saw corrie 2nite good episode shame the guy who died in it cudnt stop blinking tho

thought it was poor... very poor and didnt live up to the hype.

Was I the only one tuning into Corrie, not interested in the Liam Death Storyline? Much as I loved the Hen Party scenes which I suppose were loosely tied in with it (Deirdre, Rita and Liz are always brilliant in these things - they don't even have to say anything - their faces say it all). No - I'm still much more interested in the David / Tina / Gail thing - the references to driving lessons and canals, around the 'supper table' were really funny. And thank heavens for Darryl & Amber - these two are a brilliant young comedy duo to add to the street. This is why I like Corrie more than Eastenders - the younger characters in it are much more likeable than the gobby, miserable (thick) youngsters in Eastenders.

I 100% agree, I thought the death was really good I feel well sorry for both Maria & Carla :lol: I love the Gail and Tina's Dad storyline :lol: its hilarious

every hen party in corrie is the same though and things like that is what totally puts me off the show

LOL the hen parties are always hilarious I find :lol:

I'll tell you what I did find interesting about the lead up to Liam's death ... and that was all the main characters speaking with those masks on I just found it really sinister - especially between Tony and Liam of course!

the rosie kidnap thing is utterly ridiculous.... how tf can he get out of that? and WHY did he do it?... rubbish.

I agree ... totally unnecessary and detracts from everthing else that is going on in the show. Also - I'm convinced those scratch marks on John's face have changed shape and form every time I've seen them!

I missed some of Corrie on Monday! Did Rosie really say 'You've forgotten me HobNobs'?

Rotfl, yes! I couldn't stop laughing.

 

She's just been kidnapped and all she can think about is Hobnobs and Fashion magazines?! :lol:

 

It's set to be the winter of discontent in Weatherfield this year. Steve's (Simon Gregson) resigned himself to the fact he's not meant to be with Michelle (Kym Marsh) and so embarks on a bad boyfriend routine, hoping that she'll dump him before he's forced to carry out the dreaded deed. Steve's new love, however, isn't going to hang around for him forever.

 

Molly (Vicky Binns) and Tyrone's (Alan Halsall) relationship is also pushed to its limit as Tyrone continues to lie to his fiancée as to his whereabouts. He's out selling dodgy goods with Auntie Pam (Kate Anthony), but Molly gets the wrong end of the stick and makes a drastic decision which she could soon be regretting.

 

Peter Barlow's (Chris Gascoyne) another focus on the Cobbles this Christmas as he struggles to come to terms with fatherhood. Ken's (William Roache) disappointed that Peter is more interested in alcohol and Leanne (Jane Danson) than bringing up his son Simon (Alex Bain). Old tensions within the family soon begin to emerge and it takes a Christmas catastrophe to shock Peter into changing his ways.

 

Tony Gordon's (Gray O'Brien) in trouble, too, as a ghost from his past resurfaces in the form of Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope). Maria (Samia Smith) is slowly beginning to unravel his scheming and murdering ways, but when her mental state is called into question, it'll be touch and go as to whether anyone will believe her before another body increases Tony's murder count to two.

 

Elsewhere on the Street, Liz (Bev Callard) realises that a potential life partner has been right under her nose; Leanne picks a boyfriend with plenty of baggage; Rita (Barbara Knox) and Norris find themselves some Christmas love, albeit not together; there looks to be a reconciliation on the cards for Dev (Jimmi Karkishi); and Eileen's (Sue Cleaver) father Colin puts in an appearance.

 

 

If you haven't seen the main news article about Tony Gordon's brother, then click here. So there we go, we'll finally be delving into Tony's (Gray O'Brien) past a little more at the beginning of December when we meet his sibling, Pat, played by Jamie Lee.

 

Earlier this week, I caught up with Alison King - who plays the fantastic Carla Connor - to chat about wedding week and she only had praise for him. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to learning a little more about Tony and I'm hoping that Pat will be sticking around beyond the wedding. Check back at the end of next month for the fruits of my chat with Alison.

 

Also, I hear that following her successful comeback in August, Margi Clarke's returning as Jackie Dobbs for Molly (Vicky Binns) and her son Tyrone's (Alan Halsall) wedding. She'll apparently return to Weatherfield at the beginning of next year, a week or two prior to their nuptials. Here's hoping that she'll have a longer, more permanent stint this time. Click here to read my interview with her from earlier this year.

