Good evening Cobbleheads, and welcome to this Wednesday's Coronation Street episode discussion thread!




Ciao!

Evening Ags

Hello there Cobbleheads

Good evening, all.

Cheers for the thread and spoilers, aggie

Thanks for the thread Aggie


Catching up with tonight's episode of Pointless at the moment ....


Hi all!

Cobbleheads!

November is here and time is running out if you’re thinking about submitting a team for this month’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 November’s Corrie Challenge is as follows:-

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

Evening all!!

Thanks for the thread Aggie, loving the Radiohead reference!!

That's what happens when you have the extra chili sauce

Evening all and TFTT.

Thanks for t'thread and spoilers Aggie.

Evening Cobbleheads.

TFTT Aggers, old chap.

Evening all, watching on catch up tonight so won't be joining you.

Shame about the comp, just couldn't make the lead last another week!

Evening all, more Nazir's nonsense

Does he paint his chin, like Boy George used to when he was trying to pretend he wasn't getting fat?

A question we've all been asking ourselves for the last year, Yasmeen.

It's shocking how you get storylines Maria.

A retro-perm??? Is that how they explain Liz's 80s bubble perm?

Do we still call them SOCOs in this country or is that another thing the Americans have taken away from us?

Don't talk to Steve for too long Maria

His super sperm will get you

These two are as believable as Chesney/Katy.

Rana's wearing one of Izzie's coats.

Zeedan: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laid something so massive on you."

Rana: "Massive? Don't mean to be cruel Zeedan, but it's 4" max..."

The van was marked CSI and the Who was playing on the radio.

I will admit that after an unpromising start Rana has grown on me since she and Zeedan got serious.
