That is two characters that have come back from Uni after being kicked out,and both have had a complete character transplant.First it was Amber now it's Ryan.
You see, that's what happens when the working class go to University. Folk on t'cobbles should know their place and not get above themselves and leave all that higher education stuff to their betters, like Coronation Street producer and writer luvvies.

Ken is another example - went to Uni came back with ideas above his station - wouldnt even let his poor Dad have the sauce bottle on the tea table!!!

Dev needs to grow a pair and kick Sunita and her airbags out on rear of the year

The thing about unis in soaps is that they're always used to write out teens when they want to leave for a bit, rather than anyone actually wanting to go to uni. Remember when Todd was going to go to uni, but then decided to stay with Sarah? For some reason that meant not only not going to Oxford, but not going to any other uni or doing any a-levels at all! There's a perfectly good uni in Manchester, maybe a character could go there and live at home? That would save them money and also mean we could see what they get up to.
Sunita seemed glad that her affair with Karl is now out in the open,that has gave her the perfect excuse to tell Dev she dosen't want to marry him.Dev should be grateful that he's found out now and not when it's too late.

In my opinion Dev needs to take those children away from Sunita. She cares more about that jerk Karl than her own children. All those times she was off having her jollies Dev was quite OK taking care of the kids on his own. You put your kids first or you don't deserve to be their Mother.

apart from the time he forgot to collect them from school? and Karl reminded him....
and yesterday when Sunita was in the pub and Dev was playing golf the kids were where...?
kids in soap are the easily forgotten comodity and get placed in 'soap nursery' whenever their welfare interferes with a story

What complete overacting by St Ella tonight. Good to see slimy Karl getting caught though.I have this sinking feeling that Stella is going to be the cougar for Ryan. Signs seem to be pointing that way after the leering remarks about the waiter in the
scene with the "girls" on the town. After all they have Stella in every storyline no matter what. Ryan is just stupid so why not?

But did Dev cheat on Sunita with those other shop women I dont think so myself but could be wrong
I do feel sorry for Dev here Sunita is being a selfish heartless b*tch he should kick her out and go for full custody of the kids
No wonder Sunita cheated on Dev because he has been taking her for granted far too long.

I do feel sorry for Dev here Sunita is being a selfish heartless b*tch he should kick her out and go for full custody of the kids Sunita and Karl are doomed to crash and burn, it's just a matter of time. He's only there because everyone else kicked him out. Right now I think Dev is hurting too much to do anything but it won't be long before he gets mad and then maybe he'll do something. I don't know the history behind these characters so I can only judge by what's been going on for the past few months. When the kids come into the picture again I can't imagine that they will be very accepting of Karl. If he couldn't be faithful to Stella who he professes to "love", just how long will it be before he starts deceiving Sunita?

The only saving grace in the awful Michelle and Ryan storyline is the addition of gormless Steve he is funny imo
I liked the scene with Julie and Izzy so sweet and sad
Were Ryan and David always good friends?
why, when anyone in the Rovers asks for a pint - lager, pint, bitter - do they get served from the real ale hand pumps...?
these are surely reserved for real ales, no gas attached - and that sure aint lager!!!

Now that they've done the alchoholic storyline with Peter it is a bit too predictable that they're now doing the drug addict storyline with Ryan.
And Michelle was a bit too quick to call the cops on Ryan,without taking the time first to think things through,especially when she hasn't got any proof.This might be a decision she is going to regret.

And it didn't take long before Kirsty got violent again,but at least it shows people it's not just woman who are victims of domestic violence.
The sooner she gets help the better,for Ty's sake anyway.

As I think the actress pointed out in an interview, Beth gets compared to Cilla a lot but she's a lot nicer than her. She might be mouthy and insensitive, but she isn't malicious and wouldn't see someone she considers a friend out on the street. Thought Ken saying Tracey couldn't go back to stay with them was pefectly in character for him, sticking to his guns, but I'm wondering what Deirdre is going to have to say!
Mary realised Roy's heart is with Hayley hope they stay friends though

Ken refusing to take Trcey in, but it was ok for Amy to stay was ****ty - I hope now she became seriously ill (and we know she will recover so I can say that) - sanctimonious 'I've never done a thing wrong' Ken will feel some guilt at how he acted.
Him and Dreay cant keep their underwear on around other people, so who are they to criticise Tracey?
She is a cow -but she loves and puts Amy first (or close to) doesnt sleep around, and sadly solved her domestic violence problem a little too enthusiastically......

Tracey did seem to be suffering from the world's least painful kidney infection until she collapsed. I've had problems with my bladder for years and wish I just got to wander around going 'oooh it hurts a bit' for a few days, considering that's only supposed to be the first stage on the way to a kidney infection. And when you think she's supposed to have lived with kidney problems for 17 years you'd think she would pick up on the fact there was something wrong!

I believe because of the short time she has been at the factory, Rob doesnt have to pay her during her maternity time, nor does he have to keep her job open for her to return afterwards.
he could hold the post for her, but the time off would be unpaid

Speak for yourself! I stopped watching EE recently because it was so dire - storylines and acting- so I wouldn't call myself, as a Corrie fan, easily pleased. EE has the odd very good episode, but I can't sit through hours of dross for the occasional high point. Corrie is far more even in tone and quality, even if it does have the occasional low point.

before i respond to you, i stress i am a corrie fan, so i like to think iam not biased. i think you are being far too kind to corrie, it has not been high in quality and tone for quite a while. what has happened to the nations favourite continuing drama. the peter/leanne/carla saga was excellent, but since then the show has gone on a downward spiral.
there are some very good actors in the show and some dire ones. the gulf between the two is very wide and unfortunately it shows. iam not going to be unkind and name and shame, we all know who falls into which catergory.
the comedy in corrie 9/10 is forced over the top and borders on end of the pier/panto. infact eastenders is better at comedy than corrie. before corrie fans get outraged, (well tutt), i am saying this as a corrie fan more than an eastenders fan. i say this for the good of the show.
eastenders has had a good week, will this continue, i doubt it. corrie need to stop looking at what their southern rivals are doing and concentrate on being corrie and not a wanabee eastenders! it needs to go back to basics.
EE resorts to wheeling back old characters every time the show starts to falter. What show apart from Dallas would bring someone back from the dead in a tottally improbable storyline. Kat and Alfie back yet again and Sharon Whatsernamenow bcd in order to pump some life into an ailing show. I stopped watching it on a regular basis a long time ago. I have stopped believing the hype and all the false promises. I dip in occasionally and its still appalling.

