Ashes to ashes .... and more ashes!

Lorks! Poor old Fred and his ashes have been divied up - some for Bev and some for Ashley- what could be fairer?. What happened was Blanche told Bev that there was real pain and emotion over at the butcher shop (she saw Ashley crying) and that Bev wasn't the only one who was suffering and "putting on a twice daily performance". So Bev puts half the ashes into an instant gravy jar, stating "I know he couldn't abide instant gravy, but it was all I had". Oh, how I laughed. And also, when she said "Well I suppose there's a lot of him to share around" True enough Bev.

Also on the street last night .... David Platt discovers (by reading their mail) that Maria and Charlie are carrying on. Will Tracy find out? . . . . let's hope not - she's got a real temper when riled!

We saw more of Rita scaring poor Norris about the Hungary trip, in particular the possibility of nude bathing!

And we saw silly Sally hiding a letter from Craig that was meant for Rosie . . . but gives it to her in the end.

Oh, and more scenes with an unhappy looking Frankie with happy Danny while poor Jamie looks longingly at his step-mum.

All in all, a great episode.

Yours doggedly,

Schmeichel's Aunty

Frankie & Jamie

I just don't know. On the one hand they suit each other. I mean, they really do. They'd be a great couple.
If it wasn't for the small fact that she's his
STEPMUM.

P.S. Check out the new poll!

Poor lovesick Jamie

Aw, poor Jamie with those big puppy-dog eyes howling out to Frankie up in Danny's apartment. I do feel for him but honestly, where will it all end? Reading a few other Coro sites and came across a some choice comments from viewers:

"it's even worse than the martin-katy storyline. what is wrong with the corrie writers?"

"I'll make sure I go out the night this barrel-scraping storyline screens, and I won't be taping it either. Own goal, Corrie writers."

"OMG yay so happy i know what you mean wierdly they go so well together !!! HAve been waiting ages for this"

These were from http://shinymedia.headshift.com/cgi-bin/mtshiny/mt-tb.fcgi/26167

So as you can see not everyone likes the storyline, but those who do love it. I like it - it adds a bit of forbidden spice .... it's not incest after all. What do you think Corobloggers?

Schmeichel's Aunty

Public Apology

I missed Coro last night!!!

I've been crying about it like Big Brandy Bev.

neugeblogger

Oooh la la

Oh dear, Sally Webster's turning into the new Gail Platt. Her distressed mother scene at the train station was so over the top that I actually had to push the mute button! I know Rosie was running away and all, but it was only to Berlin!! Last I heard, the wall had come down and they even had them thar telephone contraptions. They may even that internet thing.

And as for drunken Bev. Let's face it, she's not really crying for Fat Fred (as one of our non-Coro watching readers called him), she's crying for herself. Being stood up at the altar, retirement plan in ruins, no longer the centre of attention, etc. And as for the appalling acting going on...I just about choked on my vodka and tonic when Liz and Sean had to take an over-acting Bev out the back. It reminded me of my Life and Times of St Cuthbert play, standard four, circa 1987 (I was meant to be the Archbishop of Canterbury but you miss one practice due to sickness and my, how quickly they forget you - I got demoted to a pict. I bet you don't even know what a pict is. Let me just say that the pict next to me was wearing a brown paper rubbish sack as her costume and it looked authentic.)

And don't even get me started on that evil Charlie Stubbs. Can't wait for Tracey to wipe the smile off his face.

P.S. Loved it when Sally pushed Sophie aside (onto a railway track?...) to get to her beloved Rosie. Classic Coro.

Poor Fred's dead, dead aye say, dead.

I'm not ashamed to admit I cried. "Be happy, aye say, be happy", but how could you when you knew what was coming next? Fred Elliott, purveyor of fine meats, dead as a doe-doe on Audrey's front step. Actually, was he dead as a doe-doe? Surely Audrey could have tried a little CPR?

Now what I don't understand, aye say, what I don't understand, is why everyone is so quick to think the worst of poor dead Fred! Audrey, well perhaps she is a tease, like Ashley said, but not Fred. Fred had a good heart and there's no way, aye say, no way he'd cheat on anyone. Generous to a fault he was, generous to a fault.

Here's hoping the Street calms down and gets a touch of the guilts for their poor treatment of Fred and Audrey. Honestly, where's the respect people, where's the respect??

So much news!!

Not only is tonight Fred's big night...but big news has just hit Coro land! Liz Dawn, who plays Vera Duckworth, will be leaving the show in early 2008 (UK time)!! Liz has emphysema in real life and only has 1/4 of her lungs still working (the poor woman).

Liz's departure also means Vera's (permanent) departure. She's been a Coro character for 33 years so she'll be sorely missed! The Coro writers are keeping mum about how Vera dies and have even written three possible endings. You can read more at the BBC's website. Sad times, viewers, sad times.

Get Fred to the church on time !!!

