I've no idea what to make of the Katie/Hannah storyline... First of all, the idea of Jim telling Liz in a public place with their "daughter" sitting behind them, was stupid and insensitive. But the whole concept is ridiculous anyway, considering it's been done before with Ali and Ryan anyway, and it's arrived in the middle of Tyrone's storyline about being abandoned/adopted. To be honest, it's one of the worst storylines they've done, and that's saying something.
The only possibility I can come up with is that it's a scam, and if Jim is in on it, I hope Liz and Steve kick him out of their lives for good and that he never returns to Weatherfield because it's the worst thing he could do to them. And if it's just Katie/Hannah, I hope she gets punished properly and not just forgiven by everyone involved. There's no way the writers can rescue this storyline - it's going to take a huge suspension of belief no matter what happens.

If ever proof was needed that five episodes a week are too many the Katie/Hannah story is proof. As said above the hospital baby mix up has already been done with Ali and Ryan, not only are they recycling story lines but they are copying other soaps with the Emmerdale Charity Dingle baby Ryan story and on Eastenders Ronnie Mitchell dead badly swap. It's becoming how many 'variations on a theme' can be thought off. All soaps would be better off if they reverted to two or at the most three episodes a week, where there would not be the need to continually find new stories and where proper research and writing could take place.
I am beginning to feel I was lucky to leave hospital after my birth with my real parents, or did I?

Lets be honest CS did not need to do this storyline with Liz, Jim and Katie and although they are not jumping the shark, it is crass.

On a positive note that part had Maureen Lipman written all over it. Quality.

I don't know why they brought Jim back in the first place. I never liked him as a character and it seems like he hasn't changed - he's still the same old stereotype he always was, even after living in Britain for decades. If he's out of prison, fine, just have Liz and Steve talk about it for a scene or two, then move on.
And that scene at the end of the first episode - YUCK. Even if they're not related, seriously, Jim McDonald has managed to land a younger girlfriend?! I bet she's using him for a scheme of her own.

emerald
13-09-2018, 10:44
On a more positive note, I thought Liz talking about all the things she could have done with Katie was very moving. I think she accepted Jim's story because she desperately wants to believe that Katie is still alive, and perhaps always has done, deep down. She's had to watch other characters with their daughters over the years (her friend Deirdre with Tracy for example) and it must have been hard for her, especially when they fell out.

This is very cruel by Jim and fake Katie, Hannah who looks very like Kate Connor

Steve and Tracy discovered that Hannah changed her name but Jim's "lawyer" said that babies Katherine MacDonald and Hannah Moreside were born on the same day at the same hospital and Liz and Steve believe it all, I think Tracy will discover the truth and want a cut of the cash :p

I like Tyrone's nan but her arrival is soon, he just discovered her

18-09-2018, 10:54
I liked Evelyn in her first episode but since then she's just become annoying, especially during the quiz where she shouted out the answers. (Mind you, I can't complain - I thought the answer was Atlanta too...) Plus she's a potential shoplifter - just what Tyrone needs after putting up with Jackie all those years..
And what has happened to Imran? He started out as a fairly interesting character who was educated and had a good job, now he's just a typical Corrie idiot who believed Toyah and Leanne's ridiculous set-up. Note: if something seems too good to be true it probably is!

Also, I can't understand why they brought Tyler's mother into it. They already have a Northern Irish stereotype in the show and it's just going to be another excuse for Peter and Carla to fall out and keep this on/off "relationship" going for even longer.

I can't really think of anything positive to say about the two episodes, apart from Sally helping Leanne and Toyah get revenge on Imran and even that seemed to depend on coincidences and the convenient dropping of various sheets of paper.

No campaign for Sally, this PM is too busy being allowed ten minutes to grovel at the foot of the shoes of the EU for her own job sake.

Imran caused Sally to go down then looked rather sheepish when she did, hope it comes back to bite him on the landing gear.

Nasty Tyrone is back, he always takes out the acts of nasty vile women on him by hurting others, but then what twek lets a women come live when them because no where else will have them including the council. Fizz just needs to move out with the kids and let the twerp get on with his dulided antics.

And any minor trace of sympathy I may have had for Sally disappeared.

Between her overreaction at Paula and Sophie, the phoning up of a potential witness and the trick with 'the list'.

Then she says to Paula "You legal types are all the same, no morals (paraphrase). This from someone in politics, no matter how low level is a bit rich.

Does Tim not understand how the courts work, everyone is entitled to have someone to defend them. Sally is on remand because she intimidated a witness and was so arrogant she thought she could defend herself not because of anything Imran did.

They are not married because Beth was already married. This came out when Craig applied to join the police. So the marriage to Kirk was annulled as not legal.

