Welcome to A Slice of Soap.
Hey soapsters here’s a bit of good news for you, Bradley Walsh is set to make a return to The Street as Danny Baldwin. Read the following:
CORRIE star Bradley Walsh has revealed he will return to the soap next summer.
Bradders – currently in panto in Milton Keynes – said: “I will be going back . . . but it probably won’t be until the end of next summer as the storylines are written so far in advance.” He left the ITV show last year after his character Danny Baldwin became a missing person.
The return of Bradley Walsh to The Street is excellent news. He’s definitely one of Corrie’s stronger characters and with so many key characters leaving the show i.e. Vera Duckworth and Sarah Platt, his decision to return to The Street couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s only a shame that we have to wait until the end of next summer cos it seems to me that Corrie are scraping the barrel with some of their storylines…yes I refer to the current Michelle Connor baby swap saga.
But I wonder what Danny Baldwin’s been up to cos it’s been over a year since anyone’s seen or heard from him. Perhaps he’s gone and done what people down on their luck (especially on the romance side) used to do in days gone by, you know, join the Foreign Legion – cos we all know that there’s things that have happened in his life that he’d rather forget. Or maybe he’s gone and done one better and is sleeping rough on the streets of Walford. Yeah…we all know that Albert Square is the problem capital of the world, especially in the run up to Christmas. Old Danny Baldwin’s probably sitting on a bench in The Square with a rum bottle in one hand and a cigar in the other thinking – ain’t my life just wonderful!
But hey I think my imagination’s running away with me (but probably not as much as the Corrie Scriptwriters at present). It’s just good to know that Bradders will be returning to the cobbles.
Gus Watch.
Talking about missing persons, it’s my pleasure to announce that Gus will be making an appearance on EastEnders. In his biggest storyline since his attempt at being Walford’s first road sweeping poet, this week our hero Gus finds himself in problems with Sean ‘Shout’ Slater who’s down on his luck and looking for a place to stay. Gus has a spare room but as you can imagine, there’s ‘no room in his Inn’ for Sean ‘Shout’ Slater. However, he has other ideas. Could this signal the beginning of the end for our road sweeping Hero Gus? Will he suffer the same fate as Billly and Honey Mitchell and be left wondering the streets of Walford this Christmas with no where to call his own?

im realy enjoyin corrie at the mo the michelle/ryan story line is brill,nice to see gus back in eastenders he\’s very lucky to be sharing his flat with that gorgeos sean slater and i think jane should back off from steven after all hes been in the family longer than she has and ian shouldnt put her before his own kid. happy xmas evri1.
paul sid wot eva u get a life if thats all u can do is send ppl rude mgs like that and by the way ur reading msgs on the soap blogs so if u think its aload ov rubbish y u reading them in 1st place.
id just like to say i will b looking forward to dannys return lol
my comments about eastenders is yes my opinion thats wot i think its got nothing to do with wots happened to ne1 in real life this is wot this blog is for comments bout the soaps nothing else im sure the editor wud agree,
Really original stuff……Bringing back a loud mouth cheating dummy, a real life one at that.
SURLEY kEVIN WOULD NOT GET ARRESTED BUT THE TEACHER FOR THE OFFENCE OF ABUSING AUTHORITY. HE WOULD EXPECT, THE SACK, REMOVAL FROM THR TEACHERS REGISTER, AND A PRISON SENTENCE. WHY CAN\’T THE SOAP WRITTERS GET IT RIGHT? DO THEY NOT EMPLOY ADVISORS ANY MORE??
a message for ANG you obviously do not watch enders much or you would know that steven is not related to Ian,he is the son of his ex wife and Pats son
a msg 4 ted acutally ive watched eastenders from the begining and yes i do no who stevens real father is but more to the point ian raised him has his own til not so long ago and steven even now sees ian has his father.
HI, C R. Speaking of Corrie\’s John and Rosie\’s exploits; little is mentioned of Rosie, yes she is a minor but she knew what she was doing alright, John deserves all he gets but Rosie is no angel and she should also get her cumuppance,the victim in this saga is Fiz; poor lass I hope the script writers have a good part lined up for her, she deserves better. As for the love rats! send them to Coventry, or better still get them out of the program all together, we can do without story lines like that.
to (no name) who wrote all in CAPITALS:
I think you need to get it right. The teacher wouldn\’t get arrested- he only would if Rosie had not been legal for sex. Considering she\’s 17, he\’d just get fired (if that, nowadays). And Kevin would get arrested because (in case you didn\’t know) assault is illegal. So if anyone needs to employ an advisor, it\’s you.
