I watched david platt get cuffed out in his ear , he is a horrible most nastie wee bit of arrogant and defiant lad in corrie a wont say too much as a know you are all behind who is your caracter that bugs ,love hate adore or want to shake them in all the soaps or even other programmes please tell you mus have sombody .



A LOVED STAN AND HILDA aww a heart of gold but mrs nosey as was ena charples poor wee minnie caldwell a loved her aww it is getting raunchy. now so are the others no mary whitehouse as theres to many programmes to watch sky etc she would be demented poor wummin but she was some ticket if sombody swore she went doollay ,it is just aswell she has gone to the big telly in the sky lol get it SKY

I was at the bingo tonight Stuarty [didn't win as per usual] and set my tape for Corrie and Emmerdale but didn't realise that I had set the wrong date so I missed both of them. Will have to catch up on ITV2. I agree, David Platt is a wee psycho who needs a good kick up the backside, not Gail's fluttering eyelashes [wonder how many times she does that in a minute]. He is playing his part so well though. Janice Battersby's voice really irritates me.

In Eastenders, Phil annoys me because I can hardly make out what he's saying. Seems to do a lot of grunting. Also Ian Beale drives me crackers - could you imagine being married to him?

I have watched Coronation Street since the first episode. I cried buckets at Ida Barlow's funeral, she was Ken's mother and I fell in love with Ken at that time and have had a thing for him ever since!! We in Canada are about 9 months behind, I haven't seen tonight's episode but I presume it will be Christmas Day 2006, do you mean David Platt is still being a little @#$%

Some of the 'modern' characters get on my wick, but on the whole I enjoy the program although it is a bit over the top at times. I don't watch any of the other Brit soaps.

Here in Aussie we have Foxtel and I watch Corrie and Eastenders every week night I agree with comments about David Platt, he's a wee sh#*te, can't stand him, Gails a simpering idiot and Norris is a big girl.In Eastenders I find most of the cast are whinging two timing drama queens, but I still watch it, I like Gus, but he's not in it very often now.

I too am a big Corrie fan,well ye cannae really help it when ye grow up up watchin it aww yer day's.I used tae get Eastenders here on a PBS station and really enjoyed it,unfortunately the station dropped the show about 5yrs ago so i lost interest,but at least Corrie is still entertaining.And Elma just wait tae ye see what's about to happen on it..lol,i managed to catch a few episodes when i was over in the UK and noo ahm aww confused as i know wits gonna happen,but the shows are a few months behind here so i'm havin some major Deja-Vu moments.I guess i have been a corrie fan since around '69-70,yes i was hooked early.I can even remember meeting Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) when i was about 5yrs old,I remember her being a Beautiful woman.

I get to see Corrie on my local CBC station.

Of all the soaps, I think Corrie is by far the best. Since day one there has always been a bit of humour in it [I think Rita's one liners to Norris are brilliant]. I agree Norris is a big girl's blouse but he is such a good actor. I loved all the old characters like Elsie Tanner and Dennis her son, Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst, not forgetting Albert Tatlock and Florrie Lindley who had the shop. Hilda and Stan Ogden were absolutely brilliant, especially Hilda who acted her socks off. She was such a believable character - loved her "murials!" and the flying ducks. Great memories of a great show.

Like the rest of you I love Corrie St .My youngest daughter who was only 2 when we came here is also a big fan .Right now I think we are at least six months behind the U.K .If the Platt lad was mine I think I'd be jailed for child abuse .Bev just left and moved out to Shelly so I'm glad she's gone .Norris gets on my nerves and I certainly wouldn't miss him .
We found a site one night and it was all Corrie fans chatting .Had a great laugh but don't remember where it was .They had bets going as to when the veins in Dierdra's neck would burst .They also had bets going as to who would die next .One wag wrote in that he wished it would be them all and then he might get some attention from his wife

Ah used to love Brookside, it had humour and stupidity.

I hate Eastenders as it's nothing like real life, no one in the bloody place has a washing machine and Ian Beale is a turd.

I've always hated David Pratt in Corrie, love to crack his skull wae a cricket bat. Wee Chesney is the best.

Agree with you there Kelticforce, Brookside was brilliant and I was a great fan. Loved the Liverpool humour and never missed an episode and was gutted when they took it off. I also used to like Family Affairs on Channel 5 but they took that off as well.

aww kelticforce am in stitches with your comments ,they are so funnt but so true. Chesney is a doll and so is fizz wait until you see her what a doll. Now a tell you and gaels mad hubby david is turning out to be just like him god, evil plus ,,,,,,,, put the d in front of evil and that about sums platt upand theres worse to come belive me grrrrrrrrr

Brookside was my favourite soap loved that Barry Grant so cool really missed it when it ended.

