I feel classic ‘used’ sets and locations better if that makes sense.
Just the last couple of episodes I’ve watched you have scenes at Fred’s house/golf club/natalies house/Sam’s parents house/Sally’s mums house/back alley/Mavis conservatory/airport/John’s house/pub liz works in/sun liners and the supermarket.
I know Covid changes filming but even before. You would think with the Costa & co op & train station they built they would use more.
AS WELL as the pub, bookies, cafe.the arcade, the cabin, the corner shop, the hairdressers, factory, normal houses,town/beach etc
and that’s only the last few episodes.

I couldnt believe how Billy left his main door unlocked so soon after a burglary! When Todd walked in to return Paul's dropped coat and said the front door was unlocked
I agree. I find her over acting very irritating.

I'm currently obsessed with the classic Corrie (and totally enjoying reliving my crush on Chris the mechanic). I'm still a bit ick over Fiona sleeping with Jim. It's a horrible thought.

Is it me or do they need to make the sets more interesting. Classic Corrie’s Kabin was much better than the current poky small Kabin which just looks like a set. Leanne’s flat also doesn’t look realistic and don’t get me started on Gemma and Chesney’s. I don’t know how they fit everyone in with all the cushions and throws they have. The Rovers is cold and un inviting. And for a builder Eddie has managed to ruin No3.

At least it’s not like Hollyoaks where every room is decorated to perfection like when did they have the time to get their places like that.
I really like Maria and Gary’s flat the interior is so gorge.As for Ed the builder it must be Aggie the wife that has decorated it like that.

I can’t see why they are all flocking around Fiona. She’s always grumpy, snarly and has a permanent frown. Nothing pleasant about her at all.

I think the gimmel is too clean, it needs an empty crisp packet, some cans to kick and some broken glass to give it some authenticity.
I'm dipping in and out of the old episodes. I'm enjoying seeing the Captain John storyline being set up and developed when we know the outcome. "Free Deirdre Rashid".

Has anyone done the Coronation Street tour in Manchester? I am such a fan that I have it twice. Amazing how the Platts living room is tiny. You walk through the dressing room with all the iconic clothes, like Carla's wedding dress to Peter; go through the door and you come out of the Bistro! You get a photo of behind the Rovers, pulling a pint of Newton & Ridley. Loved it!

You've reminded me of the time I got car insurance for me and OH thru compare the market when they were giving away the meerkat toys. They emailed me saying they were on the way like it was the meerkats sending the email. Then I totally forgot all about it. A couple of weeks later 2 boxes arrived in the porch....it was them. It was literally like they had actually transported themselves after emailing meI loved them me

Yes at the old street at Granada. The set I remember most is Sally and Kevin’s house at number 13 and there was a high chair for little baby Rosie. A huge display of Bet Gilroy’s wedding dress and I posted a card in the post box outside the shop to my Mam and it arrived with a Weatherfield stamp

I did the old one at granada studios and got to sit on Percy Sugdens knee for a photo. He complained about the flash on the camera