Some funny moments when this Steve and Tracey saga started, but yes ff, now a massive yawnfest. I was a big fan of Jim a long time ago, but from his previous return and now, the writers have managed to destroy that which made the character of Jim popular.imo. I too think it will be his finale.

But worse than that was the paramedics just leaving with a dead body on the floor. There is no way they would have left before the police had arrived. At no time would the family have just been left alone with a dead body in the room. Complete and utter nonsense.

Michelle really did unnecessarily complicate things by making Ryan and Sophie lie about the time, all they had to do was says they did not notice the exact time and they thought it was about half past or quarter to, which would have fitted the time frame, after all I and others often go for quite long periods without looking at a watch and am quite surprized to see what time it is when I do. If Sophie had not lied she would not have had to go back to the police station and the police would not have had to revisit Ryan and find the pills. And no way would she have got 10 years, like her girl friend said, people rarely get that for GBH. Failing to call an ambulance is not a crime even though one would be expected to do so, all Michelle achieved was to draw attention to the whole sorry affair.

It's a bit of a plothole as Hannah will have to keep applying it just in case she meets Liz in the street...
And Daniel planning his wedding for the same day as Tracy's was ridiculous - there were bound to be plenty of characters, like Ken and Beth, who wanted to attend both.

The twist where the cop was working for Ronan is very dark. Last year we had corrupt cop Neil, now we have another one in the police station bullying Ryan (who I really felt sorry for, for a change). The writers must have something against authority figures..

I quite like this incarnation of Ryan, the actor is very good

I think Emily is Tracy's godmother but she seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth... She hasn't even been mentioned since New Year when Ken told Sophie she was staying with her niece Frieda. I agree she should have been at the wedding, or at least been mentioned.

Thankfully this will be the end, or near enough, to a very unpleasant storyline. (although Hannah might turn psycho on Jim at some point...) I can see this pushing Liz towards Johnny again, unfortunately.

The saddest thing of all is that poor Katie is still dead and now Liz will have to mourn her all over again.

Compound fracture was mentioned and I think they did operate but these days they have you up and out of bed the next day, so unless she was in traction I am sure she would have been sent home soon after. Given that her mother was getting married I think they would have allowed her home. Maybe the actress playing Amy was not available because of illness or exams and that is why we did not see her. A broken leg would have been more believable.

Michelle drove off in the car, the bonnet was down but we did not see who put it down, one of those soap mysteries, unless of course the 'garage fairies' did it. If any one committed a crime, technically it was Michelle, as she drove without paying for it. Abby or Kevin cannot be held responsible as they never told Michelle they had finished the job.
On the subject of the 'slow motion' car chase how come the airbag in Ronan's car did not deploy, I won't be buying BMW any time soon. The fence post that had impaled Ronan was at waist level far too low to have enter through the open window, it would have struck him in the chest. In fact unlikely to have happen at all as direction of the force would be wrong. Many years ago I was in a car where the driver was impaled on a scaffold pole when the car left the road and ran on to a building site. This entered thought the front of the car straight in line with the direction of travel. I don't think Soaps should do major crime or car chase scenes as they simply don't have the experience, budget, writers or special effects to make them believable, and usually end up with something that looks amatuerish.

Not sure how much Michelle knows about cars apart from turning the key to make it go. But she was in such a hurry to flee that she probably did not notice, just slammed the bonnet down, and started stuffing things in the boot. They had to contrived some way of letting Rohan catch them, so this was their 'best' effort. As I say I personally don't think Soaps are very good at high drama, perhaps they should return to tales about Bobby, Minnie Caldwell's cat.

There's no way out for Jude, no matter what he does now. He's a pathetic empty shell who tried to use his son as emotional leverage. As Mary said, how was he planning to cover his tracks this time? Was he just going to wander around the streets until it was time to come home from his "training"?

And trying to steal George was pathetic too, especially as he took nothing with him (nappies, bottles, etc) that he might need. I'm glad Roy went after him although I would have liked to have seen how Roy managed to persuade him to hand over George.
The whole Good Samaritan ceremony felt a bit contrived - why was it held in a restaurant?

Yes, I hope that they are going to explain how Roy managed to get Jude to hand over George. It seems highly unlikely to me the way Jude was acting.

Also, in the real world, the hospital volunteer would have won hands down for an award like that. Continuous service would win out over a one-off.

And also agreed, Speed Daal seems a high unlikely place for an award like that. It's like Sally being elected mayor on the strength of votes from people who live in Coronation Street. How big is Weatherfield that everything centres around that street!?

