Nice to see old Eileen back too, loved her line to Jason about seeing him with Gloria in her dressing gown for breakfast :p
tim could have at least gone off and stayed with a mate instead of hiding in his flat from sally

i know from time to time corrie can verge on the farcical. if corrie was to be compared to one of our great pantomimes, i suppose i see steve as jack from 'jack and the bean stalk.' i mean he must have magic beans, where else would he find the dosh to buy the tardis. it could only happen in corrie world.:D

Definitely not. Him leaving was the highlight of the episode, and that included the bit towards the end where Kylie was thinking that she'd been rumbled.
Loved Steve's 'he's trying to sell me a cab' excuse.

Christian looks like Tim
what scuffy, unwashed and unable to shave himself?
I like Deirdre, but she got on my nerves a little last night. The attempt to turn her into a younger Blanche just seems a bit too forced for me at the moment. The way she gatecrased the fostering discussion and thought everyone was talking to her, I could see Blanche saying it and Deirdre trying to restrain her with the "Mother!" comment.
Kylie is my main complaint, and she used to be one of my favourite characters. She doesn't know if she can handle this? She had months to consider that she might not be able to handle it and to do the decent thing and fess up to what she had done. If she's that worried, why isn't she asking Gail to go and see Nick to see how the land lies, instead of whining to her about it?

imo the nick/david/kylie storyline is a bit tedious, over the top, hammy, badly acted and only saved by jane danson.

Agreed, although I must say I am looking forward to the Leanne and Stella scenes when it inevitably comes out.
I just don't know why soap characters always seem to cheat on their partners with members of the partner's family these days. :thumbsdow That and the writers seem to forget any character history; Gail was one to talk at the start, as Sarah-Louise could potentially have been Brian's cousin's.

rita is a bit over bearing as well. she is so more annoying than norris. i sometimes wish she had been left buried under the sherbert lemons after the tram crash.
Good point. Norris is more amusing with it. Saying that, I do like Rita's scenes with Dennis and I wish we saw more of them.
Ugh I keep shouting at the TV at the moment. Kylie can talk, getting worried whenever David speaks to Tina. She's the one that's been unfaithful.
Grrr Nick. I just don't think he has the right to ask for a DNA test when he's the one that's done the dirty. It should be up to David in my opinion. Then again, since David can write poison pen letters and fake reviews, why can't he create a fake DNA result sheet? He could go to the hospital and ask Nick for a DNA sample to make him think that he is taking it seriously. Nick wouldn't know that he didn't send it off.
Im getting well and truely sick of David and Nick! Boring Boring Boring!

mecca bingo would have been packed out on friday. :D
Well that shocked me. Kept expecting David to realise that he'd somehow read the results wrong, with the way he looked. He was also doing a good guilty impression for someone who isn't having an affair.
so david is the daddy
so now the DNA results sit in the DVD box and are found by...? Kylie...? Gail...?
and whichever they manage to then keep their gob shut until the Christening?

I am happy David is the daddy, Nick seemed disappointed and angry as he knows with Leanne he will never now have a biological child of his own
I'm glad they didn't go the obvious route and make Nick the father. I loved David's and Nick's scenes together, especially David's confusion and anger at Nick's disappointment at the result.

He might. I just searched Leanne on Wikipedia and she isn't infertile. She's unlikely to conceive naturally but this is soapland and there is always IVF. I'm sure Leanne could afford it if she could potentially have loaned Stella the money to re-fit the pub.
I agree it would be interesting though if Nick eventually explains his reaction to David in this way.
good to see a nice side to norris helping roy to dance
anyone find hayley's new cancer friend a bit strange
lol'd at eva getting smacked and tracey saying about tina being orange :p

The fortune teller in tonight's show used to be in Shameless, but can't remember her character's name from that. I'm assuming she picked the death card in the tarot reading, and arranging for the ballroom to be open was supposedly showing us she wasn't a charlatan. I liked it.
She did start to turn the death card over, but didn't want to tell her, that's why she said go back today.
The DNA wont be conclusive if 2 potential fathers are brothers, they would BOTH need to be tested along with mother and baby for it to be accurate so could be a twist for future.

corrie is going in the wrong direction. liz/steve/michelle a joke. it is only the roy and hayley scenes saving this soap. beautiful scenes in blackpool. julie and david are a class act.

