He's 25, spouting drivel most 14 year olds would be embarrassed by. Really I wonder about some people.

In his defence it was meant to be a private video. Not sure why he put it on youtube though.

I thought The Bill was the place soap stars go to die
Bring Jim McDonald back he is the best so he is

The other night, Tina arrived back on the cobbles after her hissy fit on the Red Rec. She told Denis or Tommy, I forget who - that she'd come straight home after Rita had rung her. When they asked how long ago that was, she said about an hour or more. How far is the Red Rec???? Over an hour's walk away? She didn't look in the slightest bit drunk at all either:rolleyes:.

Then tonight, after panicking searching for Rita around the street, someone said Marcus had met Rita '20 mins ago'. And all that stuff on the Red Rec had happened in the meantime.....did Rita drive there? She must've done, over an hour's walk away???

During one of his sleep walking adventures Roy was found on the red rec, so it can't be that far.

There is no way Owen could be a bully or builder with the arms he has.
The other guy is built bigger and could take him any day.
The others that are builders would pass for it.

Well she spends enough time in Dublin nightclubs getting her mush in the papers so she should be well versed on what a real Irish accent sounds like!

I think that little conversion about her mam and Steve is to set the groundwork for her mam making an appearance and them buying the pub.

True. Although did I read that Liz, or Elizabeth as Jim would call her, so he would ...is returning to run the pub. Didn't she reappear some years ago too, but I think she didn't last very long.

Yes there is always terrific variety in these gangs, though I cant help but notice that those of Asian descent are never represented, maybe that's a demographic too far in Corries quest for equality.

For a soap set in Manchester Corrie has very few people of non ethnic British background. Next to no Irish on it, last ones I remember were Keith Duffy and Martin Platt's psycho babysitter girlfriend. Very few asian, chinese, east european or black people on it compared to and ordinary working class area of Manchester. I know there's the odd one, but in general there's historically very few.

Izzy's very good natured and trusting. Gary's a d!ck..I suspect his animosity towards Tina is partly 'cos she knocked him back. He shouldn't be so aggressive in front of that little baby..poor wee lamb looking up at him:(

I reckon Gary doesn't want her bonding with Jake and TBH he's right. But it was always a bit stupid having a surrogate from the same street so he'll have to live with that stupid decission.

Sally didn't waste any time dragging your man up to bed...shameless hussy:). I like him actually, it irks me that Owen and Anna happily tried to force him to leave despite it breaking Faye's heart leaving her with a lifetime of insecurities.:mad: I usually hate Sally when she's rowing but I was delighted at her standing up to Owen.

Go Tim! Always fancied Sally, she can be an awful stuck up snobby cow, but she's a sexy little thing too.

Me too! It would be another excuse for Sally and Eileen to scrap on the street, with Pointless Paul as the ultimate prize.

Yeah I can imagine that fight.......

Sally: *slaps Eileen* No! I don't want him, you take him!
Eileen: *punches Sally* I'm sick of the little sh!t, you looked at him, you take him.
Sally: *knees Eileen in the stomach* No bloody way! , he's as useless in the sack as he is at acting, you're having him back.
Eileen: *grabs Sally by the hair* You're dumping Tim and taking him NOW! *slap slap slap*
Owen: Alright loves, need a hand beating each other up.

What do you mean? We all sound like that in Mayo!!!!

I hope you are all proud of yourselves, I was dreaming about Fireman Paul last night, it wasn't pretty

i just mean that to anyone not living in the area the 'standard' irish accent sounds very like how the lovely kym lomas portrayed it. well apart from the munster and dublin accents and north

Love it, , and he moves in with whoever loses the fight, complete with his little wardrobe of bomber jackets.
