Bethany looks and acts so much older than 14. Isn't she meant to be Faye's age? I would have easily said that she is 18. Must admit I quite like her so far. I liked her winding up Steph at the Rovers.
Andrea breaking the chair at Streetcars was funny :D

I didn't like Gail's lies again to Gavin's mother, she is a mother herself how would she like it :angry: I hate this stupid storyline, I actually enjoyed Michael giving out to Gail because he wanted his chips :p

No, nor use teenage age idioms . " It is well good " . This is recent that even Sarah Lou would not use that expression.

Where that are taught to speak with regional accents and use teenage idioms and slang ? .

And she knows her way around town, going shopping to the Arndale Centre.
It would have been so much better and more interesting to have had Bethany as a true Italian. Well, she would be, wouldn't she and to see her trying to come to terms with British culture. She hasn't even been here for holidays for goodness sake. No, we have to have another bolshie teenager . What's new? Yawn !!

No, of course she wouldn't be taught that any more than children here are taught teenage idioms and slang. But she would be mixing with other English children who would speak with regional accents and use teenage idioms and slang. Her own accent would come from her mother of course.
She sounds just like Tina o'brian
more like sinead to me
Bethany was brought up in Weatherfield for her first seven years and developed her accent then. Many people don't lose their accents after that age, no matter how long they live in another country. Also as well as probably going to an English school and being surrounded by English kids, accents and phrases, she would have been mostly hanging out with her mum and great uncle (?) who were brought up in Manchester, and also possibly talking to her old school friends online. So I don't see a problem with her accent.
I think we can also accept that she and Sarah have been back to Manchester since she's left, despite it not being shown or mentioned in Corrie. Plus, there's a thing called Google maps for those who don't know their way around...
I think Bethany's got off to a very good start and she makes me laugh - which is a good sign. I agree she looks about 18, but that was deliberate on the part of the casting directors. They wanted an actress who could pass as an adult (as many 14 year old girls can when they're dressed to the nines). It's hard to see her hanging out with Faye though. They'd have absolutely nothing in common!
Gail's lies have gone way too far and it was quite unpleasant to see her lying through her teeth to Gavin's mother. I suppose having made the decision to lie she's got to stick to it, but she's in over her head and keeps digging herself deeper and deeper. I enjoyed Michael's outburst about the chips too, Tammy. :D
David had some cracking one-liners, especially when talking about Gail's absence from the mediation session ("you'd think she wasn't there!" :D). Bethany had some good lines too and pulled them off well.

Still don't buy the strength of the accent - unless all the other ex-pat pupils were from the same small corner of England, and they and her mother were the only people she ever spoke with.

I actually thought that a "study" had proved
that when children move locations at an early
age or even if they stay where they are born
but their parents have an accent from another
part of country/ world - they speak like their
schoolfriends etc not parents and children
go to nurseries at an earlier age now which
means they mix with other children/ carers
earlier too.

I still think Bethany's accent is fine as she moved when she was seven so her accent had had plenty of time to become entrenched by then. I agree it probably would have been toned down by mixing with British people of all accents at school, but it really isn't an important enough issue for me to get hung up on. Accent is a very malleable thing and some people's accents change significantly when they move abroad whereas others don't budge in the slightest. Bethany has been well cast in my opinion and I like the actress, so subtlety of accent really isn't that important to me.
Nice to see that Bethany rates Anna Karenina. A message to the writers: lots of ordinary people enjoy a bit of culture you know. I find it quite odd that all the residents of Weatherfield (except snobby Ken of course) find intellectual pursuits boring and/or laughable. It's as if the writers think that all working class people are thick! I doubt Bethany's intellectualism will last now she's moved to Weatherfield. :wall:
Her manipulation of Audrey was pretty masterful! :D
I want one of Steve's magic pills. I don't know why anyone's depressed when such potent medication is available! :p
Yet again, when Steve and Michelle's relationship's being discussed, it's hammered home to us that he doesn't deserve her. Sorry writers but you're not going to convince us that Michelle's the catch you think she is. Most people I know think Michelle doesn't deserve Steve and nothing's going to convince us otherwise. :nono:

my post was just an observation based on
something I read some time ago.
The ages quoted was about 5-6yrs which would
tie in with Bethany being 7 when she left.
Also.why siblings born in different areas have
different accents from.each other.
The worst mistake is probably to try to talk
"posher" than you naturally do. It usually
slips at times of stress/ crisis.

