I think there will be complaints with the ending in the church with Billy and his brother. The Daily Mail will hav a field day.
Yes the Trainspotting end scene before 9pm watershed will get complaints
Summer is better with the granny even if she is homophobic
I can't understand how Billy is so isolated anyway. Even if he's had to step down from his duties, surely his parishioners, colleagues or the Bishop would have visited him by now? Eileen seemed to be his only visitor when he was in hospital. I know he doesn't really have a family apart from Lee but surely there is some kind of support network for him within the Church?

Support network within the church. Ah, "an inconvenient truth" interfering with a storyline.

I liked Brian's hair, though he looked good. Audrey getting annoyed is obviously a plot device to force Bethany back to lap dancing, I really hate these contrived situations.
Bethany is a complete brat.
Bethany is just annoying at the moment. Yes, it's probably irritating to have some old guy call you a "bobby dazzler" but unless he's being crude or "inappropriate" you just have to put up with it. If she worked in the Rovers she'd probably get remarks like that all the time - how would she cope?

Bette Lynch used to call people love and I think chuck, don't remember anyone complaining, but this was before the days of PC
I hope they lock her away and throw away the key

Apparently the victim dropped all charges as he did not want his future wife to know he had been to a lap dancing bar.
I would have thought causing a 'life changing' injury requiring stitches to be more of a police matter.

Prosecution can still go ahead even if the victim does not press charges or pursue the matter. Presumably because of the ordeal that Bethany had experienced the police/CPS decided to show leniency. Not sure if it would be the same in the real world.
For the causation of potentially life changing injuries to be dismissed so lightly is a real low point - even in a bottom of the barrel scraping Corrie under Katie Oates. And for Bethany's mother to add that she was proud of her, in the same scene, was the epitome of poor scriptwriting.
the phelan storyline gets more far fetched as it goes on
kate just fcek off, kate oates no one gives a flying fig about kate and her love life

I'm glad Phelan didn't drown in concrete, that would have been too ridiculous for words. Apart from the fact that it is unlikely anyone would pour concrete when there is snow on the ground, as it would take longer to set and probably not have the desired strength for building foundations. Was the concrete pouring unattended when Phelan arrived on site, who was mixing it? was it ready mixed,? if so where was the delivery driver? The concrete looked very thin to me, more like dirty dish water.
You drop your phone into wet concrete, so you climb down into waist deep concrete to try and fish it out, why? It's not likely it would still be working. Then you get trapped by a single scaffold pole and a piece of flexible hose. Even if he had not slipped how was he planning to get out again, he should of fetched a ladder and used that to climb down. Were the fire brigade called to get him out? Surely it would have been better just to buy a new phone. Concrete will most likely be dry tomorrow, (according to the script) so will the bodies ever be found? - I think Phelan will live forever - one of the undead - perhaps Corrie will become a Zombie flick.

Didn't Phelan post some amount of cash in envelopes through some of the locals doors?
Then he allowed then to think he did it not wanting a fuss, but told them it was a 'start' to pay them back their lost deposits by his own hard work.
That's my recollection of it, anyway.

And paying Jason back, his business must be booming, did he own the house Andy was in which burned as he got insurance payout
I thought Eileen was calm about Todd's involvement in the scam, seem to accept it was Pat then it was Vinnie more who scammed everyone :angry: she is so gullibility stupid, did she tell Liz everything?
Tim should not keep quite
Eileen ... wow... words fail me, can she come back from this as someone you would want to know.. she knows what he did but is covering because her son would also be in trouble. But if he has lied about this how can she risk he isnt lying about the deaths.

We had a similar case in our local council recently. A Councillor emailed his resignation to the Chief Executive. About half an hour later, he emailed again to say he had made a mistake and hadn't meant to send the email. He was told that his resignation couldn't be rescinded as it had already been accepted.
As soon as she resigned a process would have begun internally to get a replacement.

Just watched Kate Oates on BBC Breakfast talking about the up coming David Platt story. Thought she looked very smug and self satisfied with herself talking about the meticulous research into detail they carried out. She certainly did not do that with the Phelan in the concrete story. They were pouring concrete in freezing conditions which would have prevented ot setting correctly. They showed a ready mix lorry on sight but no driver to observe Phelan's activities. The concrete was thin and watery with no sign of ballast in it. The hose delivering it looked to be coming from a great height far to high to be connected to the lorry. If it was connected to a mixing plant on site who was operating it. If they repeat this level of detail in the rape story I don't hold much hope that it will be true to life.

