After Peter Barlow got beaten up by Charlie, Blanche says:
"At least you didn't get stabbed in the shower like in that Psychic..."
To which Deirdre says: "Psycho!"

This one was on that 'Corrie Funnies' show (or whatever it was called) over Xmas:
'You'd better learn to enjoy other people's misfortunes Ken - otherwise you're going to have a very miserable old age!'

Audrey (after seeing the Battersby-Browns all climb from one car): Are they going for some kind of record?
Norris: Most morons in one car I imagine.
Blanche: You should jump in with them - immortalise yourself!

have you noticed how physically alike Deirdre and BLanche are? It's uncanny!
Post by: smurfboy on January 13, 2007, 07:41:11 pm
I know, especially when you think they didn't look that alike when they were originally cast.
Anne Kirkbride has just signed a new contract worth about 270K apparently.

Phew - I'm in the wrong job!
I love it when Blanche tells people not to walk so fast because "I've got a Polish hip you know!".

One of my favourite Corrie quotes comes from when Audrey caught Rita, Emily, Blanche and Betty gossiping about her in the Rovers:
'Look at you sittting there holding court, like a superannuated Sex and the City!'

I'd forgotton abount Tracy's kidney transplant.
How you noticed how dumb Corrie's tiny tots are? Bethany and Amy hardly breathe a word - certainly not like any three and six years olds I know!

Blanche is possibly the only thing worth watching Corrie for. Post by: oldspice on January 16, 2007, 07:03:39 am
Oh no! The whole programme is the highlight of my viewing week! It's got everything - humour, pathos, suspense and it's touchingly tender too - look at the relationship between Fizz and her little brother. It melts my heart.
Also, it's not just Blanche that gets the funny lines. What about Eileen?
When one of the girls was responding to Jason's predicament with his baby, Eileen responded "OK, I didn't ask for a feminist critique!"
I really like Eileen. I want her to be my mate. And I just KNOW that I wouldn't get on with Gail and would probably find Sally really irritating too.

Eileen would be a great mate. She'd always tell you it like it is, and she'd always be there for you if you needed her.
Another of my favourite Corrie quotes - this time from Bev. I love it because it's so bizarre and I just can't work out what it means: 'They say there are two things you never see - a poor bookie, and a dead donkey!'

Blanche: Considering Tracy's such a cow, she means.
Peter: Afraid so.
Blanche: But she’s our cow Peter!

I laughed at that one too!
Here are my favourite Corrie characters:
Eileen, Sean, Emily, Blanche, Ken, Cilla (cos she's so panto wicked!),
Fizz, Chesney, Vera & Jack, Norris and many more
The ones I'd like to nuke are:
David Platt (who does his hair????), Adam (son of Mike - who does his hair???), Kevin (Zzzzzzzzz), Gail (who does her hair?????), that thing Liz is currently shacked up with - Vernon? (who does his hair and eye make-up????) and finally Ashley (alias Orville).

You won't be booking an appointment at Audrey's then?
