According to the press there are supposed to be a series of clues in corrie episodes to identify Ken's attacker, the first in last nights episode. Which I guess is something to do with his conversation with Tracy ?
Who cares ?

Bet the culprit's non too pleased ff.:lol: unless it's Daniel who'll pop awf to Oxford with Ken's blessing. Annie Walker has to shoulder some of the blame, who helped create the Kenneth icon, by treating him as if the sun shone out of his backside.:)
It's probably Deirdre or Blanche that pushed him !

Gail trying to buy off the women in David's life again :lweek: £1,000 (albeit of Nick's money) to try and stop Kylie marrying David and now Shona is supposed to disappear for £400.
Shona shouldn't be hanging around saying nothing about who she is, but two wrongs don't make a right.
Eileen's driving lesson :lol: Though it did sound like she was sitting her theory test today, but didn't hear any follow up :hmm:

The scene in Preston's Petals with Norris, Mary, Tracey and Amy was back to the good old days of brilliant Corrie humour. It's a shame they don't do it more often.
tim and teddy bears :p
It was very funny! :D I love every time Tim is on the screen-with or without Sally. They make such a great couple too!
What is Adam up to! He's crazy locking Daniel in the boot!

I watched that series too, very disturbing that it was based on real life. However, I don't know if a soap could really handle that issue in a similar or realistic sort of way?

I can't say I hated tonight's, I did enjoy it, but again for all the wrong reasons. No one can deny it is entertaining and fun to watch, but there is some poor acting and some dreadful scripts. Is Debbie Oates any relation to Queen Kate? How did Craig know it was Shona beaten up, he didn't look at her before calling her name.
The Denise storyline is beyond ridiculous even for CS. Denise would not have abandoned Daniel, this would not have happened and why did she return?

Isn't that Denise played by the same actress as Joanie in Emmerdale?? It was ridiculous that she was suddenly back and behind the door! Would have made more sense if Ken started to look for her and eventually found her then..
So many good storylines but ruined with so much rushing..Painful to watch so many dramatic scenes going on at the same time..

A better episode tonight. Mainly because there was less of the Barlows. Still too many storylines going on, but the acting and script was much better.
The 3 men going into Bethany's room was very chilling and I would say most probably the darkest and most disturbing scene in CS history (and that is not a compliment by the way.)
I thought it was a lovely touch at the end with the tribute to Roy Barraclough.

She wiped the dipstick before looking at it. Of course it was dry!
I don't understand why I'm reading elsewhere that so many people are complaining about this Bethany storyline. Why?? Yes, it's hard to watch at times, but since she's not living with Nathan at the moment, I feel more at ease with it. It's a terrible terrible subject but so important and I think it's very brave from the coronation Street to tackle it. I hope it'll be Craig who finds out it's Neil the police man who is involved in it as well and he will expose the whole gang even while putting his own life at risk and jeopardising his career maybe.. I don't know but would like Craig to be a hero in this. And Mary then helping Bethany in the aftermath...
wanted to see peter's chat with sarah as bethany was trying to flirt with him
Great writing re Bethany.
Be it a man or a women, when someone is so hooked into a person who is using them it is an impossible bond to break. Logic and evidence just dont cut it
Be it a cult, domestic abuse or grooming.

Nathan was not to be anywhere near Bethany so Mary calling the police she might have got a one who was not a dirty sleaze like Neil and they could have caught Nathan at Weatherfield
Thought the conversation Mary had with Bethany was right on the mark, certainly got Bethany thinking and Nathans' pressure did the rest. Hope to goodness the lass Bethany has asked for help responds quickly, and that Nathan finally starts running scared.

I'm not sure about this storyline with Todd and Billy adopting Summer. Surely Drew would have made a more official arrangement about who was to look after his daughter, rather than just asking his ex-boyfriend? He was her only parent after all.

his mother is very homophobic but i agree better legal arrangements would be made
Delighted to have been wrong about the outcome of Bethany's plea for help, great to see Nathan arrested and his outburst. Should have resisted arrest a bit more could then have been decked. Obviously Bethany not out of the woods yet but it's a start. Hope Nathan is now refused further bail. I guess Neil will now become even more unstable.

I don't see that Billy has much of a case if Summer's grandmother is her only living relative.

That is the impression that was given .. however the carpet flopped down in the middle when Phelan carried it to the van .. not sure it would have done that with a body inside but this is soapland ..
I thought the same too. Should have been filmed better if it was a body. Even made me think that Andy was still alive.

