny bore in the wheelchair.

R458 - in addition to those three, I'd axe Kevin, Robert & Gary. They're all so bland.

I'd love a threeway with Adam and Imran in their pokey little office. Mmm

Fizz, Chesney, Izzy, Sean, Kate, Johnny, Simon, Jude, Craig, Kirk, Daniel and Sinead should all go IMO. And Amy should be recast.

Well, listen to Ena Sharples at r463!

I agree with R463 apart from Jude. He's a bland character but I find him hot. And I quite like Daniel but not Sinead who is rather dumb.

You're right about Amy, she could be a better character with the right actress playing her. And I wish they brought Sol Herras back as Ryan as he was gorgeous!

I like this Ryan, though. He’s got a looseness and ease in the role already. I’m just wondering if he’ll be the top in the Ryan/Allie relationship.

Every actor they've cast to play Ryan has been shit.

Sinead & Daniel are getting married? She nearly married Chesney a few months ago. These people are awfully fickle. And now Steve's on his eighty-fourth wedding.

I don't get the "Love" for Steve MacDonald. He's a lazy, unfunny gorm.

Totally agree R469 He was moderately attractive when younger in the show but the actor himself is so mediocre and charmless. He'll become the new Ken Barlow though as he's unlikely to get work elsewhere and some fans seem to like him.

I think he’s OK in the comedy bits, not so much in the drama bits.

I think Eileen will return in the fall and both Jason and Todd will be back by Christmas. And I think Jason and Bethany will be a couple which will re-ignite the feud between the Grimshaws and the Platts.

The Todd actor was sacked and later found guilty of sexual assault. He ain't never coming back. And the Jason actor was in Home and Away for a time.

I can't stand Eileen, let's cull her too. They just need one big accident or mishap to kill all these bad characters off.

Here's comes the tram R472!

Never say never, R472. He’ll be back eventually. He behaved like an asshole at a nightclub, he wasn’t systematically stalking or harrassing/assaulting anyone,

The actor who plays Jason only went to Australia for a short period of time. He has a daughter with the actress who plays Sarah. He’ll definitely be back.

Is Seb legal yet?

If Eccles dies, I'm never watching this show again.

[quote] I can't stand Eileen, let's cull her too.

I thought they already wrote her out a couple weeks ago? Is she returning?

I really hate Michelle. How long is she going to milk Ruairi's death for? She didn't give two shits about Ali but won't shut up about the dead baby. She's a whore who fucks any guy who owns a business then when she ruins them, she moves onto the next guy. Skank

R477, the producer has said they’re “resting” Eileen and she’ll be back later in the year.

I wonder where this Maria/Audrey situation will lead.

Ken Barlow is the most self-righteous prick on the street.

Cruelty to dogs always gets me. If Eccles had died I would have hated Tyler more than Phelan.

I hope Peter and Toyah don't get back together. I like her more than him. I always thought that was a strange pairing. What do they have in common?

How will Jack get a girlfriend without a foot?

Maybe he'll get a boyfriend.

[quote]How will Jack get a girlfriend without a foot?

What?

[quote]Maybe he'll get a boyfriend.

Yeah, the actor does appear to be a gayling.

Sean has no reason to be fussy.

Caught up on the last few episodes. When I read the previews saying that David would break down and tell Billy what happened to him after he confronted him about the homophobic remarks, I rolled my eyes. It sounded so contrived. But it actually worked pretty well. Jack P Shepherd managed to play it just right.

Poor little Jack. Strangely, amputation is one of the very few subjects I don't think ever seen covered on a soap before.

Shepherd really did play it very well. He’s one of the show’s better actors.

Carla just cribbed a line from our own dear Meryl Streep, claiming she had never seen a real potato until she left him. Ha!

R486 They did an amputation story on Home and Away just a couple years ago with Maddy Osborne. Also, I remember on American soap, Days of Our Lives, the character of Phillip Kiriakis got called up to go to Iraq and came back with a lower leg amputation.

Craig is pretty much obese now. He needs gastric bypass surgery.

Only on TV could someone like Craig have two hot chicks chasing after him.

He's not as minging as Chesney

He’s still unwatchable.

At least Kayla's only after him for revenge, R491.

Antony Cotton has ripped into a journalist on Twitter. Yes, he has a right to respond to criticism, but it wouldn't kill him to do it a bit more maturely. He's 42.