Love that idea! David's about due for another psycho storyline. :D

Bethany's casting is nowhere near in the same league of ridiculousness as VJ's! He aged a decade practically overnight! :eek:
Bethany was always intended to look older than her age and the producers are fully well aware that Sarah Louise looks young for her age. The goal is for their relationship to be more like that of sisters than mother and daughter.
Bethany's impressed me so far as I think she's got bags of personality and can be funny. There've been a few dodgy acting moments but hopefully her acting will improve as she settles into the role.
So Bethany DOES go to an English school in Milan.:)
must be twilight school of edward cullen
If she went to an English school in Milan they would be talking English but with an Italian accent as most of the teachers would still be Italian. English school just means that English is taught there.
I have met people from abroad that have gone to what they call Englsih medium schools and they do jot have a natural English accent

Thanks for the viewpoint of someone with experience of accents, Swmc. :)
My understanding of Bethany's school was a British school and not just an English speaking school, so she would have been surrounded by pupils (and probably teachers too) speaking English with an English accent (that looks to be the case of the school Parkerman linked to a few pages back, although I admit I haven't examined it in detail). Since we haven't been given details of the school I can only guess at this though.
I've seen discussions about Bethany's accent elsewhere online and other people have anecdotes where the opposite to Swmc's experience is true, so I think it can very much depend on personality and circumstance.
However, even if Bethany's accent is totally incorrect for her particular circumstances, I'd still prefer the actress didn't put on a false Italian accent. Anyone remember the disaster that was Vicky's American accent in Eastenders? Casting an Italian would have been all wrong for the part too, and finding a girl brought up in Northern England with a real Italian accent would have been nigh on impossible.
I think the Corrie team have chosen the best route here (especially given the browbeating they took over Michelle Collins' false Northern accent - which was terrible and really distracted from the character of Stella).
faye must only wear her school uniform 24/7 how can anna not see her weight gain
Anna's knows that Faye's been bullied about her weight gain, so she's aware that Faye's bigger than she used to be. She must have chosen not to make an issue of it (the right choice as far as I'm concerned - well it would have been if Faye wasn't hiding a pregnancy lol). I would have liked some reference to Anna's thinking in the script though.
Yes your right the accent would have got on my nerves too. I am. Sure we will find out Anna's thinking later but it is a bit obvious there is a pregnancy now

Not alot happened, but nice scenes with Steve and Michelle. I just want to hug Steve and tell him everything is going to be ok. Even Sean was ok tonight.
It is nice to see what the residents of Weatherfield get up to on a Sunday. Did my eyes deceive me or was Liz handing out Sunday Roasts at the Rovers, I am sure I saw an Aunty Bessy on that plate. What would Betty Say? :nono:

Very unseasonal weather for the time of year up in Weatherfield....
shows they filmed it way back
Just drove home and there was light snow...in London this time of year!
Good to see Sarah back. I think I'm going to like the terrible twosome of her and Bethany.
At least someone's on the ball that there's something going on between Faye and Craig (Tim's the last person I would've expected to pick up on it though. Where's Anna?). I've thought for a while that it could be seen as quite inappropriate for a 16 year old boy to spend all his time with a 13 year old girl, but I suppose that's the (contrived) point given the pregnancy.
I'm surprised that the tax money's been paid already as I thought it would develop into a bigger storyline with the Mcdonalds possibly losing the Rovers.
Tony's well rid of Tracey so I was astonished to see him look disappointed that she dumped him. I thought he was terrified of her telling Liz, but the danger was probably part of the attraction. :wall:

It's enough to send anyone to the loony bin! Just where was Lily when all that screaming was going on ? It is a bit of a stretch of the imagination that she didn't even wake up, presuming that she and Max were upstairs !!!!