The acting from Michelle and Sinead was pretty dire I thought
The guy playing Daniel is good and I like that Adam is back and still charming Mary and up to no good, Aidan deserves all he gets
so now phelan is soppy and love sick over nicola's mother the same man who left mikey die, forced anna to have sex and "murdered" andy
why did robert or michelle not go over to rana medical centre as ambulance took ages even sinead got to frescos and back with shopping

Todd was the best thing about the episode. Cheeseney in the hospital, does he wake up, does he not? Do we care? Fizz was more interested in having a cup of rosy lee. Gemma was a bit ott, tone it down love your not on the stage.
Mary and Adam made me smile tonight, Mary wanting a long grope and cuddle.
Loved David's exchange with Aidan, the little pit bulls face was a picture at the end.

It happens all the time in Soapland. People are always taking time off at no notice - even going off on holidays for weeks at a time. Or, someone, who doesn't work there, just stands in for them without any sort of prior arrangements or approval.

The Mary scenes with Bethany and Sarah were very good and powerful. The ending was quite chilling. There is a spark between Todd and the girl who's just lost her dad, sorry can't remember her name.
Have you noticed how they had toned down Liz now, she no longer looks like a granny slag but rather respectable now, suits her much better. Blanche would be impressed.
Gemma still annoying the hell out of me and bored with the Eva stuff now.

In the Kabin I noticed a sticker on the wall advertising "Ned's Nuts".
The first thing that occurred to me was to ask, "Is he?" Apart from that, I'm guessing it's a spoof ad, and there's no real brand of that name?
(edit - added text below)
Later on, Tod was saying how it felt good to be getting back into a job and he'd been looking through some law books.
Billy: As long as you only use it for the power of good.
Isn't that an oxymoron - a good solicitor?

So is the consensus that Adam didn't resit the exam and he's lying about being a qualified UK solicitor?
Got the impression he is still working on that ... looked like he was studying when Summer came to consult him and he left with books under his arms?
Well, in that case he could be struck off before he even starts if he is pretending to be a qualified solicitor and giving advice . How qualified is Todd, though ?

I think Rosie is lovely with Anna. A pity Kevin isn't a quarter as sensitive as her! Love is about much more than sex.
I think Rosie is lovely with Anna. A pity Kevin isn't a quarter as sensitive as her! Love is about much more than sex.
Yes it is .. but Kevin said it is not about sex .. he felt rejected time after time and I can appreciate that you can be tempted under those circumstances...and yes, I expected him to go with Erica to spend the night at the hotel .. he did not .. I give him a lot of kudos for that
Agree 100 %. Especially when you are not young anymore and both of them have gone through so much. Kevin if anyone should know better after what happened with ty & molly (and himself). He hasn't learned anything. I thought more of Erica too.
You may be tempted yes, I can understand that too, but they are both grown ups and could call it quits rather than going behind the other ones back. They have no ties either of them, except for the money that Anna gave to Kevin. I don't like Anna, used to but not for a long time now, but with Rosie I was able to see the nice side of her, and would wish her to be happy again.
kevin is a tool handy he owns a garage :p

Always happens, probably to make their exit more believable which does not work often, imho
I thought that was all a bit strange. They brought Erica in without thinking much of her character through so she has had a load of stupid storylines that make her look like a pointless character on the street.

The Bethany story line is doing my nut in, I had hoped Craig going to the suoer at his Nick was to grass up the Sarge, he would then be apart of a plan to get the deviant to confess his involvement to the lad on secret tape!!! Thats not happening :wall: Instead they seem to be dragging this story line out as long as possible.. insert yawn . I mean since when would the big boss care that a special quits?
They seem to be twisting this all around on getting a poor other victim to tell the truth because Bethany wont.
Looking forward to a boozy Peter running the pub with the ever so lovely Tracy .. I foresee an empty pub and a quick resale on the cards, may be Fat Brenda will put in a bid and bar Steve for being a nasty name calling twonk.
How is Dev still hanging in there? Even the kids playing his sprogs must sigh when they hear they have a scene with him
We need to see more of Cathy the maniac killer from the bill, or from Sharpe when she played the lady that turned his wife to another and stole Sharpes money. Shes a brilliant actress.

