Just for the sake of diversity and equal opportunities, I think this thread needs to exist.
Now:
Did Shelley remind anyone else of Marjorie Dawes at the end of tonight's episode? I'm thinking specifically her tone of voice during her ill-fated little "I told you so" speech to Charlie. It was spooky, I thought.

OMG! That's who she sounded like it! I knew it was someone.
And anyone find Charlie attractive. In the way older man are only allowed to be?

Except when he eats. And when he wears that too-gay-for-him cropped white t-shirt with plunging neckline.
He's like a very cheap backstreet Stanley Kowalski*.

It was spooky, I thought. Having read your post first and then watched the ITV2 repeat, I found her absolutely hilarious. But, by turn, equally shocked at his ripping out her earrings. I 'like' how they've done this storyline, letting it build up slowly. By allowing it to brood, they've done much better than a flash-grab two-part episode. And! Lulu! Thelma! Fucking hilarious. Her bellydancing the other night was inspired. Kudos to Les's comedy fight scene too. -A |

I like the Shelley storyline, it's like classic Bet Lynch/Elsie Tanner.
I know Charlie's fit but he doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. He's just so preened, you know in that way some gay guys try for that tough, rugged northen guy look but you just know it took them hours to achieve it and you know they play polo on the weekend.
I much prefered Peter, he might have been uglier but he definately pushed my buttons.

Personally my issue with Charlie lies in my inability to decide whether or not it's him in the "get rid of your reading and writing gremlins" adverts. I sit there debating it, and by the time I'm weighing up the merits of the different haircuts that hinder the case, the scene's over, we're on a close-up of Shelley doing her sad-and-confused face, and I'm still none the wiser.
Just dump him, Shell - he can't read!

It were an onion bhaji, not a bag of smack.
Eastenders needs lines like this.

Something has happened to Dev and Sunita (apart from being stalked / framed for bigamy / set on fire / almost blown-up). Somewhere along the way they have become interesting. Well, Sunita kind of always was, but it took a very long time for Dev to come across as anything other than a complete cunt. Like so many previously-plodding Coronation Street characters, when they stuck them together with someone else, they became fantastic. Les got Cilla, Steve got Karen, Sally and Kevin got each other after their many separations but they learned to be interesting, Gail got a serial killer etc.
Fred telling Dev what everyone really thought of him last night was great. As were Rita and Norris, being shamelessly two-faced. And Sunita in a tailored jacket, which made her turn into Maya, kind of, for a bit. It's only in the eyebrows at the moment, but it'll work it's way down, hopefully. She charged Norris 50p for a pint of milk the other day. Doesn't that seem like an awful lot?

I consider that cheap...it's 10p more to buy it from the canteen where I work.

Damn my Freeview box and its inability to show ITV channels. I want to see Norris's book group! Liz reading, in heels! Unimssable and here I am missing it. |

It's probably the BBC's way of lowering your resistance to moving to Manchester. Fight it! (Having said that, I'm sure I've bought two pints of milk, or 1.77777 recurring litres, or whatever it is now, for 60p. I'm just saying.) Milk aside, is this whole Tommy / Katy / murder / suicide / death stuff going to kick off on March 17th, End Of The World Day? Because that would be nice. |

I thought that too, but March 17th is a Thursday, a non-Corrie day. My guess is March 11th, to compete with Comic Relief. Although adding in a couple of episodes to cover comas then death etc, there's still time for Craig to link the two together. |

The phrase Kiddy Fiddler is not used nearly enough for my liking.

What a BITCH Sally is. Covering her own back like that.
Why doesn't she just tell Tommy that Kevin has some kind of cock disease.

Quote of the year award to Cilla and Yana. I can't quite remember it exactly, but it was something like:
CILLA: The dog bit our postman, and he died of rabies.
YANA: You'd be surprised how many dishy men walk their dogs on the Red Rec.
CILLA: Any foaming at the mouth?
YANA: No, but a couple are definitely interested.
Hehe!

I don't think Kevin has had the snip, he did father the dead baby of the mentalist who tried to pilfer Bethany and then ran into a truck. So if her and Kevin are still fucking and not using condoms, is she then on the pill, and if so it doesn't matter if her bit on the side stirs the porridge. Unless she suspects he is riddled, or she thinks she is herself. |

Considering most soap characters spend far more time in illicit beds than they do in their own, I'd think all soap characters would use condoms as a matter of precaution. By rights, if they don't, most of them should be riddled by now. |
