Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

She sold Max to Becky

Ha ha...I forgot about that for a moment!

Still, she's had a personality transplant since those days and has been shown as a loving mother in recent times.

So it looks like Tim can't read but he was able to find Faye online, is the writers completely forgetting this?

Maybe Tim will ask Roy to help him read

Kal's mother is annoying

all kal's family is annoying

I know she is tired most parents are but she keeps putting her new life at risk with this irresponsible behaviour and her kids lives at risk. So I have no sympathies with the character. I will be glad to see the back if her. I hope she takes her full maternity entitlement and stays away for the maximum length of time.
Again tim storyline is crazy as there has never been a hint of it before or Steve's depression. Fed up of Yasmeen too.

I agree that Kylie's been really unlikeable again recently and I won't be sad to see her go either, but she has been a decent character and a loving mother for a couple of years prior to the current storyline. I still say that David's reaction was over the top since he's supposed to love his wife and he certainly hasn't seen her as a bad mother in recent times.

Again tim storyline is crazy as there has never been a hint of it before or Steve's depression.

To be fair, I don't think that Steve's depression has come from nowhere (unlike Max's ADHD or Tim's illiteracy). Steve was very down on his 40th birthday several months ago, and there have been various comments since then that he's not himself. I like the way this is building, though I've got no high hopes that the depression will be tackled realistically.

Steve has had the "the lights are on but no ones home" look for some years now.
I think it came on when Fred Elliot died, he started taking on some of his mannerisms and has never snapped out of it.

[Dazzle]

From what Tim said in Wednesday's episode (something along the lines of words being jumbled up) it sounds like he has dyslexia rather than being totally illiterate. That makes a lot more sense in the context of the life he's been shown to lead. I don't have any experience of dyslexia, but from what I've seen and heard sufferers would be able to make out some of the words (depending on severity I suppose).

[Perdita]

Yes, Dazzle, you are right, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Alan Sugar, Jamie Oliver for example are dyslexic but successful entrepreneurs

[Snagglepus]

So what's happening with Peter Barlow and Jim, and Rob digging up the stuff, is that all on a back burner for a while now?

[Perdita]

That will all surface again now - patience, grasshopper, patience

[lizann]

kylie is selfish thinking of herself not her family especially her kids them and david deserve better

so tim cant read at all
