Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

Gemma's doctor should have advised her to ask to be in far less episodes.

Amen to that!

Platt has this habit of bullying young women and Alina is attracted to young men with silly hair and Platt's magnificent physique sealed the deal.

I agree about David - he was all over the place emotionally when he had that meaningless fling with Emma too. It's a bit creepy.

Ì thought Alina would have known David was married, I am sure she must have met Shona in the cafe.

And if not, who does Alina work with? Oh yes, David's sister!!
Pathetic writing, and once again a young female is "used" to further the storyline of a much older bloke. Even for Coronation Street it was probably a record for time elapsed between first conversation and having it off!

and having it off!

I thought it was only me that said "Having It Off" anymore

Let's hope for the worst eh?

I'm guessing the episodes will feel a bit different from now on, with viewers having to wait 2 days to see the outcome of cliffhangers - like in the olden days... They're also going to have to get rid of any references to dates or days of the week (there were 2 last night) as it will get a bit confusing.
I liked Roy's conversations with Gail and Alina, which felt realistic and normal. Also, did he actually make a joke to Cathy about "getting with it"?! He's certainly got more sociable since Nina arrived, I just hope they keep his essential "Royness" and don't try to make him like everyone else.
And Geoff is beyond annoying now, wasting the time of the emergency services (all the more annoying for viewers at a time like this). Let's hope someone (hopefully Yasmeen) locks him in his magician's box and leaves him there...
