Tim might have had help with the computer???
It would have been good if we had seen him having reading problems before now maybe getting help from Faye
Maddie interacts well with Tim and Sally
Mary got her hair done at the salon and then went to the gym :p
It would have been good if we had seen him having reading problems before now...
This needs to be explained. We've seen Tim lead a perfectly normal life up until now: using a computer to communicate with Faye, texting, even running his own business. All these actions need the ability to read and write reasonably well to get by. I'm sure the writers can find excuses for these things, but it's a bit perplexing for viewers who can remember these examples.
Here's (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/spoilers/a525669/todd-is-forced-to-explain-himself.html#~oRjVELpBUZNwDW) an instance of Tim reading a text that I thought I remembered:-
"Elsewhere, when Sally returns back from the shop with sweets for the girls, she is shocked to find Tim there. He has raced round after receiving a text from Faye and Grace saying that Sally left them home alone and they thought they heard a burglar. As Tim condemns Sally, will she realise she's been set up?"
As I said, this could be explained away by a bit of creative writing and should be done so that the storyline makes sense.
Still, I'm glad Tim's got a decent storyline and that we'll see more of him. I agree Tammy that it would be nice to see Roy teach Tim to read - a good opportunity for these two characters to interact, and maybe become unlikely friends.

Oh I just love this Mary-Julie-Dev storyline! So funny when Mary is always appearing there as a 3rd wheel! :D
Tim, Sally, Sophie&Maddie are great too! Enjoy watching them!
Kylie is doing my head in(sooner she goes, the better-hopefully leaves kids to David..), same as Kal's mum. Great that Roy has put stop on that library cafe-she's just taking advantage of poor Roy's business.

Wow, David really overreacted to Kylie taking the tablets. As if she did it to hurt Max! Kylie obviously loves her kids and wouldn't deliberately harm them. It should be obvious to David that she's been very stressed recently and not coping. He'd do better to suggest she make an appointment with the GP in her own right than to blame her for feeling desperate.
It was a good idea to lock up the tablets, though he could have done it without so pointedly making Kylie feel even worse.

She sold Max to Becky :p
She sold Max to Becky :p
Ha ha...I forgot about that for a moment! :o
Still, she's had a personality transplant since those days and has been shown as a loving mother in recent times.
So it looks like Tim can't read but he was able to find Faye online, is the writers completely forgetting this?
Maybe Tim will ask Roy to help him read
Kal's mother is annoying
all kal's family is annoying
I know she is tired most parents are but she keeps putting her new life at risk with this irresponsible behaviour and her kids lives at risk. So I have no sympathies with the character. I will be glad to see the back if her. I hope she takes her full maternity entitlement and stays away for the maximum length of time.
Again tim storyline is crazy as there has never been a hint of it before or Steve's depression. Fed up of Yasmeen too.

I agree that Kylie's been really unlikeable again recently and I won't be sad to see her go either, but she has been a decent character and a loving mother for a couple of years prior to the current storyline. I still say that David's reaction was over the top since he's supposed to love his wife and he certainly hasn't seen her as a bad mother in recent times.
Again tim storyline is crazy as there has never been a hint of it before or Steve's depression.
To be fair, I don't think that Steve's depression has come from nowhere (unlike Max's ADHD or Tim's illiteracy). Steve was very down on his 40th birthday several months ago, and there have been various comments since then that he's not himself. I like the way this is building, though I've got no high hopes that the depression will be tackled realistically.

Steve has had the "the lights are on but no ones home" look for some years now.
I think it came on when Fred Elliot died, he started taking on some of his mannerisms and has never snapped out of it.
From what Tim said in Wednesday's episode (something along the lines of words being jumbled up) it sounds like he has dyslexia rather than being totally illiterate. That makes a lot more sense in the context of the life he's been shown to lead. I don't have any experience of dyslexia, but from what I've seen and heard sufferers would be able to make out some of the words (depending on severity I suppose).
Yes, Dazzle, you are right, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Alan Sugar, Jamie Oliver for example are dyslexic but successful entrepreneurs

So what's happening with Peter Barlow and Jim, and Rob digging up the stuff, is that all on a back burner for a while now?
That will all surface again now - patience, grasshopper, patience :D
kylie is selfish thinking of herself not her family especially her kids them and david deserve better
so tim cant read at all

