Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Perdita]

Powerful performances by Daniel and Peter, Corrie does abuse storylines really well.

Did Hope's tutor leave her job in Birmingham and come all the way up to Weatherfield to teach just one child? Can you actually get live-in special needs tutors or is this something Corrie have made up? Evelyn was funny though, with her "fronted adverbials". I had no idea what they were either - why not just say "adverbs"?

The abuse storyline is getting more complex than I originally thought it would be. It looks like Paul thought he was in a consensual relationship but has just realised that he was manipulated into it by an adult, which creates a very grey area in moral, if not legal, terms, sort of like Maya and Jacob in Emmerdale.

I like it the way they made Paul's story different from Bethany's grooming storyline .. I think Peter Ash is performing great as the victim ... This has made me aware of diffent ways of grooming so I think it is an important and valuable storyline to show...

Peter Ash as Paul was very good

I cannot warm to the mother and Gemma has gone from liked to not liked anymore with me

The Max and Leanne scene was also good

[Perdita]

Why is Leanne forever letting herself into the Platt house just as Shona is having an argument with Max? Leanne and Shona were not exactly close before???

I think Leanne can relate over her experience with Simon not being his birth mother and his bad behaviour and maybe Leanne feels guilty for keeping Nick's secret of stealing from Audrey pinning it all on David, both are with Gail's boys so have that in common also, Leanne has the timing down to perfection catching them arguing

Mind you, when are they not arguing? It would probably be harder to walk in when they weren't!

I get that but why is she letting herself into David's house suddenly???
