I think the Mike story is being really well handled, both by the scriptwriters and by Johnny Briggs. After watching some of the tosh on Eastenders it's good to be able to see a touching storyline so well written and performed.
i agree i love the way ithas been slowkly built up. so much more realistic!

Couldn't agree more. It is fantastic, if at times hard stuff to watch. Corrie & Johnny are handling it so well atm. If EE in its current state had handled this alzheimers storyline, the character would have been diagnosed and dead within 2 weeks. :rolleyes:
The Mike storyline and the Craig/Rosie storyline are the real strong points in Corrie right now, in spite of a few dull storylines like Mr Duckworth in the nude. :eek: :thumbsdow

Err, the UK's current number 1 soap perhaps?
Anyway, another solid episode last night.
Danny & Leanne were great as ever, as was Mike. That opening scene with Mike and Adam was very powerful, shame Sam Robertson can't act for toffee.
Craig and Rosie stuff was good again, as were the Websters as usual.
Jack stuff was a bit tosh but hopefully that's coming to an end soon.
Nice scenes with Sean & Eileen as well.
7.5

Loved last night's episode. Rosie and Craig scenes were good and so was Mike's scene. I love the way that Mike's storyline is being handled and great acting from Johnny Briggs once again. The Eileen and Jason scenes were also good. Didn't like Jack posing nude story though. 8/10 :)
i loved last nights episode. Coronation street is so the best soap at the minuite especially over the christmas period. How rude was david if he was my kid hed have got a slap.

Must agree with you there. Coronation Street is the best soap at the minute but Eastenders is still my favourite :) I can't wait for David/Phil/Gail story to develop further. Phil looks evil :angry:

Tonight's first episode was very boring, but the second was a lot better.
His attitude sucks, although I dont think Gail helps matters by pandering to his every wim. Think she may realise thats not the way to go after tonight though. Could be quite a good storyline brewing with David/Gail and Phil (I dont think he's all he seams either)
Yea David was cute when he was younger, now I just want to slap him
lol dont you like him or you just disagree with what he did to david? he was in auf weidersehen pet wasnt he?
He shouldnt have pushed ratboy up againt the wall though :nono:

Wow! nearly everybody seems to think David got what he deserved tonight. He was behaving badly, but it's certainly not up to Phil to take charge of the situation. I definetely got the impression that Phil's childhood has had an effect on him, he was talking to Gail about his mother hurting him (or something like that). When he was on the brink of hitting David, I think he got a vision of what had happened to him as a child, and that's when he stopped, and realised what he was doing. He owes David an apology, and he should have been honest with Gail about what happened. The fact that he deceived her makes me think he's not a nice guy.
Phil can't expect to get any respect from David, if he treats him in that way. Gail needs to tell David how much she loves him, but also that she isn't going to pay for the mistakes she made with Richard anymore. Both of them need to trust each other. The way David's been behaving, it was difficult to tell if he was telling the truth about Phil or not but she went on about not putting her children second and then did exactly what she'd sworn she would never do, put her boyfriend ahead of her son.
david got what he deserved he needs to grow up and stop behaving like a spoilt Brat.
i dont think he desrved what he got though
Chris_2k11
10-01-2006, 14:55
How can anyone say that David deserved that! A good telling off would have been alright yeah, but shoved up against a wall like that! No way! Phil was completely out of order :nono: He's only been a part of the family for like 5 minutes... if that! He had no right to do what he did, and then lie about it! :mad: Nasty man!

Thankyou! I'm not a parent, but I know that my mum would never put me in the position that Gail put David. Gail says that her children come first to her, but when she's given the option of who she trusts, she goes for Phil, who as you say has been going out with Gail for 5 minutes.
David has been behaving like a spoilt brat, but that's Gail's problem not Phil's. He has no right to get involved. He isn't responsible for him.
Phil's character seems to be staying in it a lot longer than first anticipated. I heard a rumour before Christmas that he was to leave on boxing day, they've either extended his contract, or it was a false rumour. I wonder how long he is staying?
This does seem to be shaping up to be a good storyline. I wouldn't say Phil was a nasty man yet, because we haven't really seen him assault anyone, but it does seem like we are set to see his true colours. Either that or it was a one off, but if that was the case, he would have apologised to David and Gail, instead he kept it secret. That does seem mysterious to me.
I have a daughter from a previous relationship and my boyfriend will tell me if she is been a spoilt brat or misbehaving. he would not threaten her like that and if he did I would have serious words to say to him on the matter.

