Probably not, but who cares? I've not got HD TV but even if I did, I wouldn't give a monkey's about anybody's wrinkles, crepe-y cleavage, saggy bits, or yellowing teeth.
Face lifts are hardly new - movie stars were having "work done" in the 1920s. Perhaps it's just me, but I think things are getting just plain weird now, and I find it jarring when it pops up on Corrie. I'm mentioning no names - I can appreciate actors are under huge pressure to sand down any rough edges. I can also appreciate that perhaps in some ways it reflects real life - I live in a rural area where ten years ago you'd be hard pushed to get a shampoo and set, but now you can get botox and non-surgical lifts at the local hairdresser. Maybe Audrey's should start offering "treatments". It wouldn't be out of the ordinary. People can get anything done these days - fillers, plumping, stretching - but the worst thing to my mind is cosmetic dentistry. It's second only to boob jobs. If someone's had their teeth knocked out in a fight or in an accident - fair do's. But for heaven's sake - when I turn on my TV I don't want to be blinded by umpteen sets of dazzling white gnashers. Especially if they belong to someone with an older face - it just doesn't look right, even if it HAS been stretched and pumped full of goodness knows what. They're just false teeth, after all - they might not sit in a glass of Steradent on your bedside table nowadays, but they're the same really. I wish people could be allowed to be seen as they are, wrinkles, yellow teeth and all.
Reminds me of a story an aunt told me - in her day, it was the fashion to get all your teeth removed, as a present for your 21st birthday, and to have a lovely set of dentures, instead, so you could look like a Hollywood movie star. Yeah right.
P.S. - Jennie McAlpine has the best teeth on Corrie, in my view. Don't ever, ever get that gap removed. I'm being serious.
