Cindy Beale and Les battersby?

[dotty.]

They;re having us on surely?

[dotty.]

though I can see them scriptwriters trying to get Peter Barlow in bed with his mother-in-law

[mike11111]

Explain, please.

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't the actor who plays Battersby threw out for drinking too much?

[chrissa1]

Blimey!!!!!

[mike11111]

More like mouthing off too much about the other cast.

[dotty.]

the new pub manager (cindy) is leanne's mum.

[sandyRoe]

Be sure you sins will find you out. :-(

[ladybird49]

corrie is getting stupid now with the storylines

[emmie]

he was sacked wasn't he for liking the drink a bit too much

[emmie]

does Leanne know, this soap gets more daft by the minute

[craft1948]

They are not the same age..............Michelle Collins was born in 1961 and Jane Danson in 1978 so the mother/daughter scenario is reasonable.

[mrs_overall]

I haven't watched Corrie since the days of Ena Sharples...and that was only cos my mum used to have it on.
It looks like I havent missed much

* pre-work *

Gone a bit downhill since the demise of Blanche. Mary & Norris still provide entertainment though. The thing that irks me about Michelle Collins' character is her awful awful northern accent. It's a joke. Haven't heard one worse since Alex Kingston in that spooky ghost drama at the beginning of the year.

Cindy is Leanne's mother? I thought Leanne and her sister already had a mother - or was Janice a second wife?

[Dee Sa]

my eldest son had a landscape gardening business and Cindy Beale was one of his clients, he said you could not meet a nicer person and if she wasnt working and at home when he was working she always insisted they came in for cup of tea.

[netibiza]

When did this get shown? (I am always a day behind but cannot find it on the schedule)

[KUSTARD]

Re Sallabanana's answer. I really liked John Michie in Taggart but he is AWFUL in this part and his accent is worse than Michelle Collins'. I think Corrie goes more downhill every episode

[chelle7272]

boxtops - yes Janice and Les had a daughter each -Janice is the mother of the other daughter whose name escapes me and Les is Leanne's dad.

dotty - agree it's unlikely scenario!

[netibiza]

I can't wait for East Street when Ian Beale sees Cindy in the Rovers, bring it on!!!
