Members YRBB Posted August 1, 2017 Members Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I found Toyah breaking down outside the consultant's office and Peter finding her very touching. Meanwhile, Michelle's "acting" is as annoying and grating as ever. There's something very fun about Liz dealing with the weird boss.

Members DRW50 Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 Toyah was a rare and wonderful, intelligent young heroine in her first run. Did you see any of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 Georgia Taylor's always been wonderful with those huge, expressive eyes of hers. I always thought of Toyah as a Northern version of Michelle on EE-full of common sense, feisty but also soulful and yearning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 Unfortunately, I haven't. I'm certainly feeling the need to sit down one of these days and look up her old scenes/episodes. I found her amazing from the first scene I ever saw her in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 4, 2017 Members Share Posted August 4, 2017 Toyah isn't about to get stuck with baby rabies is she? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 5, 2017 Members Share Posted August 5, 2017 HELL F-CKING NO!!! This memory lapse of Rita's better not be the start of some dementia/Alzheimer's story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 5, 2017 Members Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'm afraid it seems to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 5, 2017 Members Share Posted August 5, 2017 That breaks my heart. I really, really hope it's not that. We've just had that, in a major way, by the same producer and I don't like older, legendary characters being disposed of via such illness. It's ageist and it feels like it's done so they can be written out (because that's always what it leads to) without causing too much of an uproar. Ugh. I'm hoping it's some bad reaction to medication or she's a drunk or whatever. Rita's presence is comforting, a link to the glorious past, and as far as we know, the actress is still capable and willing. I still miss Emily. I really don't want to see Rita end that way and off the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 14, 2017 Members Share Posted August 14, 2017 Alison King is returning at Christmas? Wow. And apparently Carla and Michelle will be on opposing sides over something (or someone). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 14, 2017 Members Share Posted August 14, 2017 She is? Damn. She wasn't really gone that long, but welcome back. As long as Carla isn't returning a depressed drip that she became the last few years she was on the show then I am thrilled for her return. Also, they better NOT toss her back into Peter's orbit. Even though I like Chris Gascoyne as an actor, Peter sucks the life out of all his female counterparts. Is it bad that I do wish that Carla would come back with a baby (or babies--twins) that were Nick's? Please register in order to view this content I loved Nick/Carla and wish that she'd pop up with a seed or two of his with Gail breathing down her neck about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 15, 2017 Members Share Posted August 15, 2017 I agree that she'd better not be placed into Peter's orbit although I have a sneaking suspicion that she'll be landlady of the Rovers pretty soon after her return. I think Georgia Taylor may have only signed a one year contract and she'll be going around Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 15, 2017 Members Share Posted August 15, 2017 If so, then how sad - the return has done nothing but tarnish Toyah's legacy on the show. I have no real interest in seeing Carla again, especially if it is going to be about Michelle, an unwatchable, unlikeable, failed character. And I'd rather watch Fiz buy a vibrator than ever see Carla with Peter again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 19, 2017 Members Share Posted August 19, 2017 Oh my God! I cannot believe it! My precious Andy is alive! Now that was a total shocker for me! But I need for him to hurry up, kill Phelan's baldheaded a**, and to go trim that gorgeous face. Facial hair does not do that gorgeous face justice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted August 19, 2017 Members Share Posted August 19, 2017 Totally don't know this Andy character (as I had just started watching after he had "died") but he does look cute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted August 19, 2017 Members Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) He does look better with a beard. I'm guessing Carla will be on an "opposing side" from Michelle over Robert. Had forgotten she'd slept with Robert early last year when she found out Johnny was her father. It wouldn't be right time-wise for her to show up with his baby, would it? She'd have been at least five months pregnant when she left Weatherfield. Edited August 19, 2017 by TimWil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
