WHAT?!?! I thought that broke the ultimate rule of "work on the Street/live on the Street"...!

Izzy has to be living away from the street, if my memory's correct. Didn't she join the cast as someone who made a date with Kirk via an online dating site? Though Kirk used Jason's photo ( a totally unheard of thing on those websites, I'm sure).

How likely is it that someone on a dating site would make a date with somebody on their own street? Or even within a mile of it.

Though didn't Izzy almost immediately got a job at the factory? Hence she have been living within a wheelchair ride of the street.

We saw Izzy's flat when Gary had his brief PTSD incident and was obsessed with keeping her safe (another forgotten storyline - Gary's PTSD).

It's quite a record nowadays. She has been in the show for six-years and has managed to live away from the street without a burst pipe, flood, house fire, etc destroying her flat and forcing her to live on the street and forget about it.

When Owen lost his money and thereby losing the house the most obvious solution would have been their going to live with Izzie. The outside of the bungalow was shown once and it's a tidy size as I remember. But no, they all had to live in a pokey flat with the added expense of fitting a stairlift for Izzie for when she comes to visit.

Izzy lives at 28 Grayling Street according to Corriepedia. I'm sure it'll only be a couple of inches from Coronation Street.

Later in the garage was pathetic. What were they going to do before Sally turned up - have sex in the garage office? And then there was Tracy who intended to seduce Robert in the Bistro.

No doubt David and Kylie were at in the treatment room at the hairdressers, while Kathy and Roy were having a quickie under the tables before the lunch time rush at the cafe and Liz was in flagrante delicto on the bar flap with whoever she could find.

Like you do.



A week or two back, I posted a old map of Corrie which showed the surrounding streets. Wonder if it's on there?

We have seen Izzy's flat but the sets are packed away when not needed. Corrie probably just couldn't be arsed to get it out again.

28 Grayling Street is mentioned as "location unspecified but presumably in Weatherfield"

It's a specially adapted bungalow and is shown on:

Indeed, ludicrous. Since when do the two of them have a high libido? Portraying them as being like two sex crazed teenagers who can't keep their hands off each other is a joke. They didn't even fancy each other until a few weeks ago, having known each other for years.

Did she need money to send to her nephew, Spider, or am I thinking of a different occasion?

I think this is a Blackburn thing. He did the same in ED with the whole Maurel mess.

I reckon an Anna - Kevin relationship would be much more low key and subdued in real life. But still fairly implausible, it's hard to believe that two people who have known each other for years would fall for each other at the exact same time having previously not felt any attraction......that type of cosy familiarity would usually be a big passion killer.

I know the Corrie residents are well used to murders, fires, kidnappings, tram crashes, etc. happening on their doorstep all the time but David and Kylie's completely non-plussed reaction to someone spread out in the middle of the street didn't ring true.
You'd be at least somewhat curious and not dismiss it completely like it was a dead rat or something.
In fact, everyone's reaction to Carla was a bit off. Anna, Phelan and Kevin took forever to go over to her and then Kate and Aidan were just basically shrugging their shoulders like it was a mild inconvenice. Surely most people on seeing someone related to them in such a condition would act a little hysterical at first!?

They probably saw it was Carla and just thought 'Oh not again...' and rolled their eyes.

I thought David and Kylie were making out it was nothing and getting the kids in the house fast as they did not want Max and Lily to be traumatised by something that could have given them nightmares if they had seen blood and guts all over the road.

Didn't she take some equity from the house from Richard Hillman? She gave Spider money for a juice bar. Was it for that? Not sure how that was sorted after he died because she wouldn't have owned all the house.

Jack and Vera also had some financial dealings with him but of course being the Duckies, they lost their money.

It's implausible to believe that after two dates and one bonk, they would be announcing their coupling to the world like it was a royal engagement or summat. Is that even normal?!

And it was just in time for Phelan's arrival!

This made me laugh out loud! Having your spleen removed is such a soap cliché, every time there is an accident, someone either has their spleen removed or has bleeding on the brain! I'm sure the medical experts who advise on other programmes could help the TV bods to come up with something else?

I met the man I have been with for 9 years on a dating website and it turned out he lived about a mile and a half from me. I'd been walking almost past his house for years with my dogs but we'd never met.

Same with Audrey 'oh I suddenly fancy the pants off ken even though I've known him for 40 years and never ever fancied a hair on his head'

I'd have thought that was pretty close, for a national website.

The Sarah Palin of Weatherfield?

Exactly, he's an old friend that she's known for donkeys years, and yet within 5 mins of his wife dying, she's acting like a lovestruck teenager over him, the daft old bat. Could understand it when she was going all gooey over Nigel Havers (wish they'd bring Lewis back), but boring Ken. I'll bet she moves into his overcrowded, old fashioned house as well.

It is possible for people who've known each other for years to start a relationship but it's usually the case that they've secretly fancied each other during that time but weren't able to act on it for whatever reason.

Suddenly fancying someone you've known for many years is much harder to believe : there's a good reason you didn't fancy them for all that time, which makes the Anna - Kevin and Audrey - Ken thing rather ridiculous.

I find Audrey & Ken slightly less hard to believe than Anna & Kevin which is just so manufactured and silly. They set up the storyline of singles nights and dating just to bring them together but it still doesn't ring in the least bit true. And now we're meant to believe they're doing the gruesome Corrie thing of sex anywhere, at any time, as well as skipping off up the stairs (which we know don't lead anywhere) hand in hand and giggling. Eeew.

Definitely bring back Lewis, the debonaire bounder!