Kylie and Nick haven't exactly got off scott-free - they've both lost their marriages and Nick nearly lost his life. David's reaction to their one-night stand was that of an evil mind...I still love watching him though :D
I'm enjoying Liz being back, and her scenes with Steve are always entertaining. They're spoilt by Michelle's presence though, as far as I'm concerned.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Roy and Hayley danced together :(
Thought the Roy and Hayley scenes were magic, and bringing " lillian" in as the fortune teller, icing on the cake . Might go down as a bit of classic corrie imo. The " biscuitgate" scene was funny, good to see Liz back.

Gail saying she wished David was aborted was harsh, yes he went OTT in his revenge of Nick but to be fair he did sleep with his wife (all Kylie's fault :p) I felt a tad sorry for David too last night, Jack's acting is top class as David imo plays him brilliantly, him and Jane Danson are saving the storyline acting wise for me as Ben Price is a terrible actor
The scenes of Roy and Hayley were lovely

david didn't set out to kill nick he wanted him to pull over and no one forced kylie and nick to have sex and then gail inviting both back to the house for tea and crumpets :angry: so mad at her and kylie and nick more so than david
nick is alive and leanne will forgive him as she was chasing after peter the night before and kylie seems more upset over nick than david, she must care more for him

David undid Nick's seatbelt before trying to stop the van, as can clearly be seen in this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en3kqBSbZ50"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en3kqBSbZ50.
Nick even mentioned it to David in the hospital, and David didn't deny it. The only reason to undo his seatbelt would be to hurt or kill him, which seriously outdoes a one-night stand in my book. That's why Nick's getting all the sympathy.
Yes, Nick is alive (just) and Leanne will probably forgive him as this is a soap, but she likely wouldn't in real life. Kylie is more upset about Nick because she realizes the gravity of what David did when he terrorized and tried to kill Nick. She now knows how evil David is deep down and, understandably, wants nothing to do with him.
As I said, this is a soap, so we know all will eventually be forgiven :D
david wanted nick to stop because he was going back to confess to leanne and the family, david didn't want to kill him
david and roy scene was nice, don't david own the house and salon?

I think we are building up to Michelle finding out that Andrea is not the Moose Steve has portrayed her as.....Steve lies about attractiveness of Andrea, Steve lies about length of time spent at college, Steve lies that study group consists of many students when it is just him and Andrea....cue comical mix up where michelle thinks he is having an affair!!
Andrea is played by Haley Tamaddon who used to be in Emmerdale - I think she looks a bit like Michelle and certainly is attractive

no but it was mentionned that Hayley/Harold never knew a son exisited? as the pregnancy sort of came after the relationship with Christians mother ended? So Harold never knew he had a son, so hayley couldnt have paid anything towards him...?
I feel if after the inital (big) shock of coming to find harold and getting Hayley, Christian had tried to understand - then he deserved support from hayley in times of financial hardship - the fact he only came back sniffing round when he needed something makes him slime!!

That's probably the thing that's getting on my nerves most about this storyline.
Why would Gail swap her allegience so suddenly with no apparent motive or explanation, and nobody comments or questions her about it? :searchme:

Definitely Kylie for me, Nick will be ok eventually and Tina gone, so Peter be ok

Kylie has got reason to be so upset (finding out her husband is a complete psycho) even though it's been dragged out far too long; Nick's change is understandable. Tina's being annoying too, but at least she's had a bad year with the surrogacy and being unceremoniously dumped, so her complete personality transplant is realistic (in soap terms, anyway :)).
Peter is just a total sleaze :angry:

I agree - their "break in" was meant to be funny, I suppose, but I didn't find doing that to your own mother entertaining. I was mad as hell when Deirdre gave in to them :angry:
We've had an explanation (of sorts) at last for Tina's personality transplant - that her feelings for Peter were so strong that she lost her head. Unfortunately, the charisma between the actors is non-existent, so that explanation doesn't jibe with what we saw onscreen.

She should have held out for a Blu-ray player to go with the plasma TV at least. Of course maybe when Traceyluv leaves Dreary will have a torrid affair with Rob.

And that's when I lost all interest in him as he started becoming violent and neglecting his son. Typical of alcoholics who abuse responsibility and can lose control over their tempers.

Do you mean Peter and Simon? The fire in the flat etc? That was terrible, but he eventually took responsibility and did something about it, so I found it forgiveable. I still liked his character through all that, which I don't at the moment. He's got no excuse for what he's been doing with Tina :angry:
You recall also the begnning of his relationship with his son found him reluctant to take an active role in raising his son until he found out that Lucy had left her estate to him on the condition that he raise the boy. That worked for him when he saw the money signs.
And he really took responsibllity after the fire didn't he? Remember he fell off the wagon and that's how George won interim custody of Simon.
Not to mention the emotional roller coaster the boy was put through in connection with his father's relationships.
And now he has this idiotic affair with Tina, who at the end made attempts to escape him but he still would move in for a snog. Oh, he's a real prince.