Where did Gail develop that new baby voice when she was taliking to Gavin. Its the same one she found when she told Meeeeeeechelle and Liz she liked baloons. Totally out of character

Oh, she's always done that, that baby voice, along with the fluttering eyelashes and the whispering and being very "sympathetic and understanding", often all at the same time .

Well, he doesn't have feelings for her as far as we know so I don't see any issues with it. Other than Faye, who on the street does he have to hang out with.

Gail's been losing the plot for quite some time Alan. I'm surprised it's taken until now for you to see it! :hmm:
I think the baby voice and simpering were going on as far back as when she fell for Lewis, and then got about a hundred times worse when she started the relationship with Michael. The sickeningly sweet way she and Michael used to simper at each other used to make me really nauseous! :sick: Luckily, they've been arguing too much recently for there to have been so much of that nonsense.
Gail is a completely different character to what she was a decade ago. She's been turned completely doollally, but maybe it's not too surprising what with being married to a serial killer and being the mother of demon David. No one normal would fall for the burglar who terrorised them that's for sure!

I don't have an issue with it because we know what's going on between them, but I think most parents of a thirteen year old girl would be worried about her suddenly spending all her time with a sixteen year old boy. As Tim himself said, most boys of that age are thinking about one thing only, so Anna and Tim would have been concerned about the situation long before now in my opinion.

Just thought before I posted, there is also Dev and Mom and Pop Nazir. who also put on "emphasized" voices.

basically agree with what uve said Dazzle
just a couple of additional points-
Gail being dim- the only reason I.can think
why she is being written that way is because
of Davids behaviour patterns. Most other
mothers would have been concerned a decade
ago and sought some medical or professional
advice.So she has to be dim to not notice
and have taken action. And for whatever
reason - his storylines and behaviours
do seem to improve the flagging ratings-for
a while.!
Tim noticing and Anna not noticing-
Although not the case here most 16 yr old
boys"targetting" girls some years their junior
are doing it for the obvious reason as u suggest
and most parents would be concerned particularly
in present climate. Also they would think a younger
girl would be more influenced and impressed than
one their own age.
Not sure exactly why Tim would notice except he's
been that age and the character has turned out
much better than expected.
Regarding Anna not noticing - thats exactly what
I would expect. She is such an interfering
bombastic person - always concerned about
other peoples business( tho not connected to
her other than living nearby) that she would
not notice things under her nose that affect her
family and should be her concern.
If they wanted to do a storyline about adoption
& fostering -Im sure even in a soap.they could
find a more believable role model.

The casting for new Bethany is ridiculous, she does look the same age as Sarah Lou, she could even be a new girlfriend for Jason
Why cant soaps cast actors/actresses near enough the same age of the character they play
I think they would have found it hard to get someone to look younger than her as Sarah looks incredibly young anyway. Fourteen years ago she played a teenage mum but has'nt changed much.
And for whatever
reason - his storylines and behaviours

I must admit to being one of the viewers who finds David's bad behaviour entertaining. :o

You're so right about Anna! I always wondered how she (and her partner at the time) were able to adopt so easily as they were brought into Corrie as one of those cliched troubled families that cause strife for everyone around them. Those famous cobbles have had a calming influence on the family but they can't erase their history, which is looked into in great detail for any potential adopter.

