This is a bit of a random and silly thread, but I just wondered if anyone else noticed those embarrassing extras on Corrie tonight when Kevin and Sophie were talking in the car on the street?!

There were about 6 girls at the front of the car and a girl and guy at the back ,all taking photos of the bride with their mobiles. Not only was I thinking "who the hell are they meant to be" but why on earth did the director have them standing in positions where the only pics they would have got was the back of Kevin's head and the back of Sophie's head!! Lol

It was so embarrassing to watch and I was totally cringing at how ridiculous it looked!!

Did anyone else notice this?!

The ones in front will have some lovely pictures of the back of Kevins head.

They were all using those cheap and nasty disposable cameras that you have to wind on lol. No expense spared obviously

Why did none of these girls go to the hen night, it looked like they were invited to the wedding or were they just randoms who happened by Sophie getting into the car in the her dress.

It's not so much who they were that made me start the thread, it was more the way they were grinning falsely and taking pics from ridiculous angles!! Lol

Yes I noticed them straight away! It was completely ridiculous. It would have sense if Sophie was some sort of celeb but obviously she's not.

Corrie always does a terrible job with extras, they always annoy me.

Nobody can beat Eastenders' "stand there and take a verbal assault in complete silence just shaking their head then walking away so we don't have to pay them more money" extras.

Thank you. Corrie is usually very good with extras, so I was surprised to see those girls. I assumed they were friends from church or college, which would make sense.

I will never forget when Pauline was upbraiding a policeman who just stood there and did not say a word. Realistically she would have been cautioned (or in Law and Order, arrested!). I sometimes wish the extra would say "just give me a line, you dont even have to pay me"

Lol! Well how about in EE this week when Kim was screaming at the fireman to get a framed photo out of the burnt out B&B! He just stood there and took it all,then meekly obliged....how very realistic!!!

I agree, why oh why can't they just give some extras a couple of lines instead of standing there nodding when someone is talking to them?? Its so excrutiating to watch!!