Kayla does have a nice bum.

Her teeth are foul, though.

How is Sally intending to pay back the missing money? Selling her body at lunchtimes down by the Town Hall?

I hope the writers get Peter and Carla back together again. He has so much more chemistry with her than he's had with any of his (many, many) other love interests.

Johnny is so fucking unbearable now and those scenes with him and Liz in Monday night’s episodes were dreadful. They have no chemistry and it made her character look like an idiot.

And once again, Sally's pussy betrays her. This time she didn't even get a used Morris Minor out of it.

So Bethany just lets Kayla get away with it because she's suffered enough? Kayla's a full-blown psycho! She deliberately left the gas on in Craig's flat, even though she could have killed him or Kate and Rana!

Also, when did Bethany find out that David was raped? Shona said something to her about how she wished David was coping as well with what happened to him as she was. I remember the episodes where Gail, Audrey and Sarah found out, but not Bethany.

I don’t think there ever was a scene when Bethany found out about David. Shame since they obviously have something in common now as victims of sexual assault.

I get that Adam is going off to France with Eva, but why did Eva hand Suzie off to him, then get in the cab by herself and exit?

They left together in the cab. She’s returning for Aiden’s inquest, though.

R505 Thanks. It took me another view or two before I could see what looks like his head sitting opposite her in the cab. Missed that. When they did her final shot, all you can see is her staring out alone.

That kid who plays Kylie’s son really needs to lay off the chips in gravy. He’s only 12 or so and has boobs.

On that subject, are we to believe Craig could pass the fitness test to become a police officer? He seems seems 'out of breath' just walking into a room sometimes.

Do they still go by the "bleep test." No. 3 isn't as fat as Craig and he failed.

Good point, R508. Craig is disgustingly overweight.

Craig is a ridiculous choice for a police officer. Look how easily manipulated he was by Kayla. He never once seemed suspicious of the fact that his new girlfriend was utterly obsessed with Bethany and kept bringing the conversation back round to her.

And let's not forget about his OCD. I realize this can be controlled, but still - at this point, he's still always questioning and second guessing his actions. An armed police officer can't really be like that.

He's more your unarmed rent-a-cop in a shopping mall material.

Do they need a youthful American character? Under age 25? I'm available.

R512, piss off, ye sad twat!

Kylie beats Bethany in the face and there are no bruises. And she and Craig not going to the. police is not believable.

I'm not buying Sean's homelessness storyline. The Street is full of people who are perfectly happy to let randoms lodge with them. It's too much of a stretch to imagine that Sean's pride would be this strong. He would know that Eileen would take him in if necessary. So would Billy, awkward though it would be to go crawling to the ex who dumped him for his mate.

R515 I'm not buying it either. .. So far, it reminds me of the similarly eye-rolling story that EastEnders did last year with the Denise character when she suddenly had no job and no money, and therefore no way to feed herself. .. Yet, at the time, Denise had a fairly well-off sister on the square, not to mention a caring boyfriend who would certainly have helped her out, but she was "too proud" to tell anyone of her dire circumstances. Denise was soon starving and digging food out of trash bins rather than ask anyone for help. .. It became almost laughable. .. In contrast, I think the homeless story that Hollyoaks did earlier this year with teenager Peri Lomax and the two homeless teens she became friends with while living on the street was very well done.

Eastenders is like a pantomime play. Everyone is overplayed caricatures. I happen to love it but don't expect it to be even slightly realistic. They are all Cockney comic types . But the lack of any realism, mentioned above, in Coronation Street, bothers me.

Jack’s leg post amputation looks good, though. He’s such a sweet kid.

R518 Yeah, isn't he? .. And I loved how Jack (Kyran Bowes) delivered his last line in this scene with Phelan. .. I just voted for him as "Best Young Actor" for the Inside Soap Awards.

R519, I hope he wins it.

Is the Vicar going to try to get Josh to repent?

Maybe they’ll end up in bed together.

Why does Billy feel so guilty about Josh getting beaten up? He really didn't do anything wrong. Should he just have let that bloke hang out with Josh without warning him that he was a rapist?

I normally like Gemma but I'm finding her quite unpleasant during this Rovers storyline. And the actor who plays Henry is awful.

Josh makes a hot blind guy. I’d love to see him in Butterflies Are Free transferred to Manchester with Denise Black playing his mom.

