Eileen/Paul in Corrie - what a stupid story ending!

[Smowball]

Why do such a brilliant storyline with Leslie , and then within one episode she is dead and they have split up? It makes no sense at all. Surely it would have been better to keep them together and face the suspicions of everybody as to what really happened with leslie, how would they cope with the guilt etc. very silly ending

Marcus......... (racking brain). Was he the dark haired cocky guy?

pilar was very pretty!

I think horseshoes meant the Dennis who Eileen really loved, the tall guy who eventually ended up with/or had a relationship with, Janice! I could be wrong though.

[cathfromsaron]

ah yes fat dennis who died ... then went to casualty!

[Smowball]

Ah pips, yes I know who you mean now. Dont remember him going out with Eileen though.

[Smowball]

fat dennis who died? im sooo confused!!

I remember Dennis with Eileen, he was lovely, shame he couldn't have stayed in Corrie! I hope Paul goes away and never comes back, he can't act and they are so unsuited together.

[cathfromsaron]

paul's face is too plasticky and shiny ...

Dennis Stringer worked with Les Battersby on community service - for non-payment of parking fines. Dennis was a Hell's Angel until he had to sell his motorbike - or 'hog'- after a divorce. The replacement, a Morris Traveler, didn't quite have the image the Chapter were looking for and they threw him out. He developed from the friend of Les into the partner of Eileen Grimshaw.
Dennis ended up living with the Battersbys, and in 2001 he and Janice Battersby fell for one another in the process. They left their respective partners to live together. Following this, Les attempted suicide by gassing himself in his car. Dennis prevented the suicide, but while driving Les to hospital, died in a head-on collision with another car.

Janice's daughter Toyah gave a reading at his funeral.
