I'm with the majority on here I like Eva the character too and wish they'd develop the part better, from whenever I've seen the real person playing her Catherine Tyldesley on TV on quiz shows etc I've always liked her too she seems full of fun and a very nice person in real life.
Coronation Street - Suspension of Reality (Part 10)
17 of 569
I fear Emily's been duped into going to Peru under false pretences to visit her nephew Spider Nugent,
having just checked Wikipedia it says he's currently out of work between acting jobs and is living in London.
I know Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted 100% but this is worrying.

Unfortunately, due to lazy writing and a complete lack of fresh ideas and plots, Corrie has become "Coincidence Street".
Absolutely everything that happens now in Corrie is as a consequence of a coincidence. Robert bumping into Carla in a casino is an example. As is Character A bumping into Character B coming out of Dev's clutching the default bottle of milk.

This post makes some good points about Eva. She has always had great potential. But Corrie just use her like ditzy, blonde bimbo they can stick behind the bar in the Rovers. Sometimes she looks absolutely stunning but at other times when she gets arsey, she looks like Lily Savage. And that faux fur coat! We don't need another Bet Lynch.
I can see her as the poster suggests; settling down and having a real life instead of being yet another Rovers' bimbo. How many do Corrie need? If Eva was made more of an endearing character, then the laugh would be more endearing too.”

No Bet Lynch, you are right there! They do show her real potential I.e. in her relationship with Leanne and Simon, then have her chucking beer over people, it's ridiculous, I'd like to see her paired with a genuinely nice bloke maybe moving to Sally's beloved Cheshire
I do think overhearing a remark about some of her more dubious fashion choices would perhaps rein them in a bit, but it would have to come from someone with some style themselves (so I can't think of anyone at the moment, perhaps Alyah and Carla, but Alyah's designs seem to have been forgotten)
Not sure if it's been mentioned before but if so it's a SOR worth repeating IE Todd spending his social time drinking in The Rovers with his Mum and the local Vicar Isn't Canal Street just a tram ride away

Eva's laugh has to be part of the script IMO. Cast members are not allowed to laugh spontaneously during the scenes, it clearly must be written into the script to laugh at that point.

Are Audrey's mmmmm's written into the script?
we have all mentioned the rosamund viaduct arch being a complete SOR and it's sudden appearance in 2000. It also messes a past storyline .
in 1993 there was a storyline with Bet Lynch seeing lorry driver, charlie whelan and they showed his artic lorry parked on rosamund street facing towards the viaduct, which theoretically has always been there.
but it's too low for a lorry to get under.
of course, then, in 1993, there was no viaduct, just a normal street, so it made sense for the lorry to go that way. now it does not.

Not bee around for a while but can someone confirm if the snow on Xmas Day was supposed to be real or fake?
If it was real it certainly melted quickly

One line of thinking is that it started off as artificial but the machine was faulty, then by a miracle it snowed for real overnight. Pass the sick bucket.

I have never noticed an underdevelopment of her parts

... and don't forget the second miracle - that it had completely disappeared by the following day - along with assorted Christmas trees, decorations and a merry-go-round! :

If you had read the rest of my post you would have seen that I agreed with another poster and would love to see Eva's character developed and conceded that the mad laugh might well go with the character.
For someone who doesn't like personal comments made about people, it certainly didn't stop you making some sarcastic and rude comments directed at me in your first reply.
Janet, I've explained my posts to you and pointed out that you are doing much the same to me in your replies as you were accusing me of doing! But please realise this was just a series of comments on a mostly fun forum. So there's really no need for such confrontations and accusations in your replies.

It is mostly a fun forum, but some posters hide behind a screen name to dish out insults to the real people who play the characters. They wouldn't do that if they were using their real name, which I do. To me anonymous criticism of a real person isn't nice

Unless I have misunderstood, Ewoodie thinks, (rightly or wrongly) that The laugh is part of the act, and therefore she (he?) cant have been insulting the actress on purpose?

It may have melted quickly on the street but it was still evident on the New Years Day (last Friday) end of part one/part two indents where they showed a tree with snow still on it.

Is a miracle a SOR or not
Rob seems to have an awful lot of visits, and one of them was even in the evening. Would it be like that for a convicted prisoner?
No visits take place in the evening unless things have changed since my days.
You can accumulate visits (accumulated visits) to have them in a short period, but this is normally for seeing someone you have not seen for a long time and perhaps lives far away. You can also have inter-prison visits if you have a member of family in another prison. Visits normally are one every 2 weeks for convicted prisoners. Remand prisoners can have a visit every day that visits take place as they are still innocent.
I left over 11 years ago, so things might have changed.

Rob's had an incredible amount of visitors for a convicted murderer, but he obviously doesn't consider them to be enough as he said tonight that he gets hardly any visitors!
Robert appears to have been turned into a baddy randomly appearing everywhere however I'm sure St Carla will set her followers on him (foldy arms and Liz) I'm sure they won't stop screeching until he gives in.
They are really trying to show how badly suited Nessa and Ken so we will root for Kaudrey.

Its the same in Emmerdale ...anyone and everyone can visit Charity even if its for just a few mins
SOR: Ken on his high horse about Nessa having an affair.
ETA Come to think of it he is a hypocrite so there is no SOR

Agreed. I'd add that Todd seems to have become a spare part character without much point. Being tested on flowers by Amy Barlow is hardly a meaty storyline.
And - once again - the vicar is spending the evening in the pub making up barmy stories about the factory??
I can't understand when Rob said to Carla on her prison visit tell Johnny he still wants his money.
The whole point of the bribery was so Rob didn't tell Carla that Johnny was her father. Carla now knows so why did he think that Johnny was still going to pay him?

Thankyou - I thought it seemed odd

Perhaps Rob's using up the visits he's accumulated since he's been inside as he said nobody had visited him