Detest Eastenders load of drivel, i have fell away from Corrie for a while now David Platt is a great wee actor thats why we hate him, i will probably get pelters for saying this but i think Norris and Roy are the best actors on the show

naw norris and roy should move in the same hoose both sweety wives and well matched

Used to watch the soaps years ago , couldn't tell you who's who anymore. The story lines just got way too much. I also didn't want my children seeing it and thinking that's the wat life is. I know some of it probably is , but i feel its just got out of hand. We have children here that watch it all the time , and some of the conversations i have over heard about these programmes between them would make your hair curl. Maybe i am just being old fashioned about it ,but some of these kids are really young ,what sort of future are they going to have if they base it on soap story lines? I'me getting old are'nt I ?

Agree with you Angela Chick - Norris and Roy are two of the best actors, along with David Platt. They must be when we can get so p....d off at them.

Here is a web address to a Great Corrie site,it gives ye cast bio's,character's past and present,Chat room and loads of other stuff.Give it a shot ye might like it.
P.S. Terry Duckworth is still the worst git on corrie...well mibbe charley is a close second.

Ah wish we could have more good drama. Remember ' The Wednesday Play' and 'Play for Today', one soap is much like another these days and it's all we seem to get on tv.

Here ah um a few year back serving a pint in the Queen Vic, ah got sacked cos the wee wummin was under age, ah knew she wis under age cos it wis oor Nas but she'll end up an alky like me so whit wis the harm.

The next wan is me demonstrating in the square tae get ma job back.

The last wan is Nas using her cockney genes and stealing Charlie's taxi

Great Pics Kelticforce,ye look like ye belong behind the bar.

Oh ah think that should be plural .....

java you took the words right out of my mooth oooops kelticforce you look like dirty dens brother

Aw christ no heard that wan in a while, Dirty Den, ah wis glad when he wis killed in the 80s to get peace fae that nonsense.

Me behind bars, now who could ever agree wae that. Whit wid ma weans dae withoot me. Ma Eastenders are bad enough with their dipping pockets and climbing doon chimneys tae rob hooses, whit wid they be like withoot a father figure.

Mind ye wee Chesney hisnae went aff the rails since Les vanished

Exactly MHG they rest of them aint even worth mentioning ma pal used to say that Gail looked like a tortoise

kelticforce did you know: they brought dirty den back to life as the ratings were dropping but it was not the same they even brought sharon back anaw; and well the mitchell brothers have been deid more a care to mention they have nine lifes a tell you a think they are vampires only come back at night

That's the website I have on my favourites, I read it all the time and cheat by reading what is coming up next as they have both the story in detail and the text of each episode.

I agree that the characters we love to hate are probably the best actors. Do you mean that David actually gets worse than he is right now (for us), I like Roy I think he is a sweetie but I can't stand Cilla...........oh I could go on and on

Kelticforce wit d'ye mean by "since Les Vanished" did cilla do him in or somethin???och i'm gonnae have tae go and cheat and look at the corrie web site.The last episode i saw here in Canada,was the Episode were David Told Maureen(in front of everyone) that Bill was sleepin wae his Granny.I think the street has their new "bad boy" for the next few yrs.

Les was sacked fur being drunk and giein away story lines, ah don't know how he left, ah'm sure he just vanished.

David has a few worse bits to come, the worst bit being that he's still breathing, ah cannae stand the wee git, two people ah would cheerfully blooter the heids aff wid be David and Ian Beale fae eastenders.

To malky they two wae a crowbar wid make ma day.

Anyone tell us who this boy is that was scaring Beale as Cindy.

Kelticforce, you are a knockout. Can't stop laughing at your last post. I also would like to know who this "boy" is? Didn't recognise him at all.

Neighbour over the road earns a wee bit of extra cash as an extra on Coronation St. Manchester only 45 mins from here. She said the cast are all lovely but the nicest of the bunch are Haley and Fizz. As for wee Chesney she described him as a "Stuck up little git!" I love my Emmerdale but I could smack Sam Dingle in the face as soon as look at him! and for all our Antipodean friends on the boards I love my Neighbours.

Bring back Annie Walker.

ok a will go dig her up noo will a want ena and minnie anaw aswell as elsie and jack and uncle albert stan and the list is adinfinitum

Maryhillgal, we kin share the crowbar.

I have met many of the cast from most of the soaps, drove them about and found most to be good company. Les Battersby did like a beer and tried to get a hold of a burd from emmerdale.

Picked Grant Mitchell up on a Sunday morning after a night out and he was still half cut, he bought half of McDonalds and demanded ah try to eat it with Him.

Barbara Windsor is a diamond, even when in a hurry had time for everyone.

Anyone remember Alec Baldwin, was that the right name. I picked him up the night he signed for Corrie, originally for 6 episodes, he went to LAittle Venice to celebrate.

Ah'll no bore ye but one arse I must mention was the guy from Duran Duran, the Taylor who wore the make up, one obnoxious cretin, the only person I remember wanting to put up the wall and stick his heid through the 'Square window'

The rest were great.

