I know this comes up from time to time. But we now have Ken, Deirdre, A crippled Peter, Leanne, Tracy and Amy all living in a two up two down. Where do they all sleep?

Seriously, Ken and Deirdre share a room (horrible thought), Amy and Simon Share a room, Leanne and Peter have the front parlour and Tracy lives in a kennal that Ken bought and put in the back yard.
And I have no idea. Don't Leanne and Peter sleep in Blanche's bedroom, Tracey and Amy may sleep together as do Ken and Deirdre, Simon, Presumably sleeping with Leanne and Peter. It must be squished.
Eccles gets his own bed. Probably has the other room upstairs done up for him.
Also are Dev & Fiz places knocked through so that they just have one large living room?
Also how many bedroom does the Webster house have? I was watching the last episode and Sophie was talking about how Sian can share with her now that Rosie has moved out. Does that mean that Sophie has been sharing with Rosie for all these months?
Also Eileen's place, are they using the front room as a bedroom there otherwise how do they all fit in?
The front room is where Sean sleeps.
The Websters' is a small 3 bedroomed house. The third bedroom, is what they used to call a 'box' room with the stairs cutting a slope in the corner.
Edit-
I've actually just read that the front parlour has been converted into a bedsit for Sean. Quite frankly I don't believe it, I don't understand how it can be.
Well thats another instance of the house being tardis like since we have seen Sophie's bedroom and it certainly wasn't a box room and I can't believe that Rosie would go in the box room.
I am guessing that when the Websters were across the street they used the front room as a bedroom?
They don't have these type of terraces in my area, is it normal practice to use the front room as a bedroom?
Yes but imagine the trouble she would have getting her out. Tracey would probably refuse to budge.
If I were Deidre think I'd be asking to move into the flat (alone)
I'm surprised that Ken hasn't asked either. Actually now that I think about it why didn't K&D offer to do a temp house swap while Peter was recovering, then both would have more space.
Barlows: I'm assuming that now Tracy (and Amy) are back, they're sharing what was Curly Simon's room, and Curly Simon has to bunk in with his Dad and Lea in Blanche's old room.
Dev/Fiz: Yes they've had their front rooms 'knocked through' so there's a similar layout in both houses. In Dev's it's made to feel much more spacious and luxurious (notice how the 'shop/factory' bosses, people high up in businesses which live in that house. The Battersby's is more cramped.
Eileen: Eileen is in one room, Jason's in another with Rawsie, Sean is in the downstairs room (which is the 'Blanche' style room in the Barlow household.
Emily: Nozza in one room, Emily in another, and I'm assuming Reets takes the downstairs room.
I think Emily, Eileen, Barlows, Peacocks all have(had) the same layout of house. Why Dev and Fiz are different though...?
I don't understand where these extra front parlours are. Those houses just look like the house I was brought up in.
This is pretty much what I though. As for the different layout I guess somebody altered them as some stage because they wanted a bigger living room. I can't recall if or when they changed, perhapse someone else can enlighten us.
They don't as such. The original houses (not the side that the Websters and Gail live) are traditional two-up, two down houses with a scullery (now used as a kitchen).
In some houses (Barlows and Eileens) the front room is used as a bedroom.
Least in Corrie they don't have more people than can possibly live in the house staying (I'm thinking Pat's house in Enders).
Gail's house always looks spacious from the outside yet all we ever see is a tiny kitchen and sitting room
Claire and Ashley seemed to have a full 'knock through' when they moved into the Webster's old house, ie the scullery/kitchen and the 2 rooms.
I'm not sure when Fiz's or where Dev and Sunitta were done.
Fiz's layout does seem smaller than Dev's but that may be because the kitchen bit is still separate.
I think that's because she has a garage. I presume that one of the bedrooms is over the garage.
I can't speak for the EE, I haven't watched in over 20 years. My girlfriend at the time used to watch it, but I found myself actually getting depressed, so I stopped. Even now if I turn over and it's on I feel a dark cloud descending.
