Good evening viewers! Agatha is in his study again, bringing you this Wednesday's discussion thread for Coronation Street. I've had to Blu-Tack a bin liner to the window frame in here for a bit of privacy, as the made to measure blinds still haven't arrived from Sweden so I'd better get on with this before it falls off the window (again).......

Evening Ags

Hello there Cobbleheads

Good evening, all.

Cheers for the thread and spoilers, aggie.

Thanks for the thread, one year since Maddie died She's right up there with Flash as one of my all time favourite characters

Aggies woes sound a lot more interesting than corrie
Thanks chuck.

Evening Cobbleheads Aggie

Has it really been a year since that dreadful girl snuffed it?

Don't forget dearly departed Kal. I've donned a black bra in his mammary

How much would people poo themselves if Sarah ACTUALLY sees Callum tonight? 😂

Thanks for the thread Aggie



Hi all!

Cobbleheads!

May is almost over and time is running out if you’re thinking about submitting a team for this June’s Corrie Challenge game.


Don’t worry if you have played before. The game is a bit like a simplified version of Fantasy Football so if you fancy having a go just read the rules below. And, if you're an Emmerdale viewer you can play the Emmerdale version of the game. Just check out any of this week's "Emmerdaily" thread for instructions.


Anyway, it’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of 11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.


Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to 11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as Captain. This character will have their score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.


Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday Episode Thread to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.

The scoring system works as follows:-

+ 1 point per episode appearance

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.

+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.

+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 5 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

+ Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!

Once you’ve done all that you can also pick a name for your team. This will be listed in the Score Updates.


Your “Starting List” for June’s Corrie Challenge is as follows:-

• Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less.

Evening all and TFTT!

Hi everyone, and thanks for the thread and spoilers Aggie

Evening Cobbleheads.

Roy & Hayley were so believable as a couple.

Roy and whatserame? Not so much.

Correction: TFTT Aggie

Evening all TFTT

Cobblers

'You squeeze it from the bottom'

Probably not the first time Kirkie has said that to Beth.

Chesney

Just dump him Sinead - you could do so much better.

Hurrah! Kirk, Sinead and Don Chesney.
