Ok, I am getting ready to watch my first episode of Corrie. Be prepared for questions down the line....

Once you get to understand the people, the links to other people on the show and people of the past, I think you'll be hooked. lol! I had got my dad into Corrie and at one point he had said he was liking Corrie better than Eastenders...lol!

Yep, I have to do some research to find out who people are and who they are related to, but other than that I like it just fine..

I'm sure you'll enjoy it Spurs - things are pretty quiet just now, but there's gonna be a big story line soon with evil Tony in a life and death tussle with trainspotter Roy Cropper!

Sounds awesome! Corrie's schedule is different from EE isn't it? Is it on everyday? Oh yeah, and...who's Tony?

Tony gordon is the evil fatory-owner who had Liam killed because Liam was having an affair with his wife, but who is now getting his hooks into Maria (Liam's widow).

It will all become clear in a year or two.

Yep, Face, clear as mud! I am sure I will catch on... It's funny, but I don't think I have watched enough to even have questions yet. They have a website right, like EE?

My favourite character is probably Blanche, the old battleaxe. Whenever she's in a scene you can be guaranteed that she'll have a really sharp line about something or other.

Blanche as well as Graeme. He's come out with some funny ones as well.

I love the theme music. I recognized Lister (I guess his name is Lloyd something on the show...) and the guy who plays Jesse looks very familiar, but the actors name didn't, so I guess it was from another life! Ha ha...anyway I am enjoying it. Great...one more thing to be hooked on! I think I like EE better, but that is probably because I saw it first...

Jesse is played by John Thomson who was in the Fast Show in the 90s.

I have not heard of that show, but his face just looks familiar...maybe I am just losing my mind!!

Nah, I doubt it - haha

Maybe you watched Cold Feet? He was in that too