Another couple of wonderful episodes from the UK's Official Number 1 Soap, penned together very well by Chris Fewtrell and John Fay respectively.
The Websters stuff was excellent. Sally is being a bit OTT with her reactions, but it's obviously better to have more than one type of contraception. What if the 'johnny' splits? etc. Good acting from both Helen Flanagan and Sally Whittaker, and I thought Helen's crying was fairly good, not great but good. Loved Gail's smug look when she realised why Sal had forced Rosie to go to the Medical Centre.
Scenes with Craig, together with Audrey and Keith were also really good. Some very good stuff in that short scene.
Baldwin stuff simmering along nicely, good stuff with Leanne and Danny. It's clear he feels guilty about what he's doing to Mike but wants to go through with it, albeit in his own way rather than Leanne's.
Jack and Vera stuff surprisingly I enjoyed. Blanche a legend as always.
Sunita stuff was OK, a bit boring though. Same with factory girls scenes.
1st ep: 7/10
2nd ep: 8.5/10

Yes great episode. Sally is out of order in what she's doing, and the doctor was very sensible and true in his opinion of her. Rosie might be underage but she has the right to say what is going to happen to her own body, especially if it is going to harm her. I've never taken the morning after pill, do think Corrie was scaremongering, when they were talking about the side effects? because I really didn't think it was that bad.
Rosie didn't promise she wouldn't see Craig, and the fact that Sally is now saying she can't trust her may be true, but she never said she was to be trusted. So you can't go back shouting the odds when she hasn't broken any promises can she?
Also, something that was overshadowed by the Sally/Rosie/Craig fiasco was the scene with Sunita and her brother Janesh, I thought it was absolutely disgusting. I was horrified at the way he spoke to her. Maybe she should give Dev another chance but that's her choice, and for her own brother to expect her to be ashamed for something Dev's done is totally wrong.
What has it got to do with her family? she's a grown up? if they feel ashamed by it, it's there problem not hers? And the fact that she needs to associate herself with people like that, makes my skin crawl.
I think the moral of tonight's episode was that everybody is an individual and you can't expect somebody to turn out the way you want, just because you think the sacrifices you've made should be recognised. Like Sally thinking because she's worked to send Rosie to posh school, she should do what she's told. And Sunita's family thinking they own her because she belongs to them.

Where do I start?
Sally did take it too far!! But you never know that Rosie might not have had safe sex. She was shouting it in the streets and she told Rosie to be quieter in the clinic about it. with craig standing on the road.
Craig grandad need to be stronger
The doctor was right and was very sensible and true in his opinion of her. Rosie might be underage but she has the right to say what is going to happen to her own body, especially if it is going to harm her. I've never taken the morning after pill; do think Corrie was scaremongering, when they were talking about the side effects? He was seeing Rosie and not sally.
I was laughing with the fake crying from Rosie at the end.
The painting part was funny- jack trying to keep vera away from his drawing and when she put the drawing over jack head and the lady like are you going to pay for that- vera was like he will for the rest of his life.
Mike and frankie was funny telling Jamie to ask violet out- violet was thinking what going on here!!
Did rosie even want to go to posh school??
just a quick question do craig and rosie go to the same school.?

17-01-2006, 11:33
I did feel sorry for Rosie in last nights episode but thought they were silly to risk getting caught by Sally or Kevin.
I wasn't keen on the painting storyline at first but last night was very funny. Norris and Blanche were especially funny, and I love Vera's reaction when she found out the truth. :rotfl:
I feel sorry for Mike and although Danny does have a twinge of guilt, I have no sympathy for him and hope he gets what he deserves.
Am I the only one who thinks Violet and Jamie would make a great couple?

