CS nice nod to the past
Did anyone else love Adam's return tonight when he went into the factory?
It was a nice nostalgic moment and I liked him acknowledge Mike Baldwin. |

Liked his scenes after that but found that one really bizarre tbh!! Semed to me like a rather lame effort to set up a feud between Adam & Aidan!! |

Well it was nice to see the history being acknowledged despite how ridiculous it seemed.
For instance when was the last time Mike Baldwin was even mention? The Grand Baldwin style entrance in the Jag was great & I'm really happy they're making him more Baldwin & Daniel more Barlow!! Great legacy there!! Potential for some great drama & yes I ageee it is always nice to see history referenced, something we rarely if ever got with Stuart Blackburn!! |

I do like nods to the past on Corrie as the scriptwriters need to remember they've got almost 60 years of history that's made the show so successful over the years. I think the next one will be the news of Hilda's passing which I think will come via Kevin but as she's hardly been mentioned since she left in 1987 I'm not sure how it'll be brought into the show. |

I just thought how strange that he could just waltz into the factory past all the usual characters without at least one of them noticing, don't tell me they were actually concentrating on doing their work for a change.

Don't get why it is spoken like Corrie are suddenly acknowledging history when they reference the past plenty of times. Even Mike has been spoken of before, with Ken even commenting that Rob Donovan reminded him of Mike back in 2013.
It was silly to say the least, and of course a whiskey bottle happened to be stashed in the factory. |

Not only would he be unable to waltz into the factory and into the office without Sally, Sean, Beth or Jenny challenging him, but would the bottle of whisky be kept in the same file folder in the am place as when Mike Baldwin owned it?

It was an awful scene, as well as the factory nonsense. It was some unbelievable indulgent rubbish. I'm going to choose to forget it and move on.
I'm hoping he won't be stuck back in the factory, being a solicitor and all, the place sucks the life out of anyone these days. I'd happily see the set bulldozed. |

No I thought it was cringe worthy. The actor clearly is consumed with love for himself and it's quite nauseating to have to endure as a viewer. They should have recast the character with an actor that is less of a walloper.
I'm guessing that the character is supposed to be an arrogant bastard just like his father which is why he is being played as such? It's a bit unfair to personally attack the actor who has barely any public profile to suggest that he is anything like his character. |

At times I feel like Corrie ignores a lot of its past so the Mike Baldwin reference was nice.

Just proves that they don't forget everyone's history in Corrie.

You mean that the character is consumed with love for himself surely? Unless you know the actor personally?
I think we can. safely say that the actor is isn't skilled enough to pull of that level of smarm and self loving convincingly. I've seen the actor in a number of shows and it's the same performance. He's full of himself and pouts on screen. My boyfriend described him perfectly last: "horrid!" Quote:

The actor in question used to be in River City and as I said above it was the same performance. It's too much.
