Steve is finally back from his extended stay in Spain. Nice of him to spend some more time overseas when his daughter had almost burned to death back home, but there you go. Anyway, Steve returns and he’s ranting and raving about Tony’s betrayal. Not good for his mental health, so Liz thinks, and pretty soon she’s resolving to play dirty to get revenge.
Then we have Brian, who’s cock-a-hoop at the news that Julie and Dev have split up. Now, Brian has obviously been reintroduced to the show in order to facilitate Julie’s upcoming exit. But I’d love for him to stay: Corrie needs a resident buffoon and Brian is up there with the likes of Leonard Swindley (Arthur Lowe) and Fred Elliott (John Savident).

And also to a degree, IMHO of course, Reg Holdsworth and perhaps to a lesser extent, Alec Gilroy?

As soon as I saw Michelle standing there alone, I thought "Oh, right, Steve has decided to stay over in Spain for a while". It's one of their regularly used scenarios, probably because the actor is due a break and there was no room on the Norwegian trawler......
Never mind the fact that Steve has businesses to run, Andy might have work commitments, changing the ticket (easy? hard?) and that Michelle might not fancy flying home alone!
13th June I wrote the above, so he's been away for an extra 19 days over and above the (much shorter) honeymoon! Bet Andy is brassed off with him and told him to do one!
If Amy texted Steve everyday, surely she'd have told him about the changes to the pub? I'm guessing Amy doesn't even know Tony cheated on Liz with her own mum.
Stella's backroom has turned into a witches coven! Fiesty Liz calls upon Michelle to aid her revenge plan! Eye of newt, Toe of Dan....
I see the regular scriptwriters are back with a vengeance !
At least Eileen had the decency to tell Michael not to hug in public. But as she bid adieu, who was there spying.........peeking out from behind a curtain?
a) Gail Platt
b) Gail McIntyre
c) Gail Rodwell
Answers on a postcard. Or phone, 0800-ROVERSS. Calls cost 0p from a BT landline. Calls from any other landline may be higher. Lines close before Friday's show, calls after Friday's show may still be casted but may not count as Gail could find herself another husband. Please don't try to vote if you're watching Classic Corrie.........the quality may shock you.
Definately. The women on Corrie brawl on the cobbles and at every opportunity, but the weak Corrie men wimp out of any confrontation once again:D
Even then it's a comedy brawl.
Oh for the days when Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner had words on the cobbles! Corrie should get a couple of their feisty women like Michelle, Liz or Carla to have a good falling out and a really long feud. But they seem to have this rule that the current feisty women aren't allowed to argue with each other.
Yes. Why was Fiz hanging around Roy and following him everywhere he goes?
Because he's been on holiday and now he's due back?
Perhaps I'm being unrealistic (:D) but I think actors shouldn't go on holiday if their character is needed in the show. And if writers know an actor is not going to be there, (surely these things have to be arranged some time in advance??) they should make sure the character's absence isn't going to leave a ridiculous gaping hole.
I appreciate that sometimes there will be situations where an actor needs to take time off immediately, but this shouldn't be the norm.

There really are Tracy Trout's on Facebook!
Poor sole's.
Kirk does the deliveries too
That makes 2 of us.
Don't fancy Tim but I'd love a night out with him. Be lots of laughs.
If that's what he takes home, it's decent enough. If it's only his top line, before tax, then it's pretty shite money.

BIB Well said!
If he does full time which is 40 hours a week it comes out to £7.50 an hour.

Things are getting very tench on here
A new low in a consistently long line of them.
Sposed to be tense. Came across as ridiculous!
The two scenes between Dev and Brian were unconvincing rubbish
In the second one you could practically see them waiting for Julie to come into sight before they started arguing

Ir was utterly pathetic.
