Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Do the cast realise how pitiful this show has become? I would almost be ashamed to record some of those scenes. This fine cast deserves better material and so do we!

Couldn't agree more, ff. Sally Dynevor, Malcolm Hebden and Joe Duttine are certainly three of Corrie's finest actors, but this by-election nonsense was woeful and must have put them in a really difficult position having to make something of it.

I've nothing much to add to all of your very pertinent comments about the execrable election storyline, except to note my bemusement that there was no sense of excitement or that it would have been a huge deal for those involved. All we got was Sally gloating and a dismayed Norris - which are hardly unusual scenes.

I thought Aidan's contrived and poorly executed rescue of Marta, Eva and Billy was equally as cringeworthy. It definitely did not make Aidan look the hero (which I'm sure was what was intended). Now that Marta's served her purpose as a paper-thin plot device no doubt she'll never be mentioned again.

Equally as unlikely was an angry Kevin managing to restrain himself from confronting Phelan. I was quite looking forward to that, so I hope Kevin will get him alone to make it clear to him that he'll pay sooner or later.

Kevin don't have the smarts to outwit and threaten Phelan imo

With Owen gone and Jason, Gary and Michael not too smart either, I think it could be left to Todd as Tony isn't returning

Kevin might not be as clever as Phelan, but the latter is so cocky he'll make a mistake sooner or later. However, I agree Todd is the likeliest person to cotton on to Phelan's dastardly ways and outwit him. He already smells a rat.

I think Todd could fight dirty just like Phelan

Where is Gary, he wont be happy hearing the lies that his mam and Phelan had an affair

Jason, Gary and Michael not too smart either, I

ha ha ha that has to be the ultimate understatement????

[flappinfanny]

The results of the North Korean election are more realistic.

That's funny.