i really cant see bethany mixing with craig and faye if they are the same class at school she does seem older
why did jenny go to the café for lunch or breakfast she don't live near it if she didn't want to see kevin or rita?
Bethany is supposed to turn 15 in June. Still, I think she seems older as the actress playing her is 19.
Faye is two school years behind Bethany and Craig is a year above Bethany, I think. I know he's 16 but no exact date of birth has ever been given for the character.
parkerman

Wiki just says that Craig was born in 1998. So he'll be 17 this year. But as you say, Kim, no exact date.
I don't like Bethany-and yes, she looks far too grown up!! Plus using too much make up! More than Sarah! :D Not realistic at all-I would never allow my daughter at that age(or preferably not at any age) to walk around looking like that..! She looks like another slapper!
David is really funny yes :) So is Todd, and Eileen. And I like Callum winding up David! :D

Sarah is driving me mad!
Poor Faye, Annas face at the end of that episode! Loved the discussions of Rosie at Oakhill between Anna Owen Tim and Sally! Jonathan Harvey certainly writes well in these episodes and he is particularly good at writing for Sally.
Looked like the start of a Carla and Nick friendship in tonights episode. He was horrible the guy she was meeting.
sally wasn't funny but annoying for me tonight, callum has best chemistry with david only and he seems camp to me :p does jason want sarah back he acted jealous, does sarah not know david owns the house not gail
Sally is really not that thick that she doesn't realise how she comes across. Nobody says a word to her while she is going on and on and on. Not at all funny , just made me squirm.
The Faye pregnancy storyline has exceeded my expectations so far (not hard to do, admittedly!). I've enjoyed the Faye/Craig scenes, the labour scenes were quite good and we haven't even had any screeching from Anna - yet!
I wonder if Faye will keep the baby? She's certainly showing no interest at the moment but that may be due to trauma. I would have thought that if you didn't feel any affection for a baby you'd felt moving inside you for months then you never would, but everybody's different of course.
The baby looked about the same size as my granddaughter, whose over 2 months old now. No wonder Faye was in agony giving birth to that! :eek:
Sally's smug quips about parenting were funny and so were Anna and Owen's retorts (especially when implying that private school was wasted on dim Rosie). :D
I found it frustrating that everyone one was talking to Faye about breathing but noone was massaging her lower back to help her with pain or whatever else your supposed to do. Especially people in the room who have given birth! i do not think Faye wants to keep the baby. I expect most people her age would not want the responsibility. They must not force her into the situation she does not want. We know Anna gets fed up later on holding the baby... So they should listen.
Yes, if Faye really doesn't want the baby it would be better for both of them if it were adopted.

anna wont give a choice
Yes-I don't understand either why they are forcing Faye to accept and love the baby-why not to give her for adoption?? Faye is only 13 for goodness sake!!

Because I think Anna is too controlling -
she is not interested in the baby or
Fayes welfare-needs to be in charge.
I agree with the several.posters who
have said adoption would be best option.
It certainly would be unless there are radical
changes of heart & behaviour. Some families
could make it work but I dont think this is
one of them.And it would take away the
remainder of Fayes chlidhood- not that
shes had a brilliant one so far!
A couple of months ago.Mr Blackburn said
in effect that everything would be ok in
a years time and they would look back and
realise how far they had come! I may be
quite wrong but I think the soap management
would regard adoption as some sort of letdown/
failure which it isnt when done properly.
One point that interests me(I assume Social
Services will be involved as Faye is under age)
is if a very young mother is adamant she wants
her baby adopted and has thought it through-
but the mothers parent/ guardian didnt -
how much attention would be paid to their
wishes and could they eg adopt the baby
themselves ??

Adoption needs serious thought, it should be permanent. Perhaps they are worried Faye will regret it if she has her baby adopted.
She was in denial before the bany was born and still in denial. The people who tend to regret giving their baby up i expect are those who have not been in control of the decision.
I meant baby. I should wear my glasses more!

Considering she didn't realise she was pregnant until very late on she's not been able to adjust to the idea and I think she just doesn't have the maturity to comprehend what this all means for her and the baby's future.