I think the writing and the acting in the Mike Baldwin Alzheimers storyline is fantastic and anyone who has friends or relatives suffering from this terrible illness can surely relate to it. Well done to the writers for tackiling such a difficult subject which such sensitivity :clap:

It was an alright episode, nothing brilliant. Dev was totally out of order going to register the birth without her consent. I can't believe a registrar would let him do that. Surely the mother has some input into the proceedings? I suppose being her husband he's allowed to do it. Was it me or did you think the registrar was being really arrogant? It was almost as if she was condeming Sunita for being there. I felt like screaming, she's the mother! Maybe the registrar had just been fired or something! lol. (and was looking at somebody to take it out on).
The doctor that saw Craig and Rosie wasn't very nice, talk about the 3rd degree. There are doctors like that though, so I suppose it's realistic. I thought it was his job to talk through the pros and cons of having the pill etc., not to give them a lecture. They should have gone to the family planning clinic, I don't think they are as judgemental.
littlemo
22-01-2006, 20:49
It was quite a good episode tonight. I liked that Sunita allowed Dev to hold his babies, that was very sweet. It's a shame he won't get a chance to be a proper dad to them. Also the whole Violet thing was good. I'm glad that Jason is jealous, he was an idiot for letting her go. I doubt Violet and Jamie will last though, if Jason is Violet's type, Jamie and Jason are like chalk and cheese.
Jason has a hot temper, likes to throw his weight around, and Jamie is very placid, laid back and calm. I bet it got Jason even more riled up knowing that Jamie wouldn't fight back. Oh and Sarah is so immature. You'd think after all she'd been through, she'd be a bit more sensible, but she hasn't learn't at all.

Get rid of Sarah Platt. Please, she's the most annoying thing in Corrie! She's been there too long, had too many storylines and now the only storylines she can have are where she's a total slapper. Oh wait... maybe she could get pregnant ... oh wait I think that's already been done ... twice.
Dev and Sunita are so sweet - it's a shame they have to bring this stupid Dev/6 billion kids cos they would have made such a sweet family!

Do you think Danny will continue with this scam to rip Mike off? Leanne seems to be all for it, but Danny seems to be having second thoughts. I'm glad they are showing him to have some conscience. To rip off your own dad, when he's ill, is pretty much the worst thing you can do. He should be there helping him through it.
If Danny had told Mike he was being ridiculous, when he suspected Penny and Adam to be having an affair, he soon would have realised it wasn't true. But instead he saw it as an opportunity for him to gain, it's just sick! I suppose Mike hasn't been a saint either, but I don't think he would do that to a member of his family.

It was a good ending, though it would have been better if Sarah had fallen out the window, so we Tina O'Brien's acting is finally put to bed. :rolleyes:
I was actually surprised at the quality of the two episodes tonight, as when I saw the synopsis and read about Jason/Sarah-Lou/Violet & the factory girls taking up a fair amount of the episode, I didn't expect much. However the two episodes were both very well written, and I think that carried the show tonight to a great extent.
Loving the David/Phil stand-off. Ouch, that car boot incident must have been painful for Phil. That will put his foot-fiddling activities out of action for a while. :o
Really enjoying the stuff with Eileen/Emily/'Ed' (3 E's!). Good stuff in the Rovers scenes with Norris and Rita as well.
Sarah/Jason/Violet scenes quite good, better than expected. Also enjoyed the scenes with Violet/Sean. They make a fantastic friendship.
Roy and Hayley scenes were also good. I wonder what Roy's thinking. :hmm:
Scenes in the factory were dull. I wish the fat twin would go now, and take the thin one with her. Even better could they form a human chain and drag 'Legs' with them. :rolleyes:
7/10 for first episode;
7.5/10 for second episode.
Lmao! That was such a fab ending in the Platts' house! :rotfl: :rotfl:Absolutely. David getting a slap was a bonus :rotfl:
What is it with that slime-ball Jason :sick: Does he think he is God's gift. I think he looks more like a scalped :moonie:

Haha! That episode was absolute class!
Sarah-Lou is normally one of my favourite characters but since they turned her into a trollop i've preferred Violet, though I thought Jason was reallty horrible in tonights to Sarah. I'm suprised Violet could resist his puppy dog eyeswhen he was asking her to get back with him until he mentioned going back to his house, then I was thinking "******!"
The David/Phil/Gail stuff is good and Eileen and that new guy seem suited to eac hother but I'm sure he must have a dark side, I don't believe he's reformed like he says he is.

i like the way david is playing with both gail and phil hes all nicey nicey in sight of mummy but when no ones looking phil better watch his back.
but the best part of the episode was the arguement with sarah and jason i loved it when jason says "no wonder our todd turned to guys if he had to put up all this hassle with you" :rotfl:

i used to like her but ever since she started walking around like she was it and the world should bow at her feet totally went off her but tina o brian is a very good actress
Jason and sarah deserve each other,theyre both selfish , Violets to good for Jason.
Liked the ending of the second eppi, it was a bit unexpected tho!

Can Phil just run David over and have done with it, that is one boring storyline but can see PHil being given the boot by Gail. Since David is playing on her, 'i wont let any man come between us again' speech.
Loving the Jason/Sarah fight, Jason was right to give her what for any sane woman would've waited till he got home and not bunnie boiled him to death.

how pathetic is sarah and Jason. Kissing in the middle of the Rovers. Al i can say is what on earth was Sally wearing. She looked dreadful. IOt was so funny when she found Rosies pill. Serve her right for snooping. Amber was hilarious yet again.

She used to be given some really good storylines, but now all she does is walk around whining all the time :thumbsdow Oh, and Kevin completely over-reacted tonight when he threw Craig onto the garden! I thought Sally was bad enough dragging Rosie off to the doctors last week, and now this :rolleyes: Craig & Rosie are more mature than Sally & Kevin put together!
LOL! I think they are more mature! Its not likethey are 13, and they are in a long term relationship - at least they are taking precautions!

tonights episode was quite boring. although i must admit i wasnt really paying to much attention. so i think i will read the episode guide lol
Who's Amber?
I dont watch regularly so dont know her - is she one of the twins??

Who's Amber?

Amber is Dev's daughter from before he met Sunita. :D
Jason really is a prat. First he proposes to Violet and then kisses her in the Rovers in full view of Violet. :angry:
Does Sarah not have any self-respect? Jason treated her like dirt, and insulted her over her relationship with Todd. But she forgives him at the drop of a hat. :rolleyes:
I like amber, she can be a bit too much like but arent all teenagers, i hope to see her relashionship build with dev, it would be nice. Sarah and Jason are boring me!
Amber is ok but she is really gobby.that was a bit stupid of Sarah and Jason kissing in the pub when violet walked in.

lol. I still think sarah should be with Jason, even if he is as wooden as a forest. Im loving keith and his paperround. Amber is a really good character shes underused.
What happend to Sarah tho? Since she started goign out with Jason she has turned into a right nutter - she was quite nice when going out with Todd n Scooter

Agreed about Tina O'Brien, a fantastic actress.
I guess she needs some milder storylines after all she has been through so far... :eek:
Richie_lecturer
27-01-2006, 14:30
I don't think she's much of an actreess. She's not awful, but I find her rather limited. Other than dramatic stuff, I don't feel she has a good range. It's a fact that the character of Sarah-Lou was recast during her teens to have a more 'sexier' actor playing her. :rolleyes:
She's much better than the likes of Dev though, hands down.
I think Tina o brien is a good actress but she always seems to try to hard theres no different levels of her acting if you know what i mean. I dont think it helps that her Character is a complete plank.

