Members BetterForgotten Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hilda's exit is my favorite. I've never seen such a beautifully done and classy exit for a long-term character that wasn't killed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Agreed. It's very sweet, especially how genuinely touched she is at the end. You don't get that on soaps now. She isn't on the same level of importance but I'm glad Emmerdale is going to have something similar to this for Betty soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted May 3, 2015 Members Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I'm getting a strong vibe that Liz and Steve will lose The Rovers and Carla will take it over. This would most likely be Allison King's final big storyline on the show. I'm with those who think she probably won't be back in 2017.

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 3, 2015 Members Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Liz and Steve should have never gotten their hands on the Rovers anyway. The McDonald's have never ever fit in there. I think Carla could actually be good at the Rovers, and assuming she comes back, stays long enough, and has the proper writing - she could be Bet's true successor.

Members TimWil Posted May 3, 2015 Members Share Posted May 3, 2015 I agree, BetterForgotten. I think she'd be great as landlady of The Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 5, 2015 Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 Not bad, although it got on a little too long. I'm just glad to see more real promos and not just clips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TimWil Posted May 10, 2015 Members Share Posted May 10, 2015 Gemmill was very hot looking on Casualty-he'll be a good addition to the Street. I can see Robert romancing Carla, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 11, 2015 Members Share Posted May 11, 2015 Bev Unwin will be returning for Deirdre's funeral. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bev-unwin-returns-coronation-street-5681497 I'm glad they did this. It wasn't something they "had" to do, as Bev has only been an offcamera friend for nearly a decade now, but it's respectful to the characters and their history. Deirdre had so few friends and loved ones left that Peter and Bev are the only two I could really think of that I wanted to see again, so I'm glad Blackburn or whoever thought of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I just didn't think sending Deirdre off to "visit Bev" was a good enough reason for her to miss Peter's trial, TracyLuv's wedding that wasn't, Christmas, etc. I guess they had to come up with something quick, though, and that was the best they could do. At least she was there for a few weeks following Ken's return.

Members DRW50 Posted May 13, 2015 Members Share Posted May 13, 2015 For people who were watching the 1995 and 1996 episodes - looks like there are about a half-dozen here. Not sure if they were also on other channels. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6H8AyJQU2l0oDbuFBxBacg/videos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 Please register in order to view this content I wonder if the show was surprised that Raquel became such a popular character in the 90's. I guess the genuine good intentions of the character and her naivete really resonated with people. Sarah Lancashire (along with Suranne Jones) is also probably the most successful actress on British TV to come from a soap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