Will Vicar Billy try to get Blind Josh to REPENT and SUBMIT to God ... right into his bed?

I think that’s what’s happening. And who can blame Billy?

YAY! so glad Carla has got her factory back. She works best in there and not as a loose character sitting in the café or pub. And she looks great again.

Adam Barlow is the hottest guy on the Street. I want him in me, quite deeply.

Join the queue, cock.

Jude & Angie are so dull I had to Google their names before I posted this. I can't understand who on Earth thought they'd make interesting characters.

Hel-LO, Aldi. But since he’s obviously jailbait I guess that’s as far as this should go.

^^^What?

Dev’s son, R532. He’s actually turning into a handsome kid.

How sexy is the new Ryan? He is a great addition to the show. I hope they make him bi....would love to see him hook up with a guy. I read online that him and his " brother" Ali might end up together....but even though they aren't blood related, it'd be kind of weird ....but story worthy!

I read that rumour, R534, and initially thought, "But isn't that incest?" Then I remembered that they aren't actually related, nor were they raised as brothers.

No, they were switched at birth. That old chestnut.

Absurd that Roy wouldn't have the money to loan Carla for the factory. He inherited from Hayley who inherited a house way back. And he'd a miser. Sloppy story-telling.

I think Imran and Adam are the ideal combo for a threeway..

r537, I want Adam's thick uncut cock ramming my poo hole.

Billy is a pretty rubbish vicar, isn't he? He went along with Todd's lie to the police about Callum and Tony, he's never handed himself in for killing Susan, he took smack, he used his position as vicar to distract Rana's mum...

Billy is played by my friend Julie, which is why he acts that way. What a cunt.

Billy's talent as a vicar lies in wearing cute, little polka-dot clerical shirts (with appropriately rolled-up short-sleeves), while sporting a snug pair of slim-fit pants along with a fashionable, designer messenger bag.

We'll deflower him.

Sean’s homeless story is awful.

I know, R544. And you just KNOW that it'll end with Sean telling one of his friends the truth and them immediately saying, "Oh, why didn't you say something? You can sleep in my box room!" If that's the case, it's a bit tacky to portray homelessness as so easily fixable. I know soaps aren't known for their realism, but at least with storylines like Aidan's suicide/Bethany's abuse/Rana coming out you can show the long-term effects on the characters. Sean's problem will be solved as soon as he finds somewhere to stay.

Exactly, R545. Eileen is probably the one to take him in.

So he'd rather sit outside begging with a cup, than confide in a friend. So stupid.

And why didn't Sean tell Jenny who the vodka was for? She's the one who directed Sean to get rid of the homeless guy from the pub. He should have told her that he was able to get the guy to leave without causing any trouble by promising him the jar of vodka. That's basically what happened. It may not be kosher, but Jenny's the one who told Sean to handle it. If she thought he did it wrong, I don't think she would have fired him over that.

True.. Tim not believing Sally is also incredibly stupid.

Bad writing.

When will Sean start turning tricks? He and Leanne can go on the stroll together.

LOL Sean turning tricks. That would get him about £3. It's a stupid storyline, as someone pointed out he just needs to open up to either Carla to get a job, Jenny for the same reason or Eileen/Norris for a sofa. Or Manchester housing service for a bed in a hostel and housing benefit.

Boo hoo hoo ho hoo ... blah blah blah blah blah ... ALL BETTER NOW !!!

I wish Carla would get another handbag

It matches her face R553, old and leathery.

God, this Duncan/Sally storyline is such a fucking snoozefest.

Corrie life lessons: if you ever end up homeless, just tell your ex and they'll let you move in with them!

Is Summer meant to be the most resilient adolescent in the world? In the space of a year her dad dies, she gets shoved from pillar to post, people drift in and out of her life, her guardian ends up on smack, and now she's perfectly happy that some bloke she barely knows has moved into her home.

Audrey is a pretty rubbish mum for getting together with Lewis after what he did to Gail. The ABBA bit was funny, though.

Well you know what will happen is that Billy brings Josh in to stay with them and Sean can’t abide staying in the same place as a rapist.

I wonder if we'll see more of homeless prostitute Carol. Sean and Billy could definitely help her out to bring a stronger message out of the storyline.

Ew Sean unwashed and smelly. Makes him more gross than normal

Carol has been on the street before playing a record store worker and a social worker.

