Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

If Rita was able to bang on the floor, why did she not use the SOS code, even dim Gail might have cottoned on that it could not be the pipes ... and when she sat on the floor, could she not wriggle on her bottom to the landline phone, if she has one ... or at least to the front door so she could shout out??

An all together a truly awful episode - every cliche about a lonely old woman at Christmas, alone with a cat talking to herself (or the cat), reminiscing about the past. Phone goes suddenly dead as she is about to press the third 9, no low battery warning. Handy that the back scratcher was to hand. Wincing in pain as she tries to pick up phone with right hand, but later lying on the floor with her head resting on the same arm.
They really have done Helen Worth a disservice with her current material, better if Gail had stayed in Thailand wearing fisherman's pants.

Lousy Christmas episode (no logic, rhyme or reason)

I thought it was jolly decent of the police not to interfere while Gary and Derek were having their fight and just letting them get on with it...

[tammyy2j]

We know Fiz cannot count, she needs to be in school with Hope

I thought Maria would miscarry with the stress

Michelle crying for the same Robert she was framing for murder, I felt sorry for him, he never met his son thanks to Michelle and Vicky

All these deaths are down to Windass.

Derek was hopeless. If he wanted to test the gun he could have just shot Windass.

Where did Fiona get the gun from ?

Some household sale .. apparently the gun was de-commissioned ...

Soaps and tv dramas never seem to understand the difference between a rifle and a shotgun, they talk and bullets when shotguns fire cartridges containing pellets. When Derek shot thru' the door, a shotgun would have blown the whole glass out and most of the frame. Altho' we could not see clearly it looked like Robert had a single bullet would to his chest, instead of having most of his chest blown away which is what a shotgun would do at that range.
Bit of a clear out of cast members especially if Shona does not survive.
They also have trouble telling the difference between a shovel and a spade.

Fiz was told it was decommisioned - but apparently not.