BRADLEY WALSH RETURNING TO THE STREET, HAVE\’NT THEY GOT A PART FOR HIM IN EASTENDERS THEY COULD DO WITH A BIT OF HUMOUR.\’\’FUNNY GUY\’\’. BUT TO ADD SOME HUMOUR AND ENTERTAINMENT WHY NOT GET SOMEBODY LIKE ERM.\’\’COUNT ARTHUR STRONG\’\’ IN THE STREET HE WOULD SOON ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS A GREAT CHARACTER WITH HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE OF SHOWBUSINESS AND AFTER DINNER SPEAKING A TRUE THESPIAN AND RACONTEUR. \’\’PRODUCERS TAKE NOTICE\’\’. IF YOU WANT TO HEAR C.A.S. TUNE INTO RADIO 4 AT 11.30AM ON THE 28TH DEC. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. B.H. \’\’WARNING HIS SHOW MAY BECOME ADDICTIVE\’\’
ang….steven did shoot jane!!! the gal cant have kids due to the evilness of him!!
Stevens an attention seeker. i mean if he sees ian a s a fartherthe y lock him up?! DUH!!
Corrie is my favorite soap, i never miss an episode, however i have to agree, the michelle baby swap thing is a bit far fetched. i would also like to see the \’cling on\’ vern disapear and jim back with Liz, he\’s much more exiting, don\’t you think?
PLEASE PLEASE could they find a way of writing Janice Battersby the mouth out of corrie, she is so irittating
Can Corrie go back to being on Monday\’s and Wednesday\’s? It is on far to often for me to keep up and it was much better like that.
he shot her you mentalist, and also Ian isn\’t stephens biological father.
I THINK CORRIE IS GREAT BUT THEY NEED MAKE AN EXIT FOR LIZ,S NEW HUSBAND , HE DOESNT FIT IN ANYWHERE. NIETHER DO THE KEBAB, FAMILY.carole belper derbyshire
Please get rid of Liz\’s new husband, we need Jim back. Its got to be Jim and Liz and nobody else, Jim is Brill.
jeano. Storyline bout Ryan being swapped at birth in Corrie is not working . Luv Vern and Liz, grt double act. Get rid of Jim. and kabab family . Carla very wooden actress , get rid of her .Luv Liam and Maria.Eileen is great too. Michelle bit too polished for part she is playing. Get yr make-up off once in a while to look more real and yr hair messed up a bit. 4/January/2008
can you please make christmas a happy time instead of doom and gloom. Lets have the old humour back and a wedding without you know what.
I\’m glad someone is coming in with a sense of humour, Maria\’s voice drives me nuts screaming and shouting. We could do with a bit of cheeky fun in it like it use to be. Its all boring at the moment nothing to keep you glued to the box.
Yay a worthwhile character on the street for a change.
i think all british soaps should take a reality check, i have not once heard mentioned the current state of our or any other others state of affairs there are thousands of human lives being lost each day, but nothing is ever mentioned .in the rovers the vic or the woolpack, walk into any public house anywhere in the country and people will be discussing the news
Eastenders is going to be dull without that weird look of Kevins and the way he sort of chews his words our, get rid of Carly, keep Deano, Get rid of Kevs new wife and oldest girl. youngest to live with Pat in her massive house, Where do they all sleep I wonder. they must be queuing up for a bed.
Corrie, the teacher bit too far fetched, bout time they got rid of moaning old Sally and her big mouth worse than Janice. get rid of Liz and new husband, give ex husband the bar job. Lets get Sean and his expectant baby together. Where\’s Ken?? Keep Diedre low profile her mother funnier than Deidre straining her neck much longer.
Emmerdale the best, can have a good laugh at Marlon and vet they go together well. And best soap for the last year or 2, too much doom and gloom in Corrie and Eastenders, tell you all of Eastenders cast need to see psychiatrist – or more so the writers do. why bring so much gloom to our living rooms, Iraq and Africa famine enough without all the wigs and old actors dressed up as mutton. shouting instead of talking, we all know who they are, Barbara Windsor, and Deidre, Sally. Gail is looking better, given her a makeover eh? and that boy of hers just too ugly to look at.
I think that you are right EM about cornation street situation , go on you you tell them.
And anyway that little minks tennage daughter Rosie knew what she was doing with the teacher John.
And the teacher should have known better than to get mixed up with her.
And Carole belpher from Derbyshire, You are differently correct, they should get ride of Vernor ,(Liz Mcdonald new husband )he is a wimp and lazy into the bargain. Doesn\’t help in the Rover Return just sits and lounges about.
Bring back Mike Baldwin he was great- he could haunt the cast!!
i think vernon is hilarious much funnier than jim and not nasty and aggressive
what a surprise to hear that bradley walsh is comming back to corrie it will be brill he is so funny i will start to sart to watch it again .it seems to be filled with doom and gloom cant wait
lock up all eastenders cast
Cannot stand that Jim McDonald.
He was the main reason I gave up watching Coro, having followed it from the start.
Can`t someone `bump` him off for once and all!
Corrie is brilliant, more saucy nookie scenes please…!!
tell u what i only watch corrie now ans then but u need to get david a better life. he is horrible.n wers all the fit boys gone
More to the point is Danny\’s ex, a georgeous bit of eyecandy, going to return with him so he can have another try at reconcilliation? Arfur
