He started wearing hipsterish specs a couple of eps ago. Every so often he puts them on, takes them off... Carla made some comment about it. Is this going anywhere I wonder? Or just one of those Corrie comedy quirks we know and love?

It's so he can look in the mirror and practise his lines

"Are we cool?.. No you're cool! Who me?... Yeah, you - you're cool!"

He,s gave them to Kal

I noticed Kal has also recently started wearing specs, what's going on?

Dodgy specs from Barlows buys

It's to scrutinise the 'wonderful' script.

Kal looks like Joe 90...

That's who he reminded me of!!!

So he can see over his moobies

Ooh, have I mixed up Kal/Leanne and Peter/Carla? Or are they both wearing specs?

I've seen pics of Chris G wearing specs offscreen but not in the show I don't think. He looks gorgeous in them.

Think you've hit the nail on the head there Oldnj. Apologies everyone. How do you rename a thread?!

Ok so now I ask my snarky question about Kal. Where are they going, putting The Pecs in specs??

I think you only have about half an hour to amend it yourself. After that you have to ask the mods to do it for you.

I was wondering about Kal's specs too. I was already thinking about some future court case where the Defence lawyer starts to call the witness unreliable because it was dark and he wasn't wearing his specs.

He said they were reading glasses but he seems to wear them regardless of whether he's reading or not. Surely this would destroy one's eyesight?!?

....maybe they are trying to make him look older/more mature in readiness for his teenage childrens arrival?

Thanks O. I checked the FAQs and it turns out you have an hour to edit posts, but it didn't mention anything about thread names.

Oh well. I'd like to say I was having a senior moment, but I've been mixing people up all my life Nice of DSers to treat me kindly

Kal wears them as well. Maybe they will get swapped over in sone strange plot twist.

Oh, you meant kals specs.

It was a very reasonable freudian slip. You saw Kal looking hot in spectacles and imagined the even more handsome Peter sporting them. It's easily done I imagine these kind of things myself, often.

Why don't you go and have a cold shower, Trev.

Being short sighted doesn't make either of those two impotent losers interesting or attractive in any way.

He looks cute in his specs

He does! But then for some reason I find almost all men in specs rather hot. Maybe it gives them the illusion of intelligence?

Dunno, but actor Chris Gascoyne looks fab in his and even Kalorie is improved by the specs. (Draws the eye away from his moobs).

There's no need to display these signs of jealousy Mo. I'm sure you're awfully hot too

Now back to Peter in his spectacles . . .

I'm going to overlook that remark Trev while you're new on here.

That style of specs does give a man a certain something. But with Peter I'd find it hard to get past the fag breath and tatt overload. So Kal wins, cuddly is not a deal breaker.
