Why are the writers intent on putting unreal and daft characters in this shop. What's the point. This latest one was neither funny or interesting.

i think blanche would be great in the kabin with norris. the new woman is just silly

because they have a backwards sense of humour. I think they should put Kirk in there. Him and Norris could be really funny together.

I agree, I know Kirk isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer (even he admits that) but he knows the locals, is friendly and is willing to work.  Did go from one extreme to the other Sheila didn't shut up and Joan  hardly said a word. 

I dont  know why Dierdre doesnt go for it, she has just been made redundant from the Council and knows everybody but I suspect the writers think its Oh So Hilarious for us viewers to have this stream of oddballs, oh my aching sides. 

The catatonic woman is an utterly pathetic plotline, AS IF!!!!!

how on  earth cud u work in a shop all day and not utter  a word, ive worked in shops and if u stood there serving people without uttering a word im sure someone wud say something, the customers must always have the right money to as even when shes using the till and they hand money over she dosent even say how much it is most pathetic storyline corrie have come up with yet .

It really is such a silly story line but I wouldn't be surprised if Kirk does end up working in the shop with Norris.  I think they would make a great 'couple '  Blanche is probably too 'old' for the job but how fantastic would she be dishing out her 'one liners' to all the customers. I really feel that they need some new scriptwriters on Corrie.

I definitely think Kirk would be fun in he shop, but as has been said before how a little shop like that supports or needs 3 staff is beyond me. If he needs help why doesn't Tina just work full time?

That mute woman is utterly daft - just looks silly, like they're trying to keep costs down by hiring an actress for a non-speaking part.

Yes, it's starting to look a bit desperate isn't it?  The Silent One is unrealistically non-communicative, avoiding utterances about the most trivial and inconsequential of matters.  It don't ring true, folks.  Perhaps she's taking the adage that empty vessels make the most noise a tad far.  She comes across as borderline personality disorder - relevance to any sort of plot?  Writers have lost their way methinks.

did anyone else think it was nonstop plugging of the romania dvd when norris kept saying over and over to anyone who would listen roy and hayley have gone to romania . another dvd they want us to rush out and pay £15 for last yr we had chesney kirk and fizz in south africa, i dont think its fair expecting people to buy dvds they should let everyone be able to see  them, .

Are they worth watching I wonder? I certainly wouldn't be up for paying out for them and I have to wonder how many people do.

the dvds always go cheap on e bay if anyone is interested in buying them