I don't understand the logic storyline wise in Tim and Kylie's current storylines, why only now we see Tim cant read or why is Kylie returning to her old estate
Max is very blonde yet Kylie is dark brown haired and Callum black haired
Ali Babi G or what ever Kal's mother's name is could she please leave and take her grandkids with her
Will Mary ever get a love of her own first Norris then Roy and now Dev they don't want her
I don't get why David is ready to kick Kylie out for taking the tablets, after all the stunts he has pulled, like hiding drugs in a doll for his niece Bethany to find ... he should be sitting down with her and try to find out what they can do to make her feel less stressed.
Who wrote the copy for Tim's flyer?
I thought he did it himself or he would have mentioned it to Maddie when they were talking about the mistake (which was funny, and, to be fair, anyone could have made that mistake, no matter their level of reading and writing). Therefore, he must be able to read and write a little (possibly dyslexia as I mentioned earlier in the thread), so why couldn't he make out the shopping list Sally gave him? I'm feeling more and more confused at this storyline!
It seems that Mary doesn't fancy Dev then but was just worried about being pushed out of his and the kids' lives. Poor Julie. :(
I really can't see how that small shop will be a community centre. How rude to try and exclude senior citizens! :thumbsdow
Surprisingly, I quite enjoyed the scenes in the pub. A totally different atmosphere to Corrie's usual cosiness and it worked well imo. Kylie's ex seems like he can act and is very cute! :wub:

I actually think David is a good dad to Max and Lily and he cares deeply for them so was worried when Kylie took the tablets from Max, he is putting the kids first I think, more than Kylie who don't seem to have much interest in being a mum, I am finding it hard to have sympathy for Kylie, she has Gail and David doing everything for her and the kids, even before David she didn't want Max and even was selling him to Becky

David could put the kids first and still behave more caringly towards Kylie. No matter what we feel about her, David supposedly loves his wife and thought that she'd put her past bad behaviour firmly behind her. I don't find his reaction very realistic personally, especially given his own outright evil history (as Perdy kindly reminds us - I'd forgotten about Bethany and the drugs :eek:). If anyone is going through a hard time and not coping, blaming them is likely to push them further away (as we're seeing happening at the moment).
They made up at the end of last episode but no doubt once Callum is more on the scene, things will go downhill again :(

Well, that's why I asked, Dazzle, because, according to the way this story has suddenly come about, it appeared that Tim couldn't read or write at all. He couldn't read the shopping list or anything else. So Tim wouldn't have been able to read any of the flyer not just be able to not tell the difference between window and widow.
That's why I was wondering who wrote the copy for the flyer. The only thing I can think of is that he told the printer what to say and left it up to him/her. So, a typo and a mistake by the printer not by Tim.

If it was the printer's mistake, surely that's the first thing Tim would have said. As he didn't, I assumed he'd written it himself, especially given he'd said to Maddie that he could read and write a little. However, if that's the case, why couldn't he make out at least some of Sally's shopping list? Curiouser and curiouser...
Well found,Dazzle! :clap:
Ha ha...thanks. I can't take the credit though as I saw it linked to on another site.

I prefer Maddie mixing with other characters especially Tim, Sally and Carla, she is a better character than Sophie imo and more so when not paired with Sophie
Too much of Kal's family for my liking but good we are seeing more of Tony's dark and manipulative side

I agree she's a better character than Sophie, and better away from Sophie. I still can't take to her for some reason even though she's been written as being far more likeable recently.
Too much of Kal's family for my liking...
I actually enjoyed the Nazir scenes last night and thought they worked as a family for the first time.

I get why you find that annoying lol. I quite like her but I'm glad they've toned down her nastiness now.
Yes she is very intense. Find her and her husband an odd couple. I am warming to Maddie.....but there was a time i liked Kylie so things can change. She is better without sophie.
I felt sorry for both Deirdre and Anne Kirkbride watching last night's episode. It's been apparent for some time that Deirdre has been missing from some important Barlow scenes. For example, remember the scene where Ken and "Deidre" drove away from the street to go on their holiday to North Wales? Deirdre was supposedly in the car, and we saw her hand waving, but Anne Kirkbride was very obviously not there.
If anyone felt that last night's scenes were rushed, that's because they probably were. Anne is taking a leave of absence from Corrie, so it's good that she was able to quickly film some scenes to explain her absence. I hope she's OK.
It seems realistic to me that Steve may have skin cancer on his right arm from driving. I'm just a little bit older than him and have sun damage on my right hand (but not my left). I've put it down to sun exposure from driving, and I don't even spend that much time in the car. I'm glad that Steve's getting a serious storyline for a change.
Gary and Alya seem like they could work well as a couple. Zeedan's improved a lot from his intial scenes - I loathed him at first!
I laughed when Carla put the phone down on Peter! I'm looking forward to next week's court scenes.
I think that something is going to expose Tony's dealings with the pawn shop. Once that is out then it will lead to Rob being a suspect. Who knew Tina knew about Tony's deals with Rob and Tracy.? She was taking photos in view of passers by and getting told off by Tony?.Or will they see photos in her phone. I need to know i cant bear it any longer