Her character is a bit annoying but I think she's got worse since breaking up with Todd. She seemed a lot nicer when she was with him. It was probably his personality rubbing off on her. Now I just can't stand her.
Tina O Brien is a good actress, she was great through the whole pregnancy thing, and has had a lot of good storylines. But lately I do agree they have been very limited.
Tina o brien is a good actress but I think the writers should let her show more different emotions

David can be rude- it like he always drunk. Maybe he is- but I am glad that he will not stand for Phil (I think that his name) Gail Boyfriend (just started to watch corrie so I am abit slow). But that is what going to happen if you are going to go around beating people up
When I saw Craig and Rosie out the back I was wondering why they had their uniform on a sunday- as the were wearing their school coats- anyway. So glad that Craig talk some sence into rosie to go on the school trip- don’t need to see her for a little while. Also who goes on a school trip on a Sunday.
i find David annoying at times and sometimes he goes to far.thought it was weird when Rosie and Craig where in there uniform on a sunday

OK episode. Enjoyed the Fred/Orchid stuff, but that was it. At least Sunita leaves on Friday so this yawnfest with Dev has almost run its course.

6/10 for both episodes.

OK episode. Enjoyed the Fred/Orchid stuff, but that was it. At least Sunita leaves on Friday so this yawnfest with Dev has almost run its course.
Yes this stuff with Sunita is a bit repetitive. How many times can we hear her cry about her allowing Dev to look after the twins? He's their dad. Fair enough she can't forgive him for what he's done to her, but their babies have just been born, give him a chance. He hasn't screwed them up yet. If he went to court, he'd get some visitation rights.
I cannot believe Sunita is going back to her parents. After all the stuff they have said and done to her in the past. Maybe that's how muslim families behave, I don't know, but it seems completely unecessairy. Sunita should stand up for herself, and not live her life, and her babies lives through their parents. When she ran out on her arranged marriage, I assume she did it because she didn't love him obviously, but also because she wanted to live her own life. Now she's going back to her family, who are going to tell her that they told her so, and that will have her singing along to their tune once again.
I've never been in that situation but as far as I can see, the only offer Sunita should accept is the one of Shelley's. She should stay in the street, and bring up her babies in the way that she feels is appropriate, and allow Dev access.

Sunita and Dev are not Muslims :) :rolleyes:
They are Hindus :)
I cant believe the way violet spoke to her,its none of her buisness,shes just jelous as she wants the singles club to stay in tact..

I am not saying what dev did was right i seriously dont like men who dont take responsibilities or care of there children but sunita is going ott she going on like dev is posion. I genuinely think dev wants to be a family if he is given the chance to prove himself but i think sunita is being cruel just taking kids like that to be quite honest legally she just cant take them dev has rights. :hmm:

Violet started ranting when she heard Sunita was planning on going back to Dev. Violet tried to get her to change her mind. But Sunita said they had made promises to one another in front of their families when they got married and Violet said ‘so what!’ then she started going on about how she was also rejected by her family because of who she chose to be with. Then she started shouting at Dev in the pub.

I think you have to be able to trust your husband. Probably a lot of women would have been able to, eventually, but people are different. Not everybody can forgive. It's a shame though, especially for the twins.
i cant believe Tyrone and Maria have split up. It was so sad when he got his hopes up when he thought she was pregnant.
DO you think they would have stayed together? they wernt very well matched and i could imagine Maria cheating again

it was quite sad to see them split up because i remember when they first started going out years ago and everything that has happened they ended up back together tyrone is so sweet ok hes no hunk and i think you are right maria prob would have cheated again. so maybe tyrone is better off

I think Tyrone did the right thing in breaking up with her. It was clear they didn't want the same things. I get the feeling Maria wants to be young free and single, and I don't understand why she feels she needs to compromise for Tyrone. It wasn't benefiting either of them. I think she would have had an affair eventually, Tyrone isn't what she wants.
The funniest part of todays episode was when Eileen went into the kitchen in the middle of the film and screamed :rotfl: bless her!

