Coronation Street weekly awards

Fashion don'ts:
Halloween came early award: Black shiny star: What was Liz wearing so early in the morning? Vampira in the House! The biker even thought so!
They do make strapless bras, you know: Natasha's black bra straps showing down her back. I really hate this new trend.

Wind you up award: Gold Star: Nick and David (especially David) making Gail (and Audrey!) cringe about Audrey and Lewis.

Can it get any worse? Why, yes it can award: Gold Star: Colin Fishwick returned. Now he wants his identity back, wants £2000 and he's dropped dead at your feet.

Dead Meat award: Gold star: Sean got busted for his Liz Facescene identity theft! (seems to be going around!)

Everyone has a rolled up carpet at the top of the stairs: Gold Star: John's gran's carpet. Surely it wasn't just propped in a corner upstairs?

Is that the crappest fake baby bump you've ever seen?

Lines of the Week:
Audrey on everyone's opinion of her: "Audrey Roberts - Good time girl. Married for money." (well she was and she did!)
Sally about Janice: "Trolls traditionally live under bridges, don't they!?" (*wipes monitor*)
Sean about Liz: "She can barely work the till let alone a computer." (Which is why Violet should have guessed it wasn't Liz online and do you really think some of those hairy bikers would be online too?)
Audrey about Gail: "I reckon there's a great big poster of you on the wall in the local looneybin with your mobile number underneath!" and "If she'd been at the Virgin birth, she'd have complained the stable were drafty!"
Kevin to Tyrone: "You don't do the dirty on a mate" (And lightning DIDN'T strike him! I'm shocked!)
Maria: "He's hard work, I needed a break." Lewis: "That's kids for you." Maria: "I meant Kirk!"
Roy: "Would you like a punch, Mary? Nothing would give me greater pleasure!" LOL And nobody realises there's booze in the punch? Nobody at all realises they're getting drunk?
Rita to John: "Your lucky day, love."

Honestly, it was like a true classic farce, wasn't it? Running that body around in a bin, Charlotte holding Colin's dead hand and Rita stroking the carpet with the body inside! There were a few holes that didn't make sense like hiding the body in a deep hole (that got exposed by the fire? hmm...) in a factory that's being worked on even on weekends. And as silly as it all was, I think it was classic stuff!

The Roy and Mary punch line was the best!

(Can I be next in the queue?!...)

Love reading these "Weekly Awards"!
No disrespect to Colin, or his situation ( dying) but I thought it was too funny.
It was so ridiculous that it had to be funny so it was great that the writers played along by putting in the dead hand-holding, the absurd rug roll, wheelie bin rattling along the cobbles, and Rita calling out "Caught you"!
Ches's party scenes were great, "Hoy" and "Railey" becoming increasingly tipsy and of course the "Mary" punch line ...

The Mary punchline was pure classic and bringing Norris and Rita into Colin's death was pure gold! Have to say, I like John!

One of the best - the dead hand just had to happen - brilliant stuff! loved Chesney silhouetted against the window as well, then Fiz. Creepy! I thought/was worried John was going to leave his footprints in the wet concrete when he went back in to the factory/scene of crime - that's one 'ell of an 'ole.

Have to admit I'm loving the farce.

Classic black comedy farce! It only needed a lightning flash behind Chesney's silhouette.

Can Roy get drunk more often - PLEASE?
