Fab Photos for the Fiftieth

The Corrie men look pretty hot in this photo, nicked from the Belfast Telegraph. They say that there's been a glam photo shoot in honour of the 50th anniversary and it looks like they've given us the young and and the lustful. There's another photo with some of the women dressed in fancy gowns over in the Sun, also looking pretty smokin' hot. I wonder if that's a preview of the 2011 Corrie calendar? I'll have one, please, if it is! We have, on the top, Graeme Hawley (John Stape) and Chris Gascoyne (Peter Barlow) and on the lower level we have Ben Price (Nick Tilsley), Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) and Keith Duffy (Ciaran McCarthy) and I'm hard pressed to choose. I think probably it's down to either Keith or Chris but they all look pretty good, don't they?

And if you check out Digital Spy's post which includes this photo, they've got a run down of the fall storylines involving these characters, storylines that will take you through to the anniversary in December.

Sea Penguin said...: Fabulous pictures! reading the Digital Spy thing, they say Steve & Becky's marriage comes under pressure soon - please say this is a hint they are splitting up! PLEASE!! I really am not enjoying this whole thing with the adoption/sister/sister's kiddie.; 31 August 2010 at 12:41
Annie said...: Not impressed with the photos. It's all style and no substance. The inclusion of Duffy and Marsh alone take their credibility down several notches.

Corrie has history... it features storylines with awkward people... older people. Highlighting fake boobs, boyband dancers and actors who have been in the show 5 minutes does the show no credit.

Glad to see Chris Gascoigne, Simon Gregson and Jenny McAlpine however.

These photos scream "Heat Magazine" at me... not "Coronation Street"; 31 August 2010 at 16:54

They are all looking good, however, and the women look stunning.
'Young and Lustful'is the prime way C.S. seems to wish to promote itself, and who can blame them given the large portion of the television viewing audience that it's in their best interest to capture?
I think they'll receive positive reviews and it looks as if a glammed up Kym Marsh is one of the 'calendar girls' in 2010.; 31 August 2010 at 18:40
Chewy said...: These pictures are released online, obviously a younger audience will see them and think "wait, Corrie looks quite stylish" that's why there is no oldies on the photo, doesn't mean they're forgotten, just means the pictures are targeted at the younger demographic; 31 August 2010 at 18:42
Chewy said...: p.s. the photo's aren't for the 50 anniversary, there is a total cast photo for that and it will be released towards the end of the year (remember the news story of Anne Kirkbride collapsing during the photoshoot?); 31 August 2010 at 18:46
Anonymous said...: I think they all look great, but I agree with Annie. It feels like I'm looking at the promo pics for a glam American tv series about young people, not Corrie, with it's mixed ensemble of characters.; 31 August 2010 at 22:04
