There was a couple of mentions of Emily and Peru. That is normally a hint (like Peter being suddenly mentioned), that she is coming back.”

Yes, how come Tracy was happy to spend all morning in bed and leave Mary on her own in the florists, yet in the afternoon she herself needed help from Ken?

No, as already stated, it had already been planned that Shariff wouldn't be in the show for three weeks.

But they also said they would edit out his appearances as far as was practical, which means they have to have something else to replace those scenes.
Are you saying that the totally pointless Tommy Orpington and the skip scenes were just randomly inserted for no other reason than they couldn't think of anything else to put into those episodes to fill the time even before Marc Anwar was stupid?

Yes, they predate Anwar's Tweets. For further evidence, note the various Tommy Orpington mentions since, CS wouldn't have gone to the trouble and expense of re-filming odd scenes just to mention him.
re: sharif leaving
also remember the programme is shot 8/9 weeks ahead so what we are seeing now was filmed in august. post anwar tweets won't be seen on screen till mid december.
look how long a transition it was between the move from quay street in december 13 / jan 14 and the new street appearing on screen in march 14, was about 10 weeks. Also when Anne Kirkbride died in jan 15 we didn't see the episodes filmed round that, with obvious shell shocked cast, till march 15

It also adds sobriety to the occasion. Better coming from him than some gin soaked rummy's.
We all know that Corrie is supposed to be about life in a northern city with a bit(very very large dollop) of artistic licence to reflect that
So how in this day and age is Sir Kenneth of Barlow the only one who it seems has ever been to university, in the past 50+ years. As far as I know around 50% of students who leave school go to college or uni.
As folks cannot leave the street, maybe they need to build a uni campus on the street or Rosamund St

Well they are building a new street off Rosamund Street (widely reported in the papers so not a spoiler). It will include a police station and court and school. So maybe they can put a Uni there.

Police, ambulance and fire are what they need most. The carbon footprint they leave when responding to the extreme amout of calls on that street are horrendous. And that's not counting the idling for hours on the ring road. It's no wonder erp and Roobey are permanently ill. Finally they will be on the scene within the normal four hours and not fill the air with diesel fumes.

Because Sir Kenneth is the only person allowed to show any intelligence of things cultural and highbrow. Others like Mary and Roy might enjoy simillar stuff but that is only permitted under the rules of Corrie as they are weird.
Jenna had two degrees but that was erased from all memory after she left the NHS. She ended working as a drudge in the cafe and as Sophie Webster's bitch.
No-one on Corrie has shown any interest in uni in years. Chesney couldn't really be bothered with his GCSEs and Katy even less so. She was living with Chesney and pregnant by the time she took her GCSEs.
Now Hilda's gone to meet her stan I would not be surprised the Kevin suddenly resurrects the murial in his living room
for those too young to know Hilda lived in Kevin's house 20 + years ago and had a mural on her wall which she called a murial

I know they film that far in advance, but that doesn't necessarily apply to the editing.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coro...-air-tomorrow/
"Digital Spy understands that the storyline features so heavily that it won't be possible for producers to edit Sharif out of immediate Corrie episodes at this late stage.
However, a show insider told us that producers will look at re-editing episodes further on down the line to minimise his presence where possible - before Sharif makes an off-screen exit."
If Tommy Orpington and the skip scenes weren't fillers for that, then the writers must have had some kind of breakdown. Totally pointless otherwise.
And I don;t expect them to wait 8 or 9 weeks to mention the death of Hilda. They did with Anne Kirkbride because she was still in the show and they needed to show her funeral and her family grieving. But it will only need one line to mention Hilda's death.

You still seem to be doubting that the Tommy Orpington scenes weren't already recorded despite the evidence presented by other posters!
Why would you be so surprised that the writers had some kind of breakdown when you are on a SOR thread!
Just seems a lot of totally unnecessary fuss to edit out the scenes with Sharif in, they had sacked the actor why not just leave it at that.

And the ones who do go to uni from the street don't have much of a successful record: Ryan and Amber both failed their exams and left.

It only Craig who's the right age, and he does go to college, he takes the bus there.
Regarding David I would have thought Gail would have told Martin that his son plans on killing himself and Clayton.

That's what I thought. When the actor who played Tommy was caught doing that offensive video he was sacked with immediate effect too but all of the scenes he had recorded were left in.
this morning interview with helen worth went a bit pear shaped when she revealed a future storyline, ands they used a pic of the old set not the new one