I can understand Davids feelings about him as Gail treats him as the 'Golden Child', Nick could shoot up a school and eat kittens on live TV and she'd still think the sun shone out of his ass.

Why does Nick think Shona is a scrounger after David's "huge salary" from hairdressing, she works herself

Was David blaming Nick being away for his rape, that Josh picked him as he was lonely for his big brother Nick, Nick rarely got a mention from any of the family

The whole Jude storyline is stupid

Simon is still very angry at Toyah

Why is the car being tampered with getting so much attention from the police as it did not directly cause Ronan's death or Leanne getting run over :searchme: Abi smacking Kevin is not helping her prove herself innocent and Seb returns looking scruffy

Yes, nonsense. I'm sure if she was after money she could find someone better!

No, I don't think he was blaming him for the rape, just for not being there afterwards when he needed him for support.


The whole Jude storyline is stupid
Agreed. And absolutely no explanation as to how Roy managed to get George off him.



Why is the car being tampered with getting so much attention from the police as it did not directly cause Ronan's death or Leanne getting run over :searchme: Abi smacking Kevin is not helping her prove herself innocent and Seb returns looking scruffy
Whether the car was the cause of Ronan's death or not, it was still tampered with in a way that could have led to an accident. It is quite right for the police to investigate it.

Tracey damaged a coolant hose with a screwdriver - anyone ever tried to cut a coolant hose? It's hard enough to cut one with a really sharp knife never mind pierce one with a screwdriver.
How did Tracey get to the garage before Kevin, Abby and the police to steal the laptop when she left the pub after them?

I don't know how people are so eager to invest in that factory - it defies all the laws of economics and over the years most storylines relating to it have been boring and repetitive (orders needing to be completed quickly, owners selling shares of various percentages to random people for reasons I can't remember etc...)

Nick's smugness has always annoyed me, he is so far up himself he's in danger of disappearing up his own ass. Gail is equally annoying with the way she was lounging about the factory.

Personally, I would have thought that if there were two people with equal or near equal shares, one couldn't sell without the others knowledge.

I really hope Nick isn't here for long, that supercilious smirk of his is just begging for a punch in the mouth.

Also, Sally's antics, what happened with her being bullied in prison?

kate moves fast, run rana

stealing vera's jewelery will not make eveyln likeable instead more unlikeable

I've thought that for a long time, Kate is very clingy and controlling. I remember her more or less trying to control what friends Rana has. It's not a healthy basis for a relationship and I really don't think it's going to last.

Jadefalcon
08-11-2018, 21:26
Sorry for the double post, but that's me just watched Wednesdays episodes and that's Kate trying to plan Ranas life out for her already. Definitely not a good sign...

Put it this way, the argument in the pub the night Rana returned when Kate was basically shouting "It's my way or no way" isn't a good sign either. I don't get Rana, I'd have thought she was smart enough to see this is not a good sign. Perhaps she's so desperate for the relationship to work after the clash with her family she's willing to do anything.

Nick really is a sleezeball. Carla, be smart and put a password on your computer, he really has NO business accessing her stuff like that. Am I wrong for hoping he ends up in an accident somewhere?

emerald
09-11-2018, 11:54
This time last year Rana was married to Zeedan. It's all going too fast and I think Rana is trying to convince herself that Kate was worth leaving her husband for, not to mention falling out with her family. That's why she wanted to propose and settle down with Kate as a married couple - anything less means that she threw her marriage away for nothing. She needs to see how controlling Kate is. And her mother will hit the roof when she finds out - she probably thought the cruise would "cure" her daughter if she was away from her partner for a while.

Rana, you really need to bail while you've still got a chance. What's the betting she'll be expecting Rana to give up her job and look after any baby. She'll probably cite the excuse "Youre at the medical centre among sick people and we don't want our baby sick". The fact she's planning things without Rana even being there is again not a good sign.

I rekon he was the same fella that drove everyone out of the main bar on my most recent cruise ship by durdging up all the best tunes he could, he made Hotel California sound like a death lament.

I just meant the idea that Nick could buy in to the factory without any sort of prior meeting or anything with Carla, but also meant that the same principle would apply elsewhere.

For instance years ago I'm sure the Rovers was briefly owned by Mike Baldwin and two other guys, and every time there was a decision regarding any sort of major thing they all had to be in on it.

That's different. If any new working practices were to be introduced, new contracts let, new pay rates, new equipment bought, etc., the owners would have to get together and agree. But there would be nothing to stop Peter selling his share to whoever he likes.

If it was that pompous elitist ass thats the deputy head, no one would blame anyone for biting him. He's a smarmy twit that sorely needs punching when he's calling everyone else neanderthal, rabble, talking about rabies shots etc.
