Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2015 Members Share Posted December 23, 2015 What a bizarre, disjointed Christmas episode this is, from a show very clearly in serious transition. I wonder how much of this was Jane McNaughton and how much was the incoming producer (who was it again)? It must be one of the only soap episodes I can remember where the homeless are ungrateful and a wrong'un like Terry grows a heart. (I did always have a soft spot for Terry though...). This is also the episode with the notorious Deirdre/Dev hookup. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3j2brd_coronation-street-25th-december-2001-christmas_fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted December 26, 2015 Members Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I believe this is the last time they used the extended end theme to close an episode - 11 years ago for Karen's exit (though, I think this episode actually aired on the 26h of December 2004).

Members DRW50 Posted January 2, 2016 Members Share Posted January 2, 2016 Watch it (if you want to) while it's still up. It's fun so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMy2VBuWE2o 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted January 9, 2016 Members Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Didn't see it posted here, but Alison King confirmed she's leaving for good and not taking a break, as was originally reported: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/coronation-streets-carla-connor-actress-7143401 I'll miss her, but Carla's been trashed for years now, so I am glad she's leaving on her own accord.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 9, 2016 Members Share Posted January 9, 2016 Good for her. Alison is too talented to be wasted on CS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 Jesus Christ, why is Fiz still around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 Likely because of that supposed clique she, Kym Marsh, and Antony Cotton are in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 It is, given that they've supposedly bullied several actors off the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'll never get how these three have so much power seeing as they play 3 of the most irrelevant, pointless, and disliked characters on the canvas. I still pray that Kate Oates does a stunt that involves all of them being killed off. Corrie is in desperate need of a house cleaning and new blood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 Considering Kate Oates only fired a small handful of people during her entire Emmerdale tenure, you're probably sh*t out of luck on that score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 She got rid of the Spencer clan (minus Dan and Kerry), so I have huge hope that she'll listen to the fans reception and get rid of the right players. That was good enough for me and if she gets rid of Fiz, Sean, and Michelle, that'll be good enough for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 Ali and Ruby were still around for two years after she started. Make no mistake, I'd like to see the back of them myself, but some massive cast cull isn't her MO. That said, and this is going to sound horrible, but I wish Stuart Blackburn had the balls (he doesn't) to kill off Hope. Or, in more Corrie fashion, she could recover and on the way home from the hospital, they're involved in a car crash where both Fiz and Hope die. On a different note, does anyone find it odd that Fiz hasn't changed Hope's last name from Stape? You'd think she'd want to distance her daughter away from the fact that her Dad was a serial killer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
