I hate to be the one to tell you but it's going to get worse before it gets worser. I suggest you take a course in mindlesness available at your local community college. It worked for me. I can now handle the bullshit as well as the next one.

MindLESSness. ..was that a deliberate typo

indeed
So obviously a plot device to inject new blood and DNA into the Barlow gene pool

Billy is a horrendous character and needs to be axed ASAP

When he grins he looks incredibly creepy. His character is totally pointless.

I think Tim had already purchased another TV. The original one he and Craig had dropped whilst taking it out of his van as the box had got wet at the bottom and the TV fell through the box.

The replacement one he bought was the one Sally saw and assumed was for her.

I'm sure something similar has been done before with Sally mistaking something as being hers when in fact it was someone else's, so yet another recycled rehashed storyline from Corrie. .

The red lips-shaped sofa?

There was some kind of shawl/sofa drapey thing that she swiped off the Nazir's

It is confusing enough trying to link which day of the holidays is being portrayed on screen with people having meals or parties that do not tie in with the Christmas activities as practised by normal human beings, perhaps because CS cram five episodes in four days, Fri to Mon. Then we get several days without any episodes.

Anyone guess a reason?

What a hilarious storyline that was.

Yes both those sound familiar so it's not just once they have done it before but twice and no doubt they will do it again a few times more why bother thinking and writing new stuff when you can just recycle and rehash the same old stuff.

I thought i was the only person who didnt llike Billy!! If ever a man should never smile its him

What? You think they film in a real hospital. Do you think Casualty and Holby are documentaries

[quote=sonofjack;84992999]What? You think they film in a real hospital.

If you mean TV companies generally, In a word - yes.

Or in three words - without a doubt.

Do YOU think Corrie build sets that look exactly the same as the outside
of the main entrance to Salford Royal Hospital so they can film to exterior shots of 'Wetherfield General'?

The private ward that Corrie patients always go to seems to be a real medical private room judging from the corridors and other rooms adjoining it - perhaps in a private hospital where there would be less potential for criticism over use of facilities.

[quote=Lost Tripper;84993336]
They'll film outside a real hospital for exterior shots and build sets for interiors. This is nearly always the case with tv shows/movies. They'd never take up a room in a real hospital.

Wow i thought you were joking originally!!. No they dont use a real hospital rooom
LostTripper could you please learn to quote,

[quote=stevepjk;84993429]
That isnt my quote, i am bright enough to know better.

[quote=TheGraduate2012;84993413]
LostTripper never said that, he is convinced they use real rooms in real hospitals

And at least twice in every episode we have to see them full on the lips kissing and smooching. In my view Billy would make a very good Norman Bates.

Sorry to disagree but many years ago I spoke at length to a locations manager for Granada TV about his work which included finding locations and the efforts to make then to make things realistic, especially period stuff and by comparison CS current standards are downright amateurish.

At that time he was working on a series called Medics in which Tom Baker played a leading part. The locations manager said that much of the indoor filming was done at Trafford General Hospital in an unused large ward. Other local hospitals were used at various times but he said Trafford was the main one at that time we spoke. This man was extremely interesting and he spoke of how the ward was kitted out by medical equipment manufacturers eager to get their products shown in this very specialised form of product placement. In the series itself a plaque was visible in the reception area. Those who have been in in Trafford General at all, might well be aware of this plaque and the significance to us all. The writing on the plaque could not be seen for obvious reasons but if anyone wants to look up 'Park Hospital Davyhulme 1948' they will see what the plaque commemorates.

In the late 1990s another friend who has worked in a senior position at Trafford for many years, confirmed that parts of that series were filmed indoors at that hospital. I have no doubt both my friends were telling the truth. The internet, a much less reliable source than them in my eyes, reveals the following use of hospitals in that series.

Ancoats Hospital, Old Mill Street, Ancoats, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK
(as Henry Park Hospital)

Hope Hospital, Stott Lane, Salford, Greater Manchester, England, UK
(Henry Park Hospital, interior, 1990-1994)

Prestwich Hospital, Prestwich, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK
(Henry Park Hospital, operating theatres, 1992-1994)

Tameside General Hospital, Fountain Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England, UK
(Henry Park Hospital, exterior, 1992-1994)

Trafford General Hospital, Davyhulme, Greater Manchester, England, UK
(Henry Park Hospital, interior, 1992-1994)

Hope Hospital is now called Salford Royal and it is a fact that the main entrance area is frequently is used in Corrie scenes with ambulances and patients coming and going. The private ward shots might be done there as well, I would hope not given the problems of the NHS.

The doctor with the mop of hair in this clip seems familiar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt9ZD2_J8tc

Read my long post instead of making silly sniping comments and with luck you will learn.
