That was a truly awful duvet set on David and Kylie's bed. Giant flamingoes wasn't it? Unless it was totally dark that would keep me awake.

In fact I think Kylie had made he bedroom look more like a tart's boudoir rather than a designer one.

Maybe it's because I'm a bloke, but I never see the point in covering the bed with all them cushions or whatever anyhow, all I want to do when at bedtime is get in the bloody thing not stand there removing chuffing cushions from it.

Hear, hear.

That room was a bit like the monstrosity on Changing Rooms, or whatever, a number of years ago.

Talking of extras, I noticed the bloke that often drinks in the Rovers popped into the Flower Shop yesterday when Todd and Billy were talking. Odd that he mooched around in the background picking up random flowers, then brought them to the counter when Billy left. Do people do this in florists? I thought they made up the bouquets for you?

Also odd that he actually spoke!

I agree. She was making the bed up like it was a display in a showroom or in a furniture shop. You even saw her chuck one of the cushions over Callum's former manhole grave because it was getting in her way


In EE whenever we see the cafe or ocassionally the chippy, we always see non-speaking extras working as staff behind the counter along with or instead of one of the main characters. How hard can it be for them to add an occasional random extra behind the kebab shop counter

I've never been in a takeaway shop in my life where there was only one person on the premises. There are always two or three people behind the counter. Bearing in mind that the food has to be cooked and then orders taken which have to be presented to the customer and paid for, you would need an absolute minimum of two people at all times.

Also, Gemma is only a junior assistant who started working a month or two ago. The idea that she would be left running the shop on her own is extremely far fetched.

I think that all test kits have a warning on the back of the box,
"Do not dispose of in a sensible manner. All test kits MUST be left so they can be easily found and waved about in public. THIS IS ESSENTIAL!"

I am sure that you are correct. Someone should report Dev to 'Elf & Safety.
Anyway, don't these takeaways do their best business late at night and in the early mornings? They would need far more than one dopey manager and an airhead girl to be viable.

Well, judging by the amount of stock Gemma was checking in when Dumb and Dumber first threatened her, they must do a hell of a lot of business off air!

Considering that absolutely everybody goes rummaging through the rubbish bin when they go into someone's bathroom, I agree that warning is essential.

People in soapland never place anything discreetly at the bottom of a pile of rubbish though. They always casually leave it right on top and in full view of anyone who lifts the bin lid. Anyone would think they want their secret to be discovered

daft thing being it won't be Simon who finds it when he's the most obvious candidate

Had a chuckle the other night at Leanne with her back injury out and about in high stilettoes..........nobody would have worn those shoes with a back injury.

It wouldn't matter anyway. Even if it was placed at the bottom of the bag it would conveniently burst with the contents spilling over the floor so they can discover the kit.

Sometimes they'll make up a bouquet for you, but most (in my limited experience anyway) are happy for you to go around and pick out your own flowers.

It was absolutely hideous, wasn't it? In fact the whole room was.

Has anybody EVER had their hair cut in Veras ?

ay our kid i didn't know there were another salon on street




thought it was clare sweeny, her off brookside

I wish Gail would. or anywhere. She looks like a sheepdog.

I'm struggling here ... what accent is the Bishop attempting?

When did the Bishop morph into Jez from Gimme Gimme Gimme ?? Last time I saw him on screen he was an old white guy. Was there ever actually any mention of the old Bishop leaving ?

I assumed she was meant to be staggering home from work where the injury has occurred. Though why she'd wear stilletoes to work in KFC or whatever it's meant to be I've no dea

The family portrait looking down on the bed was what got me

I wonder. And since when did 13yr old boys take any interest in anything their parent does? Why was Simon suddenly so interested in Leanne's not feeling well as she stuffed the pregnancy test back into the bag...
If Leanne only shagged the guy about 2 weeks ago how come she is feeling sick so soon? It usually takes a few weeks, at least 5 if not more like 10 weeks before the hormones are enough to make someone feel bad.
I'm sure Nick will be in Leanne's bathroom very soon and will decide to throw something in her dustbin....
