Well "our Tommy" is back next week.Vera & Jack's grandson,Terry's Duckworths son,played by Chris Fountain.

And very nice this Tommy is too.    Better than the minging walking skeleton 'Nick' who was meant to be the new hot guy when he came in. 

You can say that again Sparkles.... very tasty

The lovely Chris Fountain.

The fake marriage storyline is shit.So is Kylie and David.

Some years ago I knew a couple who went through a fake marriage so he could stay in the country. Those of us who cared about her didn't trust his motives and was pretty sure he'd paid money to someone we knew of who knew her and introduced them. Problem was she loved him and believed he loved her.

At some point they were called to the Foreign Office and interviewed seperately and asked loads of questions. In Corrie it's assumed photographs will convince the authorities, it won't. They ask questions people don't think about, the little things, like what shampoo does the other person use, what toothpaste, what are his/her interests, what films does the other like...I could go on and on as there's so much of the "little" every day stuff that a genuine couple would know about each other after a period of time. Anyway soon after the Foreign Office meeting the man disappeared and she never heard from him again

Kylie and David make me sick kissing all the time...ugh. Xin is the worst actress ever, I cannot stand her!

I love David and Kylie together, enjoyed seeing Kylie revealing some of her past to Gail as they haven't revealed much about it..

Tommy is great, too much tan though LOL but Chris Fountain is great..

Really can't stand Beckeh, I really like Steve but turning his back on his mother when he's in another mess due to her and because he doesn't have a backbone grr plus the way she calls him babeh all the time cringe!

We need some  more of the wonderful Dev, Joe.

Kylie is actually pretty.

Silly Salleh wants a divorce from Kevin yet she still expects to have a share of money that he won but then complains about that car being delivered, it's probably from Jeff again LOL like the roses.

Yea Joe,they seem to be heading for the "Younger" characters,fair enough but the plot lines are just daft.The "pathos" of Corrie is slipping away..shame.

Oh and "Tommy" Chris Fountain was bare chested tonight...going for the younger audience again.

Ah well John Snape is home and will be heading  for another meltdown..

claudia does my head in  lol   the way she speaks as if she is trying to hold her  teeth in 

Oh aye  and the guy they both fancy is a cross dresser now...

I don't see nothing wrong in that, maybe they are trying to attract more younger viewers? Rosie has been naked before due to storyline purposes and to make some men happy LOL.

So Corrie should be just focusing on the older characters constantly then?, they have a big diverse cast full of older and younger people so focus on both age groups.

Sorry if I sound argumentative in my post Katty.

I'm going right off Corrie - far too much screeching and violence. If I wanted that, I'd watch EastEnders.

I knew it would go downhill when they brought Tracy back - as if someone with her gob would survive five minutes in the backstreets of Manchester.

Liking Mark/Marcia though. Me and OH decided he was dating Claudia because he wants her clothes and would probably look and sound more girlish in them.

Is he actually the one who played Nicolas Lyndhurst's curly-headed bruv (and Wendy Craig and Geoffrey Palmer's son) in Butterflies?

yes he is .........now how old do you feel?

Haven't read this thread (sozs), but Jim McDonald's skint - what's he playing at?! I know him and Liz's character are both leaving (again - except Liz is going for good - shame cos I like Liz), but why is he saying he'll buy the pub when he hasn't got a pot to piddle in? Twit.

The Becky and Steve thing's getting on my rack now. Kylie does my head in and the Sheen or however ya spell her name grates on me like a dose of thrush. That storyline with Tina and her and the fella and the fake wedding is crap, too. (Graheme's leaving too so I reckon he'll end up going to jail for pretending to be her groom or summat).

I used to find Tracy really annoying but since she's come back some of her one-liners have been class She'll never be a Blanche but she's inherited some of her dry humour

Maria's getting on my wick an all. Frank didn't try to rape her That's the most OTT storyline they've done yet IMO. If they wanted to go down that road with a script then it should have been more accurate, it makes Maria look like a bit of an idiot and isn't sending the right message.

*thinks if there's anything else about the show to rant at* Hmmm nah. Oh! Fizz. Yes Fizz. Can't stand her. Her acting is pants.

I thank you.

catch on wiv yirself elizabeth    oooooooooooo he is awful   , but i like him   hmmm ... anyroads  2 of them going soon  

i didn't realise until that live episode whow truly awful an actress she is. It's embarrassing watching her.

I'm glad that we are finally going to see the back of Liz and Jim....... their characters have become stale and uninteresting...but I agree that the programme does seem to be concentrating on the younger members of the cast, most of whom bring nothing to the show IMO.

Yeah Karma I agree about Tracy, loved it when she joined Becky in throwing Liz's clothes on the street.

Annoyed at what Jim resorts to thanks to Steve letting that troglodyte Becky mess up time after time, so it has he'll be regretting what he decides to do..

In regards to Fiz, i've heard what apparently happens to John Stape-Fishtape-Wick (i'm pleased) and it'll be interesting when she finally finds out...

I don't want to see a spoiler cos it would ruin the electrifying intensity of Fizz's acting skills

I like Norris, he makes me larf

Chris Fountain is looking kinda lush in it I must say (and NO I AM NOT CHRIS FOUNTAIN LOVER/CHOCCY/STACKER OF ALL CALLS SINCE ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL INVENTED THE TELEPHONE IN 1876 - thank you)

Oh yes and Uncle Uhmed (sp?)

However the storylines develop with whatever actor/actress I'll never stop watching  Corrie often fetch in new families/people that I don't like but as their storylines develop I usually end up liking them because some of them change along the way. When the Windasses moved in I couldn't stand them, especially Gary and the Dad, now I don't mind them at all and that's happened a lot of times with newcomers.

Corrie's great and I hope it never ends