It would give Faye a chance to think a bit
more without the baby there or Anna being
involved. Faye has had a lot happen to her
recently on top of a poor start in life.Ive no
idea how long it would take for a girl her
age to reach a balanced decision she wouldn't
regret later.
I hope what ever route the story goes-it bears
some resemblance to real life procedures and
events.Unlike a lot of Fayes own fostering.
But I think the story is basically written already
according to soap rules which means "happy
ending" no matter how unlikely! Tho it would
be good if there was some postitive aspect to
the story.

I think he is also underage!
As the Soap Social Services didnt " investigate"
Anna fully before she was allowed to adopt/
foster Faye-I would doubt they would follow
other procedures properly.
I know Real Social Services dont always get a good
press but from people I know who have fostered
- they were very thorough (verging on intrusive)
in the checks/ interviews they did but the would-be
fosterers accepted that because it was a childs
welfare.!!
We will see how the story progresses.
A further point- as Faye tho now 13 was presumably
under 13 at the time sexual.intercourse took place
- she is deemed under latest laws in England Wales
&N Ireland to be unable to give consent.
If the male is 10 or over - then he could be charged
with rape or unlawful sexual intercourse
dependent on circs.
Its very complicated -so I hope some thorough
research by qualified persons has been done!

I think even the best of parents would struggle to keep their children from being sexually active these days. With all the pressure on girls i do not know how they cope with it all. I do agree that Social servces did not do the right checks on Anna though. That was during the time she was with Eddie Windass which makes it even more amazing. However Faye wants to be with Anna so she must be doing something right...or its more than what she had before so she is clinging on to it.

I think Faye just doesnt want to go back into
care. That and an abusive neglectful mother are
her only experiences of life til now.
She doesnt have the confidence of a normal
family life where most children know that tho
there may disagreements etc with your parents-
they will stand by you.
My main issue with Anna being allowed to
foster is not the criminal fringes of the family
( which is bad.)but her personality. She is almost
the exact opposite of the qualities said to be
required. They usually interview people who
have known fosterer for a considerable time.
I dont think she is a balanced enough person
to have care of someone with Fayes history.
Being too controlling can be as abusive as
neglect -in a way.
Probably does ensure clean clothes & meals
tho!
The sexualisation of children is a big problem
and it is difficult for parents-but Anna might
have spotted some more obvious signs if
she didnt spend so much time interferimg/
commenting in matters not her business.

I'm very surprised that Anna hasn't asked Faye if she wants to keep the baby. I know I wouldn't be making that assumption in her position.
I'm so glad Kirk's decided to press charges on Owen (no doubt after being given a kick up the backside by Beth). As usual, everyone else's to blame but him!
I like what we've seen so far out Eileen's new man. They seem well suited and have chemistry, neither of which was true of her last few conquests. I did think he might take the chance to escape when he went to the loo though... :D

I think her fear of Anna and Owen's predictable response probably frightened her into irrational thoughts. It does happen even in real life

I think Anna can be quite selfish sometimes and here she is taking charge for Faye
I would like to see Jackson and his family try for custody of the baby

anna is faye's mother
But Faye is the baby's mother despite being a child herself. The decision must ultimately be hers not Anna's.
anna thinks she knows best as always
should the cops and social workers be present for jackson and his family meeting

I think they should get a DNA test done and then the parents cannot ignore theor sons part in the matter. I think they were in shock and denial and scared and lashing out. The father at the beginning was ready to believe it. It was the mother who was doing the protecting son bit. In the scenes where Anna takes the baby to school Jackson is present and I think laughing. Not sure he gets to shoulder his share of responsibility in the matter.
OK scrap the idea of Jackson's family having custody of the baby. What a nice family they are... :thumbsdow
Tim loves her so much it'd be cruel to take her away now. He knows he can redeem himself for abandoning Faye by helping care for the baby. Maybe if Faye decides she doesn't want to be a mum, Tim and Sally could adopt her? We never see Faye holding her so I guess she's avoiding it as much as possible. Maybe she'll grow to love her though.
I found the last scene rather strange. Izzy was sympathetic towards Owen but then said something along the lines of him bringing it all upon himself. I agree but it jarred with her earlier words.
To insist on a DNA test they would need to go to the police I feel? They can't force Jackson to have a sample taken.
So to involve the police in a case of Jackson ( a minor) having sex with a minor?

