I know, Soozy. I was like this when I realised who it was.

Thats who he is, that was annoying me ! Thanks Soozy x   I loved Butterflies, sometimes its repeated on Gold

I knew I knew him.......................

I'm gonna have that tune in my head all night now 

There are worse songs.

I know... it's scary   I used to enjoy Butterflies too... and the other son was Nicholas Lyndhurst, wasn't he?

Thanks for clearing that up for me soozy. It was driving me round the bend where I knew him from.

ahhhh, that's who he is

Still good looking isn't he?

I know he is still dishy isn't he Soozy. 

What I find hard to believe though, is the dumb storylines that Corrie is coming up with lately.  David goes away for a wee break and meets some stripper/cage dancer called Candy, and she just *happens* to be the sister of his neighbour in the SAME street, in the SAME town in the UK,     (and even though she was there a lot for a number of weeks, David doesn't recognise her at ALL...)  And they 'fall in love' overnight, and decide to set a date to get married in 3 weeks, and then the next day, 'Kylie' .. the girl's real name.... tries to convince David to marry the pretty Chinese refugee for two grand, and then when Audrey miraculously suddenly decides to sign the salon over to David - (coincidently,) just as Kylie is after someone with money, she drops the idea...  (are you keeping up???) 

And now over-tanned fake teeth over-rated Tina tells HER boyfriend to marry the lovely wee Chinese girl.. this girl who is her bezzie mate, but who she never mentioned until 3 fridays ago.....    'It's just one day out of your life luv' she tells gormless Graham...  errr, not really darlin!  They will be MARRIED.  It's not like buying a dress from New Look, deciding the next day you're not happy with it and want to go back and get a bloody refund.  Ending a marrige isn't like taking an item back that you're not happy with.  It's a legal agreement bound by law, and it's not as easy to get out of as you think.  if they try and get it 'annulled' after a few hours, which is possible to make the marriage end quickly, pretty little China girl will be on the next plane home!

Seriously, Are the storylines being written by Eastenders writers, or what?  They're bleedin' daft!    Another thing: how is Gail surviving as she was sacked about six months ago?  And where's Kevin?  And where's baby Jack?  Who looks after him?  And where's Schmeichal the dog?  And why is the mental crazy frog tracey Barlow ALWAYS round every frigging corner, with her hideous shark grin?!  Silly storylines, silly annoying characters...The good, funny, cool and classic characters are dying off and the shitty ones taking over..  Corrie, you're slipping!  Don't turn into Eastenders FFS  !!!

awwwww cupcake - your post made me laugh, because it's all so true

BUT - I did have a real giggle tonight at the reopening of the Kabin, or Norris' News - Janice Battersby came up with some classics

Thanks Rexi   I thought it was a good post too  ROFL  ... I love me, who do you love.???   Seriously, yes the Kabin re-opening was funny, and Janice, a funny character is good, but she is leaving too!  (soon..) 

LOL Cupcake!    And yes Soozy I do remember him from butterflies, but I had to google it first. ... 

he is far too young to play that character surely? .. i know that the years have gone by but still????????

Clumsycat, Andrew hall from butterflies is actually 56 this year, so I think he is older than he looks.    Sue Nicholls is 11 years older.... at 67.  so there is only an 11 year age gap... But more to the point; how the heck does she keep pulling these frankly rather handsome younger men?  Audrey isn't what I would call conventionally attractive or 'sexy.' 

@ Cupcake. Your description ^^^^ of Tracy Barlow is spot on.

shark grin She so does!

Good post Cupcake
Plus, whats happened to Fizz, did she get the money and how is baby Hope ?
I hate when they put stories on the back burner so David Platt can take centre stage AGAIN

I find it hard to believe that Tina's best mate who she conveniently hasn't seen for years, and didn't know she was working nearby- I mean even if you haven't seen your friend in ages you'd know what she was at! And then tries to marry her off to her boyfriend in a whim.

Corrie story lines are getting ridiculous, no wonder they never win any awards.

edit:just seen cupcakes post..snap!

I utterly loathe that Kylie character,oh and why is Norris all pally with that Mad woman that he phoned the police about not long ago.

They seem to have dropped the John Stape storyline as well, he went into the hospital a few weeks back and thats the last we've heard of him

I was wondering about that too.... he was such a mess that surely he would have spilled the beans by now..... and what about the money Fizz was going to sign for? or did I miss that bit...?

he does look young for his age yes and i also find it ridiculous that audrey pulls these men as well..... tis a tad silly

Thanks for the compliments folks.  I'm flattered.    And thanks also to the people who pointed out other storyline discrepancies - like the one with Fiz not purusing the money, and so on...  Still watch it, and still like it... but the storylines are laughable at the moment. 

I think it's time for another tram smash to take out all the ones we don't like.

We should be able to vote them off

love it cupcake

I want to know where baby Liam is.  Maria's floating around that street like she's not got a care in the world....where's the baby?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes,,, where is little liam
?

You are right about baby Liam, and when Maria finishes work she is off to the pub!
You should email your post , Cupcake, to Corrie

Gawd I'd  forgotten Maria actually had a kid!

So has Maria

I know, she swans off to meet your man (the knicker guy) at a dinner meeting at his house (who the feck has a dinner meeting at their house with a potential client?) spends the night in the factory telling Carla all about it and is in the pub everytime I see her.  Seriously...who is minding Liam?

 The dimwit brother Kirk is supposed to be looking after baby Liam - god help him.

hahah - I've just read cupcakes' post - love it!


Kevin leaves jack with a baby minder.. I can solve that one.    Schmeichel will be making a comeback soon   *taps nose since this is spoiler free thread*


Yes, and Maria should be reported for child neglect....


Corrie is going through one of it's more silly phases - but I still love it. 

Well that dog Schmiechal (sp) is a great Dane .I wonder if it's still the original one,they are large dogs and the breed has heart problems etc,they rarely live into double figures..

Loving this thread and all the little discrepancies that people are pointing out.   I am a bigger fan of Corrie than EE but even I have to admit that the inconsistancies are rife in Corrie storylines just now.  Have to say that I agree with all of the people on here about Cupcake's post... it was priceless.    We need more like this .... Made me chuckle it did.    It was like it was a proper rant and wasn't intended to be funny, and that made it even more funny. 

I loved Butterlflies! And I also think Andrew Hall's character is supposed to be a "Toyboy"!

Cupcake your post had me proper laughing! I still love Corrie but it has got to get back to basics...

Cupcake...that post had made my day....so funny!!!

Why on earth would Audrey even consider letting Maria (droll as she is) leave the Salon over David...the David who pushed his own Mum down the stairs????

I agree about TInas 'bezzie'...even worse she is a shite Actress...

Just really noticed the other night how great an actress Alison King (Carla) is *que Darlo * She really portrays many different emotions well, and always maintains her 'hard faced' characteristics while displaying empathy, grief etc. Really like her even though she is designed to be a dislikeable character.

Now Sally's new hairstyle is consistent although we're led to believe that she's chosen a shorter hairstyle. Obviously the actress who plays sally wants to quit wearing the wig.
