In the Bistro, the SOCO's were gathering evidence and Debbieneeezer Scrooge was walking around as if it didn't interfere with an attempted murder crime scene! And Ray was sitting in the corner too - laughable!

I think I am suffering from deja vu. Hit over the head in a bar, critical condition, bleed on the brain, whodunnit - everybody guilty. Personally I think it could have been Bobby or Ben or Stuart or Suki or Tina.......oh, hang on a minute......
Who hit Adam - Don't think Peter, Gary or Adam did it, not sure about Sarah, Altho any of them could have spray painted the office. Gary scrubbing his hands, Sarah looking guilty and going out in the night, and Peter with paint on his top. Too red to be blood, which goes dark when exposed to air. Even if it was blood how would it get on his top if his jacket was zipped up, come to that how would paint get there. Looks like Carla wasted all that bleach. Whoever did it they will probably get away with it, Adam will probably keep quiet and not press charges, unless one of the actors is leaving, which seems the only time characters are held to account for their crimes. Looks like Abi got away with causing the power cut.

Perhaps that's where he was last night digging up Rick. Altho' he surely would not put it there until after the sink hole is investigated. Not sure how long it is before a body decomposes, I would have thought it has been there long enough that it would break into pieces if he tried to move it, mind you that would make it easier to move. Apologies to anyone reading this post just before eating their tea.

Possibly - but he wasn't really involved in the Adam argument. I think Sarah did the graffiti because it said "Liar and Cheat" and it was her he cheated on, but I don't think she attacked him. Maybe in the dark someone though it was Ray, bringing us back to Gary again.

Yes, I thought that about Ken?s business. I racked my brain but couldn? t come up with one. Yes, he was editor of the Weatherfield Gazette and a teacher before that. They should research before making stuff up.
I can actually remember Ken's suicide attempt and Bet arriving on the scene to talk him out of it in her unique way. I can't believe it's been 30 years... I can't remember him having a business either but I wasn't watching it regularly at the time. Still, well done to the writers for bringing that up and allowing Ken to relate to Peter, to some extent. He's right, he would have missed out on so much if he'd gone through with it.

Perhaps he meant he lost his job as editor as a result of his affair with Wendy, after a new owner took over, and made him resign after he missed a meeting because his mind was not on the job. He became even more bitter when Wendy got the job of editor on less money. - Life is a bitch!

Personally I don't think they have done a very good job of 're-casting Todd or Summer. I just cannot associate. the new Todd with old Todd. It's not that I dislike new Todd. In fact I would have been happy to have him from the beginning, I just find him too different. The new summer actress is 6 years older than the previous Summer and the way she plays her now is about the same 6 years older. The character has just aged to quickly.

News of Brexit has obviously not reached Weatherfield yet, if Emma thinks she can just move to Spain that easily.
Do we know if Weatherfield has actually left the EU yet. Remember, it is not part of the UK. It has its own legal system, its own local council system. its own planning rules and its own NHS. So it may still be in the EU.
And as for turning up at a tram stop and expecting to magically arrive in Canada without any documentation whatsoever, with the further expectation of living there! Clearly the population of Weatherfield are able to access the Teleporter that was last seen on the Starship Enterprise, for their urgent travel plans!

Why did Leanne have a whole bottle of Zolpidem? Yes, I know the doctor prescribed it, but she said she would give her some and then wanted to see her in seven days to see how she is getting on. It seems highly unlikely to me that the doctor would therefore prescribe more than seven tablets. Zolpidem is very powerful and the doc could see what a state Leanne was in, so it would be highly risky prescribing her a whole bottleful.
Also how did she get it as presumably she didn't go out to to get it at the pharmacy?

Guess she will be back more once the property storyline nears conclusion. With Johnny off to jail she will keep Jenny company, maybe her boyfriend had to return to work and went back from wherever they came from?

The original Summer, actress Matilda Freeman, was 16 the same age as the actress. The new Summer, actress Harriet Bibby, is 22, too big an age jump and it shows. The recast was necessary because Matilda decided it was time to move on. But I think they could have tried harder when finding a replacement.

