Did Ernie Bishop really have a CB radio briefly as stated by Emily tonight, or is that supposed to have happened off screen? I know Eddie "Slim Jim" Yeats famously did, it's how he met Marion or "Stardust Lil"...

I'm pleased Miss Hell managed to sort out the confusion of exactly how the different Connor families are related.
There I was thinking that her, Liam and Paul were first cousins with Aiden and Kate because their very Irish sounding dad was brothers with a not so Irish sounding Johnny; but if they're second cousins then it is more believable. And less icky that Carla married her third cousin...

................How did Tracy get into the kitchen? It looks like she entered through the fire escape but do those type of doors have a handle on the other side to allow entry?
Indeed, a door suddenly appeared on the long wall, at the same end as the door on the short wall, and the door on the other long wall. And I'm sure we saw some sort of store room just along from the door.

We could clearly see a window on the other short wall, so where's that supposed to be?

And who were the two or three other people we could see in the background, who've never been there before?

<several days behind>

Robert going shopping on Xmas Eve? Isn't that one of a resturant's busiest days?

and WTAF is all that table tennis in the factory shyte about?
Table tennis, cringeworthy Corrie comedy!!!

And does Robert remind you of the wooden Cuprinol man you used to see on TV??

Michelle's acting was outstanding tonight. Instead of just pretending to drink from a mug, today she got to stand in the back room shouting at Johnny with her eyes goggling out on stalks, scary


Miss Hell back to her feisty best!

Here we go, another "Carla moping about and being the victim" storyline

Tonight we had the same old same old which was:-
Carla running straight to Miss Hell to whinge and complain. The person she complains about turning up and Miss Hell ordering them to leave.


No doubt the next part in this exciting story is Carla knocking bad more red and moping about feeling sorry for herself. Johnny will be treated like enemy number 1 despite not being the only character to have an affair. The gobby bitches at Underworld will be making remarks and giving him the evil eye for upsetting "Mrs. Connor", forgetting of course he is their boss and it is his money put into the factory.
Really think Corrie should do a 'Carla Connor addiction of the week' running gag.

Cocaine, kleptomania, letters, betting, smoking, sowing, plastic surgery................the possibilities are endless!

We had a lot of close ups of Carla tonight, being all dramatic. How come her eyebrows and brow didn't move in the slightest? It's as though they were frozen in place.

They all are embalmed, layered with makeup and botox.

Dear oh dear



I know they're not bosom buddies to put it mildly, but why was Leanne acting like Tracey was her worst enemy. And that scene wins the award for most unrealistic snowball of the year. (Also where did Simon go?)
Tracy is responsible for the fire that caused the death of Leanne's fiance, Kal. I'd be kinda mad at Tracy if I was Leanne. I agree with the rest of your comments though.

Beth is kind enough to put her up in her and Kirk's house (or is it Chez's?). Anyway, Kirk and Craig live there but Tracey gets away with crushing their ball!
That's exactly what I thought. She's a guest in someone's house yet what gives her the right to damage their property (the ping-pong ball)? If I had of been Beth I would have put Tracy in her place and told her to remember whose house she was in.

They were positivley bulging and that black eyeliner with the stupid flicks didn't help.

Tonight's episodes were truly terrible, but some SORs stood out for me -
À
Why was the factory open on a bank holiday? Why was the prison open for visiting on a bank holiday?

Are business contracts really decided by a ping pong tournament?

Who cleared up all the fake snow, Christmas trees and other tat from the street?

If Gary's around where did he spend Christmas Day as he wasn't with his family and he had no life outside the street?
Indeed. On a bank holiday as well. And did we have to have Sally going on about Cheshire to the posh woman yet AGAIN?!

I have to say although I agree with all of this if I'd been Ken I'm pretty sure I would have sailed away on Martha's barge with her.

