because every forum needs one.

Well, it's been dramatic this week! And typical bloody Dev, talking over Sunita's dying words as she tries to tell him something important. I wouldn't have been disappointed if he'd been squashed by a flying tram.

And Ken's hair! It should get a credit all of its own.

Is Ena Sharples still going strong?

Whatever happened to Lofty?

Did Betty's Hotpot survive? <snarf>

I'm watching the 50 moments voted by viewers programme, and I can remember more about Corrie than I can about actual important stuff that I need to remember

There was a point, during the tram crash that I fully expected to see Godzilla looming over the bridge.

I'm not saying it was overly dramatic or resembled a scene from Thunderbirds or anything.

Basil · « **Reply #6 on:** 07 December, 2010, 10:27:31 pm »

Where's Lofty?

I demand to know.

Adam · « **Reply #7 on:** 07 December, 2010, 10:27:42 pm »

It's good to know the Crossroads set designers have managed to get new jobs.

It did look like it had been done on a Spectrum. But the tram driver's anguished face as he plummeted to the ground was like that bit in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I don't remember any trams in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Lofty wasn't in Raiders of the Lost Ark, you idiot!

Jaded · « **Reply #11 on:** 07 December, 2010, 10:42:50 pm »

Wanted to watch, but couldn't. Because.

Was it the ghost of Alan Bradley driving the tram?

You know it's a northern show when trams are a main cause of death.

What next? An explosion at the tripe factory? Mauled to death by Whippets?

Adam · « **Reply #14 on:** 08 December, 2010, 09:31:59 am »

Wasn't it a trolley bus that killed Alan Bradley?

And Croydon has trams!

Yeah, you're right (I had to google). Clearly, I don't watch Coronation Street enough.

Poor Kirst! Starts a serious thread and what does she get?

(wish I could contribute further but it's months since I've watched it )

Or visit Blackpool

I'm not sure which is the least bad option.

We watched it.

It was shit enough that it has cured Mrs GB of her Corrie habit.

You know viewing figures are starting to fall when they resort to a disaster and killing off a few of the cast to bump up the interest levels (Emmerdale 'plane crash of '93 anyone?).

The best bit of that was using a lorry full of pipes to fill the stream and make a bridge. Inspired.

Now I'm depressed. I was wondering to myself about how they could so blatantly rip off the plot from another soap that shares almost the same slot with corrie and on the same channel, and can't have been more than four or five years ago. 1993!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Has Seth really been gone that long?

Anyway, why is Dev still alive, and being paid as well? To misquote a popular song.

I'd prefer a nuclear strike to a tram crash but give thanks for small mercies...

Al-Qaeda threat for Coronation Street | The Scum |"News"

If there has been a bigger lot of bollocks published by any national "newspaper" today then I'd love to see it.

nah, god no - seth didn't die in 1993!
much later - way after 2000
edit: the plane crash was in 93 but seth survived