Kelly is probably preparing to apply to be on "The Apprentice" candidates there frequently hold their phones in this style, "It's Cool"! - ﹰA greater mystery is when Leanne took the second sleeping pill, her head was on the left hand side of the sofa, but when Simon found her next day it was on the right.

He *is* both tiny and puny.....and given his 'storylines'....it has a lot to do with his appearence.
If you were to describe his character traits, past/current storylines, you'd think you were dealing with some sardonic, hard-as-nails, rich, crazy psychopath (that's a hit with all the ladies)
Yet his 'visual' is that of some six-stone, bouffont (comb-over) haired, skinny-jean-wearing, plum-mouthed, 21st-century 'Metrosexual' Man-Boy (whose witty-asides, stretch no further than various eighth-hand internet memes, in both content and originality) armed with the sexual magnetism of a Young Charles Hawtrey.
Whilst not exactly 'Burt Reynolds' myself...I can confidently state that he is a 'Girly-Man' (which would be OK, except that his character isn't meant to be)
The only 'arc' the writers got correct, was the 'hairdresser' gig (and little else)

I'd prefer to hear your analysis of two characters in EastEnders, how Phil is treated as the second coming of Al Capone and the Kray twins while being irresistible to women and Max Branning for, well, everything.
In answer to the point about David, someone said he was a great character, and the answer was that he wasn't due to his physical size, it just seemed to suggest that someone can only be defined in how they look.

I thought this was a 'Coronation Street' forum?
Haven't watched Eastenders in about 15 years?
However, despite both advancing years (and waistlines) at very least Steve McFadden looks (or looked) the part from the moment he (and Ross Kemp) came into the show. I stopped watching it for the very reasons you cited (too much crime, gangsters, etc) but you'd find that any real-life resident hard-man usually attract all the women (wheras the nice guys rarely get the girls) I'll take your word for it, that his character (although pushing 60) is still ruling albert square (but that's more down to lazy scriptwriting and doesn't deter that at very least McFadden looks like a nasty piece of work....thus, the 'part' he's playing)
Shifting back to 'Coronation Street' (if I may?) It appears that in recent years, Gary Windass is the local 'crime-boss/hardman' (Mikey North isn't exactly 'Charles Bronson.....but he has enough of a back-story to warrant such a reputation, army, PTSD, criminal-dealings, etc) and yet once again (similar lazy) scriptwriting undone any (and all) such build-up, by having him put in a coma at the hands of a (quote) "six-stone, bouffont (comb-over) haired, skinny-jean-wearing, plum-mouthed, 21st-century 'Metrosexual' Man-Boy"
Which in turn, ruins the credibilty of both characters to ever convincingly co-exist in their respective roles again?
In answer to the point about David, someone said he was a great character, and the answer was that he wasn't due to his physical size, it just seemed to suggest that someone can only be defined in how they look.
You may well enjoy the 'character' (taste is subjective, after all) but the fact remains that Jack Shepherd looks like a physical weakling (compared to EVERY other character in the show.....Maureen Lipman would easily take him in a fight) yet he seems to get all the (frankly, inappropriate) storylines that belie his appearence and overall demeanour. I'm sure he's a really nice person in real life (but the crazy, aggressive, street-fighting stud traits are COMPLETELY beyond both his looks and range) and that is why I don't find his character (nor the writing that accompanies such) believable.
Personally, I'd sooner the show have no gangsters, tough-guys, comas, rapes (nor box-ticking agendas) and preferably focus on gentle drama (like it used to) but hey, that's just me (and like I said, taste is subjective) All I ask is that (at very least) he LOOK the part he's playing?

While this might sound harsh, I must admit to feeling practically no sympathy for Peter, this is the Xth time he's been drinking himself (now literally) to death. and its a rinse and repeat storyline. I know we're probably meant to find some sympathy for him and that alcoholism is an illness, but really the storyline has been redone far too often.
Also, I really can't blame Asha and Adi's lack of excitement at Dev's 'big surprise gift', a bloody sign, underwhelming or what.

