One really important part of the interview I didn't understand was that Craig asked Peter if he would like a coffee and Peter said "No." The next shot was of Peter with a cup of coffee in front of him. I think this needs major investigation.

It didn't look like the sort of coffee cup the Police would supply.
I think it was Craig wanting something to say.

Yes but not murder.
If Young Tinker had been on a CID Course he might have been advised not to keep gurning during interviews.
That would be a question for the CPS. They may consider the car was used as a weapon.

I've got a really good idea for a story in Corrie. Daisy finds out she's pregnant. And she doesn?t know who the father is. I don't think that's ever been done before.

You are right, obviously a case of undue pressure, I suspect Craig used the old Yellow Pages trick, slapped him round the back of the head with it, and said "You will have coffee"

So he could try for unfair dismissal then. If only he knew a solicitor......
Edit: Having said that however, didn't he leave at one point? So he hasn't had 3 1/2 years continuous employment.

Cannot possibly see how DS Swain came to the conclusion, after assessing all the evidence, that Peter was purely motivated by a desire to protect Jenny from possible lethal harm. What they showed us, was Stephen in the middle of the road and Jenny no where to be seen from our view point. So she was in no immediate danger when Peter hit him. Definitely use of excessive force if nothing else. Looks like Peter's exit from the show will not be him going to prison, wonder what it will be.

I don't think she came to that conclusion. I think she and the CPS concluded that a jury was very unlikely to convict someone who killed a serial killer

DS Dwain said "After assessing all the evidence, having considered the CCTV, forensics, witness statements and so forth we have decided not to proceed". No mention of the CPS, the fact that Stephen was a serial killer should not have influenced the decision. It would be the job of the prosecution barrister to argue in court that regardless of Stephen being a murderer, Peter acted unlawfully. After all Stephen has not been convicted of any crime.

Coronation Street has teased some relationship trouble ahead for Asha Alahan and Nina Lucas.
In new scenes set to air on the soap next week, Asha tells Nina that she is meeting her friend from university, Isla, as Nina reminds her that they are meant to be spending the day together just the two of them.
Asha and Amy speak about the anti-spiking demonstration that's due to happen in town, though Nina is taken aback as Asha has never mentioned it to her.
Later on in the week, they both go to meet Isla for lunch, though Asha is dressed up to the nines, which throws Nina.
During the meal, Nina is left bored while Asha and Isla talk about work and Aadi listens. Later, Isla texts Asha, which puts a smile on her face.
Is this threatening her relationship with Nina?
Last year, Asha actress Tanisha Gorey opened up on which sort of story she wants to avoid for Asha, admitting she doesn?t want to see her and Nina's relationship ending due to cheating.
"We don?t need a cheating story," she told What to Watch. "Not everyone needs to cheat in a relationship. But it?s a soap, we need the drama, we need something. But cheating should not be on the cards. Let?s hope that?s not the case."
She added of future hopes: "I think eventually I would love to see them living together because I think the dimensions of them would be quite brilliant to watch."

Peter goes "Sailing" - bit of an anticlimactic exit.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a45782585/coronation-street-spoilers-peter-carla-split-teased/
Coronation Street has teased a split for Peter and Carla Barlow ahead of his exit.
Earlier this week, Carla confided in Sarah Platt that she now isn't sure her marriage will survive as Peter continues to struggle with his guilt over Stephen Reid's death.
Viewers already know Peter will be leaving Weatherfield in the coming weeks, and Wednesday's (November 8) episode may have laid the groundwork for his departure.
Pressure mounted throughout the episode after Carla and Sarah realised that the money Stephen stole from the factory accounts was nowhere to be found.
Carla lied to the staff, claiming she'd be able to pay them by the end of the day because the bank had traced the stolen funds. She asked the team to keep working until she could get them their money.
The lie was quickly uncovered, leading the staff to start striking outside the factory. Peter was taken aback when he tried to reason with the striking workers, only for Sean to blame him for the situation since he'd killed Stephen.
Although Peter rallied Sally, Evelyn, Roy, Nina, Simon, Kirk and Izzy to complete the necessary work, he soon asked Carla whether it was best to give up the business and start over.
Carla was stunned when Peter suggested they move to Mallorca and become crew members on a yacht. In the final scene of the episode, Peter tried to convince Carla that the yacht would make a "fresh start" for them after all of the drama with Stephen.
"Peter, you can't run away from your problems," Carla reminded him. "Like your support group said, wherever you go, there you are."
When Peter revealed that the boat sets sail next week, Carla couldn't believe her husband was asking her to pack up her entire life on such little notice.
"Sorry, it's a very hard 'no' from me," Carla declared.
The episode ended with Peter appearing to be heartbroken after being rejected.
Will this rejection lead to his departure from the cobbles?