I don't think you'll have much longer to wait. :)
selfish kylie taking drugs and taking off on david and her kids they deserve better
That GP was lovely to Steve. I'm glad he hasn't got skin cancer. I wonder how long he'll be in denial about his mental health?
I don't think that Steve is the only Coronation Street resident suffering from depression. It seems obvious to me that Kylie is too. Though other viewers are calling her selfish, I see a young woman acting out because she can't cope with her feelings of guilt over her assumption that she's a bad parent because of Max's condition. I have sympathy with her as well as with her kids. It was truly awful for Max when his mum ignored him on the bus. :(
Beth really got on my nerves last night. First she was horrible to Michelle when she told her she no longer required her services. A thank you and an offer to pay her for her time wouldn't have gone amiss. She was also an ungrateful cow when Sinead showed her the flowers and mood board. I'd have told her to stick it if I was Sinead!
It's nice to see the street being used more realistically on the new set. I noticed during Ken and Audrey's scene that there was a brewery van outside the Rovers and a smaller van outside Dev's shop, from which a women was stocking up the flowers. We didn't used to have everyday things like that going on in the background because the street was too small.
When my daughter was diagnosed with a life changing medical condition at 13 I was depressed. I had to be strong for her though as she needed me more that time than any time every before. I felt guilty that my genetics and my husbands led to this and that she was unlucky to have me as a mum. She is now 22 at Uni doing a post grad having a good life with three medical conditions ....but has a quality of life and is happy. She feels she can take on the world because she has rock solid family support. I try and be with her every step of the way. The last thing you can do is run away from it and hope it will go away.

I'm glad you were able to be strong for your daughter and that she's doing so well. :)
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way condoning Kylie's actions. I just get why she feels the way she does, and, as you say, you experienced similar feelings yourself. Kylie isn't a strong person and has a history of running away when things get tough. I'd hope that with the help of David and the family she could get over this and learn to cope but
we know that Paula Lane will be going on maternity leave soon
so I don't think this will happen, unfortunately. It's a pity as the character has made such progress in the past few years.
i did'nt like Kylie threatening the man whose car she torched. Bit of a stupid scene really as he could have handled her but they made him look scared. Very unrealistic. Yes she is not strong and has a self destructive personality and therefore will bring bigger problems to their door. If she is going to have episodes of self destruction throughout the kids lives they will be ultimately better off without her. There will always be living on the edge. Even now max was worried that he was being abandoned. So he will always feel insecure. I am switching over when she comes on now and back when shes off scene. Don't enjoy this storyline at all.
Yes, it's very unfair on the poor kids. I really felt for Max last night. :(
At least they have David who's a calming influence in their lives - something I never thought I'd say given how evil he used to be lol.
I like the way they have made David grow up and be a responsible adult. Hopefully there will be a plausible excuse for Paula Lane's absence and later return ... I really hope that they don't split David and Kylie up, even for a short time. :nono:

That's a really good idea and would make the story far more upbeat.
Did she get rehab last time or just sort herself out? When David met her she was not on drugs just a chaotic person. i think

I can't remember her ever mentioning rehab. To my knowledge, she hasn't been on drugs since we met her.
But there are always references to her having taken drugs before which is why I would like for her to be sent to rehab :D

I wish she confided in Eva or Gail for help instead of turning to drugs and her ex boyfriend and abandoning David and the kids, poor Max he finally has a stable home and father figure in David and good granny in Gail too, Kylie has it good too with a job, friends, family and she is throwing at all away
Kylie could have gone to visit Becky

Bev Unwin (Shelley's mum) who used to live in the street. She and Deirdre were good friends.
I felt really sorry for Steve last night. He certainly put his foot in it! Another thing to feel down about. :(
I thought Roy coped quite well at court. He managed to throw that barrister's impertinent remarks about train spotting back in her face. :D
It's obvious he's feeling very lonely though.

