Coronation Street

[Tyrion44]

I must have missed something - who is the guy that Gary owes money to?

[DarceyK123]

He's a loan shark, he was responsible for Joe (Gails ex) faking his own death.

[Caran]

I meant to ask this too. I have no recollection of this. Was this a long time ago, if so why has it surfaced now?

[hc4361]

Joe McIntyre died in 2010. The loan shark is back because Gary’s borrowed off him after Carla didn’t him the money for the building work

[KUSTARD]

I too must have slept through that bit. No recollection whatsoever!!!

[10ClarionSt]

I never watch any soaps but last night I walked in and Mrs Clarion was watching this. I watched the remainder of the programme and thought it was unintentionally funny. A joke, really. It should be called Confrontation Street. Every scene opened with someone being aggressive to someone else. Tony Warren must be turning in his grave, as I'm sure he never visualised his idea becoming a northern "Eastenders".

[hc4361]

There has always been confrontation in Corrie, Elsie Tanner and Ena Sharples were not shrinking violets

[10ClarionSt]

No there hasn't, Hc. There was always the POSSIBILITY of confrontation, as I remember it. But last night every scene opened with someone challenging someone else. It's gonna be a l----o----n----g time before I watch it again. If ever.

[hc4361]

Elsie Tanner has been shown in a fight with hair pulling and grappling.

[derek-33]

Sally and Eileen (fight)

[hc4361]

That was a corker, Derek.
In real life the only time I have seen women fight is outside pubs and nightclubs - I've never seen neighbours grappling in the street when both have been sober.

I came here to see if anybody else was wondering who that person was! It seems I'm not the only one in the dark. I agree too, about Corrie getting far nastier these days. Sometimes I'm appalled at the violence shown on what is way before the so called watershed. I'm enjoying recording and watching Classic Corrie on ITV3 ..... 2 episodes daily..... the days of Jack and Vera..... marvellous.

Here's a refresher from 2010 - remember when Gail was married to Joe McIntyre?