I think he's kept on for his comedy skills on Corrie. It's certainly not for his dramatic ability. But then again, is he capable? They only utilize him in a comedic, one dimensional capacity.

Painful alright and in a way to me, exploitative. They're milking this for all it's worth knowing full well the emotional impact this subject has on the public. I'm only grateful that Hesmondhalgh has been reigned in with this storyline from her usual cartoonish OTT eye rolling performance as Haley.

I don't think the state of Steve MacDonald is Simon Gregson's fault as Steve has been written as a buffoonish character for years now. I remember him as an excellent character when he was younger - charismatic and compelling - especially as a villain. I really wish they'd take his character back in that direction.
Simon Gregson would have a bit of a shock at having to act again, but I for one think he'd manage it :D

You got that right. Many an actor has given up taking chances so that they can have a secure paycheck. The business is so competative and unstable and actors are notoriously insecure types.

I agree witht that Steve has become more of a comic character over the years even though he has been a villian in previous years, but I like Steve and I think Simon is trying to do his best with what he has to work with. If you look who his main storylines are with Michelle & Lloyd none of them are good actors and there is only so much you can do with scene's in the cab office or pub. When Steve was with Becky there was a mixture of laughs and serious moments with them now it's just how can we humiliate Steve this episode. Steve needs a new woman someone strong who can act maybe Leanne or a new character or someone a bit dizzy like Eve.

For me soap actors in general are mediocre so he's not unique in that respect. And Corrie's forte is it's humor so in a way, he's getting the best from the Corrie writers. They're hardly great dramatists.

Stella is becoming annoying again
She's remained annoying to me. Lipless, lackluster character who I never cared about one way or the other. That Michelle Collins came to the show has been no contribution at all.
Coronation Street bosses have been warned their plan to broadcast a terminally-ill character committing suicide before the watershed could lead to copycat deaths.
The programme's character Hayley Cropper - played by actress Julie Hesmondhalgh - will be shown taking an overdose because she cannot face living with incurable cancer.
But the scenes will be broadcast before 9pm, prompting welfare charity the Samaritans to express concern they could affect vulnerable viewers.
Coronation Street bosses and Ms Hesmondhalgh say they have approached the subject sensitively and do not believe he programme will lead to more suicides.
According to the Daily Mirror , the Samaritans provided storyline advice to the programme's producers, including requesting that details about the drugs used in the right-to-die storyline are not revealed.
A spokeswoman for the charity told the paper: "We advised them to give no details of the medication or how she obtained the drugs.
"Portraying an overdose as a gentle and peaceful way to die can be very dangerous and bears no resemblance to the reality of slow liver failure afterwards.
"We have advised them to make it as safe as possible, but we can't stop them from doing it. We might not agree, but dramas all, at some point, cover these issues."
Ms Hesmondhalgh said there was "an almost holy atmosphere" on set when she filmed her final scene with on-screen husband Roy, played by David Neilson.
"It didn't seem like I was watching anything to do with me at all, she said. "It was just these two characters that I really loved and seeing the end of their love story, oh yeah there were tears. My husband was absolutely devastated.
"The way it had been directed was very carefully done. There was an almost holy atmosphere on set and we only did one take.
"Kay Patrick, the director, made sure that everything was in place before we went for it so we weren't having to keep doing it over and over which is why it's quite raw I think."
Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn told the Daily Mirror: "We're not advocates for Hayley's decision and her belief she had a right to choose a time of her dying, in any way, shape or form."

I've had concerns along these lines since this storyline unfolded along with just the general miliking of such an emotional issue. And that they consulted with the Samartians for help in writing this then disregard their recommendations mentioned in the above article just to me shows their irresponsible attitude.
Coronation Street bosses have been warned their plan to broadcast a terminally-ill character committing suicide before the watershed could lead to copycat deaths.
Gloria, could I please ask that you don't post spoilers in the "Current Episode Discussion" thread, as I, and others, deliberately don't read spoilers because we want to be surprised. You can also use spoiler tags if you want to mention something coming up so that people don't accidentally read it, or, better still, post in the spoilers part of the forum :)

Very sorry Dazzle. I thought it was general knowledge that there would be suicide in this storyline. Won't happen again.

Obviously I thought it was likely to happen but I didn't actually know until now :D
Don't worry about it though - I avoid spoilers as best I can but it's hard to avoid them completely nowadays.
No harm done :)