That made me laugh lol.
I'm glad Roy's loss is being revisited. As I've said several times, I don't think enough attention has been paid to the effect Hayley's death would have had on him.
I have a feeling that the jury decides Peter is innocent and Carla will be in trouble next..That's when Rob will confess to Carla. Why would Rob have to say anything if Peter was found guilty(unless he actually has some consience)!
I'm glad of Roy stuggling to cope with Hayley's loss too..I must say I miss her too :( She was like a sunshine on the street..

I think Rob does have a little bit of a conscience, given that he feels some guilt at the suffering of Peter's loved ones - Simon, for example. He doesn't give a damn about Peter though. :angry:
You're right that he'd only confess and go to prison for Carla. Interesting theory about how he gets found out. :)
So why would Peter leave the Cobbles for an indefinite time after being found not guilty?? We don't know for how long Chris has a break but I presume it will be for longer than a couple of months .... Hope they make it a good reason ..

Chris Gascoyne's absence is going to be long term according to this (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/interviews/a601725/coronation-streets-chris-gascoyne-i-will-return-as-peter-barlow.html#~oSRUpz8YvNnDYi) article. He says: "I don't have a certain timespan in my head for when that will be, but it's years more than months."
Everyone hates Peter because of his affair with Tina, so that might be why he leaves. It would make more sense if his absence is due to being in prison. I don't want that to happen though. :(

I know, that'd be terrible, even if Simon disowns him. Peter's never been a good father though.

Maybe Carla&Peter go together and take Simon with them who knows(Simon doesn't really have any storylines yet so could be away for few years no problem)..I really do hope that he gets out and Rob will be arrested-despite of what the verdict tonight will be. Carla has got suspicious about Rob already-her face said it all at the end of Wednesday's episode...My other 'theory' ;) is that IF Peter is found guilty Rob will change somehow-either to very relaxed and relieved(when others would be heartbroken)..or then he feels very guilty about it..maybe sees how it affects Simon..and feels that he needs to get it out..so ends up telling to Carla..who is then left to decide what she's going to do with the information..and she finally goes to police just before Tracy's&Rob's wedding..But-we'll see what happens tonight in the courtroom. I personally used to like Rob, and I hate the whole storyline and the fact that it had to be Rob who killed her. I've always liked Peter(when he was happy with Carla, I liked him best-would have rather watched them that way and seen Carla as a mom). I used to like Tina too, up until she got involved with Peter and became a 'bunny boiler'. She used to be nice and cool. So I haven't liked any of this. I much rather would have seen Tracy as a killer-I wouldn't have missed her.
Thought Roy was striding out to re-visit "Lillian" the fortune teller at one point on the Blackpool trip Hayley's son involved with the burglary at Roys Rolls ?
Cruel teenagers. I remember when i was a kid i kept all my dolls in boxes and took them out to play for short periods so they did'nt get ruined. Burglars took every single one. I was so shocked.

Awww, I am so sorry - yes, people can be so cruel .. burglars steal some much cherished memories at times which can never be replaced ....:(

Hayley's son involved with the burglary at Roys Rolls ?
Those unpleasant teenagers seem like rather convenient suspects in the break-in to me, but I can't imagine who else could have done it. What makes you think it could be Hayley's son, Glen?
I don't want to see the vulnerable Roy suffer any more. :(

Excellent and well-written episodes last night.
Audrey getting all hot and bothered over Luke was funny. I don't blame her as he's rather lovely. Decent actor too too.
The trial scenes were suspenseful with plenty of twists and turns. It's to Chris Gascoyne's credit that I can't help liking Peter no matter how badly he behaves. The barristers and judge were excellent too. It's unusual to see a judge summing up in a soap as far as I can recall. I don't know what my verdict would be if i were on that jury as there's a lot of circumstantial evidence against Peter with only the fact that he told Carla all the lurid details of the affair in his favour. Will that be enough to put doubts in the jury's minds?
What's everyone's best guess at the verdict? Mine is that he'll be found guilty.
Same here, Lillian and Roy would have been cracking. Agree again the group of youths seem a bit obvious, and I guess the link with the storyline re Hayley, remembered what an obnoxious git the son was.sort of thing he would do. Complete speculation. The young lass on the jury seemed to accept Peters' account,but like you I think he will be found guilty . I don't think either of us should place any bets, my track record on these things is poor to say the least.

