Carla was spot on in her words to Sarah Louise about Callum, he is only out to wind up David
Friday's episodes were sooo enjoyable. The script was chock full of very funny witticisms. My personal highlight was the mention of one of my favourite TV shows - Hannibal. And yes, Hannibal does make Eddie Izzard eat his own legs! :sick: :DAlso, Beth talking about Carla "getting a whiff of" Sinead's knickers! :rotfl:
Then there was Tim's "You mean I let my chips go cold for nothing?" and Sally's "They're just jealous of my conservatory". :D
I like the twist of Erica being pregnant but I hope it doesn't put the kibosh on Nick and Carla's enjoyable fledgling romance. A nice, normal relationship would be good for both characters I think.
Carla was spot on in her words to Sarah Louise about Callum, he is only out to wind up David
I don't know, I actually think he does really like her and that winding up David's just an added bonus. I'm definitely in the minority with that opinion though! :D
The Jenny storyline is intriguing as Sally Ann Matthews plays her so well, she is really taken with little Jack a lot more so that Kevin
I love how Jenny's mood changes by the second and how she always turns on the waterworks as soon as Kevin appears. She's definitely a bit insane but in an entertaining way. :D
callum don't care for sarah his smirk that he will get to david when she said she will tell said a lot, i still think camp callum fancies david :p

I don't think Callum genuinely likes Sarah Louise, she is a bit fun to him plus it will wind up David which he loves doing
Anyone find Callum retreating from Nick in pub back garden very vampire ish :p did he just vanish

I must admit I didn't notice Callum vanishing but I do think Sean Ward would make a brilliant vampire with his edgy good looks and very fair skin. :ninja:
callum now is bryan from taken, sarah can see his true colours and still happy to drop her drawers for him stupid girl
anyone else think leanne seemed jealous nick is going to be a daddy with erika

David got a black cab and when he got out it was a white minicab. Best bit was Amy she is the best of the child actors. Turning down the chance to be a bridesmaid. So funny

And they weren't any of Steve cabs either :p
Why is Nick or anyone afraid of Callum and given how he acted around David and Nick I don't he cares one ounce for Sarah Louise

Perhaps he got a cab to the station and then another one when he got to Liverpool as the 2nd cab was a Liverpool cab.

That would be the obvious explanation. Im sure it would be cheaper than a taxi from Weatherfield to Liverpool. Keen eyed viewers may also have noticed the name on the door of the white minicab. Liverpool Limos.
Fairly obvious reason why he didnt take a Streetcar.

Yes that does make sense :p
I wish Sarah Louise would go back to Milan or anywhere, I don't mind Bethany so much now and I like her scenes with David and Nick, she seems to gel with the family more than Sarah Louise
I loved Nick's remark that David always makes the wrong choice! :D
Sarah's a glutton for punishment if she carries on seeing Callum after that aggressive display last night.
Poor Mary! Todd's gone too far in picking on her. She can be pretty wily (not to say obsessive) so I hope she gets her own back on him.
I love Steve's little doggie friend! I hope he keeps her.
I am surprised Norris never complained about the motor home. Has Julie lost a lot of weight or is her hair longer i cannot make out what is different about her. All the street having a go at her ....nicely builds up to Brians return and her leaving. Hope he agrees that they can adopt/foster
I thought too that she looks as if she lost a lot of weight and I think her hair is a lot longer too
does mary live full time in her motor home?

Again last night Callum was aggressive with Sarah Louise and how can he just burst in when ever he wants to David's house, she is an idiot for going with him, I thought when she was defending him to him to Gail she sounded on his side more than David's :mad:

It's not being written at all well is it?
Sarah happily dating Callum is stretching credibility to breaking point. She doesn't seem any more than minimally guilty at the havoc it's wreaking. It'd help if the pair had sizzling chemistry and we could see her struggling to resist him, but she doesn't even seem that enthused about him. When Nick revealed the relationship to Gail, Sarah justifying the relationship was about as animated as if she were discussing the weekly shop!
Then there's that thing Callum does where he grabs Sarah's head when he's not happy with her. A confident and worldly young woman would not put up with that from a man she's just started dating! What are the writers thinking??? :wall:
Also, sensible Billy ready to give up his vocation, livelihood and home for a shallow man he's known a couple of months! Words fail... :thumbsdow
The only believable relationship in last night's episode was Steve and his little bat-eared canine friend. They're so cute together that I'll be upset if they split! Now there's real chemistry for you! :wub:
Many people have given up their job, homes and family for love .. many holiday romances ...some survived but sadly a lot fail in the reality of life after the holiday

Very true, and I admit to behaving very impetuously myself in my youth. Let's just say I didn't find the Billy's willingness to give up everything for Sean very convincing.
poor david, he knows he is losing max
Mary left her mobile home without even so much as a handbag. But was getting drunk in the pub ....maybe it was all free

Aww…I felt sorry for David last night. I don't usually sympathise with him - despite him being a favourite character - because he brings his troubles on himself, but he looked really despairing last night. The situation would be very different if he hadn't driven Kylie away of course. :wall:
Thank goodness he kicked Sarah and Bethany out at last. David needs to find his inner demon again!
Who's Tracey kidding that she wouldn't like Tony if he didn't have a conscience? :rotfl:
Do I detect chemistry between Billy and Todd? The latter could do with a partner who could bring out his nice side again. I didn't care for his threats to the vulnerable Mary one bit. :angry:

