I thought I hadn't seen Alma Baldwin in Coronation Chicken Street lately!
Seems that Amanda Barrie has spent the past 10 years locked in an American Basement, and luckily a neighbor (Rita Fairclough? Emily Bishop?) overheard her screams and rescued her from the kidnappy clutches of Ken Barlow, where he forced her into sexual servitude clad in nothing but her Carry On Cleo costume.
or something.
And they arrested three men - so, that's Ken barlow, Kevin Webster and Tarby.
I don't know - you don't see these soapy stars for years on end, and it turns out they've been abducted by a (alleged) triumvirate of toddler touching pervy co-stars and comedians.
Not seen Betty Turpin for a long time either - probably been coerced into manual Labour. Gordon Ramsey whipping her nightly to mass produce her now legendary hot pots.
And what about Bennie out of Crossroads? Kept on a leash as a sex slave for Chastitty Dingle or someone most likely!
That reminds me - must nip down to the cellar and feed Carmel and Jacqui McQueen before they starve to death. At least the weather's heating up, so they won't be as cold in their Hollyoaks Babes Calendar bikinis.
