Coronation Street: Discussion Thread

[Efulton]

I have no doubts that Sue Devaney (Debbie) will do the best work of her career with this dementia story and the viewers and the Webster family will be taken on an emotional roller coaster.  But with the soon to be loss of Sue Cleaver and the recent exit of Helen Worth Debbie/Sue is the last person that they should be writing out.

You are not wrong. I love watching Devaney but I won't watch this. I won't watch the Nigel story on EE either. Nigel was one of my favorite characters. I just can't take these stories anymore.

This (which stars Sue and Maureen Lipman, among others) comes highly recommended by me, whatever that is worth. 

If you do watch and enjoy it make sure to watch to the very end.

Sally and Tim’s discussion about fostering made my week.  My god I love Sally.

Thanks for taking the time to screencap.

The Fiz mention is amusing, as she was a terrible foster child. IIRC, she accused Roy of abusing her.

Lowrie's first run as Dennis is some of Corrie's best. Handsome, charismatic, deeply funny, bouncing all over the screen, sparking with everyone. His relationship with his mother Elsie was great to watch, so often a joy, with some dramatic undercurrents. Dennis was what soap characters should be as he felt "real" without ever feeling too real.

When I first began watching classic Corrie, in the late '00s, Dennis was among the first who drew me in. 

Let's just pretend he never came back.

It's always a little sad when a piece of soap history dies. But 88 is a respectable age.