OMG .... it was edge-of-the-seat stuff last night on Coro. What with Fred doing his will-he, won't-he routine and then taking off in Dev's car to see Audrey at the last minute. Ashleys plea of "Audrey's no good for yer - she's a tease!" - fell on deaf ears. I cracked up when Fred, explaining how it felt to be torn between two women, announced "I feel like I've been filleted!" Who wrote that script - they should be filleted!
Actually, I feel like a nice piece of fillet steak for tea. With Fred away from the shop perhaps I could sneak round and see if Boris will give me some.
TTFN fellow Coro watchers ... tune in next week to see IF Fred makes to th'alter to wed the lovely Bev.

RSS feeds

Okay, okay, RSS feeds are the way to go but I'm having some trouble getting one up and running for Kia Ora Coro. I've created a link to something (scroll down on the right hand side and you'll see it) but just hold off on using it until I give you the all clear. I still have some major tweaking to do!

Am off to Hokitika tomorrow so I'll ask Schmeichel's Aunty to post about Thursday's Coro. Should be a heart stopper.

Tension

Finally, the hand massage we'd all been waiting for. It was so tense and steamy that I was surprised last night's Coro didn't get a PG13 warning. Poor Fred, he really is stuck between a rock and a hard place having to choose between uber-hyper Bev and cow-hide Audrey (go on, take a closer look at that leather-like neck next time). Who knows, perhaps fate will step in and he won't have to choose...

And as for David "I'm a school refuser" Platt! It's about time Gail stopped pampering him with tvs, pocket money (for goodness sakes), playstations, etc. She should really get him off to the psychiatrist too, but I won't hold my breath on that front.

Make sure you're watching on Thursday - it'll be a dead good night! Ha ha ha.

You decide

There's so much happening on Coro at the moment that the paramedics are willing to revive the blog, but it's up to you!

Take the poll or leave us a comment!

Dead as a dormouse!

Yes folks, that's right. This blog has ceased to be (through lack of interest) and is now officially dead as a dormouse. We tried .....my how we tried, but some good news is that neugeblogger will be transferring herself and a version of the blog to facebook. Hope to see some of you on facebook but if not keep up the Coro-watching anyway.

Bye!

Liam or Paul - who do you fancy?

I was prompted to ask this question by Tvor, our Canadian friend. Being a dog I don't really fancy any of them, however they are an attractive family - Michelle, Liam and Paul. Are there any others? They look set to give the street a big shake-up and some much needed new life. Will Michelle get together with Stevie Mac? Will Liam and Frankie get together? And what about Paul - is he married? And has Adam been ripped off by the brothers? Most importantly what the heck is Danny going to say when he returns to find a new business partner?

How mental is Claire ???

My goodness! Did you see that slap she landed on poor Haley? She's completely gone mental. Fancy accusing Hayley of hurting the baby. She's not a fit mother in my opinion - forgetting to collect Josh, playing pokie machines in a caff. Has she got post-natal depression? Poor Ashley needs to get her some help.

On a brighter note it's nice to see Frankie has a new love interest.

And now for something completely different ....

... dressed up cats! You know you cannot resist such cuteness. My favourite is "Anne of Green Gables" who looks ready to gouge out her owners eyes!

Aint she sweet?

We have neugeblogger to thank for this insanity. Check out other cats (as well as some rather creative English) at:

Hello ... is anyone there?

It's so lonesome on the blog lately. Not even the boss (neugeblogger) is posting. I fear the end is nigh .... oh woe is me .... etc, etc. However on a more positive note Coro should be good tonight. Will Tracy fiddle about with Charlie's CCTV to reveal his many visit's to Maria's flat? How will poor Kirky be coping as a single man? Will Michelle tell Liz about Vernon's sleazy ways? I can hardly wait.

Is there no end to Charlie's manipulative ways?

I don't know how much more of Charlie Stubbs I can take. Did you see him calmly trashing Maria's flat then comforting her later? I think his downfall is going to be that CCTV though. Just wait until Tracy sees some of the footage ..... all hell will break loose.

I did feel sorry for poor Kirky when he was dumped by Fizz. He had tried to make life more exciting with a weekend away ... but when you add Monica, Tyrone and Molly into the mix ... well it was all too much for Fizz.

And what about Vernon and his spotty undies!! Michelle set him up good and proper. What a laugh. He so had that coming. Why oh why can't Liz see what a pillock he is?

Well that's all from me just now. I have a big juicy bone to gnaw this arvo so must away and deal to it. TTFN.

Charlie Stubbs takes another evil turn on Coro tonight

That's right. Dare to turn on your telly at 7.30pm and see what he does to Maria's flat. What a psycho! No doubt she will fall sobbing into his arms on discovering she's been "burgled". Meanwhile, I found another random blog/forum thingy whre the current poll is "Who is more evil: Charlie Stubbs or Tracy Barlow?"

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://members.shaw.ca/lolaland/charliepissed.jpeg&imgrefurl=http://www.dogsonacid.com/showthread.php%3Fcache%3D18%26threadid%3D428207&h=195&w=292&sz=19&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=8GuZU2n8n6ycaM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcharlie%2Bstubbs%2Bmaria%2Btracy%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den

Well that's all from me. Must rush out and buy some flea-powder before tonight's episode.