So is mine! In fact, going by my track record, it might be safe to say Peter will be found not guilty since I err on side of guilty. :D

I'm going for Not Guilty....
2 guilty to 1 not guilty so far.
Post made by Dazzle earlier , quote " The barristers and judge were excellent too. It's unusual to see a judge summing up in a soap as far as I can recall." It is strange, Could a third possible outcome be a hung jury and re-trial ?
The judge did instruct the jury to have a unanimous verdict though .....

I think if the jury fail to unanimously agree ,the judge may order a retrial, particularly for a murder case. Again only speculation ,may be a reason for such a detailed summary by the judge ,helps keep us viewers content if it happens.

The summary by the judge was good and may have been done to make us hope that he will be found not guilty. The fact that Peter is shocked at the verdict confuses me. Shocked that he is free to go or shocked that he goes back inside? Cannot wait

I haven't seen the trailer, but the fact that Peter looks shocked at the verdict reaffirms the feeling I have that he'll be found guilty. Or, as Glen says, it could be declared a mistrial and he'll have to go through the whole thing again. In the run up to the trial, and during most of it, he's seemed confident he'll be found not guilty to me.
We'll know one way or the other in just over 24 hours.

My other half said in a trial for murder it has to be unanimous,
So again I think either not guilty, or the jury will fail to reach a decision upon which they all agree.....
parkerman
19-10-2014, 23:30
Yes, I know it has to be unanimous, but when else in all the soap trials we've had do we get to see the judge summing up and specially making that point? There's always a reason for these things in Soapland.
The judge would not let them out very quickly if they do not reach an agreement. Very unlikely the agreement is that they are undecided then
parkerman
20-10-2014, 09:19
That is not necessarily the case. Yes, the Judge will urge them to reach a verdict, but, if even after as short a period as a day, the foreman says that in his/her opinion they have no chance of reaching a verdict then the judge could declare a retrial. For example, it could be a 6-6 which doesn't change at all during the day after due consideration and deliberation. It's unusual but has happened.
Guilty!! :(

peter really thought he was getting out, will all his plans talk to jim

Agreed. :(
It's really annoying that, apart from Ken, Tracey and Carla, no one else considers that Peter could be innocent. Even the likes of Gail and Fiz (who've both been wrongly convicted of murder!) were totally convinced the verdict was correct, with no references being made to their own miscarriages of justice. Very strange.

Fiz has become really annoying in recent years and I've come to dislike her. That baby voice is irritating as hell. She speaks to Roy as if he has a learning disability, when in fact he probably has a much higher IQ than she does.
It's sad to see him feeling so lost and alone. :(

He said he would announce the sentence on Friday. Can't see Peter being out before then.
It's been bugging me for ages that every single time something happens in Corrie, and someone is accused everyone is just ganging up together against that one person. Just recently it happened with Tyrone-no one believed him, except Tina, Tommy and Fizz, and now with Peter-when even his so called best mate(Steve) can't see that he's innocent. I can't believe that no one is suspecting Rob?? Not even Ken?
I used to like Fizz , but yes, it annoys me too the way she speaks to Roy. Looking after someone doesn't mean that you treat them like children! And the way Fizz walks too! In Blackpool when she was running after Roy she was walking like a duck! :D Surely not actresses normal walk is it?
I can't look at that Rob for much longer..his smug face is starting to really irritate me now. I was so disappointed that Peter was sent down, I hope Carla can get him out. I don't care what happens to Rob-whether he's arrested or flees Weatherfield, as long as the truth comes out and Peter gets out. If not-it looks like I have no soaps to watch as Charity didn't really get her comeuppance in Emmerdale at all either! :(

Jennie can't help her voice but could try not to speak in the baby manner she can do at times, especially when she is emotional. The walk might be because she is pregnant???

I also can't understand why those (few) who think Peter is not guilty are not questioning the evidence that points to his guilt.
If it wasn't Peter then it has got to be someone else.
If Peter didn't hide the loot in the privy then who did.
Come on Ken, wake up.