Faye was under 13 at time of sexual intercourse
so that is now a criminal.offence as a girl under
13 is not deemed leagally competent to give
consent. Therefore it is not consensual even if
she says she agreed.
But a male 10+ can be charged with rape or
sexual.assault.I ve no idea whether in practice
they would be charged -but possiblity is there.
There is "confidentiality" when dealing with
under age sex eg counsellors but the advice is
the confidentiality dosent automatically override
other factors where they exist.
Which is why as I said in an earlier post that
I hope some thorough research has been done

I was thinking that too. Yet another guilt trip that will be laid on Faye. (Not deliberately, but she'll feel that way all the same and it'll make her even less inclined to love the baby.)
Anna was totally unbearable (and overbearing) at that meeting! :angry:
It seems the police haven't followed up on the initial interview yet. I hope it will happen because I'm sure they'd try harder to get to the bottom of it in real life.
The row between Anna and Owen felt very true to life. I'm sure we've all been there when an argument escalates and years of resentments come tumbling out. I've hated Owen and was glad to hear he was leaving but he's redeemed himself slightly by listening to Faye recently.
If only they'd made Owen more likeable I think the actor would have stayed (from what I've read). I've always liked him in other parts and felt it was a shame Owen was such a repulsive bully a lot of the time, as he could have been a tough character but one who was enjoyable to watch if written better.
Hate to admit this but I am enjoying Toxic Traceyluv at the moment. Her one liners and complete disregard for everyone else has me in stiches.
I'm even more astonished to find myself agreeing with you (to a degree) Alan! Tracy's been written really well recently and her barbed one-liners are always entertaining. Kate Ford has excellent comic timing but I'm afraid I still find her dramatic acting less than convincing. I usually enjoy her scenes with Todd and found the way she wriggled out of his blackmail attempt to be clever and entertaining.
I don't like the way Liz has been changed into a user for the affair storyline! I was under the impression she really loved Tony until now. :searchme:
TL;DR: Anna's unbearable, Owen won't be missed, Tracy's surprisingly watchable at the moment and Liz is annoying! :D
I want Jim McDonald back on the street, wasn't he meant to come back??

Fayes just not being given time to adjust
after months of secrecy and worry.
Too much pressure when you think how
much care (scans etc) and advice most
pregnant women get-and she is still a child
herself.
Its all about what others mainly Anna think
best and want-not much thought for Faye
or baby.
I think fostering (as long as Anna not involved)
would be a good idea - as it would give
Faye a chance to consider options without
irrevocable decisions. There should be
opportunities for Faye to visit baby -if she
wished meanwhile.
But from reading spoilers it looks like
Anna will get worse at least short term
and I dont think fostering the baby out
will fit Mr Blackburns vision of "family"

Callum suddenly spending all his time on the street is quite bizarre. I'm sure there are several high-tech gyms that someone like him would find appealing closer to his home than Kal's dingy gym.
Sarah and Bethany staying at the Platt house is utterly ridiculous but I don't think the writers are even trying to justify it to be honest. There's no point going there as there's no justification at all. They want the two of them on the street to be interacting constantly with other characters so that's what we get - even though it defies all logic! :D
To be honest, I don't mind either issues as I find all three characters interesting and am glad they're spending all their time in Coronation Street to liven it up. :)
They cram in a lot of people in all of the houses on the street. The Nazirs, Eileen, Anna and Owen etc and when Erica stays at the pub space majically appears.

