Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Dennis tanner]

Really rolling out the Soap cliches tonight. Bernie getting drunk and abusive towards her son, him getting all jobsworth, and arresting her. Oh, how we will laugh, when the truth comes out. Daniel developing a super aggressive temper, and accused of attacking Nathan. David washing his "blood stained" clothes, I will be surprised if either of them attacked Nathan.

Why does Bethany keep refering to her abuser as Nathan ? Do victims of Savile and Harris refer to them as Jimmy and Rolf ?

Because a lot of viewers would probably not know who Curtis is

My money would be on Gary. Another coincidence for Parkerman, all the main suspects were wearing dark coloured clothing.

Having re-watched the episode I agree.

If Nathan's attacker is discovered then presumably s/he will go to prison for a long stretch. Do we know of anyone who is leaving Corrie soon? Perhaps it was Simon?

If we ever find out, I think this will go down as another Soap crime that goes unpunished, after all his intentions were "good".

Do not think it was Simon, do not think he cares enough about Bethany to do it.

Had not really thought about that until you mentioned it. Could be because Bethany knew him for quite a long time before his abuse came to light, and she had always referred to him as Nathan.

Where as Saville and Harris preyed on people who were relative strangers to them.

daniel is more like a father with bethany than boyfriend

gary will lose the money for liam's private counselling

Things are just getting silly now. Why would Sarah think that Nathan would leave Weatherfield for two grand? He had already told the police he did not see who hit him. So she interferes to make things worse. Gary hit him from behind so must be pretty sure that Nathan did not see him, but offers to pay the ten grand. There is no way they could be sure Nathan would actually leave Weatherfield after he got the money, ten grand is not a lot to start life somewhere else with a new home and job. If Nathan claimed it was a Daniel, there is no evidence to back this up, and it is possible if the police took the word of a convicted sex offender, that Daniel could retrace his steps and find CCTV to prove he was somewhere else at the time of the attack. Drama - Yes - but it needs to thought out a bit better.

Incidentally, I did like it when Sally the Snob resurfaced. Makes a change to have a bit of comedy in all the dreary tosh that passes for Coronation Street these days.

given how roy was arrested, daniel would probably too, nathan should not be allowed anywhere near bethany or any young girls and he is using a different name, im still wondering how he is out
