Can't wait! Some might say ho hum, another barney on the cobbles but I love 'em! It's a Corrie tradition!
ReplyDeleteDon't get too excited, Tvor! We were promised great fisticuffs between Tracy and Michelle in the salon. We only got a bit of shoving and pushing on the cobbles. It's over ten years since the last Gail-and-Eileen scrap. It might be more sedate this time unless they've got doubles!
ReplyDeleteTracy and Michelle were indeed a damp squib, all a bit of shouting pretty much. I'm optimistic. Gail and Eileen have form and Gail has rage fueling her.
ReplyDeleteThe only joy I get out of the Gail/Eileen battle is the photo where Gail is laid out flat on the ground so hard her feet are in the air!
ReplyDeleteGail has turned into a complete moron with the class of the nearest can. How often has she been seen taking on members of the public inside her son's bistro or her mother's salon? What sane person actually does that without receiving a visit from the police in return?
This is not classic Corrie, this are the insane actions of a total narcissist.
Am I the only one who is happy to hear that Erica has fled to her mother's and isn't speaking the Nick? Nick should count himself lucky at this turn of events and take the comfort offered by Carla.
ReplyDeleteErica still has a mum who is still alive?
ReplyDeleteErica's supposed to have just turned 50. (In real life the actress is only a couple of years older.) Her mother would be somewhere in her 70's or possibly even 80's. There are millions of people "still alive" at that age, Anonymous 22:10 ! Harumph!
ReplyDeleteAs for Helen Worth's character's slow transformation from a competent person into an idiot, I wonder if she's had any say in the unpleasant change, or does she just take her (40 years worth of job security) paycheck and say the lines, however ludicrous.
