    BIB Her new favourite word. It replaced books and library!

    Hang on. Are we all saying that Corrie characters are one dimensional and the prog is full of tedious repetition? :o
    No who would ever say that, and nobody is saying that it seems like they use 80% of the previous script again for the next episode :D

    Liz or Michelle mutter "What on earth is she doing here?"

    My friend and her grown up daughter both have EDS and both perform what must seem like impossible feats, and which makd some people doubt their disabilities. I don't know how much worse the actress is, as she seems to need the wheelchair all the time.

    My friend and I were in the disabled enclosure at a gig last year, and she climbed onto a piece of the scaffolding, to dirty looks and muttering. She's genuinely disabled in a way that makes life difficult, and can't stand for more than a minute, but she is fine at pulling herself onto things!

    It doesn't help that there are conmen like the recent case where a "comatose" man was caught shopping, on foot, in Tescos, bit generally, disabled people have good and bad days and can do different things. Sometimes the simplest things are the most challenging.

    I go to the gym and pull heavy weights, but ask me to wash up and I'm in agony, it puts a strain on my back. Lucky we have a dishwasher :-)

    The "why" Izzy was on the worktop is harder to answer!

    It's impossible to believe that Real Gavin and Fake Gavin were such great mates, entirely because of the two-dimensional way they've portrayed Real Gavin. Couldn't they at least have shown him having actual doubts, instead of just putting him into full-on moustache twirling mode?

    It's all well and good having Fake Gavin spout a couple of lines about what a good guy he used to be, but show, don't tell, Corrie!

    I thought exactly this. I couldn't believe for a moment that Real and Fake Gavin would have been friends or that they would have been mountain climbing on Mull. Well, I could envisage FG doing that but not RG who has been depicted as a rough, womanising, sexist pillock, hardly given to strenuous outdoor pursuits.

    Does anyone else find it odd how well behaved the young children are in Corrie? I don't just mean the characters who of course never chuck food at their parents or refuse to have a bath/go to bed or any other normal small child behaviour but the child actors too. In every scene they're in they sit perfectly still on screen mum/dad's knee being quiet or happily playing with a toy (silently) or sit in the pram/highchair again happy & silent. Are they in awe of the cameras or do they just cast impeccably behaved toddlers? If my daughter was a child actor she'd run around the set chucking props on the floor shouting a chorus of "Peppa! George! Daddyyyyyy!" over the actors & there is no way in hell she would sit nice & still on anyone's knee or in a pram or highchair unless there was food & then most of that would get chucked on the floor.

    You're right, that is why I refer to smart Joseph because he looks like he's dressed for a society wedding, not nursery. Corry writers should watch the channel four documentary on four year olds to see how little children really look and behave.

    No young child in soapland ever jumps about shouting MUM! WEEEEE! Or worse still pop it out and piss up the nearest tree, or just wets themselves, in fact they never go to the toilet.

    We all know soap children are not real by the fact they regenerate at puberty so in a few years time Max will be a dark haired tanned skinned plump teenager

    Last week I heard a listeners' feedback programme abut 'The Archers'.
    Amongst complaints were:

    The programme has veered completely from its original countryside roots.

    Storylines are artificial, contrived and too drawn out.

    Acting is wooden and many characters are totally unnecessary.

    People all work in the same close area, no-one commutes.

    All relationships involved people from the came close area.

    The programme is getting too like 'EastEnders'.

    Now where have I heard these complaints before?:D

    Bit of a delayed one, sorry if its been mentioned but would an over the counter urine testing pregnancy test have worked on Faye given how far gone she is? These tests work by detecting the level of HCG hormone in the urine as HCG rises rapidly in the early stages of pregnancy. I might be wrong (I probably am) but I though at around 4 months HCG levels went back down & progesterone levels went up therefore after this stage even though you're pregnant it wouldn't show up on a urine test? This was also mentioned in an episode of Doctors but of course they could have just been making it up!

    Smart Joseph lol yes where on earth did they find him? I've never seen such an immaculate child, especially amazing considering Katy forgets he even exists most of the time!

    The Bistro has an office? Where, fgs?

    The gents' toilet and the kitchen occupy the same space, there's nothing to the right of the bar. The place doesn''t even have any storage space. And when the camera was looking past katy and izzy (another pair of drinks only customers) the bar seemed to be about 40 feet away.

    It probably shares the same space as Gail's cleaning cupboard.

    How weak is supposedly tough Callum? One comment of: "I'm not scared of you" from the ginger shorter Chuckle Brother lookalike (Chesney) and he runs off with his tail between his legs.

    If u watch an old episode before there's any unit under the viaduct the space is absolutely tiny there's no way that bistro would fit there unless its a tardis! What was there between it being an empty space & the bistro - was it Sally's hardware shop?

    Think that was where the kebab shop is.

    Jim McDonald had a motorbike workshop near where the bistro is.

    Any old rubbish written to get rid of little Joseph. What father would willingly send him off to another country at such an impressionable young age, especially Chesney. The volte face in his attitude was a gigantic SOR tonight. Since when do people decide to make a new life in another country at the merest drop of a hat and then clear off almost instantly. The lack of imagination in the scriptwriting team is shocking.

    Don't get me started on the Gail nonsense. Her choice to get involved like that and she can blame nobody but herself for being so pathetic in playing along with fraud Gavin. The fact that she has done so is yet another big SOR.

    Who phoned fake Gav to tell him real Gav was dead?
    What happened to the blackmail money real Gav was given?
    Why doesn't fake Gav just leave the bistro?
    Does anyone really care about Sean and Billy?

    The Bistro has racks with St Julien wine on them. When these cost getting on for £100 a bottle before the customary 200 or 300% mark up I can't see many of them being shifted.
