Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion] contd

I'm all about that little victory dance when Aadi and Dev learned about that greaseball being gone.

And I nearly did the same dance when Faye revealed she wasn't starting another pregnancy story arc.

I quite like the friendship between Ken and Steve. Bit of mutual respect and understanding between two characters that get nothing but grief from everyone else around them.

It's pretty unlikely the factory side of the street will be end up being levelled, but the homes and businesses are still nearly all sold. I wonder if they'll take the opportunity to retire the salon, taxi office, garage etc and install some new businesses with new sets and story potential. Kevin and Tyrone could relocate to a a new set around a mysterious open area around down the street we'd never seen before, Steve and Tim follow new ventures, and it was a bit redundant having a hairdresser and barber with the same characters anyway.

As for the residences, do a reshuffle of people's homes for a bit of variety. Or hell, actually go ahead and knock the whole lot but instead of a high rise it ends up as a row of modern yet affordable houses or duplexes for both the existing characters like the Platts and Metcalves, and extra numbers for the expanded and younger cast, so there's less need for this RIDICULOUS cramming of the spare and individual characters like Peter, Carla, Nina, Gail, Sean, Seb, Craig, Alina and Emma into houses and flats of established characters and families on a single street.

Oddly last night I was just looking at Tracey (nope not that) and thinking what the actual **** is she living there for. She has a business and realistically should be living in a nice suburb driving a Range Rover same as Maria's one.

Didnt her and Steve buy the house of Ken? A Florist in basically a residential area? Ya don’t think she’s making much of an income. She’d probably earn more if she worked in underworld.

See Tyrone and Fizz have managed to magic up another bedroom for Alina - its crazy at this stage it really is

Is there a flat over the florist/SpeedDahl ?

Yasmeen is all alone in her house, I am surprised that they haven't moved anyone in with her yet

I detest predatory creeps like Ray but I cannot muster an ounce of sympathy for Faye. She's such an unlikeable character

After what Anna went through with Phelan, you'd think Faye would know better than to sleep with Ray

Anna needs to return

I'd say Gary is finding prison a break from Maria and Izzy

Where were Alina and Emma living? I remember them in a flat with Seb whydid they have to move out and where is Seb living? What's the story with Sally and Tim moving is she leaving the street? Will she not be in many scenes anymore or is it a move around the corner?

I don't think Sally and the Platts will move or at least won't be gone for long. I think Ray's development is too big to actually built on the Corrie set. Something will happen to stop it getting built.

I'd say the houses will stay standing.

No way theyll rip anything out..might build a few more houses or flats....how come we never see anyone inside Costa, bit unrealistic imo......

Surely some teenagers would be in there using their WiFi alright

Nina running a tattoo parlour, that would be a great idea.

Yes, she seems to have just given up on her art and fashion career in favour of working in a greasy spoon
Does she even go to college anymore?

William Roche looks amazing for his age. Will be 89 in April.

he does look great -he must be the same age as the wallpaper in his sitting room :cool:

they seem to have forgotten ken has had a stroke and could do without all sh**e that's been going on and im wondering why all the houses seem to have windows in the front of the house - but the sitting room/kitchen of ken's and Tyrone's that we see doesn't have a window - so what sort of rooms are the front windows in (if that makes sense)