I don't blame her for disliking David to be honest. Last time they lived together he was an absolute nightmare. She understandably hated him then, especially when he hid ecstasy in Bethany's teddy bear. Didn't the youngster nearly swallow some of it?
Starting a relationship with Callum (the drug dealer!) is just plain stupid of course. :wall:

Anna told Owen not to have anything to do with Faye, and then later the same day complains that he's abandoning her. She seems to have caught David's amnesia (who threw Kylie out then subsequently moaned that she'd abandoned them). :angry:

I don't blame her for disliking David to be honest. Last time they lived together he was an absolute nightmare. She understandably hated him then, especially when he hid ecstasy in Bethany's teddy bear. Didn't the youngster nearly swallow some of it?
Starting a relationship with Callum (the drug dealer!) is just plain stupid of course. :wall:
Anna told Owen not to have anything to do with Faye, and then later the same day complains that he's abandoning her. She seems to have caught David's amnesia (who threw Kylie out then subsequently moaned that she'd abandoned them). :angry:
Better the devil you know that the one you don't I think for Sarah

Owen's going to Portugal.
I think I must have zoned out during Tracy and Tony's scenes in Monday's episodes because I cannot for the life of me remember them deciding to buy a pub together. :searchme:
It's really annoying me that Liz and Steve are taking Tony for granted all of a sudden. A classic case of personality transplantitis to further a storyline methinks. It's making me want Tracy and Tony to succeed in wresting the pub from them! :wall:
So Faye and Gary all of a sudden love Owen and will miss him… :hmm:

Since we all know that Anne Kirkbride has died in real life, and that the whole Corrie team were probably still grief-stricken about her death when the current episodes were filmed, I think we can forgive them for not mentioning Deirdre at the moment.
I don't think there's any need to keep repeating that her family and friends have spoken to her on the phone anyway. We can use our common sense and realise that it's supposed to still be happening until we're told differently.
As for staying with Bev...the writers didn't know poor Anne was dying when they came up with that excuse. They probably thought her absence would last for a couple of months at most. :(

Re Dierdres absence- I think the writers did the
best they could in very difficult circs.
Once the situation becomes public knowledge
I think most regular viewers can accept delays
and things not quite adding up -out of respect
for real-life family.
Some posters have commented that Jim Brannnings
funeral in EE was overshadowed by Stans. But I
thought may John Bardons family may have
requested the screen funeral be low-key as they
have actually lost him and been thru a funeral.
Whereas Timothy West is thankfully still with us.

I'll remember Owen most for his bullying and all round unreasonable behaviour. He treated Gary appallingly up until recently, constantly sniping about him being a loser etc. Faye being upset at him leaving was probably realistic but I can't remember them having an affectionate relationship so I must admit I was surprised last night.

I would agree about Owen & Gary . Re Faye -
shes had so little stability in her life -even
"losing" Owen probably matters more to
her than it would to another child.
Being better than Anna isnt much of a
compliment -just a some improvement.

True Owen was a bully but I will miss him, well played by Ian, shame he never got payback and revenge on Phelan
Sometimes he was dead right about Gary being a loser too imo :D

How will Izzy cope now on her own there with Jake

He said something along the lines that he was leaving his van with another mate who lived near the airport while he was in Portugal (I think :o).
There was no mentioned of poor Jake at all!

I really enjoyed last night's David-heavy episodes. I don't know how the people acting opposite him keep a straight face at his witticisms. I'm happy he knows the truth about Andy because he's already spicing up the plot. His remark about knowing Gavin's age because he'd seen it on his headstone was classic. :D
I also liked Nick reminding him how twisted he can be! :D
Tim mentioning Miley Cyrus' "twerping" was also very funny. Talking of "Miley", I expected Anna and Tim to react in horror when Faye announced the baby's name. Instead they were as unphased as if she'd said something completely nondescript lol.

