What is Dennis Tanner hiding? surely it's more than just diddling his
social security.

[sherrardk]

I was wondering that, think it might be a wife or something (think the social security thing might be a red herring).

[cupid04]

I suppose we will find out soon enough!

[missprim]

Hope this doesn't mean he's going out of Corrie, I really like Dennis but have been wondering when they were going to give him a proper storyline.

[mrs.chappie]

I think the "Benefits Office" thing is a red herring too.

[SpikeyBush]

It's getting silly. Watched Corrie since the 70s, missed a couple of weeks this year when away for holidays, never bothered watching it since. Series link in sky+ deleted.

It needs to go back to 2 episodes a week to improve the quality of the plots.

It's a shame. It was brilliant. Not any more.

[sherrardk]

Maybe he and the woman had a child, he did a runner (hence ending up homeless) and she saw his name in the paper (as supplied by Norris) or he stole her money, wasted it on his 'acts' and then ended up homeless.

[missprim]

My first thought was that he has been claiming in different names.

[mrs.chappie]

I've just been reading a Corrie blog and it says the woman is an old flame. Years ago he left her standing at the altar and hasn't been in touch with her since.

Have always loved Dennis, hope he stays in as a nice chappy. He always seems much younger than Rita but are they supposed to be the same age?

[Robinia]

I like him too neti, I didn't realise (in real life) he's 75! He looks much younger to me. Barbara Knox is 3 yrs older...No idea how old they're supposed to be in Corrie.

[netibiza]

but he was always a scallywag in the old days so I guess he hasn't changed. :o(

[Tizzi24]

I don't remember him & Rita being an item when he was in it before.

[cupid04]

Didn't he have a thing with Elsie Tanner. I'm not sure, I didn't watch it that far
back. I remember Annie Walker, she used to make me laugh and Hilda Ogden.
Corrie seems to have lost a lot of it's humour these days.

[jackthehat]

I doubt that he had a 'thing' with Elsie Tanner............she was his Mum!!!

[Postdog]

Oh Cupid, that did make me laugh!

[cupid04]

Sorry Cupid faux pas [not concentrating]. They had lots of rows then?

[craft1948]

Made me spit my coffee out...........

[notasyoungasiwas]

By 'eck he looks good for 75 !

[cupid04]

Where have Rat boy and his girlfriend been? Haven't seen them for ages.

Hopefully out of it Cupid - can't stand the pair of them!