 

Sticking on the topic of Molly and Tyrone's wedding, I'm quite disappointed to hear that we won't be seeing Molly's father, Diggory Compton (Eric Potts). Although he wasn't much cop as a character, I'd have liked to have seen him return for his daughter's wedding, even if only for a couple of episodes before returning to the scrap heap.

 

We'll also be meeting Dev's (Jimmi Harkishin) Uncle Omar early in the New Year as his storyline with Tara (Ayesha Dharker) steps up a gear. Uncle Omar, however, has yet to be cast. More on that as and when.

 

Briefly a word on the Connor family. We've not seen the last of the parents Helen (Sorcha Cusack) and Barry (Frank Grimes). We last saw them returning to Ireland in a taxi following Liam's (Rob James-Collier) funeral. However, they'll be back for another appearance at the end of November.

 

After all, they still have another grandchild on the way by Maria (Samia Smith) along with their daughter Michelle (Kim Marsh) and grandson Ryan (Ben Thompson) on the Street. Oh, and let's not do what the Corrie producers seem to have done and forget their biological grandson Alex (Dario Coates). Mind you, it's probably a good thing that he's been wiped off the storyboard.

 

And finally, to clear up the situation regarding Johnny Dixon, who plays the only remaining Morton in Weatherfield, Darryl. I can confirm that he's been given a total reprieve. Earlier this year, I reported that the character would be sticking around for what was then a couple of months.

 

However, it appears the producers have sufficient material for him in the coming months as he's now staying for the 'foreseeable future'. He has a good thing going on with Amber (Nikki Patel) and he's obviously sticking around to keep the Morton name alive ready for the planned return of some of the Mortons in the early part of next year.

 

TWISTED Tony Gordon will go on another Corrie killing spree this Christmas — after pensioner Jed Stone gets in his way.

 

The evil factory boss (Gray O’Brien) strangles Jed with a sexy negligee he’s bought for wife Carla on Christmas Eve.

 

Militant Jed (Kenneth Cope) starts blackmailing Tony after he finds out he ordered love rival Liam Connor’s cruel murder.

 

Tony throttles him with the undergarment — before hiding Jed’s lifeless body at the knicker factory.

 

A top soap source said: “Viewers are in no doubt about Tony’s ruthless streak but when he strangles Jed it’s a big shock. He coolly paid someone to bump off Liam so viewers will be stunned to see him fly into a psychotic rage himself.”

 

He disposes of the body on Christmas Day, telling her there was a break-in at the factory and he needs to “clean up”.

 

But our insider says he gets the “shock of his life” when he gets there.

 

The source adds: “Tony is one of the most wicked villains to walk the Corrie cobbles.”

Well Corrie was brilliant tonight! Thanks to the superb comic acting of Blanche and Norris - but particularly Blanche.

 

'Nancy has a cat called Navratilova'

 

'Ask Nancy can you look at her Billie-Jean King memorabilia'

 

Superb entertainment!

THE spoiler below to me just a complete copy of a previous big storyline they went with

Right im a little confused,,how did Fiz know where johns grannys house and when she got there she knew exactly what house it was???had she ever been there before???

 

Did rosie now think of belting him accross the head before with her wooden bat??surely a few more wallops and she would have broken through the door,,there are so many flaws in this storyline not to mention rosie has to be the worst actress in any soap.....on the other side becky is a brilliant actress and i think her and steve would make a great couple

Right im a little confused,,how did Fiz know where johns grannys house and when she got there she knew exactly what house it was???had she ever been there before???

 

They stayed there when John's grandma died.

right as i said im not a huge follower of the show so i missed that

 

It's going to be a busy old Christmas in Coronation Street, not least for Emily Bishop, who apparently will be cooking up a twelve course traditional Polish feast for Wiki, Norris and Rita. Various fish dishes and dumplings with sauerkraut (I have that when I spend Christmas at my German in-laws) will be on the menu.

We'll see Tony throttling Jed Stone and dumping him in a hamper. Whether Jed lives or dies is going to be a Christmas cliffhanger.

Maria punching Tony (yay!).

A catfight between Tina and Rosie ("I'm not the one who dated a kidnapper twice my age," Tina points out, quite reasonably).

David Platt and Gary Windass scrapping over Tina.

Joe McIntyre dumping Christmas dinner over Eddie Windass.
