Corrie

[Caran]

I can't believe the number of cast members who are leaving.
Emily, Roy, Jason, Michael, Sophie, Andy and Carla. I am more shocked at Roy. How can he leave us. The show will not be the same without all of them.

[eanceoil]

thank you hc, while i was awaiting a reply, I - being so nosey, went on to google it, and I cannot believe Les Dennis was in Corrie, last time I seen him, was it big brother, CDWM or one of those things, I really need to catch up

[hc4361]

You've been away awhile.

[Caran]

I spotted Nessa in the Mr Selfridge trailer.Thought it was her, researched and yes she is in it. That's at least three ex Corrie stars in it.

[hc4361]

I've got Nessa, Beckie - who am I missing?

[eanceoil]

I didn't realise I had been, I only thought I had watched it last week, I have my tv on but family and friends call so I keep volume turned down and it's only a nuisance in the corner, I do know my best program not to be missed is gogglebox, I just love that alison moffat, she makes me laugh heartily

[hc4361]

I tried Gogglebox but it's not for me

[eanceoil]

took me a while hc, I'm hooked now

[Caran]

Sachs Parkinson who played Sian Powers. She was going to marry Sophie Webster.

[hc4361]

Of course! She was also in that drama about the mill, called The Mill.

[PankySmooch]

Corrie has been on a downwards slope for years when they tried to add a comedy twist to it and the gay storylines didn't help either

[hc4361]

Comedy has always been an element of Corrie and is one of its greatest strengths. I find Sean incredibly annoying but I'm not bothered about him being gay, I much prefer Billy as a character.

[PankySmooch]

Oh yes, Dev with his treadmill behind the counter in his shop, classic comedy!

I think not!

[hc4361]

Not all of it works, but without the comic touches it would be grim at times. It has a good balance. I'd like Graham Proctor to come back.

[Caran]

The comedy element in Corrie has always been brilliant. Mary makes me laugh.
But it is the exchange between certain characters that really show the true brilliance of Corrie.

[hc4361]

Sally and Tim, Steve and Lloyd interact really well - very funny at times, touching at others.

[PankySmooch]

I'd still like to know how Izzy got her wheelchair up to Owens flat within 10 seconds without a chairlift

[hc4361]

There was a stairlift and if you noticed she used a much smaller wheelchair in the flat than she usually uses

[Tizzi24]

Glad Nessa's gone, wish she'd taken Dev, his two kids, Sarah and Bethany with her as none of them can act!

[chrissa1]

Oh yes! Nessa Is in Mr Selfridge!! I see that now.

Maddday is in Jericho too, playing the young daughter of the main character.

Sad about Roy leaving, and I hope he comes back.

Don't you just wish you had a County Council like they have? Kevin called them about graffiti, got straight through on the phone and they were out that day!! ha