I was looking at the article Pat Phelan was reading online. I noticed the address bar of his browser started: theweatherfieldgazet....
A search revealed that theweatherfieldgazette.com was registered by ITV Studios back in 2008.
theweatherfieldgazette.co.uk however, is unregistered. Anyone looking for a spoof newspaper site?
The alleged journalist who wrote the article was listed as Maxine Corney. Not surprisingly, I couldn't find any entry under that name.
"Frustating Brian" came up with the pet name Catherine Wheel. It did for occur to me for a second that perhaps he meant "weal', but probably not.
Outside Ken's house is there some sort of door entry system? Looked too involved to be a normal doorbell push. There appeared to be two buttons on a large metal enclosure.
Adam, not content with blackmailing Adian about Maria, is now trying to blackmail Eva against Adam.

I think Brian is a good harmless character, quite funny at times. But I think they have made him too comical since they brought him back. He was just a teacher before and not a loony like now. Litter officer stuff last night would have been ok if there was just a one clip with Gemma where he found Roy's receipt, but it went totally too far when he wrote that fine for him!!!

Wednesday's very first scene with Eva telling Roy about her step counter, saying, "My glutes are like rock." The fact she made a hand gesture almost in front of her boobs to emphasise what she was saying didn't help.
I honestly, honestly, thought Eva said "boobs". I had to replay it a couple of times to work out the word. I suppose "glutes" is a reference to gluteus maximus?

Id say Craig and Beffany are far from out of the woods yet, his taped covo wont be admisable in court and it will all grind back on Beffany v the cop, a well trusted member of the Police force. Cops do not like grasses in their mix so Craigs in for hell if he stays on and Beffany could be easily made to change her plea again. The fact that the accusation is of statutory rape wouldnt be covered by an internal investigation, he should of been arrested but he didnt seem to be.

They've taken his computer and mobile phone away. There'll be enough evidence on those apart from anything else. We didn't see him being arrested but presumably he has now. Not being in the police myself I wouldn't know, but I guess the idea of not liking a grass wouldn't extend to someone who blew the whistle on a rapist and someone who helped groom young girls. If it does, there's no hope for any of us when it comes to relying on the police.
I agree. I do think that the police takes this seriously. Also, everyone has enemies too, and I'm sure there's one or two who have suspected him by now. I don't think any normal human being, police or otherwise, is very keen to support someone raping young girls. I'm sure they believe Bethany, especially after what he said on the tape. Craig is a hero, anyone sees that, it's just the stupid law and protocol that he's up against. How he got the information, but I'm sure it will be ok in the end. It has to be.

I think we all hope the same, but as it is soapland who knows what the outcome could possibly be?
I think they will get justice otherwise corrie will get a lot of backlash. It will stop girls coming forward and they cannot risk that as the show has a lot of influence. In fact the outcome should be that more come forward after seeing this story. Its too political to allow people to get off.

So now we have Bethany agreeing to make-up Mary, to pretend she's married to Norris. Craig meanwhile has offered to take photos of Mary and Norris in different poses, to pretend they're married, to win a competition.
Could this be Craig's undoing if Neil the pedo finds out about it and dobs him in for aiding and abetting a fraud?
(That's ignoring Mary's marriage proposal to Norris later. The deed hasn't yet been done. Even if it goes ahead, they wouldn't have been married when Norris fraudulently entered them in the competition.)
Summer was talking to Todd about not having gone to 'finger painting', saying, "Why do you think I sacked it off?"
Did I hear that word correctly? I know skipping, sciving, wagging it, as terms for not going to school, but not "sacked"?
On a lighter note, for me it was a star-studded joke-athon night:
Mary (to Bethany): Mother used to say every time you lie an angel's wings catch fire.
I'd have thought fire was more to do with the group underground, not the one up in the clouds.
Tim talking about his dad wanting to name him Oliver, after his favourite actor.
Leanne: Oliver Reed?
Tim: No, Oliver Hardy.
Steve (looking at Tim): Yeah, I can see it now.
Norris (with Mary) ordering drinks in the Bistro: And if you could do it without either of us being stabbed, I'd be grateful.
Robert: I'll try and restrain myself.
Sinead (to Gemma): Look, I've only got an hour for my dinner and your mouth is taking up most of it.
Summer (about her grandmother): She's that strict, even the cat's afraid of her.
A little later Billy says he needs to let Summer's grandparents know where she is. Summer: No, don't do that. If they find out I've slipped off to see you, they'll have me exorcised.
Kirk: I always wondered what the employee discount was at a pound shop.
