Which Corrie characters are you passionate about, who would you like to see handed their P45s and out of the show, and which characters are you just indifferent about? Here goes......... LIKE Norris Cole Rita Sullivan Gail Platt Mary Taylor Audrey Roberts

Deserves its own thread...:D Former Cutting It star Jason Merrells has joined the cast of ITV soap Emmerdale. The actor, best known for his role as stylist Gavin Ferraday on the BBC drama, has signed up to play a handsome business tycoon named Declan who becomes entangled in the life of...

It does make me laugh how all three soaps Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale have the same storylines around the same time :rolleyes: Like the gay storylines... Eastenders: Christian and Syed Coronation Street: Sophie and Sian Emmerdale: Aarron and (I cant remember his name) lol ...

I just got around to watching a couple of episodes from about ten weeks ago that feature Diane Parrish's character. I'm not sure if she's that good an actress, but I can certainly see she's a likeable one. The main problem I had with the episodes, and it took a while for me to put my finger on it,...

The Cast of Emmerdale who will soon be appearing in HD ITV is investing £5 million in securing the future of Emmerdale when it moves to high definition. Work on transforming the Kirkstall road studios in Leeds (home to hits including Heatbeat, Rising Damp, 321 and A Touch of Frost) to make...

Or are my ears deceiving me? The one everybody loves to hate, Sean Tully, whilst partying away with the mad throng on the train during Roy 'n' Hayley's wedding bash.... did he really say what I thought he said.... "Oh.... fetch us a F***ING hosepipe, I'll do it meself!!!!!" ??? I think...

Long running Aussie soap, Neighbours is to be dropped from the flagship channel ten network in Australia next year. Instead, it will move to an offshoot digital channel aimed mainly at younger viewers although it will still continue to air in its traditional 6.30pm timeslot. The soap first...

Remember back in 1981 when Meg was thought to have died in a fire that gutted the motel only to be found alive and well on the QE2? In a mix of the Meg story and Nick Cotton does cold turkey. Peggy locks her son Phil in the Queen Vic to deal with his drug addiction but he manages to set fire to...

Did anybody see Dev in the last two episodes of Corrie - especially the second one where he was pretending to be distraught in hospital following his son's admission after falling unconscious....? God, I have never seen such chronically poor acting. It was embarrassing to watch. Him stuttering in...

It's been reported that incoming Corrie producer, Phil Collinson is planning to kill off a number of beloved Coronation Street stars as part of a dramatic storyline to mark the Programme's 50th birthday in December. In a repeat of a similar storyline that played out in the late 1960s, viewers...

The producer of Corrie has announced there will be more shock exits in Corrie leading up to winter 2010 I get the impression its people you wouldnt expect to go but after a big event some will reevaluate their lives and decide to move on. This has left me a little worried for characters like...

Is it just me or does anybody else here think that Lyndon Ogbourne is probably one of the worst actors ever seen in soap? Seriously.... how does he keep his job playing that NAT character? His rubbish ineptness (grinning and smirking even when he's supposed to be crying or angst ridden or evil or...

According to RTE's Aertel, Charlie Lawson (Jim McDonald) is to return to Corrie, possibly in connection with the major storyline that is planned. He seems to think it might not be for long, possibly the character may be killed off, which is disappointing if that's true. I had been hoping for...

I've just come across some interesting statistics. In 1962, 57 Corrie episodes took the number one spot in the ratings compared with just 22 last year and a mere 13 episodes during the first 8 months of 2010. And let's not forget that it was on a lot less frequently in the sixties so it actually...

.....gets on my wick, he cannot act - he pulls a funny mouth expression every time he speaks .... Bring back Warren Jackson! Wonder where he is now;)

................Phil Mitchell or Carter McKay ? lol

I had sort of gone off all the British soaps until this story kicked into gear last week. Sophie Powels who plays Holly is doing a fantastic job, I felt like putting her head under a tap a couple of times myself. The Barton family dynamics are brillant with mother and father taking different...

So what do folk think of the theme music now we've had it for a while? Are you all used to it now or does everyone still think it sounds awful. I hardly notice much of a difference now. I still think it's practically identical to the old one but just a crisper sound quality.

I just wondered what people thought of Phil's crack scenes. I have to say I thought he did a fantastic job acting wise, having met someone who gets drunk and totally irrational it felt realistically uncomfortable. But the scenes felt a bit wrentched in. They reminded me of Sue Ellen in the...

Is it me or is EastEnders going a bit Murder On the EastEnd Express again? Bodies piling up - and under a tree in the Square, I mean - under a tree?? Getting a bit TOO silly again, and isn't Larry Lamb too good to lose anyway?

What are your views on advance storylines being leaked to the press? Do you enjoy reading about what's in store in forthcoming episodes for your favourite soaperstars or does it ruin the show? Would it be better not to know what's going to happen just like in real life?. I know that this is...

Here's some clips I've found of Lynne Perrie (Corrie's poison Ivy) during an appearance she made on Vic & Bob's Shooting Stars in the mid 1990s. It's difficult to believe that an actress could be so different to the character she played, but Lynne & Ivy appear to have been polar opposites. I...

What merchandise would you like ITV to release to coincide with the Street's milestone 50th birthday? There are a couple of books being released in the Autumn to mark the occasion. 50 years of Coronation Street (by Tim Randall) is out in October and will profile 50 of the programme's most...

As Patsy is..... (still ).... the sexiest babe on EE I thought it would be great to have a pic thread.... only prob is , I dont yet have enough posts to allow posting pics .....

It's been reported that Coronation Street will air a special live episode to mark its fiftieth year on the airwaves. It's suggested that the live episode will be the culmination of a special week long of episodes which will see the viaduct at the far end of the street collapse and a tram career...

Corrie legend Jack Duckworth played by Bill Tarmey in the long running ITV1 soap will not be amongst those to die in the tram disaster in December, it has been reported in the News of the World. Instead, viewers will see him die at number 9 Coronation Street in the home he shared with his late...
