I have this awful feeling that Max will refuse to give evidence against Griff leading to his release. Which will ignore the fact that a) There were explosives in his car b) Spider has been following him all this time and will be able to give evidence against him c) He assaulted Spider and d) He assaulted David.
But, as we can see with the Summer storyline, Corrie never let facts get in the way of a story.
Max is a very confused boy but it's his stupid voice that really really annoys me.

I've just heard him speaking on the awards program and it does sound like his voice, so it must be the way he is speaking on Corrie that makes it sound bad.

I thought he flushed that as well, even though it was wrapped in plastic which probably would not have flushed away. Mind you there would still have been traces of the powder in the air for the dog to sniff. Once again we a situation where reality is not allowed to interfere with a (good ?) story

He did. - He opened the packet tipped the powder into the toilet, releasing some of it into the air, which the dog should have detected, then put the packet in, while flushing. He then wiped round the rim of the toilet with a tissue and flushed again. The dog would have been able to detect traces of the drugs in the air. The fact that it did not, means it was definitely time for it to retire.

Are we meant to think these drugs were placed in the vinegar box outside the UK, and were snuggled into the country this way. If so was it just one box sent from wherever, straight to The Bistro. If they were sent to the UK as part of a consignment then why were they separated out and sent to the Bistro, when they could have been sent straight to Damon, or he could have collected them. Does not really make sense. Seems to be adding in stages where things could go wrong. Do not really see why Damon needed to buy into The Bistro in the first place.

Stephen doesn't enjoy killing. He just does it as a last resort.
Why are victims so stupid? Instead of going to the Police or even Jenny. he confronts Stephen in an empty factory, tells him that there's nothing he can do about it and turns his back on him. He's not the first either.
So the Amazing Summer wants to go to University. Let's hope it doesn't involve her needing to cross the road.

The worst part of this episode, was how they teased us into thinking that it was all going to be over, and that Stephen was off to jail. For a moment I thought we were going to be subjected to that old Soap trope where he opened the box and the body was gone. Thank goodness we were spared that.

My understanding is that canals are not very deep, they were build for barges and narrow boats which only have a maxmum draught of about six feet. You can stand up and walk across some canals without getting your hair wet. The top box is a light silver colour so anyone on the bank should be able to see it.

Am-dram = Amatuer dramatics. - Theatrical performances by amatuer players. Is this not a stateside term? - Or were you questioning my analysis of the episode?
Thanks, I wasn't sure what the abbreviation referred to. Also, I wouldn't question your analysis, mainly because I haven't seen the episode yet (I watch on Hulu & there is a 12-day delay). And I have never thought the actress who plays Maria was a good actress.

LSD alters your perception so altho' Carla may have seemed to have known she was unfit to drive, when she was under the influence of the drug she could not be expected to behave in the way she would if she was not. I have never taken LSD myself but I have been in the company of others that have, and it was obvious that their understanding of reality at the time was very different from mine. Talking to them afterwards sometimes they were unaware of my presence at the time. So it is hard to know what Carla is aware of or her understanding of it.

Hardly worth Zeedan returning. :(
He got the chance to try on his new skull cap.
Should it not occur to Peter that Carla should see a doctor given her medical history?
He will take her next week... not that it will speed up Stephen being found out as nobody suspects him doing anything strange... :wall: But maybe it is the first step in the right direction. :hmm:

I agree and I did think that just about the only redeeming feature of tonight's episode were the Alya and Ryan scenes. Mind you, I fast forwarded through most of the rest so maybe there was a sudden conversion of Stephen, who became a great actor with a brilliant storyline....No? I didn't think so.

Stephen is not the worst acted character in soaps at the moment. I can think of about half a dozen more in the main soaps.
I managed to get through my recorded version of last night's Corrie in just under 30 mins - fast forwarded all scenes with Stephen and Brian (plus the adverts of course). This will now be my preferred method of viewing Corrie.
Yes I have started doing that too. There are literally no stories worth watching on it now. I think if I had to watch the pitiful Steeeeeeeeeeephen much longer I would be contemplating LSD myself although I think I take enough prescription drugs.

Why are those two young boys picking on Max ?
Platt must be totally confused. No other attractive female has ever rejected him.
Adam is becoming a charity, employing two woman to make the tea.

I am wondering why they beat him up, wondered if I had missed something from a previous episode. Not sure Adam actually employed Alya, I think DeeDee took her on as assistant because she has such a brilliant criminal mind....

My main problem with the Stephen storyline is I find Todd Boyce a poor actor.

So Summer is going to be a grown-up girl and not expect The 3 "Happy" men to take care of her there too?
But now an excuse will be needed to give Billy, Paul, and Todd a storyline, of course, the writers are already exploring once again doing B&P reigniting a past romance, really?
I don't think that many people are unable to move on to a new "=love"

I don't think Max did anything in particular to get beaten up. I think we are just meant think that is what happens in these places, where the weak get picked upon by bullies. Or maybe they just don't like racists.

Surely the 3 "Happy" men will take it in turns to provide The Amazing Summer with 24/7 security.

Couldn't agree more, ff. Without the excrable Stephen, that episode of Corrie was a million times better than the rubbish we've been served up with lately. The scenes with Alya and Max were absolutely Corrie at its best. And, even though I am in love with Alya myself (!), I am so pleased to see her and Ryan getting back together. They are a brilliant couple.

It's unfortunate for her that she's filmed at all times.

I think it?s deliberate and that the director tells her to eat with her mouth open, talk while she?s eating and splutter her food. All deliberate for our reaction.

I hadn't watched the episode when I stuck my oar in about Stephen talking out of his arsenal. I was thinking, "I do hope it's nothing too trivial."
Now I've just watched the episode I'm sad it was nothing more serious. Some self-inflicted pain is just what the doctor should order for a double murderer.
Double that we're aware of - he seems to want to be a modern-day Dr Crippen.

He has got the managers job, why does he want to keep drugging Carla ?
I fear that Elaine might be his next victim.
Carla should offer to pay Paul's wages till he is back at work plus a bit of a bonus.
I fear that Elaine might be his next victim.
Paula Wilcox who plays Elaine has gone way down in my estimation. She was pitiful last night with Steeeeeeeeeeeeephen
I was trying to work out what his voice reminded me of.. Nails scraping down a blackboard

Not sure what the laws are in the UK but in the US, if you are drunk or asleep you cannot/did not consent! So yes, it's rape.

Finished how? If he penetrated (with his penis, finger, etc.) her without her legal consent then it's rape. At least here in the US, I don't know what the legalities are in the UK.

Just caught up with last weeks episodes. Can Stephen's story get any more silly. Carla said her tea was too cowy, but Stephen put enough LSD in his tea that would kill a cow, compared to the amount he had been giving Carla. Yet he seemed to recover in a matter of hours, when he should have been tripping for at least a day. Then after the effort Debbie made to get him out of the room she and the cleaner just went off and left him and Elaine in the room, did they stay all night. How many more silly situations between now and Christmas?
