Does anyone watch the Classic Coronation Street episodes on ITV3 at all?

 

An iconic episode will be shown this afternoon with Alan Bradley’s death by tram in Blackpool which was viewed by over 26 million.

Rita must be hoping that rough-around-the-edges Gemma will eventually come good and turn out just like Leanne in the future.

I think she already has a bit, she's got a good heart deep down and just wants to prove herself (and maybe needs to say no a bit more, like when her friends came and she had a party at Rita's and they stole her stuff, and she didn't stand up to them but had a conscience over it).

Surprised that Dev has been in Coronation Street since 1999. Where next for him?

I am sure the next Dev storyline will be matching him with a new love interest.

Dev is someone i would not miss if he left or was axed.

I really like Gemma now she’s stopped chewing with her mouth open ;o

Tbh I quite like Dev (if not for the eldorado level acting x) and he should get a new love interest, maybe Eileen so we can see the fun side of her again!?

Yes I've been watching Classic Corrie, prefer it to regular corrie atm :lol:

 

I just wish it was available on the itv hub because if I miss it for whatever reason then I have to watch it on sky+ which means I can't watch it on my iPad or phone...first world problems I know :lol:

Who would you have given the homeless storyline to then, Jase?

Brooke Vincent. She's such a talented actress and it's criminal how they barely give her any decent storylines!

I can see why they chose Sean - Anthony Cotton rarely has much to do and it makes sense in-universe for Sean because he has no family ties on the street. However, I'd agree that I'd rather he didn't have it :')

I find Sophie as irritating as Sean. She is a very average actress who spends far too much time pouting which weakens her performances.

 

 

Yeah I thought the same, it makes sense as a character for it to be Sean more than pretty much anyone, Sophie for example has both Kevin and Sally who'd never seen her out on the street. Most characters that need a major story you could give it are in a similar position or have a home/business (like say Dev) so it wouldn't happen. It's just a shame that it's such a poor actor. Also I have majorly eye rolled at pretty much every promo interview he's done for this, as usual making it about himself, he keeps going on about a guy he met like once going homeless and what he did to help :drama:

 

 

I'm conflicted because it's a really important and real issue they should cover, it's just a shame the only character they could really do it with is Sean. I suppose they could have had Seb being a bit more forceful and Abi being homeless, but I think her trying to get her kids back is an integral part of getting her character established. I think they wanted to tell the story with an established character who's popular on the street to show that homelessness can happen to those you might least expect and the feelings of shame it might bring, how he feels he couldn't just say to Fiz he had nowhere to go so suffers in silence.

Oh I get why they chose him :lol: I just meant it's a shame for them to give it to somebody with such horrendous acting abilities.

One of the best things about Kate Oates' time is how she's reduced Sean, I know she has to give him a storyline eventually but Anthony Cotton AND Sean are both so unbearable :lol:

The storyline is good but the character and actor are simply awful. I in full agree about Anthony making the storyline about himself and even worse using it as a reason for his attitude on Dancing on Ice. He had the same attitude on Im A Celebrity, in fact, anything i have seen him on he appears to have an attitude problem and over the top sense of importance about himself. Kate Oates, thankfully didn't give him much air time, ideally she would have went one further and axed him.

Christ. Secondhand embarrassment @ Antony Cotton's acting tonight :mellow:

I like that they're doing this storyline but it means nothing if the way it's being handled and portrayed is awful :lol: I get that people have too much pride when it comes to homelessness/financial issues but it's not that bad that Sean couldn't just ask Eileen and she'd let him live with her immediately? :lol:

I've literally just thought the exact same thing while he was sat in the hospital!! :lol: It's just silly tbh

 

Waaaay too much Daniel/Sinead in these episodes too :puke2:

 

EDIT: I'm loving David and Billy together!!! It'd be so nice seeing David with an actual friend so I hope their friendship continues to develop.