08-02-2006, 20:08
Charlie is mad! he's a control freak and completely out of his mind. Tracey's crazy for staying with him, especially with her daughter. I only saw the last 5 minutes of Corrie tonight, but it seems as if Amy doesn't feature in Charlie's life at all. I certainly wouldn't like it if I were Steve.
Tracey thinks she can't be manipulated, but he is doing it to her all the time, just like Shelley. He's not going to change his ways. If he doesn't want to be a family now, he'll never want to be one, or he'll accept Amy in his life, and put up with her for Tracey's sake, which isn't a nice situation, for anybody concerned.
She knows what happened to Shelley, she's totally naive! and if her daughter gets hurt because she wants to prove a point, the only person she'll have to blame is herself.

It's not meant to be primarily about Stacey. This storyline regarding her return is just the catalyst to Rita's spiral into depression. I think it's been handled really well so far, though I'm glad they are moving on from 'Orchid's' involvement in it.
Another very good episode. Barbara Knox was great portraying a frightened Rita, however I felt there was something missing that could have made it great. Still the stuff with her and Fred was good. :)
Enjoyed the Girls' post-night out talk in the Rovers. Some good stuff there. :)
Charlie and Tracy stuff was a bit dull, not helped by the dreadful acting of the 'usual suspect'. :thumbsdow

What a great episode last night. Drama mixed with humour in just the right amount. Great to see Eileen and Ed slowly starting to become an item. Well done to the scriptwriters for the Rita story. How refreshingly realistic. As for Tyrone and Molly, all I want to know is what happened to the poor ducks that were in the lake. A really enjoyable episode. 8.5 / 10
If it were me and that van was on fire i would have just got out of the thing very quickly in case it exploded,didnt they have gas cylinders and that on it?

The Molly/Tyrone stuff was OK but why didn't Tyrone (or Molly) check the wing mirrors to see flames. Also why didn't they get out the van when they saw it on fire and called 999? A bit daft, which spoiled what was otherwise a very good episode.
7/10

aah does that stupid looking burger van go on fire to be honest its really no great loss i can hardly see roy worrying about his customers going there instead. ive got to admit for a guy who was madly in love with maria he is hiding his grief very well

Corrie was really good last night. I honestly thought that Phil was going to shut the cupboard door on David! The Molly/Tyrone/burger van stuff was good. I really like Molly. She's a good character and it was hilarious when Tyrone and Molly crashed the burger van in the lake, i just don't get how they didn't realise the van was on fire. The book group stuff was good and it seems like Ed and Eileen are about to become an item. 10/10 :)

Tonight's two double episodes were great :) I loved the Ed and Emily scenes, they were wonderfully acted and i can understand how Emily reacted but it seems that Ed is a changed man. Dev has another daughter...how many more are going to arrive :rolleyes: and Charlie got a piece of his own medicine looking after Amy :D I also felt sorry for Eileen as she doesn't know why Ed is ignoring her and she is just finding love again :( 10/10 :)

Yes and when she suggested they go on Trisha! lol. She's a comedian.
I used to like Ronnie but the way she made fun of Shelley with Tracey was awful! Especially since she had an abusive husband herself. But the joke is on Tracey, she's a fool thinking she can't be controlled. Maybe that's what the writers are trying to show, that even the strongest of women can be manipulated. I could see that scene in the pub coming. Tracey's mad messing with Charlie's head. If she wants to mess with him that's on her head, but she shouldn't bring Amy into it. What mother leaves their daughter with a man who has a violent temper?!
I'm not sure about this Ed situation. I think him and Eileen make a nice couple but I think Corrie are over doing this god squad thing a bit too much. He came away from Emily, and started writing a letter in the cafe while he was crying. He seems more catholic than christian, saying he needs to be forgiven and repent his sins. It seems too over the top. I just don't think people can have that much of an epiphany. It's like he's going too much the other way.
last nights two episodes where good.i laughed when Amber was going on to Dev about the women in his life and when she sugested they go on Trisha.although Emily is angry she should forgive Ed because quite clearly he's a changed man and he is sorry about what happned. Tracey deserved that

Last night episode was great, Amber is a great character. Finally Charlie stuck it to Tracey i was so happy. Why was Steve's girlfriend Ronnie being friendly with Tracey and both were mocking and laughing at Shelley but at least Shelley got the last laugh when Tracey got dumped.

