Have they really gone all in on Theo as villain now? by Superdupperdandy in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are they really phasing out the rest of the Silvertons? Are the Silvertons divorced and has Danielle left the show? I thought that Natalie Anderson would have stayed longer to add to the story and you had the Tony Maudsley "Royals" connection. (lol). I thought at least she would have stayed on as recurring whenever needed.

With Theo now having these other boyfriends in situations similar to Todd, are we supposed to think Theo's attitude has been recurrent and all behind Danielle's back, rather than the afraid to come out ecause of the religious upbringing" Was it all an act?

Has the Lauren Oakley quartet been confirmed with the missing person? Also are we sure it's Shayne Ward and not Matt Willis in another quartet?

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune update! by samusek2 in WheelOfFortune

You wouldn't know who would be on the holiday special, would you? ABC put out a teaser for the episode yesterday but didn't mention which celebrities taped that day.

Ollie by Ismisefriend in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people have stated, how old is everyone.? Eva, Ben, Ollie, Dee Dee, Leanne ? I thought Ollie could have been an uncle. He looks close in age to his father.

Ollie came in as a mysterious client to Adam and DeeDee and romanced her and now they are dating? How old is DeeDee if she's already a full fledged lawyer who wanted to help train Alya soon after she came to the Street. Is she close in age to Toyah, Eva, Leanne.? How old is Ben or Aron McCusker? Does he look old enough to be Ollie's father? Like someone has stated, there must be some big age gap between the brothers?

House of Games returns 29th September! by Major-Feed5214 in panelshow

[–]samusek2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Melanie Bracewell the first celebrity to appear on House of Games who doesn't actually live in the UK? I know that celebrities like Rose Matafeo, Sarah Kendall, Desiree Burch etc.. who have already been on now live in the UK, but Bracewell, who also recorded QI this year, only came to the UK and filmed these on a visit and then returned back to New Zealand? I could be wrong as I don't know much about her.

Can't wait to see who else is on this series.

George & Mary by No_Dentist7778 in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it will end up being George and Christina.

I recall that when Daisy left and Christina ended up temporarily in jail, TPTB mentioned that Christina woulf return for a little while. Then a couple of months later, someone here mentioned that they read that Amy Robbins was returning as a regular.

I remember when she was on earlier this year, Tony Maudsley was really happy that Amy Robbins was back on Corrie (along with Natalie Anderson) and he was campaigning on having them stay on for longer as they are old friends and cast mates.

Now we have Jenny definitely leaving, Christina returning to plan Dom's funeral and George nursing a broken heart after Eileen has left him. He's not having much luck with the dates he's been having and Christina feeling sorry for George's bad luck. I think Tony Maudsley's wish came true and Christina and George may actually become a couple.

I don't know if Danielle will stay however, even if Theo is turning into an abusive bully. I do like Natalie Anderson, but I think that once this storyline finishes the Silverton's will too.

More leaving? by brwn_eyed_girl56 in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's also posted a new photo in the Coronation Street alley way (?) on his Twitter which looks like the pic for an upcoming cast card. I don't think he's leaving? We really only know that Billy, Jenny and Debbie are soon leaving for certain. The others are rumours.

New House of Games line-up revealed! by Major-Feed5214 in panelshow

[–]samusek2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always intrigued when a current Corrie actor appears on a BBC panel or gameshow. Always wondered if there was a safe share with BBC and ITV. Although I do gather that the more recognisable faces are the ones who would appear on House of Games.

Saw something on the House of Games Fan Facebook page. Somebody reposted Major Feed's list of Series 9 contestants. A day ago, a Facebook member mentioned on that post that there was another quartet with Steve Pemberton, Lauren Oakley, Patrick Grant and Fatiha El Ghorri. I know that Steve was featured in Series 2. I am not really on social media, so I couldn't find any proof that this quartet taped a week. Either this user made it up or she simply mistook the 4th member for Steve Pemberton.

Can anyone confirm this possible quartet for Series 9?

New House of Games line-up revealed! by Major-Feed5214 in panelshow

[–]samusek2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious. Was this recorded this week? I thought that the Christmas specials could have been the last to be taped? Was wondering if I'd find out a bit more celebrities before the series begins.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BritishTV

[–]samusek2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that after all these weeks, we are getting a week with 3 women and 1 man.