Whilst I understand the show has to move with the times (and that cliffhangers have to be a bit more exciting than 'Ken getting shortchanged for a loaf of bread at Alf's Mini-mart') the only thing tonights episode highlighted, was that it's rapidly becoming a 20 minute infomercial for various 'helplines' (and little else)
As if the last 12 month antics of Pat Phelan weren't downbeat (not to mention, farfetched) enough (what with his various ongoing grudges, dodgy dealings, murders, kidnappings and undiscovered daughter) But tonights episode was the worst yet (and maybe that's the point...because the show now just seems determined to out-do itself with every new episode) General entertainment has taken a back seat to social commentary.
It wouldn't be half as bad if they didn't rush the exposition so badly.....but this is what the show seems to do nowadays (the recent OCD storyline being a recent embarrassing notable)
The show itself is full of overely dramatic cliffhangers (that yesteryears viewers would usually have to wait years for) wedged in before ad breaks (or to ensure that you tune back in at 8:30) and usually the outcome is swiftly forgotten or quickly dealt with by the time the show restarts.....and such dramatic cliffhangers occur almost every week (seemingly intent to provide 'TV QUICK' style magazines the prerequisite 'sensationalist' headlines)
An indication of how bad the show is getting, was when David was (rather nonchalantly) describing his mothers previous 5 or 6 husbands (one of which was a serial killer) and yet it just highlighted hòw far-fetched the show has become, when such a catologue of pain and misery heaped one *ONE* family on a street, could just be so casually mentioned in (what was supposed to be) a 'lighter' moment in the show? And then to crown off such absurdity, David was then drugged and homosexually raped (and I thought Elsie Tanner had it bad, back in the day?) I felt compelled to watch the news afterwards (which felt 'upbeat' by comparison)
I'm just a straight white guy (who thankfuly hasn't been affected by gender, disabilty, alcohol or rape issues) and if I had, then I'd certainly seek more professional advice, than from a programme that's shoe-horned inbetween talking meerkats?
Perhaps ITV should have a helpline for people 'affected' by the fact that their favourite shows are becoming bogged down in lazy, patronising, virtue-signalling for whatever atrocity is in the headlines that week?
Excellent summation. Thanks thin space man

Yes, he did
I think the real problem here is the context, as thin space man mentioned in his post. Yes, male rape does occasionally happen in real life and yes, it's a terrible thing and I have every sympathy for the victims, who obviously need a lot of support. And yes, it probably does need to be "dealt with" on tv, in some way. But... is a soap that's broadcast at 7.30 p.m the best place for it?
Surely a "proper" programme, going out later at night, can cover it much better than a soap that is already crowded with storylines (some of which are also "relevant" and important)?

The premise for doing this story line pre watershed was set with the Bill and the character Mickey.
I was frustrated thou that David didnt do the unexpected and go straight to the Police, it could of been a strong message showing there is no shame in being the victim of the sick actions of deviant.
Now we are stuck with a man sicker than Pat on street who now seems to be lining up Shona as his next victim hopefully Dave will bury him alive under Gails bedroom.

I know other soaps have tackled male rape and while it is disturbing and distressing to view, even very unpleasant, the actors playing David and Josh are doing a very good job in this storyline
They are both doing a brilliant job, but I just feel that the programme is already crowded with storylines and they're going to be covering this important story in between comedy sub-plots, like the clairvoyant story. And there are other darker storylines that need to be continued too, especially the Pat Phelan one, which is going to come to a head very soon and presumably sideline David's struggles for a while. A later, hour long drama would be able to concentrate on the issue more than Corrie can.

There, I've said it: Worthwhile to watch. It's a long time since I've even considered saying anything like that, given the dire way the stories have been heading in recent years.

Simon will rip off Carla now he will get access to her computer, the little brat has got away with hurting someone, he will feel he can get away with anything now.
I used to work on a hospital radio as a tech guy, the main presenter got sacked as he did a baby elephant impression while on air and was seen doing it (you pull out your pockets lining like ears and unzip your fly .. well you get my point) The guy would make for a good troll on DS.

The concrete is weak becauce it was too thin and was poured when the temperature was too low so should break up easily. They will probably be caught and the police will think they killed Luke and are trying to hide the body/evidence.

Weatherfield needs to have a vigilante group who tackle the ketwigs and hoodies, cracking a few heads with baseball bats. The vigilantes don't get caught and disappear when the trouble stops. That will send a message that that sort of behaviour will not be tolerated by the community as the police never appear to be interested.

Just caught up with the weeks Coronation St. A bit of a let down to be honest. No sympathy for Eileen, when Phelan shouted "Come on Eileen" i did want to sing along.
Loved Audrey being a DJ on hospital Radio. Also liking what they are doing with Tracey Luv. She is more than a match for Leanne. I don't think the Eva/Toyah baby situation is going to end well.
I just wish Johnny and Jenny would toddle off to Spain and leave us in peace.
I was really hoping that when Phelan died the storyline would be more or less over (apart from the funeral etc) - now we're going to have weeks of Eileen looking anxious and driving herself mad with guilt. And even if this little twist is buried, the viewers will always know what happened...

I think it was obvious, he hadn't died on Friday night, because otherwise (as everyone initially thought) it would have been such an anti-climax to such a long-running storyline. It's also because, regardless of how justified Eileen may have been....it wouldn't sit too well with her character, if she spent the rest of her time on the street with this on her conscience. It's actually taken on the old-Hitchcock formula now, in that Eileen is going to have to prove her innocence (whilst those around, doubt her) If Pat hadn't have popped up near the end, tonights episodes would have consisted of little more than Tracy's over-used bitch-rants (and ironically she totally forgot that she'd actually been in prison for murder herself......I'm surprised no-one jogged her memory?)
Fair play to the people behind 'Coronation Street' though.....it was a pretty well guarded secret (despite Fridays antics being leaked well in advance)
He died and rose again. At Easter - sounds familiar.

