Members DRW50 Posted July 4, 2017 Members Share Posted July 4, 2017 20 years of the Battersbys, without whom we would have never had so many "families from hell" on soaps. Sad to think of what Toyah and Leanne have become. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted July 9, 2017 Members Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) I recently had the great pleasure of meeting Sally Dynevor and her daughter Phoebe for coffee here in NYC. Phoebe has been here shooting several episodes of a NY based television series I'm not sure I'm at liberty to mention. Sally could not be a nicer lady. I knew better than to ask her about storylines. We did talk about my first time ever seeing her on TV, which happened to be Phil Donahue's talk show around 1985 (?), probably to promote its all-too-brief broadcast on the USA network-it was USA. right? Donahue was actually broadcast from Manchester and I remember how even never having seen Coronation Street equating it with Cheers was silly. Coronation Street was obviously a soap and Cheers was a sitcom. Sally reminded me that Woody Harrelson was even there at the Manchester studio for Donahue. I loved being able to tell her how much I loved Sally and Tim as a couple. Sally had nothing but praise for Joe Duttine-she's extremely happy with the relationship that's been developed between their characters. And it's obvious she still loves working on the show.

Cast and crew were forced to flee the set, in Media City, Trafford, and insiders said the area is a no go zone. It is believed actors were still shooting scenes when the alarm sounded. A source told Mirror Online the incident "felt serious." But a press officer for the soap disagreed with our insider, who works in the area, saying the fire alarm was "all over in three minutes" and was so minor that the fire brigade did not attend.

The brand new cobbles were rebuilt across the site brick for brick. The new set is based at Salford Quays close to the BBC's HQ and this is the fifth interpretation of the celebrated street.

Members MichaelGL Posted July 26, 2017 Members Share Posted July 26, 2017 I agree. I wonder if this story is going to lead to either her getting pregnant or her going bonkers, at this point I can't honestly tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted July 26, 2017 Members Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm suspecting Georgia Taylor signed only a one year contract so Toyah will be in a padded room by Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS NICOLA THE SECRET DAUGHTER OF CORRIE'S PHELAN?

Coronation Street executive producer Kieran Roberts today paid tribute to Peter. He said: “Peter was not just a prolific and brilliant writer, he was also an invaluable source of great ideas and equally great wisdom in our story conferences. “Everyone who knew Peter will also remember the lovely man behind the great writing talent.” One of Peter’s final scenes was a dramatic fight between twisted builder Pat Phelan and Gary Windass during which Gary hit Phelan over the head with a plank of wood and knocked him unconscious.
