Coronation Street Poor Old Kevin Webster

[sarah_louise]

He gets his breakdown truck pinched but why did Kevin Webster attend the breakdown and fill up a Diesel Engine Car with Petrol. ?

[boogieboogie]

1. The car had been converted to petrol since the hike of Diesel prices.
2. Well he is a bit thick isn't he.
3. It's a show, it's all pretend.

Like the resident who doesn't want to leave his house is a Scouser but has lived in that house (in Salford) over 30yrs. When I see those scenes I just know there are police at each of that street to protect the tv crew from the yolcals...

Ha ha, I also spotted that one!

[gina32]

what has the resident being a scouser got to do with him living in that house??

[Ethel]

Mr Stone was Minnie Caldwell's lodger in Coronation Street over 40 years ago. When he came out of prison he ending up living round the corner.

Ah Jed Stone (Sunny Jim) I remember him so well - a major Corrie character for about six years in the 60's.

Just found this:

Hey, thanks for that link, Lottie. Thanks to Ethel too.

I was trying to remember where Jed Stone fitted in. Was just about to post a Q about it on here.

:o)

[LoftyLottie]

Makes me feel very old Mrs Chappie :o( !!

[mrs.chappie]

Me too lass!!!!!

:o)

Gosh looking at that photo I thought "Gosh he reminds me of someone" and there it is Marty Hopkirk (Randle and Hopkirk deceased) he wasn't a Scouser in that was he?... My I would never have known. I loved him in that.

I do hope Jed lives. It'd be nice if he, Ken and Emily (who are probably the only one's he'll know now, had a drink in the Rovers once old bug eyes get caught (I wish)

[LoftyLottie]

Yes, Kenneth Cope is quite an accomplished actor and been in loads of films and TV

I got upset about the cat being chucked out by 'bug eyes' last night. Nice touch that the cat is named 'Sunny Jim'.

[Ethel]

Only you can see me, Jeff.

[boogieboogie]

I think he should get out his white suit and scare Tony off, how good would that be :-)
If he doesn't become invisible the white suit alone will scare the pants of him.. !!

[Postdog]

Well who knows, I mean, if he DOES die....

dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum.......

[gelda]

I'm with you Lottie, I was worried about the cat, I kept thinking what if he gets run over and who's going to feed him!! Sad I know!!

[LoftyLottie]

LOL Gelda. The cat, as we both know, is a well trained 'actor' but that is beside the point. I go to pieces in any drama where an animal is involved mostly just won't watch because I worry that something nasty is going to happen.

However, I worry not about the humans.

As the cat features in next weeks episodes where I believe we find out his name is Sunny Jim, I may even choose not to watch!!

[Ethel]

The cat is called Sunny Jim? Surely not - that is Mr Stone's name

[LoftyLottie]

Hi Ethel,

If you read the second paragraph of my earlier link at 12.44 you will see what I mean.