Please no more of Carol. She’s dreary. And besides we already have Abi.

Is Cadbury still the Nation’s favourite?

^ I'd forgotten about those Cadbury adverts. That takes me back. I like the meerkats, though.

What would I ran see in an aging tart like Leanne? Sloppy writing.

Isn’t Imran just a place holder until Nick returns?

Is the Tina actress coming back?

I thought Billy was only helping Sean out as a mate, but they're hinting that they're going to get back together. Bleugh.

I quite enjoyed those two episodes, though it did get a bit OTT at points (especially when the two posh boys tackled Henry).

The Sean/homeless story was terrible. I thought Antony Cotton's acting would rise to the occasion (such as it was) but it didn't. Henry is sort of cute. Would be hilarious if Vicar Billy started a thing with poor, blind Josh, but I think Josh is due to exit.

Henry is sexy, I'd love to see his uncut cock.

Silly plot detail of Rita suddenly getting that money. Don't investments send regular updates? And what if she'd died, it wasn't included in her will?

Agreed, they maybe cut the Sean storyline short when they saw he couldn't do it justice.

I was laughing at Sean's hair. He's supposedly been homeless for weeks, but somehow he still had a perfect-looking fade on the sides, and no sign of scruff on his face from not being able to shave? And why bring up weight loss, when it's obvious the guy hasn't lost a pound?

There was something similar with the Haley character on EastEnders. She was supposedly sleeping rough and out on the street before the Slaters finally took her in, But every time they showed her on the street, she had the most perfectly-manicured fingernails with very flashy red nail polish like she'd just had them done.

Are the two "Posh Thugs" (per the end credits) who are after Henry supposed to be a gay couple?

They remind me of the two "Tough Guys" named "Bob & Cedric" who appeared in "Seinfeld" a few times.

R570 the actor didn't want to challenge himself to invest in the plot

Even teen Peri Lomax on Hollyoaks was better at being homeless. As time went on her long hair kept getting greasier and more tangled. And I actually got a tear in my eye when we learned her friend on the streets, Dean, had died. His was a short, but compelling performance.

Joanna Lumley might do a guest stint

As Ken’s old girlfriend?

Yes most likely, maybe she'll have mother Ed another sprogg he knew nothing of...

Her character name was Elaine when she was on the show in the 70s.

So Chesney and Gemma arranged to have Henry quite possibly murdered? Isn't that a slight overreaction, annoying though he is? Maybe they thought the posh thugs were such wimps that they wouldn't do him any real harm.

Chesney is such a dull and unattractive character, he needs the axe

Chesney, Fizz, Sean and the bitch in the wheelchair all deserve the axe.

Good! That fop Henry is gone.

I still want Adam to rough fuck me.

I wanted to get double teamed by Maria’s dead husband Liam (he went on to Downton Abbey, of course) and that Scottish guy, can’t remember his name,

The guy that killed Liam R582?

Yeah, R583. The actor was Gray O’brien. I thought he was fucking hot. Loved his Scottish accent.

Mm I liked Tony Gordon's hot brother in his kilt as best man at Tony & Carla's wedding. She wore red lol. Yea Liam was hot. R580 I feel entirely the same! All of them gone!

MMM If I came home to Jude cooking lunch for me I slip hig big cock out and ride it all afternoon. Hehe

Is Jude hairy? Is he a bear? Verificatia of size meat?

Mary should remind Angie of THAT.

R587 He looks to have a light dusting on his chest.

And here are his legs - tending more to a lighter ginger color.

I wonder if extends to his butt?

And I really like the bearded look.

Oooo. Mamma like! Mamma like!!!!

I got hard from R590's pic. I lurve hairy legs.

Those legs are delish.

. Here's another shot showing the upper chest from the Corrie makeup room last week. Looks a little furrier than at R589.

Pits.

Leanne is really getting on my nerves. It's not like Carla left Simon so she could get a manicure, she was just taking care of Sinead.

They’re trying to bring “feisty” Leanne back. And it doesn’t work.

I started the topic of Jude. he's one of the few hotties in the show atm. His wife has aspirations of Adam. If I were her I'd suggest a threesome

How come Audrey's house has a completely different layout and more space even though it's meant to be the same place?

Jesus fucking Christ! What are they doing with Leanne? She's turned into a ball busting bitch.