I am a Corrie fan too and know what you mean. There have been some silly storylines recently but I keep watching, hoping it picks up. Mary, Roy and Hayley's story saved it for me this week. That's the kind of story that Corrie does well.
Eastenders has been brilliant with Ben's story this week. Not so much to do with Sharon's return IMO, but for Shirley. Amazing acting!

dont you mean appealing :)
i do agree we dont need sharon back, a mistake. youd have thought eastenders would have learnt from corries mistakes like bringing julie goodyear back. that must rank as one of the biggest mistakes in soap history, apart from dirty den.

The best thing last night for me was Hayley, Roy and Mary. I loved the way Hayley stopped Mary leaving. It was so mature of her accepting Mary as a friend of Roy's.
Don't like the idea of the surrogacy story at all! And why does there always have to be arguments at church services? It was a day for Joseph.
The surrogacy storyline is a way to involve Dr. Carter in a storyline

who? :)
Eastenders promotes gloom doom and misery - to the exception of almost everything else, except immorality, and couldn't do comedy to save it's life. One of the reasons that Corrie is generally a much better watch than Eastenders is that they employ good character actors, rather than people who are just good at playing themselves, and many of those actors have fine comedic talents (eg those who play Roy, Hayley, Mary, Norris, Steve McDonald etc etc). Very occasionally you get someone in Eastenders who can do comedy (like the girl who plays Kim), but since the writers think slapstick is the only form of comedy, laughs for the viewer occur about once every 2 years - if we're lucky. Eastenders is on a mission to swiftly eliminate the feelgood factor in the UK that the Olympics built up so successfully!
I didn't think Izzy would have been into Katy being a surrogate,not after what she went through with her own baby and she's only 17.

imo i think you are way off the mark. i watch both ee and cs in equal measure and have watched ee since it began in feb 85. i have never bought into the myth that ee is all doom and gloom. this is usually said by viewers who i describe as 'dippers' who watch from time to time, mainly corrie viewers killing half an hour before the 8:30pm showing!
ee has a good mix of characters who provide lighter moments, such as denise, kim, zaniab, patrick. alfie, cora and dot, i could go on. the humour in ee is different to the humour in corrie.
if anything the humour in corrie is more slapstick, end of the pier/panto ish. that isnt a critiscism, because it works well for that type of continuing drama and for its audience. i do however think the writing in corrie is a little lazy. mary is a great addition to the street.
with reference to destroying the feel good factor and the olympics, you will find it will have nothing to do with walford and e20, but more to do with the government and those blessed mps.
if you want a continuing drama that provides the perfect balance of dark and light then you have the archers on radio 4 and emmerdale on itv1. :)

When EE does comedy its usually unintentional. We have had the infamous cardboard funfair, dirty den getting shot by a bunch of flowers, the ressuerection of Den, Kidneygate, Walford United, bigger villains than the Krays and of course the daft PC scripts dreamt up in some wine bar at lunchtime by the luvvies over a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc courtesy of the Telly Tax

I liked when Dev accused Karl of stealing from his kids.It was more or less predictable that the smoke detectors Karl bought would turn out to be dodgy.

Maybe Tina should leave Tommy since he's acting like such a Neanderthal. I don't know a lot about the surrogacy process but I don't think you are supposed to be in it for the money. I would also think that someone would say that Gary and Izzy shouldn't be making that kind of decision so soon after losing a baby. People in an emotional state shouldn't make life changing decisions.

I agree and Owen was dead against Katy doing it but is fine having Tina do it to pay off debts
I am surprised Anna didnt offer or can she not have anymore kids she only had one Gary was it ever mentioned if she could conceive again?

But then Tommy has often behaved like a loose cannon, the mess they are in now is proof of that.
Tina would be too old to have Tommy Woodentop's baby by the time they cleared his debts, and could afford to have one of their own, so she might as well have someone else's! I think he gave up his "rights" to make demands of Tina when he endangered her life and destroyed her financial wellbeing by throwing his lot in with the bloke who drove her dad to his death!

I must say I'm enjoying Gloria's scenes. I admit she's being pushed to the forefront a bit much, but all the recent new characters have been. At least Sue Johnston can hold her own in the acting stakes, unlike some, and I think she could be as entertaining as Blanche and Sylvia given witty writing.

I agree but Im not so sure they are going about it in the right way. They need to make her a character of her own and not an amalgam of Blanche, Mary, Vera, and Sylvia.

It seemed to me she was going to read the slips and take out the bad ones. It's silly that the box came with a key so that cheating can take place.

Have I missed something, when did Steve MacDonald say he was going to Spain and why?
I hope he picks up some acting skills whilst there and stops pulling those stupid faces and "no one at home" look he puts on.
How much bad acting were in the scenes with Kristy, Tyrone and her family, I thought Kristy's dad was going to knock her out instead of Tyrone at one part
The scenes with Michelle and Tracey were also awful

It didn't come with a key. Eva and Gloria had to force the box open with a handily placed screwdriver.
