The Pooka 26 Posted February 17, 2006 I suppose that if the script calls for an old bag, then an old bag is what the producer wants. And I'm sure he'll find one without having to shag her. That reminds me - what happened to Rita 'world wide' Webb and Patricia Hayes? I'm off to Google Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted February 17, 2006 Even as we speak some producer is planning to unite Peggy Mount, Patricia Hayes et al in an 'hilarious' comedy sketch in which they act out the top moves from Spice Girls videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pooka 26 Posted February 22, 2006 Such a shame. Very few 'old bags' left now. Presumably feminism has put paid to roles for 'daft old bats'. Big Mo is a bit of a caution in East Enders, though ....... and, while we're on old ladies generally, am I the only one who wants to give Emily Bishop a slap? Not wishing the DL on the actress, but surely its time to send the character the same way as Percy Sugden and her late Ernest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pooka 26 Posted February 23, 2006 Yes. I feel like I'm going through the motions but there looks to be no chance of resuscitation. Without a new line on Dickie's plight we may be very near the end......... well he had a good innings, bless him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wishing the DL on the actress, but surely its time to send the character the same way as Percy Sugden and her late Ernest. I couldn't agree more. The sanctimonious old biddy should show some compassion towards Ed. And she calls herself a Christian!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted February 23, 2006 Back off. Emily Bishop has every right to hold a grudge - afterall Ed killed her husband. Christian? What's that got to do with anything? They are all a bunch of unforgiving souls who only look to the Church to 'better themselves' and to hold some pecieved power and influence in their community.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted February 23, 2006 But aren't Christians supposed to "forgive those who trespass against us"? Yes. They're also supposed to turn the other cheek.

PS Windsor, I'm surprised you're a Corrie fan I have nothing against real Christians - only those who cling to organised religion for social status. This group probably makes up the majority. I watch the odd episode of Corrie. What's the bets on Emily and Rita becoming the streets first gay married couple. The've already moved in together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millwall32 114 Posted February 26, 2006 Well I only wanted to slap Emily because she's a bitter old cow. Her Christianity wasn't an issue. There's something about her that seems to attract murderers. Her character has also become superfluous to the Corrie plot. Hence the need to use her as a plate upon which to serve a dish of psychopaths. Indeed MPFC. the odd mention of the light comedy actor Richard O'sullivan in this thread comes as most welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted February 26, 2006 No problem, but it isn't always a good idea. I posted on the Mary Travers thread - that had started to veer off into the twilight zone - asking about her health. The thread took a nosedive down the list within days.
