I roared with laughter at Deidre, her timing was great, the whole Trcey/Rob scenario was hysterical. Go Deirdre Go.

Because acting like a sad old woman and a moronic 'comedy' character is brilliant. Deirdre has been reduced to nothing but a complete idiot and is embarrassing to watch. Same goes to Gail.
She has barely changed without Ken, I don't know why people keep putting him down. They have just ramped up her stupidity that's all.

Ditto Mary - there is so much they could do with her. She has immaculate comic timing and she can also break your heart. I demand more Mary! :cool:
No and No... see my new thread..
Spoken by someone who gets Corrie 100%. Mary, Deirdre, Norris, Liz, Steve, Sally and Roy are the absolute heart of the show and need to be used as much as possible. Give me a funny or richly entertaining moment with them over affairs and murder and any other Corrie soap staples.
It's in those classic central characters that Corrie has a massive head-start on any other soap... including the rapidly improving EastEnders.
Ah, I thought they went to the rovers for the last time, must have got mixed up.
They did...
There wasn't much of em and not really bad scenes...
Totally agree with every word.
Ohh. Were there many people drinking with them?
This!
Couldn't agree more with this post
Just noticed your location. Didn't realise Corrie was shown in Canada. Do you get the latest episodes or are you a few months behind?:)
Marc Bayliss is hot and given the right storyline I think Rob could be great. Corrie are using so many characters very poorly right now:
Tyrone, Sophie, Dev, Gail, Rita, Peter, Tina and Todd. Character transplants and drawn out, plodding nonsense
I agree with every word and with oldnjaded. I wish the producer would read these DS posts and take note. I think Mary is under-used but forced comedic lines are a bit off. When she was hiding behind Norris when the police were doing street questioning for something and the police officer said' Don't I know you?' and she said something like 'I haven't touched a chainsaw since that day'. That was gold . Also Norris' expression of shock/horror was well timed too.
I love Mary.
Her explanation of why she failed a driving test was the funniest thing I saw on TV in December TBH.
Completely agree, and Corrie are right not to over rely on her, yet they have never embraced her as a whole character. Give us more Mary, a glimpse into her backstory.
She has all the makings of a classic Corrie star yet she's sidelined for Tina and Peter and the increasingly dull and repetitive Tisley/Platt nonsense… why?
Give me character over plot please! Corrie has some really great characters on the books as it always has, but it has never misused it's assets so poorly. Corrie at it's best always revolved around characters with plot used to display the characters.
Now they've inverted the formula and it doesn't work.
They've brought Todd back and we are to believe that the genuine and honest boy that departed 10 years ago has returned as a ruthless and manipulative man. Yet there has been no examination of that at all nor have his nearest and dearest noticed this massive change. Instead viewers are now expected to accept him as the male Tracy Barlow. It's not that simple and it doesn't work.
I did laugh when I heard that, I think Tracyluv is a bad influence on Rob!
But of course Diredre is blinkered when it comes to Tracyluv.
You have hit the nail on the head...