I will always remember the scene where Martha gave Ken some home cooked soup,, I think it was Ham and Peas, maybe I'm wrong, but anyway Martha cooked a lovely looking home made version and then Ken went home and Deirdre had a tinned version which came out of the can in a large sludge like mess.
Think it was leek & potato!! (Yes I really am sad enough to remember that!!)
Sorry Dave but I'm sad enough to remember it was leek and potato. The memory of Deirdre slopping it into the pan and Ken's face showing his disgust is forever ingrained in my memory. You are right about Ken he should have taken his superior self off and left Deirdre to find a less judgemental snob. Have to say though fancy both women deciding to serve soup and the same kind! Who's a thunk it?!

Botox. The woman is up to and beyond her eyebrows in the stuff!

Table tennis, cringeworthy Corrie comedy!!!

Carla and her addictions are Corrie's answer to the Lloyd Bridges' character from Airplane!

Did Tyrone arrange for all that snow? It looked like it was in the Barlows' garden too. How much must that have cost? I know Ty's gone into debt to pay for it all but even so, it looked like the type of stunt you'd need to be super rich to finance.

The Christmas episode was weird - it was like they'd totally given up on making it in any way realistic. The outdoor scenes looked like The Andy Williams Christmas Show, or Quality Street or something
I'm surprised that dreadful lit up festive Coca-Cola articulated truck didn't suddenly curl into view and onto the cobbles of CS for some product placement.

Underworld is a business, right?

Well it seemed to resemble how I recall the last day before the Christmas holiday began in school when we all played games that we brought in instead of doing much schoolwork, including using the table tennis my school itself had too.

What a childish carry on. Surely Underworld will be going bust in 2016 on the evidence available.

This is what I find so stupid and pathetic and laughable about the soaps; how people constantly live with each other, and distant relatives who have not seen the people in the street (or square) for decades, just move in. If a random second cousin of mine who I had not seen since 1979 came to my house and expected to live here, I would send them off with a foot up their @rse. I am not even keen on visitors, and start watching the clock after half an hour when they're here; I am pretty sure I would never have anyone living here; and certainly not a flippin' work colleague!

And everyone in the Corrie (And EE) seems to share 2 bed terraced houses with 10 other people. WTF! Daft. Just daft.
It's also ridiculous how they get a job within a day of appearing. That silly cow Vanessa getting a job at Audrey's is singularly the most stupid storyline this year (for me.) As if that would happen. Audrey hates her, she doesn't know her that well, and the woman is not a qualified hairdresser! 'Oh I cut my niece's hair once in 1980, so I can be a hairdresser.' How about I administered some aspirin to my nephew in 1990, so I am a qualified doctor!

Stupid!

And re Tracey; I agree. As if her dad would have thrown her out for sort of two timing Rob! And then let Rob stay while Tracey sleeps on the streets!
Your feelings re visitors - you sound just like me; I could've written this myself! 👍😃

What was the stuff about Spider about then? Is he coming back to the programme, or was it simply a means to get in a "story" about Emily prising out Norris's password, so we could all laugh at it being "R1TAKAB1N"....?

Surely there's got to be more to it than that?!

Why do characters always go and sit on Maxine's Bench when they need some quiet, private, contemplating time?

They might as well have a sign above the their heads saying, "I want to be alone, come along and talk to me".....

Eileen Derbyshire is about to take a 6 month break - chances are the character will go to Peru to see Spider

I was expecting Norris's password to be something like CS5TUDMUFF1N.

Martha not only fed Ken home-made leek and potato soup, but scrambled eggs with chives as well.

Much more suited to his pretensions than Nessa. Missed it exactly, but did Amy make some reference to Nessa as the Loch Ness monster?

Mrs Bucket (aka Sally Metcalfe) will now be trying to find a scarf like Mrs O'Discolls' - if she can find out how to spell Qiviut - especially as it as bought in Cheshire.

Took me a bit of googling and trying various searches to come up with the spelling. Apparently is much more luxurious and softer than cashmere and comes from the musk ox - the word "ox" might put Sally off, but I doubt it. The price would definitely put Tim off:

One ball of 3-ply for hand knitting is the equivalent of £30

A woven scarf is around £170 or even more.
