According to the Mirror it was going to be cockroaches, but the were too expensive so they settled on a couple of rats.

“The assistant producer texted me about future storylines a few months ago saying: ‘Everything’s going great by the way, loving your work blah blah blah, how are you with cockroaches?

“I said I was fine with cockroaches, the more the merrier! Then I got a text saying: ‘couldn’t get cockroaches, they were too expensive, it's rats now – enjoy!"

Whichever it was, don't think I'd want to eat at the Bistro, although it;s probably best that we don't see behind the scenes in any food outlet.

You could actually see that the mortar was still wet,
as many have already alluded, to the whole episode was absolute crap.

Can't wait for 6 episodes a week

I am quite intriguing by the layout of the Bistro which is built in the arch of a viaduct, it obviously has the main restaurant and bar area, the kitchen, it would also require toilets for the customers gents and ladies presumably which would need to have disabled access or a separate toilet, I'm pretty sure an office has been seen too and now it has a cellar, oh and it has a fire exit that leads off the kitchen, have I missed anything? .

I noticed the bricks looked new but think I may be suffering from SOR Fatigue. It's a bit like this -




There are so many obvious, everyday SORs now and Corrie just think viewers will accept them.

believe me you DONT want to see behind the scene in some food outlets


yes, the swimming pool, sauna and room for a pony

the only way the bistro can work is if the entrance is in the arch and everything in a building behind it

why was mary there at all?

She had given Beth a lift to the court but yes she had no reason to go in, all she had to do was drop her at the door and leave.

But as we've seen before Mary loves a good court case and has before turned up in the public gallery with sandwiches and a flask (usually with Norris) to settle down for the day

She drove Beth to the court in the company van. First time that I have been aware of Tracey owning a van,

It will probably be forgotten about next week.

It was Michelle on her way to rant at Leanne

so tracey leaves the van behind and gets a bus / taxi to the hospital to see ken

and why would mary have the keys for it

It doesn't make sense. Michelle wouldn't be daft enough to tell Leanne something that Tracey ought to know, because surely she would realise that Leanne's loyalties lie with family (even Tracey) and she was bound to tell her, pregnant or not?


I wonder why they had the stacks of olives all over the office and kitchen when they could have put them in the cellar?

Sorry Honey but you are being logical. Soaps, especially the Street don't do logical, it is not in their remit.

The cellar didn't exist until it was required for David to be locked in it.

why haa dev got a skip, is he having a cellar put in too?

A bit tired now of David and his self-destructive grief.


Gail had two small children when Brian was murdered but was a lot stronger and put her children first.

What a load of tosh this has been. Over dramatic and badly thought through.

He said to Norris he was having the bathroom done...
It surely can't have been just for the random scene where Dev brings Norris a tiny box of stuff he found in the skip...Not even a standard lamp in there with a frilly shade.
David must be going to dump empty petrol cannisters in it or summat.

Obviously Pat must be doing the work as he's the only builder in Manchester. If Dev needs some tiles, Eileen might be able to do a deal on some, not sure where she's keeping them all, probably in her newly discovered cellar

gail said to david she had the children when brian died, and as said, that was before david

in fact if brian hadn't died there would be no david.

He is having his ego redecorated.

The trial must have been going for at least 2/3 days now. Surely it will be over soon and David can be released.

Ah, thanks I missed that.

Going back to the whole cellar thing, if I was David I'd just have started smashing up Nick's wine collection, - surely he'd have to let David out then

There was a photo somewhere that showed a plank conveniently resting on skip ready for car to run up and go on two wheels beginning the accident....not been mentioned or seen where the petrol cans went, and Tyrone hasn't yet found them if they are still in car, he also failed to notice the panic on Gail's face when he said David wasn't bothered about the next mot. But he not really the sharpest is he?

Funny that Audrey hadn't heard about Ken being in hospital. Nor did Mary know the details. At the hospital, the doctor gave all sorts of opinions about Ken's prognosis, within his earshot, not very respectful...

Re: the cellar in the bistro

A few people have questioned whether a railway arch would be big enough for a bar/restaurant and also whether it could have a cellar. There are quite a few railway arches in Manchester that house this type of business. For example, there are a number of bars in the arches under Oxford Rd Station and also some restaurants. There are also several on Whitworth St at the side of the Rochdale Canal underneath the arches for the the Metrolink Tram which would, of course, be the same system that would rum through Weatherfield. One of these is a branch of the Comedy Store and it has its auditorium on the lower ground floor. So it would, theoretically, be possible for Nick's Bistro to have a cellar.

I know it's nothing really to do with corries SOR but........

I've only ever watched Corrie, never bothered with any others, but after seeing the publicity for Emmerdale decided to watch last nights episodes.

WOW, I wonder what the Corrie writers are feeling after watching them?

The difference in acting was unbelievable.

IMO of course.

Sorry, back to SORs.