Don't eat the mousse

Once again, Death is waiting in the wings.

Babex

"What's Babex ?" cried Gail as Jason's lovingly written sheet fluttered in the breeze on last night's Coro. The sign actually said 'I still luv you. Sorry Babe x'. Sarah looked all doe-eyed out the window at it, then returned to watching telly. I bet she will have him back!

And what about Clare? Has she lost the plot - she was nowhere near the taxi when that woman was looking in!

Loved the bit where Craig was telling David about Roy and Hayley's TV viewing habits ..."They switch it on to see something they want to watch, then they turn it off straight after - it's really weird!" Kids today - I don't know.

We saw more of slimey Charlie lastnight too ... but I fear his days are numbered.

thirsty

Liz McDonald just heard Schmeichel's aunty was thirsty and has sent her through a genuine Rovers pint!

Am I too late for the party? ...

... just had to nip out and get my hair done. Good to see Mr T. has come but do we really need that Hilton lass? She's a bit trashy for the likes of us. Now where is my party hat and a nice bowl of water - I'm parched!

Happy returns from Wilmslow!

You may not believe it, but Wilmslow's recently elected mayor, Barry Burkhill, has just emailed! He says:

"Congratulations from the people of Wilmslow on your 5 month anniversary. You have certainly helped put Wilmslow on the map. Before Kia Ora Coro, Wilmslow was filled with footballers wives and Corrie St stars, but they all left for Los Angeles after a flood of New Zealand blog-readers flocked to our pretty city. Kia Ora.

More sincerely than usual,

Barry Burkhill"

Aww, I'm sure we all have many fond memories of our Wilmslow week. Thanks Barry!

neugeblogger

Mr T has emailed the following through to us:

"Kia ora to Kia Ora Coro and all its readers for toughing it out to the five month mark. I read this blog regularly even though I have not had the pleasure to view the glory that is Coronation Street.

I hope we all enjoy today's party and I for one am looking in great anticpation towards the next party on September 25. I shall be there with chains on (ha ha).

Keep off the drugs, kids.

Mr. T

P.S. I pity the fool that doesn't post a comment to this blog"


Well, kia ora to you Mr T, for being such a devoted fan!

celebrity message #2

And this charmer's just come in from Les Battersby...

party message #1

Well we've had our first celebrity message come in!
Lloyd (one of Coro's taxi drivers for those of you not in the loop) has emailed to say "Happy 5 month birthday!" and has sent through a photo of himself from his Red Dwarf days...

P A R T Y !

5 months!

Pop back later in the day to hear from special guests like Paris and Mr T!

Coro last night

I'm suprised Charlie earns any money given that he spends his whole working day romping about with his women!

4 things

Firstly, don’t forget to watch Coro tonight. There’s bound to be more of Sarah Platt lolling on the couch getting fat on biscuits with Gail and Audrey fussing over her (and who gets neglected once again? Poor old David.)

Secondly, don’t forget the party tomorrow. I’ve heard a rumour that Paris Hilton is coming. Not sure if she’s wearing a poncho.

Thirdly, if you don’t mind the mild spoilers, check out Tvor’s blog post for today. It’s particularly satisfying.

Fourthly, mum now has an official beading photo gallery in case you’re interested in purchasing some quality beads!

See you all tomorrow!

PARTY!!!

Kia Ora Coro is turning 5 months on August 25 and Schmeichel’s aunty and I are planning a PARTY!

To make things a little more interactive we’re asking YOU to provide the decorations, so please email me with images of party-related things that you'd like put up on the blog for Friday
(eg party hats, cakes, guests, presents, etc).

Then pop back on Friday to join the fun and frivolity!

Jilted!

OMG! Poor Sarah - left in the lurch at the last minute. You know, I think the nuptials would have taken place if Gail and Eileen hadn't come in. It was a timing thing really as it gave Jason a moment to think about it. What about sleazy Charlie! I'm afraid I nearly threw up watching that final scene with him and Maria on the sofa. And as for the wet tee-shirt ......please this is a family show!

Introducing Schmeichel's aunty - she's a Coro bitch!

Woof, woof everyone! Well now, what's this I hear about the possible demise of Kia Ora Coro! We can't allow that! My nephew Schmeichel tells me tonight is going to be a big night on the street with Jason and Sarah's wedding. What happens I wonder - will Jason say I do? I will be popping in occasionally just to give you all a rark-up. I actually live on Rosamund street so am nearly a local - I do get the odd bone from Ashley's shop.

Last breaths

The blog is dying...will it make to its 5 month anniversary?

Cats and dogs

Remember pet week? Well, Dierdre's discovered a website where you can create a webpage for your cat or dog and then they can take part in an online animal community!!! (By "they" I really mean "you". Unless your cat can read.)

For dogs, check out dogster.com.

And for cats, check out catster.com.

On both sites you can search by breed by clicking on the "Or see all breeds now" link (it's about half way down the homepage).

And make sure you check out Mercy the cat. There are pictures of him wearing a poncho and a beaded collar!!! I kid you not! (Unfortunately I can't get the photos into the blog, though).