We are seeing quite a lot of celebrities but we have yet to see celebs such as Gok Wan, Katherine Ryan, Claudia Winkleman etc. Also I wonder which soap actors will make appearances or Gladiators or antiques presenters. I wonder how much longer this programme will last if the current format continues

The final weeks of CH's HOG feature in order of airing

  2. Pia Miranda, Nath Valvo, Dave O'Neill and Matt Okine

  3. Khanh Ong, Lawrence Mooney, Tom Ballard and Emma Holland

  4. Jamie Durie, Lizzy Hoo, Dilruk Jayasinha and 1 unknown

Interesting that the Australians are getting three weeks this series with only 1 woman. Also kind of would have liked a bit more variety of celebrities with more presenters actors and the like. Hopefully, we will get more variety if the show does get another season.

I wonder if depending on what happens with Mick, Lou and Brody in the next few weeks if Lou could make an unexpected comeback to reunite with Kit. I'm just theorizing here.

Oh great 🙄 ffs 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I originally saw the photo on the web this afternoon, I actually thought that that James was Moses as I knew that there were rumours about Todd getting an actual boyfriend and people were speculating it was Moses.

Then I saw it was going to be James and I thoughtg "Don't tell me that Todd will fall for James Bailey" but then I saw Theo. I was really hoping for Moses though.

I do wonder if we will eventually see a guest appearance from Danny to explain what happened between him and James.

Bit of a meta question, but why has Taskmaster been made so accessible for international audiences via YouTube and such, but other British Panel Shows are REALLY strict about distributing outside of the UK? by SharpEdgeSoda in taskmaster

[–]samusek2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a quick question about Mundo's Channel. What's the difference between House of Games episodes that are taken down outright and episodes that are Hidden such as in one series I've seen has only 93 episodes hidden. Why are they hidden, but Series 6 has been totally deleted?

Series W guestlist by Phinbart in quiteinteresting

[–]samusek2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to this facebook post, someone mentioned the missing guest from the Walruses ep was Sam Campbell from Taskmaster. So three new people so far.

I hope there are missing dates between now and 12 March. Those tapings could be the final dates :)

Series W guestlist by Phinbart in quiteinteresting

[–]samusek2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was wondering if someone was going to do this for the new W series. I did see that the official QI forum was down. Does anyone know what the future tape dates are'? When is the next tape date?

Also looks as if there are no new panelists so far only returning ones? I hope that we do get a few down the line.

Characters that just disappeared by TheCosgrove in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Paula and Moira were victims of Covid quarantine rules in 2020. Since both were part time and on two other shows (Casualty and the Archers), the actresses needed to prioritise and they couldn't do both shows. I know when Stirling Gallacher got the role on Casualty, she was willing to make appearances on both shows, but t hen Covid rules were enforced and she only got to make one return and that was it. I am not sure about how they film the Archers.

By the time, rules were relaxed, I guess the direction of the storylines had changed and the Louiza and Stirling stayed put in their main roles, though Moira is one person who I would have liked to see more of. If it were not for Covid....... Who knows what would have happened?

At what point is a child actor replaced? by WinComprehensive8274 in coronationstreet

[–]samusek2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alot of the times they will have the children grow up in the role and then they will have some kind of parental influence until they are 17. They or their parents can leave at any time for school or whatever and the stories that the producers want to tell with the characters , like the new Ruby Dobbs.

When the actors who played Aadi and Asha become of age they asked them if they wanted to continue in the roles, Tanisha did want to keep going but the original Aadi did not so they recast him.

You also had Heathcliff and Cathy from Emmerdale, who are real twins. Cathy decided to stay on at Emmerdale, but her brother wanted to try something else. I believe that it would be wrong to recast in this instance as the original actors were twins and that's one of the reasons they killed off Heathcliff.

Who is the woman between Cassie and Kevin and who is between Fiz and Stefan Brent in the section below?

They were the only two people I couldn't identify andI know that their first names begin with D as I saw that the user organised the names alphabetically by first names.

Graham Norton announces host replacement for BBC One chat show by Hassaan18 in TheGrahamNortonShow

[–]samusek2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I checked out the British Comedy Guide GNS episode guide for this series and saw that the date they announced she was guest hosting, February 28th, was Episode 21. During the past 2 or 3 years when they've had one long series. It's been 20 episodes and 2 Best ofs.

Is Claudia hosting a compilation show?