I think we shall see him before too long... I think when Daniel goes looking for Vinny's mum in the care home they will discover that she also had visits from a Mr Frost at the same time Daniel went to see her .. I like to think that the connection to Mr Frost and Eileen's passport being in Mrs Frost's name will help Eileen get off the murder charge ... or am I being too optimistic in the skills of the soap police?? :p

Oh gawd spot on, welcome to a world of waiting months and months Craig to even see a specialist who can then put you on the waiting list some time ish maybe within a year if your lucky.
However well done Corrie, I have OCD and fell out with someone recently who insisted, "oh no, you dont have OCD as you dont obsessively clean."
I tried to explain OCD is all about being trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts, compulsions obsessions, but they wouldnt have it. But the obsessively clean usualy is some one washing their hands till they are raw, because they cant convince themselves they dont have germs on them that will kill people, that germ issue can that roll out to every surface , its bad thoughts then can cripple a person. The fact c4 channelled that to make a cheap TV show showed alot about them as a company than highlighting the issue which they were using for entertainment.
If they wanted to do a story about bereavement they could have focused on Izzy when her sister Katy died. They seemed to be close, ever since they were kids, and it would have given Izzy something decent to do. Apart from that scene where she told Fizz and Beth we haven't really seen her grieving - Katy's death seems to have been a plot device to bring Joseph back.

Yes, and OCD also includes someone having to have everything straight, lined up and in order and in colours , not higgledy piggledy . Cups in a cupboard have to be in order of size and colour, for example. A character in Doc Martin had that particular aspect of OCD . There are many facets to it not just washing one's hands.

Most of the houses in Corrie seem to be much bigger than they look, with lots of unrelated people living together...
In relation to Carla and Ali - Michelle's dad and Johnny are second cousins, making Michelle and Carla third cousins so so Ali wouldn't be that closely related to Carla. And she didn't know him as a child either - it would be weird if she was sleeping with Ryan but Ali is just about acceptable, I think.

Yes, I am so in agreement with you on this subject. It is grammatically incorrect too.
I remember someone saying that when their customers used that incorrect phrase, "Can i get a coffee?" the owner always replied, "No, you're the customer. It isn't self-service, I will get it for you."

Yes it was a weird plot development, it was like in Star Trek a crew member you had never seen before goes on an away mission, you just knew they would be dead come the advert breaks. It devalues the whole David saga and thats a shame as it is ground breaking in soaps what the fella has been thru. But how can you feel sorry for him if all he is doing now is taking out his misery on others, but then thats also what Tyrone did when his wife was bashing him about.

But how can you feel sorry for him if all he is doing now is taking out his misery on others, but then thats also what Tyrone did when his wife was bashing him about.
That's the problem with most soap writing (they can't think beyond the attention-grabbing storylines) and then they either flog it to death over a long period of time....or it quickly disappears (to make room for more 'Headline-seeking-nonsense)

Nothing ever is just black and white though, and she does support Zeedan as much. Love her being non judgemental :thumbsup:
Yes that is true but I would want my gran if I was Zeedan on my side only but it is obvious Zeedan is still madly in love with Rana

I hear you, many years ago broke up with a boyfriend for reasons I could not tell my parents .. they stayed friends with him for a long time afterwards which hurt but they are or were rather entitled to their opinions ..

Kate is becoming too much wanting Rana to end all contact with Zeedan
Is Billy still a vicar, can he not move back in to the house he lived with before Todd, how is Billy with a walking stick going to work in a chippy?

It did occur to me that on Fridays would Billy refuse to sell meat pies, but insist customers order fish?

I believe Billy voluntarily "de-frocked himself", ( if there is such a thing ?):) after he declared to the Bishop he'd lost his calling as a priest. Good thinking Tammy about the chippy job :D , never thought about that, be more food on the floor I guess let alone the dangers of hot fat if he loses his balance.

Did Harriet not voice those concerns but was not de-frocked??? I can imagine that the church would spend a lot of time with somebody doubting their faith but then of course this is soapland where things progress rather faster ...

e.g Wednesday Billy needs a crutch to walk, tonight he's dashing about unaided, not even a sign of a limp. Wish they'd progressed faster with Pat Phelan story :)

Kate is no good for Rana, I am wondering if it was Kate who was the problem and not Caz. I like the new part of the set. Looking good. Simon is such a git. I do feel sorry for Toyah.
We had a little of the traditional Corrie tonight with the argy bargy with Sally and Yasmeen. :clap:

But this is the same place where you can get a doctors appointment within the hour!

Unless you count his wrist? :)
Tonight's episode was bonkers, with Eva giving birth in the bathroom of her cottage and Mary inviting two actors to dinner - that plan is doomed from the start..

When Eva was trying to open the bathroom door, she managed to pull the door handle off the door itself.
I see the length of square metal bar that goes through the door lock and on to both handles to facilitate retracting the door latch, was missing missing completely.
Tut tut, no attention to detail there, no wonder the door wouldn’t open!
