Missed all the action as i was away. Well, just from reading this I can see tht Rita deserves much better then this teddy boy wannabee that's for sure.

Michelle Keegan feels this all will move her career on because as she said:
"The fact that I won't be able to come back gives me more drive to continue to work and try and push myself now.

I think if I had Corrie as a safety net I'd always be thinking, ‘Oh, I might not do that because I can always go back to Corrie in a few months or a year.’

“But now that's not there, I will work for what I want. [Or I could come back as] a twin sister no one knew about.”

Don't forget this was her first acting job too, so leaving will be a beginning for her.

Can't wait for Tina to be bumped off ... sick of 'so called storyline' they rushed out because Tommy was sacked. It doesn't sit right with her character.

I need to rinse my eyes out after having to look at her and Peter there earlier. And do they actually think Gascoyne is so hot we wanted to see him with that towel? Maybe 20 years ago. Sickening to see this duo. She's so pretty and he's so past his sell by date.

Was praying someone would have pushed Fiz into the canal. I think it's been invasion of the body snatchers for this character bears little resemblence to her former self. This Fiz is so obsessive, self-righteous and angry I wish someone would do away with her even more then Tina.

Coronation Street made for really unpleasant viewing last night. OK we get it - Tina and Peter are having an affair. Ten minutes into the programme and we'd already seen them snog so often I was ACHING for the adverts to come on and stop the torture. Horrible storyline, way too much sexual activity (implied or otherwise) for that early in the evening - somebody do her in quickly, and there's a bonus if you take Peter and Fiz too. Get back to more of the smart writing that generated Emily's Breaking Bad references last week - pure genius.

So contrived that Peter and Tina spent all day at his flat when hers was empty. Why would she want to carry on with Peter in his wife's home when she has a nice, empty flat. Poor writing! :angry:

A good example of lazy writing by soap writers. They often don't take the effort to bring details and logic into the storylines.

Because Michelle probably does not have keys to Tina's flat ... would have been impossible to send Steve and Lloyd and start the storyline of the affair becoming knowledge

Peter has consistently not put his son first. This is just the latest installment. Selfish, weak man and we had to be subjected to his steamy scenes with Tina who is half his age. Keep your shirt on Peter and cover up those tired tatoos.

I turned against this character when he started with his alcoholic rages which harmed his child. He continues to put himself first and his desires over everyone else. He simply isn't a likeable character to me. And now that he's past his sell by date he really isn't what you want to see parading around in a towel.

That little girl, Elle Mulvaney, is proving to be an excellent actress. Her predecessor, Amber Chadwick, had to be replaced because she couldn't handle the bigger storylines. Watch that kid. She may wind up giving Alex Bain, Simon, a run for his money.

Can someone explain what that little scenario between Dennis, Rita and Gloria was meant to achieve. Completely pointless waste of airtime. Their was no storyline need for Dennis to go back to Rita, or for that matter for Rita to have him back. Dennis and Gloria could have just gone off together. At least that would have left Rita with a bit of dignity. So annoying , particularly when the scriptwriters have time to be a little more creative imo.

I would agree Glen, but the writers just aren't the best let's face it.:wall:

I think to be fair we all have to realize that these are soaps and their very nature is quantity not quality. Unlike feature films or even quality tv series, they don't have the approach which allows for refinements and more complex and believable plots. We want the ongoing episodes daily so that's sort of the price paid. The better writers don't want to work that way and avoid soaps.

I think there are some good writers on soaps - take Jonathan Harvey, for instance, who wrote the episodes a week or so back where Emily was addicted to Breaking Bad. They were witty episodes. The Dennis/Rita/Gloria storyline was decided before it was given to someone to write the script for it. The way Dennis behaved to Rita, waving her goodbye from the car so cruelly, was out of character :angry:

I know that soaps live for affair storylines, but two at the same time is a bit much. Still, I'd prefer Todd/Marcus to Peter/Tina any day. The actors actually have chemistry and I find evil Todd's manipulations and smugness quite amusing. I'm a bit shocked that Marcus made the first move though :eek: At least he's genuinely remorseful and angry at himself, unlike another adulterer on the street.

Roy's back in his place in the cafe (correcting apostrophes) so all's right with the world :)

Fiz talking to Tyrone about Roy: "We'll be subtle" :rotfl:

I wouldn't argue too strenously Daz, for here I sit talking about the soaps I watch. How bad are they? I've said it before, I enjoy them warts and all.

For Corrie, the humorous aspects can be outstanding and they've got some actors with excellent comic timing so it all works.
Todd is a very convincing suducer and I'm enjoying this character who is villianious. And we all know I like a good villian, me!
For a reluctant target Marcus sure got that shirt off fast!

Are the body snatchers ever going to return Fiz by the way???

