Corrie's 50th - Friday 7:30PM and 8:30PM Review

So it's the beginning of the end to this tragic week and the drama from last night's live episode continues.  

Corrie's 50th - Thursday 8:00PM LIVE EPISODE Review

So, this is what we've all been waiting for. It's day 4 and it's the live episode to celebrate 50 years to the day of Coronation Street. There's been many doubts about this episode including the current bad weather the UK is suffering from, to actors fluffing their lines, to bad neighbours in the surrounding area to bomb threats! Luckily everything went according to plan. No screw ups just fantastic drama.

Corrie's 50th - Happy Birthday

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY

CORRIE.

50 years ago, at this exact moment, Coronation Street aired for the very first time and it still reigns the primetime shedule and remains the most watched soap in Britian.

There's been weddings, births, deaths, fires, serial killers, transexuals, explosions, lorry crashes, affairs (so many affairs), shootins, sieges, humor and even a tram crash. 50 years later and it's still going strong.

We want to say congratulations to everyone who has worked on the nations favourite street for making it what it is today. And to the current cast and producers and everyone working on it. Good luck for the live episode tonight!

Make sure you watch the live episode toight ITV1, 8:00PM!

Corrie's 50th - Corrie Uncovered: Live Review

I'm glad they put this kind of show on after such an event. It was definitely needed. Stephen Mulhern presented the show on ITV2 which gave viewers the chance to voice their opinions of the Tram Crash that had just took place. 


There were interviews with the cast including Anthony Cotton (Sean), Alan Hasall (Tyrone), Samia Smith (Maria), Jack P. Shepard (David) and Michelle Keegan (Tina) as well as producer and mastermind behind the crash Phil Collinson. 


It was an interesting show to watch, especially how the tram crash was created and filmed. It was nice to see what other fans of the show thought about it and what the stars of the show thought too. A nice addition to the celebration.

Corrie's 50th - Fans Asked to get Creative!

Coronation Street bosses have teamed up with ITV's This Morning to give fans the chance of creating a meal for The Rovers Return. 


The 'Cook A Dish For Corrie' competition will see fans and food enthusiasts battle to get their dish served in the famous pub along side Betty William's famous Hot Pot which seems to be the only thing they actually serve! This will change all that! 


Viewers are being invited to apply via the Corrie and This Morning websites. They must include a picture of their dish, a list of ingredients and testimonials for family and friends. Entry closes on 4th January 2011. A panel of food experts and Corrie producers will make a list of the best 10, and then a week long web vote will decide the best 3. On 24th January 2011 a live cook-off will happen on This Morning judged by TV chef Phil Vickery and some of the cast of Corrie and a winner will be decided.

Check out these new pictures of the night we won't forget. 

The residents look on in horror.

Soap Watch

Check out the trailer for Corrie's 50th as well as the schedule for the week of celebrations. I shouldn't really be calling it that since there's nothing to really celebrate. Watch out for that tram. 

A set worker was sent to hospital a few days ago after receiving an electric shock from christmas decorations. She was thrown from her ladder but is said to be recovering. We hope she's alright! Nothing much else going on in the street really. But, are we excited for the tram crash? Make sure YOU watch and make sure you tell everybody you know to watch too! This really isn't to be missed! 

Thomas Law who has played Peter Beale since 2006 is rumored to be leaving the show. He recently filmed scenes which showed him leaving the square but apparently it's open for him to return. Thomas will be making his stage debut in a production of Peter Pan in Salford.

In other news it's been reported that the actors taking part in the cot death/child kidnap plot have broken down in tears while filming the traumatic scenes. Filming stopped for an hour as the cast and crew found it hard to film without getting emotional. Wow, it must really be heartbreaking. The scenes will be shown around New Year.

The Wylde's are coming to an end soon enough. Check out this interview with Lyndon Ogbourne who plays Nathan Wylde about his final story line in the soap.

By know we should all know Warren Fox ISN'T dead. He's very much alive and we still don't know how! This will all change when Hollyoaks airs a special stand-alone episode featuring flashbacks to the fire at the club. Jamie Lomas who plays Warren Fox took to his twitter and said viewers will find out how he got out, what happened afterwards and exactly who's badly burnt body it was they found? All very intriguing. I'm excited to see how he's alive. 

Well, that was emotional. Ringo Brown is dead. Steph ran him over on her scooter, she's distraught and just been arrested. Donna is crushed. Sad days in Aussie. I feel, I have to say this. Neighbours have been doing extremely well over the last few weeks, even months. Less and less silly storyline and more serious stuff that actually interests viewers and makes them care and not switch off. Take not Susan Bower. I've also discovered, Neighbours does incredibly well on YouTube, with each episode receiving over 10,000 views! It's not dead yet.
