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

She is still a delusional idiot when it comes to Tracy though. "Rob is a bad influence on Tracy" pull the other one.

It wasn't as funny as the wedding scene on EE just now.

Dierdre has been hilarious recently, who needs Ken? I loved the way she was eyeing the trainer guy up at the Bistro! It's about time she had another affair.

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. |

Deirdre is one of the best things about Corrie. I really hope they keep giving her more screen time.
![]() 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!

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.

I agree AuntieSoap. Liz hasn't had a proper storyline since she's returned but her just being there is enough because she is a classic Corrie character like the others you mentioned. There's so much depth to these characters that I would really miss them if they left unlike some of the others (eg Sean and Izzy!)

I'm enjoying the Deirdre/Rob/Tracy story. There is so much boring stuff on Corrie at the moment, tonight was like a new beginning. Hopefully the Platts and Tina, and even Hayley will soon give way to a bit more of the old Corrie humour. I think moving Rob in with Tracy and 'D' is a good move.

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.
Her explanation of why she failed a driving test was the funniest thing I saw on TV in December TBH. |

I love Mary.
Her explanation of why she failed a driving test was the funniest thing I saw on TV in December TBH. 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. |