Earlier this week, Carla confided in Sarah Platt that she now isn't sure her marriage will survive as Peter continues to struggle with his guilt over Stephen Reid's death.
Viewers already know Peter will be leaving Weatherfield in the coming weeks, and Wednesday's (November 8) episode may have laid the groundwork for his departure.
Pressure mounted throughout the episode after Carla and Sarah realised that the money Stephen stole from the factory accounts was nowhere to be found.
Carla lied to the staff, claiming she'd be able to pay them by the end of the day because the bank had traced the stolen funds. She asked the team to keep working until she could get them their money.
The lie was quickly uncovered, leading the staff to start striking outside the factory. Peter was taken aback when he tried to reason with the striking workers, only for Sean to blame him for the situation since he'd killed Stephen.
Although Peter rallied Sally, Evelyn, Roy, Nina, Simon, Kirk and Izzy to complete the necessary work, he soon asked Carla whether it was best to give up the business and start over.
Carla was stunned when Peter suggested they move to Mallorca and become crew members on a yacht. In the final scene of the episode, Peter tried to convince Carla that the yacht would make a "fresh start" for them after all of the drama with Stephen.
"Peter, you can't run away from your problems," Carla reminded him. "Like your support group said, wherever you go, there you are."
When Peter revealed that the boat sets sail next week, Carla couldn't believe her husband was asking her to pack up her entire life on such little notice.
"Sorry, it's a very hard 'no' from me," Carla declared.
The episode ended with Peter appearing to be heartbroken after being rejected.
Will this rejection lead to his departure from the cobbles?
Carla should not have lied to the staff, there was no need to. She should have told the truth, that if they get the order out on time, it will be paid for in cash and they will be paid. This decision was only taken to cause the strike and inject drama, in reality I think Carla would not have lied to them. Izzy has a very short memory, forgetting that her job was kept open when she could not come to work, yet she was the first to call for a strike.
I think Peter was being unreasonable and unrealistic in expecting Carla to pack up her life in a week. A better more believable exit would be him going to jail or on the run, but then perhaps they did not want to blacken his character. It must be a problem for programme makers when one of the actors playing in a couple chooses to leave and the other wants to stay, to come up with a way to portray this, apart from the obvious, of one of them being unfaithful. But I think they could have come up with a better story than Peter going off sailing.

I find scriptwriters have problems with exit storylines, all soaps make a hash of them if they cannot kill the character off.

This is the same in all soaps. Characters arte not allowed to tell the truth. I find it very irritating

Simon (Alex Bain) returned in 2008, the character would have been 5. The 'twins' (Jake & Oscar Hartley) who portrayed Simon before Lucy took him to Australia were blonde. If he was switched it would have had to happen when they were in Australia. I remember when Bain first came on the show & thought it was an odd choice considering his mother was a really pale blonde, Peter is a bit 'swarthy' but...?

I am not sure what we were meant to take from the scene where Mason pulled the knife. It seemed like he scared himself as much as he scared Liam. When you pull a knife on someone you must be prepared to use it, otherwise keep it hidden. Mason did not look like he was ready to use it, he looked like he regretted pulling it out. If you only show it to scare people, there will come a time when you meet someone who is not scared, and may take it from you and use it against you. There was a moment when it seemed all his bravado and confidence was drained from him, he looked very weak, that was the moment when Liam should have kicked him where it hurts.

I typed Mason. This predictive typing here, constantly thinks it knows what I mean, better than I do. When I type Nate it keeps changing it to Kate. Just now it changed it Hate, and when I typed Hate it changed it to Kate, then it changed Nate to Kate again. Even when I correct it, it never learns. Not much AI here. It drives me mad. This it just one example it second guesses me on lots of occasions. Do others have the same problem? Often even after I have checked spellings, it will chage it after I click on submit, which is what happened this time as I know I typed MASON.

At the same time saying it was wrong that they slept together, she loves Daniel and is going to marry him. If they did not want to be found out, why did they not just avoid each other. They seem drawn to each other like moths to a flame. Did they actually want to be found out? Will Daniel tell Daisy he knows or will he keep the secret? I think she does love Daniel, but is it feelings of guilt for happened to Ryan that means she cannot break free from him?

And cheating himself. That's why I thought you were being sarcastic. Ken isn't exactly known for good & lasting relationships.

His wife famously had an affair with Mike Baldwin but he found a way to keep the marriage.

Ken has been married 3 or 4 times and has had affairs with 6 or 7 different women. I wouldn't want advice from him. But I have also never been a big fan of Ken's, he's so sanctimonious. The thing is, there really hasn't been any long-lasting couples on Corrie to use as role models, at least as long as I've been watching (I think I started watching in the early 90s).

Vera and Jack had their ups and downs but stayed together until death parted them, Annie and Jack Walker too, Annie was the first Rovers landlady.

I forgot about Jack & Vera but their marriage isn't exactly a stellar example (see link). I never saw Corrie when Anne & Jack were still on the show, Jack died in 1970 & Anne's last appearance was in October 1983.

Daniel needs to seek advice from Kenny.
Not sure Ken is the best person to ask for advise on matters of the heart.

It is not the fact that relationships break up I find hard to believe, but when they do, it is usually because they cheated with a neighbour, and when they start a new relationship, again it is with a neighbour. In my street the only person I speak to regularly is my next door neighbour, over the garden wall, and there is about 6 to 10 that I nod hello to. This is in a street with fifty odd houses.

Same here, except I probably know even less than six neighbours apart from my next door neighbour.

Perhaps she's off with Aggie somewhere?

Must be quite a job to keep her away from home for so long, without having a few days with her "girls", unless, of course she's at Norfolk in America 😆
