The Coronation Street thread

Molly and Rita are goners for sure.

Stape blasting The Grinch with that hammer was on par with Austin turning on Angle at The Invasion ppv. The shot heard round the world!

[Daaaaaad!]

I haven't watched Corrie in a while but has there always been a tram near Weatherfield? Or is this a new thing?

The fact the reef flew off the other side gives me the image of her being hit then bouncing off the door.

I got the impression that he twatted her head as she reached the door, creating a hammer/door sandwich with her dome in the middle. The reef flying off was bad ass though.

Only thing that could have made it better is if it was a glass door and she slid down it in great cartoon fashion.

I liked how Tyrone was stood about 5 feet away, and wasn't even phased by the loud thud and the flying reef.

Yeah, it's been there a good few years. It first appeared when they started CGI on the opening titles so that you saw the streets beyond Coronation Street, rather than them having to shoot tightly so you don't see the rest of Granada Studios.

What time is the ITV2 repeat? Is the first episode also repeated?

Here's a HD version of it on Youtube. Check our man Stape out mean mugging at 35 secs +. You can almost see a light bulb above his head as he realises he's going to drag The Grinch's sorry ass into the bedlam in the distance.

He was probably in shock.

[Kata Ha Jime]

After all, he did just see a flying reef.

I don't remember the acting in Coronation Street being as bad as any of this... When did that happen? Everyone seems to have turned into sub-stage school child actors. The script seemed like it was written by kids as well, really cringeworthy stuff. I laughed lots at the tram driver's face though, and the second half of the tram flipping up into the air was quite exciting.

 

I'll watch the live episode later this week in the hope that something might go wrong or someone says fuck (failing that, it's always funny to see people not quite get their cue on time and you get a couple of seconds of them standing still looking gormless waiting to say their lines), and then I'll go back to not watching Coronation Street again.

Is everyone just misspelling wreath for the shits and giggles, or have I missed something?

 

Anyway, the tram crash was great, I don't care what anyone says. Beats an aeroplane falling on a rural country village in Yorkshire.
