Evening folks. The air pollution warnings certainly weren't a con, we've had four staff faint this afternoon and everything's covered in brownish dust here in the East Midlands……… you could say it's all going beige……

ON THIS DAY IN CORRIE HISTORY

A SERIES BY agatha

Just one this week, but it's a landmark - it's 34 years to the day that Ena Sharples last appeared on the nation's "favourite" Street.

2nd April 1980

Agatha's Midweek Ratings Poll will appear as usual as the credits roll. Last week's episode, which was all about Gary and Owen nicking tiles and getting caught by Phelan, was a bit of a disaster, scoring 3.75 out of 10 on mean average!

See you later.

Evening Cobbleheads, thanks for the thread, Aggie

Aww, Ena. I didn't realise she made it through to 1980.

Thanks for the thread Aggie


From the spoilers, and recent form, it sounds like another cr@p episode.

Cobbleheads!

April is here and time is running out if you’re thinking of submitting a team for April’s Corrie Challenge game.

Don’t worry if you have played before. The game is a bit like a simplified version of Fantasy Football so if you fancy having a go just read the rules below. And, if you're an Emmerdale viewer you can play the Emmerdale version of the game. Just check out any of this week's "Emmerdaily" thread for instructions.

Anyway, it’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of 11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.

Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to 11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as Captain. This character will have their score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.

Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday Episode Thread to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.

The scoring system works as follows:-

+ 1 point per episode appearance

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.

+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.

+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 5 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

+ Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!

Once you’ve done all that you can also pick a name for your team. This will be listed in the Score Updates.


Your “Starting List” for April’s Corrie Challenge is as follows:-

• Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less.

Evening all, midweek already. Still recovering from being accused on Monday of being on the 'sauce' when I mentioned the sand from the Sahara covering my car. Told you!!!

Anyway thanks for the thread, it's gonna be great tonight isn't it?

Hope y'all wearing some beige and bashing a lamp shade on a window in honour of our Stella!

I've just come in through the back in honour of her! Lol

Sorry.

And yes it will be good. Drunken Peter is always good value - one of very few actors who can act drunk convincingly.

I agree. He plays it brilliantly. I can only think of phil in eastenders who was as convincing a drunk as peter

Lets get the tissues ready, our beloved Stella is leaving

Thanks for the thread Aggie

Hello cobbleheads and bye bye Stella I for one will miss you.

Brilliant.

Evening all,,,thanks for the thread

Love the meerkats!

Our Stella is departing. A nation shall mourn through the back tonight.

I'm in!

And when he was on crack that was the best three weeks of Eastenders ever

I've got the bunting out and am throwing a street party.

Peter must be exhausted, surely?

That tiny table's new isn't it?

I like to see Baby Oleg