I do like Bethany though as I find her funny. Her acting isn't the greatest but it'll probably improve given some time (hopefully).
I'm undecided about Sarah at the moment, but anyone who causes conflict for David can't be all bad in my opinion. :D

I like David a lot these days! :) One of the best(if not THE best!) characters in Corrie with Roy, Carla, Craig,Beth, Tim, Sally, Steve, Eileen, Todd, Sean&Billy..! I'm surprised I found that many! :D
I've liked this mutual winding up between him and Callum, but don't like what happened last night Callum threatening to beat up David. I hope Kylie would appear from behind the corner. Those Callum's mates are not scary though..
Gail shouting is awful suffering for my ears!!! :D
There's just too much happening in the Platt's house at the moment..Bethany&Sarah should have been left in Italy-didn't miss them at all..bad decision to bring them back.
I like Roy's new friendship idea-we'll see how it'll grow. Sean&Billy are lovely together. And although I do like Todd's and Tracy's friendship and he has got this funny side too, I don't like him constantly trying to stir trouble(his mum's dating the latest..)And yes-Anna was totally unreasonable (AGAIN!). She wanted Owen just to hang around but didn't want anything to do with him! What a selfish bitch! Would have been better if she had gone to Portugal(for good!) and Owen and Tim and Sally would have brought up Faye's baby with her. I'm dissappointed the way they destroyed Windass/Armstrong family-I used to like them a lot. Corrie is very good at making stupid decisions. They would need some good strong families now to keep it going when they have sort of lost the Barlow family.:( Ken is just walking around talking to Audrey at the moment..what is this friendship thing? I hope they are not plannin to put them two together? And I still hope that Tracy would totally change when the news of her mom Deidre will break. I would like to see how much she misses her mom.To really hit her.

Why didn't Michael throw Gandy (saw than on another forum board found it funny) his birthday party in the Bistro?
As David said what age is he 5 :p
Steph called Andy Gandy when she first found out about his real persona and David asked him if he was 8, I think
I can't decide if we're meant to take Callum's gang seriously or not. I hope not because his two sidekicks are about as scary as Kermit and Miss Piggy. Callum himself can be quite menacing though why they didn't give him a couple of heavies as sidekicks I don't know.
I thought threatening to torture Andy was pretty dark for before the watershed. :eek:
Although I'm not a fan of Sean I thought his and Billy's declaration of love was quite sweet. What I don't get is why Billy's fallen for Sean. The former's intelligent and sensitive (and believably acted) whereas the latter is shallow and annoying (and poorly acted). The same could be said of Sean's relationship with Marcus of course, but I find his current relationship even more unlikely.
The party at the Platts looked like fun… :p
And I still hope that Tracy would totally change when the news of her mom Deidre will break. I would like to see how much she misses her mom.To really hit her.
Wouldn't it be good if her mother's death led to some real character growth for Tracy? I'm not holding out any hopes though. :wall:
I have always liked Sean and I think Billy and Sean make a great couple :D and Tracy will never change .. I hope she does not get her hands on the Rover or if she does, she will fall flat on her face and it will very quickly get back into Liz, Michelle and Steve's hands!!!

I don't feel sorry for David but I agree about Sarah. Much as I find Bethany funny, her behaviour is appalling and it's down to Sarah's lack of parenting.

I agree about Sarah not being suited to being a barmaid at the Rovers. It seems like the kind of job she'd look down her nose at after her supposedly high-flying job in Milan. Maybe she'd fit in better at the Bistro?
I also agree about granddad Tim and the curry night, but I'd lose all respect for the character of Carla if she ever gave Peter a second chance! I think she and Nick have good chemistry so a relationship between them could work. It seems to have been forgotten that Nick is supposed to be quite a bit younger than Carla, although he actually looks older than her (not that it makes any difference to their relationship).