In Tyrone's case, it was even worse because everyone believed newcomer Kirsty over a man they'd known and liked for many years. Ludicrous!
If Peter didn't hide the loot in the privy then who did.
Come on Ken, wake up.
Carla is the only character who's been trying to figure out the who's really guilty. You're right, Snagglepus, that Ken should have been doing so as well.
Jennie can't help her voice but could try not to speak in the baby manner she can do at times, especially when she is emotional
I haven't got a problem with her normal voice, it's just the way Fiz speaks at certain times is very annoying. I doubt the actress speaks like that in day-to-day life.
:o Hope it's safe to re-surface after my re-trial nause up :(
The way Peter was directed into his cell with the comment "home sweet home" by the prison warder with the state Peter was in really poor imo, chatting to him might have helped, whilst suicide watch was organised.
Agree with all your comments ,why Carla hasn't cracked the case after Robs post verdict comments to her about Peter and everything else that has occurred between her and Rob, amazing. Ken and Tracey the same. The three of them beggar belief.
:o Hope it's safe to re-surface after my re-trial nause up :(
Hey Glen, don't worry about it. :D
One of my main enjoyments of talking with you all here is conjecture regarding the outcomes of stories. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes wrong. I embarrassed myself (yet again!) a few posts back on this thread by saying that Gail was found guilty of murdering Joe. I've since realised that, though she spent time in prison, she was on remand rather than sentenced, and was actually found not guilty. I still stand by my point about Gail not questioning whether Peter's verdict was a miscarriage of justice since she's been through something similar and expected to be found guilty.

I`m really embarassed to ask, but I will because I`m curious. When it said in the spoilers about Kylie getting a wrap of speed from her ex...what exactly is speed? Is it cocaine?
What is speed? Speed is amphetamine, a stimulating drug that triggers the brain’s reward system giving the user feelings of pleasure. Speed also goes by the street names “Ice, Crystal meth and Shabu” 2 The drug works using Dopamine. Speed is the street name for the Class B drug amphetamine sulphate. Sometimes speed is used to refer to other types of amphetamines. Speed is a stimulant and people take 'speed' to keep them awake, energised and alert.

Thanks Perdita. So how does Kylie use it? Does she snort it, or inject it? Sorry to be so clueless
:o
No idea, never seen it myself, I think they are pills/tablets??? Only ever smoked dope once (marijuana) 40 years ago, sent me to sleep within 10 minutes for about 11 hours ... never touched it again .. I don't have any idea myself
parkerman
22-10-2014, 18:58
It's usually "snorted" but can be dissolved in a drink. It can also be rubbed on the gums or dissolved in water and injected. In fact you name it and you can do it! But snorting is the usual way.
Not that I've ever had any myself.

Is she??! But I think Fizz has always walked that way, and she doesn't seem to walk that way on red carpet-so she seems to have developed that inside Fizz's character. I don't mean to mock anyone's walk-but as said I think she's made it as part of Fizz more than anything else.
She sure is pregnant (Jennie) , that is why her mum is back to cover the maternity leave, Cilla will be back off to Wolverhampton again .. unless somebody more local catches her eye again.. :)

That is what I have been querying for ages. Their kids are not school age so likely to be with them most of the time. Lily also has a magic babysitter. The only one that has sitters is Simon.

Jim's been told several times to leave them alone, but wouldn't desist. Liz felt threatened when he told her he'd be able to visit soon. Steve was right to be angry and I don't blame him for shopping Jim over the mobile phones.
Poor Steve's in a bad way. :(
It's a classic sign of depression to think that your loved ones hate you. To be fair, he's right that Michelle and Liz have spent a lot of time poking fun at him - much to many viewers' displeasure (including mine). I'm glad that's being addressed.
I think that's the last we've seen of Jim (for now). I enjoyed Steve properly losing his temper at him.

I think we just have to accept that the kids can't be in many scenes because there are strict laws governing how many hours child actors can work. It's definitely a good time for suspending your disbelief.
Rob wasn't expecting the shop to be sold out from under him lol. I was laughing at the look of horror on his face! :D
Good that it is being sold. But it will not get to that stage as he will be found out soon. Maybe that is how Tony gets involved with the business in Rob's absence

I liked it too when Steve actually stood up for himself and told Liz and Michelle how he feels! Well done Steve! I've been so annoyed for a very long time about the way those two women(who are supposed to love Steve the most) have been mocking him. Whether it's been Steve's interest in studying, his weight or just the fact that they think he doesn't do enough around the pub. If it's been meant to be funny-well, it hasn't been. I've started to dislike both Liz and Michelle for this reason-you could nearly call it bullying the way they've been after Steve.
Depression storyline is good and well suited for Steve. It could have been Owen as well, or Roy..or even Todd. But I'm glad they chose Steve as it's time these women would just shut up and appreciate him as he is. I've never really liked Tracy, but Tracy never spoke like that to Steve when they were together-does Michelle actually even love Steve?