Why on earth did she not take it to the police or the Council planning office. She seems to be saying if Ray admits to trying to rape Faye, she will let him carry on with the development, this after all her attempts to stop it. Ray is unlikely to admit to attempted rape when it is a case of "he said, she said" with no corroborating evidence. Abi knows what a nasty piece of work Ray is yet she goes to see him alone without telling anyone else as far as we know. Just not credible! - I reckon he will hurt Abi, but get caught for it, so ending this storyline, maybe with Debbie giving evidence against him.

Could you imagine Hollyoaks having this rubbish? then again you are more likely to see a Fanny in Hollyoaks than saying the word. So Debbie is going to be Kim Tate of Weatherfield. I should care about Peter but i don't.
I think all the Soaps are struggling a bit just now, but it is not just because of Covid, it is because they have too many weekly episodes to fill. The Fanny stuff was just cringe, naughty schoolboy stuff. If Peter is going to die, let him just get on with it, unfortunately I think he will have some kind of epiphany and survive.
I did not think for one minute that Debbie had killed Ray, so no surprise there then.

I'm also fearing the worst with this Fanny nonsense, that with just that name to go on, Gail will discover a whole family history in no time.

Gail seems to be suffering the same fate as Marlon in Emmerdale and Phil Mitchell in Eastenders, that well known Soap condition of becoming a "caricature". Could it be be the "Fanny" will turn out to be famous "Fanny by Gaslight".

If it is you, please tell us now, and save as the pain of having to watch Gail track you down.

Gail said she could not go to stay with her mother because they had fallen put, but tonight they greeted each other in The Rovers as if everything was OK, did I miss them making up again?
Aggie treats Michael like he is nine. She is not a very nice person.

Can't decide what the Baileys bring to the Street?
none of them have a personality, Michael is so over the top, it's wonder he's not fallen off a cliff!

I thought Peter was desperate on Wednesday's episode, I felt more sorry for him than Ken after his thump, so easy to lash out but then you have to live with yourself, Peter is sinking and
I cannot imagine his misery, he did well!

There was a time you could say happy was gay, "gay" is something else in Corra, this is quite a head count now.

If that's what they want.
I am confused about Platt's House. Gail bought it a long time ago so even though Platt paid off the mortgage, he should still have bene in profit. Unless he has spent it, he should easily be able to pay a deposit but he would have a much bigger mortgage than he had before he was daft enough to sell .
So Carla changed her mind about going with Bogus Nick
Are we heading for a Nina and Asha coupling?
seems no one can just be friends
tim and steve or abi and sal or sal and gail are only true friendships when remembered some times

Would be nice to see Nina and Asha be confidantes,🙋*♀️ not many young members are sincere pals🤔
Asha could do with a genuine friend, not necessary a relationship 😃😃

With the muscle that Seb has put on recently, he probably put it on his back and carried it up on his own.

I'm just wondering if it's me who has got the Government message wrong as I can't understand why everyone in Corrie wears a mask when they are not near anyone else, but then takes it off when they get close up and talk to people.....

It might have something to do with making it easier for viewers lip reading or just to make the actors speaking more audible in general. And they seem to stick to a fair distance when talking to one another .. when Ken talked to Roy under the bridge the other day they seemed 3 metres apart at least ..

I have been wondering the same thing. Like Perdita I thought it might be be to enable lip readers and clear speech, but sometimes they converse for quite a long time before taking their masks off, so that part of the conversation is lost to lip readers, and quality of speech does not seem to be affected by the masks. Does the director decide when they come off or is it left to the actor to, remove them as they see fit. It seems that the use of masks is just to recognize that Covid exists but not in a realistic way.

But I'm confused🤔, they wear masks outside then remove it when they go inside,
maybe subtitles could be put on for hard of hearing viewers, 😌
