I wonder if Mary and Roy will get together? It'd have to be so sensitively managed though, as Hayley and Roy's relationship has been such a classic corrie joy. Real corrie comedy and pathos. The way they supported outsiders/people in difficulty, like Becky and Fizz, just fabulous. I love Corrie at it's pantomime best, but I can get into the dramatic story lines with very little difficulty. as well. I agree, Dev has always been wooden. His best scene in this storyline was (for me) when he pushed open the door of the registry office, and stood like an avenger, looking threatening. It all ended when he had to speak of course.
I remember with affection Minnie Caldwell, Martha Longhurst and Ena Shaprles, sitting in the snug,with half a mile in their mits. Ena's one liners, fabulous. In my family, we still use 'well think on' and 'I'll go to the foot of our stairs' 'common as muck' and 'no better than she ought to be'
I confess Im also enjoying the merekats sponsorship of Corrie, especially the northern accents they're developing. I'm off to put't'kettle on