Well said Mariba. Have you noticed that the bullying has been toned down lately and Michelle has started behaving lovingly towards Steve? It must be because there's been so much complaining about his treatment at the hands of Michelle and Liz by Corrie fans. I've seen it for myself on other sites and social media.
The mocking hasn't stopped altogether though. As Perdita says, they were at it again with his recent skin cancer scare. :angry:
Those harridans well deserved to be told the truth and I hope they take it on board.

Notice how Max's ADHD has conveniently been completely cured by the meds now that it's no longer needed for storyline purposes? :wall:
I'm liking the new, restrained Cilla (although I always enjoyed the character anyway).
There seems to be an inexplicable amount of excitement about a one-room community centre!

I really enjoyed last nights episodes and felt it was some of Corrie's best writing for a long time.
Electric scenes between Carla and Rob last night! These are the kind of intense and riveting scenes that have been mostly missing from Corrie recently. Compare these to the killer Karl reveal - it was such a damp squib by comparison. Alison King in particular was on top form yet again.
I like that Rob hasn't turned into a panto villain and wouldn't consider hurting his sister. As he can't be 45 years of age, I guess he's expecting to get a lot of extra time for perverting the course of justice.
I can't wait for what happens next! Will Rob go to prison or will he escape? (No spoilers please!) One thing I'm sure of is that Carla won't let Peter rot in prison.
It looks like we're not going to get to see the full horror of Tracey's dream wedding. What a pity! :D
Tracy was quite rude to poor Emily..it was hard to watch :(
Well, she should have read her card with more thought..soon she'll be crying.

The actors who play Carla and Rob have great chemistry, good scene between them and I want to see more scenes of Carla and Roy's friendship too
I believe Rob truly does love his sister Carla and Tracy

It might not have been the post (as in Royal Mail); it could have been a delivery company.

Gail borrowing Ken's kimono :p is it for her to wear or Michael
The wedding looked good Michelle the planner did an good job for Tracy and Rob
Deirdre was a big loss at the wedding
I cant wait for tomorrow night now
I found last night's double bill quite anti-climactic, especially when compared to Monday's tense episodes. Far too much of Tracey wailing for my liking.
It was nice to see Peter looking happy for a change, though he seems to think he's in with a chance with Carla! :wall:
The highlight for me was the threesome of Sally, Tim and Kevin. Surprisingly, they make a charming and funny group, and both men annoying snobby Sally was super funny. I hope we see more of these three together. :D
I went to an exciting wedding once where the grooms side and the brides side had a punch up before they got in the hall. Ambulances and Police got involved. The wedding was going to be called off it was terrible! My daughter laughed as I miseed most of all the commotion as I was in the ladies.

Well he was still married to his first wife -she was
alive and they were not divorced.
The wedding was arranged only weeks after meeting
-he was very personable and swept the new" bride"
off her feet.!! She had been disappointed in love before
and was very keen to wed and with hindsight probably
gullible.Wouldnt hear a word against him.
If the ceremony hadnt been stopped by his arrest-
he would have been a bigamist!

Jack P Shepherd is very funny, but I find Michael and Gail cringeworthy I'm afraid. :sick:
Les Dennis' drunk acting is very poor - he needs lessons from Chris Gascoyne.
So Tracey is prepared to never see her daughter again? :angry:

I thought Les Dennis was very good. It wasn't meant to be a portrayal of an alcoholic which Chris does very well. It was just a light-hearted comic cameo which I thought he carried off very well.

I don't mind Michael for the most part but I don't like him with Gail. As for her, she's good in dramatic storylines but I can't stand the way she behaves around men - fluttering her eyelashes and generally behaving like an idiot. To make it worse, I feel that Gail and Michael bring out each other's most annoying traits.

Will we ever get to see what's in Norris' parcel I wonder?
Something he's very keen to receive ,what about a toupee ?

Funny suggestions for what's in Norris' parcel :D
I am sure they will show us what it is as it has been a major on going storyline.
They better do or ITV will get 1000s of complaints, well at least one :o :D
I did not expect for Tracy to lead the police to Rob, thought they would just go their separate ways as Tracy would not be able to take Amy along ..

So did I .Looks like she must have negotiated a deal with the police her freedom from charges against Rob's capture.

yes that was a surprise guess she didn't want rob on the run without her trying to be happy with someone else :p

In my head i thought it was Tuesday so missed Coronation Street. Your post confused me when I read it. Just watched it now. He would have eventually got caught anyway. I did feel sorry for Rob.