It was a mistake of Anna to see Phelan on her own. She should have had Izzy there as a witness so he couldn't twist things.

Felt so sorry for Rita, even though she could be a bit of a cow to Dennis at times. Nice to see Norris being sensitive and the actor being given some real acting to do for a change.

Nice to see Roy looking happier, but I'm worried he's going to retreat into his hobby. I was afraid they were going to show his flat completely overrun with train sets :(

I quite enjoyed Beth's mugging heroics but felt the storyline went on for too long and was too big a part of Friday's episodes. The bingo winner got a lot of screentime for very minor character - is she coming into Corrie, I wonder? I did think she was quite good.

I can't say I remember much of the rest of the episodes - some annoying stuff about the Windasses taking Jake to hospital, and Owen and Gary panicking about Phelan. Oh, and it was Dev's birthday.

Phelan could have come to, wandered off, and then died. Or someone else could have moved the body (who or why, I've no idea :D).

Surprise, surprise...Phelan is alive :D

I can understand Gary and Owen panicking about the possibility that he was dead, but now he's alive (and very well, it seems, with nary a scratch on him), what are they so worried about? He's not said there's any evidence that Gary attacked him (which would be a different matter) so would Gary really get into serious trouble about it?

Still, I've enjoyed the story so far. It's just a shame that I find the Windass/Armstrong women so annoying :wall:

Could Steph's brother be any more annoying? :angry:

I can understand Gary and Owen panicking about the possibility that he was dead, but now he's alive (and very well, it seems, with nary a scratch on him), what are they so worried about? He's not said there's any evidence that Gary attacked him (which would be a different matter) so would Gary really get into serious trouble about it?

Apparently it is on CCTV

I really liked what Owen said to Gary last night about it being braver to let go of your pride for the sake of others. Very thoughtful insight from the former bully :D

Putting Owen at the forefront of a storyline is certainly paying off.

I didn't know whether to to feel angry at, or sorry for, Tina when she forced Peter to say he loved her by threatening to reveal all. He definitely only said it to keep her quiet. How is she stupid enough to believe what he only said under duress? :wall:

That scene last night where Maddie kept saying "take me to bed" to Sophie was beyond cringeworthy... :thumbsdow

I realise that Maddie is supposed to be vulnerable and not good at relationships, but I'm afraid the actress can't carry that off or be sympathetic. I've tried to like her, but just can't. It doesn't help that she's paired with the unlikeable Sophie either. To be honest, I dislike this pairing even more than I hate Peter and Tina, and that's saying something :eek:

I find it very odd that when Hayley was alive everyone kept barging into their flat at every opportunity. Now, no one goes up to see what Roy's up to (and he is very obviously up to something - my guess is filling the flat with his model trains :( ). It's out of character that Fiz or Anna wouldn't go up to see if anything's amiss. They're just assuming he's coping because he seems ok on the surface!!!

I liked Steve and Tony's scenes. I just wish Steve hadn't backed down with the sinister Tony.

I felt sorry for Maria and wasn't surprised she lashed out at anyone near. She's felt insecure from the start of the relationship, but Marcus reassured her that she had nothing to worry about time and time again. She's not to blame for believing him. I did too, to be honest.

Eileen shares some of the blame, anyway, because she's known what was going on for weeks. Fiz has been so annoying throughout the Roy and Hayley storyline that I don't care if someone has a go at her :p

I like Maria, and am glad she's got a meaty storyline for a change.

That's really good of your family :) . Unfortunately, Maddie in Corrie is just another example of today's media portraying the poor and vulnerable in the UK as unsympathetic and undeserving. I hope those with any sense can see that poverty and homelessness can happen to anybody. Who would want to be in that position?

I enjoyed Kevin's return more than I was anticipating, though Michael le Vell seemed a little awkward. Shame Kevin'll be going just as we get used to him again.

So Peter's gets to have his cake and eat it :angry: I must admit I laughed when he smirked at the end of the scene in the ginnel, even though it made me mad at the same time. It was such a typical Peter moment, and well-played by Chris.

Todd looked surprisingly hurt at Eileen's outburst bemoaning the loss of her lovely little boy. I hope we get to delve deeper into Todd's psyche.

The Peter and Tina storyline has got interesting at last. Good performances last night from Chris and Michelle. It's easy to forget that I used to like both characters before the affair storyline with its cringe-making scripts began.


steve was great tonight especially him and peter in bed together, very funny :p

The Peter and Steve scenes were excellence and very funny. I hope they've proved to Simon Gregson's naysayers that he can act if given good material and someone he can bounce off. It's just proved to me even more that they need to break Steve and Michelle up pronto and pair him with someone with whom he has chemistry (and who can act too).

I don't think Michelle pulling Steve by the ear down the road was funny - to me it just comes across as abusive (because Kym Marsh can't do comedy imo). She just seems vicious in those scenes.


