Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[DaVeyWaVey]

My mouth was literally hanging open as the bar exploded and the tram came crashing down. Loved the bit with the second carriage in the air, then slamming into the Kabin. An amazing stunt! Loved Molly desperately trying to outrun the tram with baby Jack in her arms.

Tonight's two episodes were some of the best soap episodes in a long while... the build up was so well done..Ashley saying bye to Claire as he went to the stag do, then telling Peter he had to get home to his family... Rita heading back to the Kabin and stopping to talk to Nick... my fingers were in my mouth at these points! These characters we care about so much are about to have their lives changed forever.. I was on the edge of my seat!

I loved the quick shots just as the bar was about to explode and John attacking Charlotte with the hammer! The tram crash happened just in the nick of time for him! A special mention to the actress who has played Charlotte - she's played her part so well! She is so convincing as a deluded, barmy and lonely woman.

The aftermath is going to be immense.

I wish I felt more excited about it. I feel like the spoilers have given too much away. I know its my fault for reading them, but sometimes you just cant resist lol.
But yeh they were incredible scenes. My favourite characters in that were definitely Kevin, Molly and Tyrone. I've followed the story for ages. I just wish Molly had told Tyrone about Kevin. Feel like its gone on for too long. I hope she doesnt take it to her grave without the truth ever coming out

Do you reckon Kevin will be the one that goes in to try and save them? He's the one standing right by them.

There was a gas explosion. Ciaran and Nick talked about the pressure being low and not being able to provide hot food. Guess we'll find out exactly what was wrong with the gas after the investigation into the causes of the explosion. No doubt something to do with Owen and Chris.

And yes, I agree with everyone here, amazing, awesome. I watched it several times!

My only slight criticism was that it wasn't as good as the cardboard carousel being blown over in Eastenders...er...

Yes I agree that really was an excellent stunt and set the benchmark for soap stunts. How clever was it for them to find the body of an old war hero that nobody new existed lying under the polystyrene and cardboad.

Ooooops I better dash. Here comes the nurse with my medication

Thanks for clearing that up! I couldn't work out what caused the explosion!

I just loved both episodes; there was so much going on even before the tram crashed onto the Street. John Stape will probably hide Charlotte's body in the rubble and make it seem like she got hit by falling debri I hope Rita doesn't die though, we've already lost a legend in Jack recently.

Did anyone catch the ITV2 special with Stephen Mulhearn? Phil Collinson said it was the most expensive stunt in British soap history; I can definitely believe that after the amazing scene where Molly runs away from the tram crashing into the shop. Brilliant!

Rita will tunnel her way out by eating all those boiled sweets that fell on her.

[Perdita]

Does not look good for Rita, the way everything came falling down on her

[sean slater]

Wow that was so awesome! Like that Kevin and Tyrone are trying to get Molly and baby out. Molly's dead I think.
