Personally i'm loving the whole Jamie being written as a loves the gays new age man, although it annoys me a large amount the way Violent is constantly underwritten and given nothing to do. The actress is so likable and watchable yet they treat her like shit.

Couldn't agree with you more on that one, Violet is such an underused character and yet she has so much potential. I still can't believe anyone would leave her for that trollop Sarah Lou!

Anyone else think The Rovers and everyone in it have been a bit under used lately? I can't remember seeing Fred or Bev in ages.

According to rumours they have been thinking of casting 'a sister' for Violet, apparently Anne Marie Duff has been linked to the role.

come to think of where does Betty keep disappearing to? Making hot pots. In the past five years, only about a dozen have been made and yet it's still her signature dish.

I like to think that Fred has her chained to the oven in the Rovers' kitchen, producing hotpots on a non-stop loop like a 6 year old in a Thai sweatshop as a way of using up all his condemned meat. And then feeding them all to Beverley Callard.

Is Adam the name of the factory boy? Looked like him & Sean were having a bit of a moment the other day, especially with his terrible Richard Fleeshman-wannabe new hairstyle.

Adam has not had a single decent hairstyle the whole time he's been in it. The hairdressing department at Granada must use him to test their new scissors.

In the pub Jamie and Violet said they were going out and Adam said he'd stay at the pub and keep an eye on Sean and then gave a suggestive look. Adam wouldn't go for Sean though, if he were a gayer. Where is Todd when you need him!?

He has actually touched me.
I thought he left to do more serious acting something. The only thing I've seen him in is Doctor Who. Maybe he's not done much because he's a shit actor. Poor Bruno.

He was in Dalziel and Pascoe the other week. Apparently he's been working in the theatre a lot dahling. If I remember right he was in the League of gentleman film aswell.

Cover of Inside Soap this week: "JAMIE'S SECRET LOVE?" (accompanied by a picture of Sean and Jamie) And the inside headline: "IS JAMIE FALLING FOR SEAN?"
Sultenfuss, people may've laughed at your theory but now you have proved them wrong! Apparantely Violet starts to question Jamie's sexuality in the Autumn as he becomes closer to Sean.

I love Jamie more than any other soap character. He actually makes me swoon whenever he appears. Still not enough to make me watch Corrie though. And he'd be a fool to leave Violet for Sean. She is also great, although I like Sean too. Wow, Corrie really has some likeable characters.

I'm sure this will be well handled and scripted but: No! Coronation Street can't have heteros turning into homos AGAIN.

It would be interesting to point out that ages ago Anthony Cotton was on Richard & Judy telling them that he's signed a new contract etc etc and that one of his storylines would be a love story with an existing character... But surely Jamie would have better taste?

I've thought about it and while I think it could be a very interesting storyline, it bothers me for two reasons: 1. It's a shame they're not planning to pursue the concept that a straight man can be close friends with a gay man without ever questioning his own sexuality. It's a concept seldom if ever explored on telly, and Corrie is one of the few shows I'd trust to do it respectfully. 2. Presumably if something were to happen, then Violet would be upset with both of them, and end up with officially no friends. And that's just too much shit for an essentially highly likeable character like Violet.

I think they can make it a love story without consumating it with Todd and Karl-style bumming, though. Whether they even attempt to is another matter.

Bring Adam Rickett back, along with Todd, and have a big orgy gay old time.
Yes, it would be a terrible plot but it would terrify my mother who watches Corrie devoutly. It would serve her right for assuming I fancied Todd because he's A Gay. It's true but she shouldn't assume!

Nick should come back as the Tory candidate for Weatherfield. I love a good bit of meta.

Hmmn. Well, as the person who put that tease on the cover of Inside Soap, I must confess that it's only half the story; the rest we'll save for another fun-packed issue.
What actually happens is that Jamie confesses to...
Ah. I don't know how to put a spoiler in. I'll go and figure that out.