I was oblivious one night talking to the burd in the back, anyway eventually I cotton on and say 'You sound like that burd oot Coronation Street, that Sally Webster, she burst out laughing, aye it was her.

Anyway if someone could hire a gun, we can now widen the hate list to David the pratt, Ian Beale and noo Wee Chesney fur being a wee stuck up git, feed the little runt tae Schmeical, ah bet ah never spelt the dug's name right.

We used to get old episodes of Take the High Road, it was great for us Aussie/Scots to see the magic scenery of Loch Lomond and to hear some good patter.
We have to put up with the crap acting of Neighbors and the pathetic other soap called Home and Away.
As for other UK soaps as Linda says you have to pay for them on the pay Channel.

Aw Stuarty, I am still laughing at you going to dig up all the bodies! Dae ye think yer Burke or Hare?

For all you Glasgow exiles - River City is not a bad soap. I only started watching it about 3 months ago but have become quite hooked on it. Isabel [Blair's Stores] from Take the High Road is in it and goad has she got a right pan loaf accent - pure Kelvinside [or Morningside].

I love the British soaps,Eastenders, Emmerdale Coronation St
Been watching Coronation Street forever,
We eused to get Emmmerdale, then they cancelled it,
Evan although I phoned 100 times asking them why?
I miss Emmerdale,

Must say coronation STreet is getting a bit Rounchy[spelling]? though
Ena Sharples would turn over in her grave if she knew what was happening now a days dont you all think so, ? Cheers ,

Ah'm taking a liberty noo.

The Bill..........Who watches that

Do any of you remember this copper



Poor Sgt Boydon got shot. The wee yin in the picture is his grand daughter, my wee yin, oor Nastasya. This was the run up to his murder. Nas was in three episodes as Sophie Boyden. Whit an escapade, she took crack cocaine in a drug house with Nick Klien and workled with this other copper, christ I can't remember his name but the girls aw loved him.

Whit a way to treat a wean, ah'm greeting noo thinking how ah let her take crack cocaine, how could she no be an alky like her father. Ah'm selling her culture doohn the river.

Sorry the last pic was her mum in the programme, not her real mum. We don't know who her real mum is.

Les vanishes ?? now you've let it oot the bag, we're months behind

Stuarty see while yer diggin, have a wee look for Garnock Way or High Livin....ah miss the wallpaper in they flats....

Can you dig up Florrie Lindley while your at it please Stuarty?

Only really watch Coronation Street. Tried some of the others but could not get into them.

I do remember years ago there being one called Crossroads (anyone remember).

Watching Corie right now, on for 2 1/2 hrs on a Sunday, it is the Christmas 06 episodes, have to confess I do read the web for up to date episodes, like to know whats ahead and if its worthwhile watching.

Has been getting on my nerves latley, getting more like the American Soaps, everyone sleeping with each other, next they will be wearing evening gowns to the Rovers to sup there ale and eat the hotpot.

One thing that really gets my goat is the unmistakable bump that Frankie is carrying around can't they write it in or just not show her below the bust, those big cardies are just not hiding it. They did the same thing with LeeAnne

I think I like Fizz the best, agree with most others can't stand the brat Platt

Oops almost forgot the Duckies, Jack and Vera, who could not like them.

Still watch corrie and like the rest of you hate wee platt. Dont know if it qualified as a soap but loved Hamish Macbeth. Especially remember the episode where the crooks came up frae glesca and buried a guy they had murdered. They were just about tae walk away when a cell phone rang. They all looked at each other and shrugged saying its not mine and thats when the heid yin shouted at them ...you bloody fools ye buried him wi his cell phone. Still think of that and laugh.....andra

That wiz funny andra

Used to enjoy Hamish Macbeth too Andy but I don't remember that bit. Think it was on the Knowledge Network and the announcers always mangled the name of the village which I can't remember now!

remember him smokin puff sume copper mind you a do know a few like that




back to the soaps remember schiue mcfee in crossrods and amy turtle aww noel gordon she was supposed to have been a right diva to work with she had to be called miss gordon and then her son sandy and benny miss diane and jill but they tried to restart that it was a compleat didaster jill done herself in in the pool outside the new crossroads



and remember when sally joined she was so common noo shes got joories in her mooth

Aw christ ah never realised. I better be careful wot I say, your months behind but you must be past where Roy goes to bed with Hayley and tries to have sex, discovering that Hayley never had the final op and that Roy never knew the difference was a ridiculous storyline.

Eastenders has to be the feel good factor, you watch that and thank god your not friggin English. A fiver to anyone who can regale us with the last happy storyline in the doom and gloom soap. You could win the lottery, watch the omnebus episodes and still be in need of valium come Monday.

You have a five iron to chip a 190 yard on to the green with a great chance of winning the Open, would you take it or use the club to take the skull off a few doom and gloomers fae Eastenders.

The Open will be there next year, god forbid they same the same about the cast of Eastenders

naw use a three wood
much more enjoyable sound effect