Yes, after all. he only bludgeoned Tina to death....
He just is such a good actor you can't help it. I thought when Amy said she saw him crying watching a happy film. It struck home that he never had happy and thats why he cried.
So did I .Looks like she must have negotiated a deal with the police her freedom from charges against Rob's capture.
That ending didn't ring true for me at all. Tracey's been declaring to all and sundry how much she loves Rob for months, yet gives him up to the police (who she hates) so quickly? I could understand if the police caught her red-handed and she had to give him up to save herself from prison, but that's not how it seemed to go down last night. Maybe we'll get a better explanation on Friday.
During Monday's episodes, I didn't understand why Tracey wasn't followed or her phone bugged, as the police would have known that it was extremely likely that Rob would contact her. There was a police car outside the front of the Barlow house on Monday, but why wasn't the back covered too? Ken did say the police were throwing everything at finding Rob.

I didn't feel sorry for Rob in the end as he was blaming everyone but himself for his predicament. He's also taken no responsibility throughout the storyline by blaming Peter for the murder, when Rob actually killed Tina to save his own skin.

Am I right in thinking Rob killed Tina because she was going to tell the police of his dodgy goods in the shop, the goods that Tracy was getting after Rob told her he wanted nothing to do with dodgy gear.

That was part of it, yes. He was afraid of being sent back to prison due to the stolen goods and also because Tina threatened to say he pushed her off the balcony. His fear of returning to prison was his main motivation, I feel. Tracey was partly responsible for that.

Tracy seemed to know the police were on their way before Rob realised, and to arrive in such numbers so quickly they must have had prior knowledge . I think Tracy was more concerned about Rob being caught without her help, which might spoil any deal she had with the police. As for the " last farewell " scenes with Amy . attempt to throw us off the scent ? As you say perhaps more will be revealed on Friday. I thought the sight of Rob still in his wedding tails funny.

I can't believe anyone would think that someone who bludgeoned someone else to death to save his own skin and then was happy for someone else to get life imprisonment for a crime he didn't commit with the consequent effect on others like Simon and Ken should get away with it! :angry:

I did understand that Tracey'd contacted the police beforehand. In fact, she was probably talking to them in the back yard rather than to Rob (as we were led to believe).
Her motivation still just doesn't ring true for me though as the police appeared to have nothing on her. Her feelings for Amy have never prevented Tracey from behaving selfishly in the past either. Maybe she's growing up at last?? :searchme:

Well said! Rob's behaviour's been appalling throughout the storyline. His sad eyes and self pity don't sway me I'm afraid Tammy. :p
Now if it was real life we would have a different opinion about it all.

Very true. There've been many soap baddies I've been sorry to see leave (though I was glad to see them get their well-deserved comeuppance at the same time). Tony Gordon is one of my favourite Corrie baddies who fits that category. He partially redeemed himself in my eyes with his love for Maria and the baby.
Rob doesn't get any pity from me though as he's got no remorse about Tina's killing or the pain he inflicted since. Everyone else is to blame but himself.

Yes, I agree we've seen glimmers of it, but it wasn't enough to confess the truth or otherwise change his behaviour.
Maybe I feel no pity for him because Tina was an innocent (despite being annoying). Soap murders of nasty people (like EE's Carl) don't usually affect me. :D
I wish they had made Tony the murderer then we would still have Rob.

I agree. Rob wasn't the likeliest murderer, and it's a shame to see the actor go as he worked really well with Carla (and even improved Tracey). Tony's got a very believable dark and intense side.
If they had made Tony the murderer, let Carla have her baby, let Rob and Tracy get married I would have been happier

That would have been a much better resolution to the story. The Grimshaws could also have been brought into the storyline then.
I think the Corrie team must have wanted to get rid of Rob, and I would have agreed with them in the past, but Marc Baylis' acting has improved a lot during this storyline. Carla's growing closeness to Rob has been a highlight of the Tina murder story, and I feel it's a great shame we've now lost that as it allowed us to glimpse more layers of Carla's character.

Her with a baby would have been good too
Disappointed there wasn't more information following on from Rob's arrest and Tracy's involvement and motives. Perhaps it will occur next week ?
Or maybe not these script writers do not think logically

I think that's the last we've heard about it now. If we're lucky we'll hear Rob's sentence.
So Tracey does exactly the same as Rob and blames everyone else for his actions. Talk about deluded! It's nice to see her suffering for a change. It's very well-deserved. Shame this experience won't teach her any humility.
Couldn't Eileen have just let Todd know she wasn't coming? I think I must have missed the scene where she decided not to go after all. What changed her mind?