Why was Tina grieving and mad at Peter for a baby that never existed?

People do grieve if they hoped they were pregnant only to find out they were wrong. They feel like they've lost a baby even though there was never one to begin with.

She was angry at him when he didn't want the baby because she was totally deluded that he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She's had a wake-up call now, and I can't wait to see her reaction when she finds out that Carla's pregnant and that Peter saying he didn't want to be a father again was a total fabrication - he just didn't want a baby with her!

I really enjoyed last night's episodes overall.

is she that thick that she can't realise he does not want to know

I think she has belatedly realised it, as evidenced by her statement that she'd make Peter pay at the end of Monday's second episode. It took her a long time to get there for a supposedly intelligent woman.

What the hell's with Tina's about-turn? She was swearing to pay Peter back for using her last week and looked to be turning psycho - and now loves him again?? Give me strength!!


anna getting dolled up for a date of sleazy sex with phelan she should have gone in her work clothes

That was hardly a date - being pressured into sex because she feared for her son's sanity is akin to rape. Anna quickly rubbed off the lip gloss when she realized who she was putting it on for, and looked quite ordinary when she turned up at the hotel.

Ughh...Phelan made my skin crawl last night, it was very uncomfortable watching. Very well acted by Debbie Rush as Anna's disgust and desperation were palpable.

What really annoyed me was the Windass/Armstrong clan suddenly being happy and carefree just as Anna was doing the deed, showing her she needn't have gone through with it after all. Very poor and unsubtle writing :angry: Also, no "contract" would persuade me that the bully Phelan, who gets off on having power over others, will now leave them alone.

Nice to see Michelle supportive of Steve after her initial reaction to finding him on top of Andrea lol.

The less said about Sophie and Maddie the better :wall:

I know ....one minute he is having a complete breakdown then the next he is totally calm making dinner. Phelan will get his comeuppance. Hopefully soon as i do not want Anna having to go through that again. It has to be Valarie that brings him down and leaves him with nothing. But when Owen finds out about Anna I am not sure their relationship will cope with it.

debbie rush was excellent in fridays double bill. however an unpleasant storyline that i felt did not suit corrie at all. it was very uncomfortable to watch and was more suited to eastenders or hollyoaks.

why does stuart (the hat) blackburn insist on trying to turn corrie into a 3rd rate northern version of eastenders. corrie should stick to doing what it does best.

Too right! Maddie has shown ZERO qualities that would make ANYONE fall for her, let alone a nice, decent, good looking person like Sophie - nobody's that desparate! It's either poor writing or poor acting, and for now I'd like to give the young actress the benefit of the doubt.

I agree, but I like Sophie even less I have to admit. I think she's the worse actress of the two as well. At least Maddie can be sympathetic at times, but I haven't cared a fig for Sophie since she was a young teenager who had to cope with having Rosie as a sister. Her relationship with Rosie could be very amusing.

Sophie...likes to support charities and be kind to the vulnerable...

She only even does that when it suits her. I notice that now she has her claws into Maddie that she no longer volunteers at the soup kitchen (or anywhere else).

I'm amazed that Phelan appears to have kept his word to Anna! Is that the last we're going to see of him, I wonder? I think the DVD must contain footage from the hotel room as there is no way Phelan would give in so easily. Poor Anna thinking she's got away with it...she's obviously traumatised by the experience :(

Peter's decision to sleep with Tina was almost as bad as Anna's to sleep with Pat. What a silly pair!

Not really liking the Lloyd and Andrea pairing as they don't have any chemistry. She works much better with Steve, although both seem genuinely happy with their respective partners at the moment.

Tim's conversation with Kirk was funny. I bet he feels a lot better about his relationship with Sally after hearing about Beth's possessiveness about her favourite cutlery lol.

I found Simon's sudden about-turn at being bezzie mates with Carla a bit strange :searchme:

Ha ha...yeah that was funny, especially the way Tracey looked at Deirdre as she downed the wine :D

Loved Mary and Gail in the gym too.

The gym was surprisingly full for a new business.

I'm not sure why Tyrone assumed the message was from Kirsty as it didn't sound like something she'd send at all. Didn't it refer to "we" for a start? Also, why would Kirsty leave presents for both girls?

If she ever had any true feelings for him she would never have gone near him and suffered in silence until somebody else came along.

I still don't get that they had to split her and Tommy up - they should have just replaced Tommy with a different actor and let them live happily ever after!!

To be fair, Corrie has improved in the last couple of weeks and I'm hopeful it'll keep on getting better. It's still my favourite soap, even though there's been a lot to moan at lately.

Even though Eastenders is better written at the moment, I'm more invested in Corrie's characters and enjoy its gentle humour (which has admittedly been mostly lacking recently).

When Corrie gets it right it's the best imo.