Absolutely wonderful. Brilliant episode tonight, one of the best this year so far, and a great follow up to Monday's marvellous output.
Eileeen Derbyshire absolutely shone once again. The stuff with her, Eileen, Deirdre and Norris, with a picture of Ernest in the background was pure gold. :clap:
The card business was also developing nicely, both with the Platts and the Peacocks.
The stuff with Roy and Hayley and creepy Clifford was a bit better tonight, with Hayley taking a stand. Much more watchable.
The only dampener to the episode came from Charlie/Tracy, but not enough to spoil things.
8-8.5
/ 10
creepy clifford really does give me the creeps. I thought Emily was so good tonight. It was great to see the rita emily and deirdre friendship.
I loved it when she just muttered to herself
Easter eggs ernest.
It was so sweet.

I didn't get the bit about the easter eggs? :confused:
Norris was fretting about the shop as he didnt want to order the easter eggs on his own. I dont know whether it was meant to be a special meaning or anything she was just telling Ernest what was going on. I didnt really get it i just thought it was sweet.

I felt very sorry for Emily, but I hope Eileen forgives Ed. He seems o.k. (now), although I don't like the way he has turned into a devout christian from being an armed robber, it seems a bit false. You don't have to believe in god to abide by the law.
I think he should try being himself, rather than thinking he has to abide the bible. Abiding the law goes without saying, but I think commiting yourself to the bible is running before he can walk.

Loved last night's episode. I loved everything about it. The Tracy/Charlie was good. The Hayley/Clifford/Roy was ok. Emily's performance was outstanding. It's nice to see Deirdre, Rita and Norris are looking out for her. Gail's valentine card was good. I hope this storyline carries on but i haven't heard anymore about this but it's a good storyline. 10/10 :)

It was quite a quiet episode tonight. I can't believe Tracey can be so stupid! Charlie doesn't love her. Or if he does he loves her in the cruel calculated manipulating way that he loved Shelley. You go out with somebody who has a child, you expect them to come as a package, and the fact that he won't accept Amy into the fold proves that Tracy should run away as fast as she can. The woman has lost her mind! I would have thought Deirdre would have called her on the fact that Charlie doesn't want Amy to move in with them. Surely she knows that Charlie is behind wanting to get rid of Amy?!
I think Ed is very lucky to have somebody like Eileen in his life. Who is so understanding and clearly cares about him very much. I'm glad that she isn't letting what's happened in the past jeopardise what they have. It's obviously devestating for Emily but for Eileen she wasn't involved, it's something that had nothing to do with her. And if she can live with the truth and can trust him, then she should be with him.

Good episode last night. I am glad that Eileen forgives Ed and is willing to give him another chance but Tracey is being a fool though. 8/10 :)
Tracey is being a fool though. 8/10 :)Nothing new there then. Hope she suffers big style

She's a soap bitch, but I do feel a bit sorry for her. She's stupid to think that she can tame Charlie, it's an impossible task. He has been manipulating her all the way, and she just can't see it. Making her choose between him and her daughter should have given her some clue, but clearly she's thick!
Shelley's the one with the upper hand, because she managed to escape his clutches, Tracey just doesn't know it. If Shelley was as bad as Tracey she could be standing back having a good old laugh at her now, but she isn't because she's a nice decent woman.

I know that storyline with emily is boring.
whats goin on with david does he know that jo was sellin weed or not and how come he phoned her up from the phone box, he must know something
The storyline with Emily and Ed is fantastic. It shows the difference between Corrie and EE --- CONSISTENCY

How harsh was Emily tonight?! I know Ed killed her husband and everything but was there any need to speak to Eileen in that way?! It's not her fault. If she wants to give him another chance that's her business. I am glad that they've got back together, they seem good for one another.
It's nice that Fred and Bev have got engaged. They are good for one another as well.