When is Mary going to realise it was Todd who called the council on her, his threat to her was more like an admission of guilt
Does Callum have car seats for kids in his car?
Nick should not take in Sarah Louise and Bethany either
if callum really wanted max why not just take him in liverpool, it is all about david for him he even drove him back :p

David is currently Max's guardian. I don't see how Callum could say he abducted him.
david took his passport and with a custody hearing coming up callum would have a good case for arrest of david
Callum has only made contact with Max a couple of months ago, David has proven to provide a reasonably stable home for him and can do with all the family support around him. How is Callum going to do that? I hope the court will look at that too and what about Lily? She is Max's sister and they have lived together since she was born ... please don't tear this family apart!!!

I agree with Parkerman. David can't abduct Max as his stepfather and guardian. Callum didn't get the police involved - despite his bluster - because he didn't have a leg to stand on. The passports are meaningless and Callum had no proof David had taken them anyway.
I'm positive Callum does care about Max (in his own limited way). He didn't take Max from Liverpool because it would have harmed his custody case. If it's all about David there's a lot easier ways for him to wind up him up than going to the trouble of mediation and a court case which will cost thousands in legal fees.

It's complicated by David's history of instability and violence, and the fact that Callum's very clever. He twisted the mediator around his little finger.

Are they not allowed to go on holiday? David and Max are not under house arrest until the hearing.

I hope David gets to keep Max, I think he is the better dad to him but Callum does like to wind up David
...Callum does like to wind up David
He sure does, there's no doubt about that. :D

why was callum threatening going to the cops so if he had no valid case gail was worried as was nick

They knew David was planning to run away with the kids but, if David denied it and told the police they were going on holiday, I don't think the police could have stopped him without some kind of court order (but I admit my knowledge of the law is a bit sketchy).
I guess the family were worried because they knew that it was detrimental to the custody case for David to run away with the kids, and they were also worried about his state of mind (with good cause!).
Edited to add: perhaps the fact that there's a custody case ongoing makes a difference, but I still fail to see how the police could stop David taking Max on holiday.
still think callum only interested in david :p no real genuine love for max all showy with presents but no love

I agree, Callum's feelings for Max don't run very deep, but I do think he does care in his own way (or at least thinks he does) because I can't see why else he'd be trying to get custody.
Also I remember reading an interview with Sean Ward in which he said Callum would fall in love with his son when he started spending time with him. I agree it doesn't really come through though. Is that the fault of the acting or the writing I wonder?
what was the stupid nonsense about the rubbish bins, gosh this soap really is in trouble
sean don't seem as keen or loved up and into billy as billy is to him
now anna is glad to go back to roy for work, who will mind faye's baby, tim

Glad we had an episode without Sarah or Bethany today. Agree the bin thing was stupid although i have only known people to have two different colour bins it seems as Manchester have taken it to another level which would confuse residents. Anna gave up her job and so she should as she was determined to look after the baby against Fayes wishes. Her dramatic scenes in school get rewarded when they should'nt ....when Jackson has a change of heart. All very unfair on Faye who still does not want to raise a baby.

what was the stupid nonsense about the rubbish bins
I liked the bin running gag. It's real life to place great importance on mundane domestic issues and soaps often forget that. Plus everyone must have experienced the confusion of not knowing which bin to put out! :D
sean don't seem as keen or loved up and into billy as billy is to him
I agree Sean doesn't seem that into Billy and his pity party about the pretence was really hypocritical since Billy was all set to resign for his sake.
now anna is glad to go back to roy for work, who will mind faye's baby, tim
I'm guessing she expects Faye to since she's not at school. We've never seen Anna apologise to Roy for her spiteful behaviour after Roy beat Gary! :angry:
I like Eileen's new man even if he isn't as glamorous as Jeff in Dubai... :p

I agree, it was the best bit of the two episodes. When in doubt look at Emily. It did make me chuckle. CS does the mundane so well (and that is a compliment) better than any other show, this is one of its strengths. Julie and Kevin were also funny. :)
Faye saying Anna need not have worried as she can look after herself. Its not Faye she was worried about being looked after its was the baby!
I dislike Anna more and more..I wish it was her who left and not Owen. He would have been far better raising up Faye and baby as he's done it once already(two kids actually).
I still don't get it why they didn't see fostering or adoption as an option? Fostering would have been more widely approved by viewers than fostering I know..I suppose Corrie tries to be 'educational' once again..pointing out how difficult it is for a teenager to become a mom.(!?)
Yes-I was expecting Anna to finally apologize Roy..but oh no..! Awful bitch (sorry..)

What was the point of Tony setting up the thugs in the pub? Why didn't anyone rush to help Liz? There seemed to be plenty of people in there.

Corrie are making Leanne and Sophie very happy with their partners at the moment so that any loss from the fire will be even more devastating.

I thought Jim McDonald was supposed to come back???
He did come back for a short time, when Steve visited him in prison a few times and they had the booze storyline with Peter, don't think he was meant to be back for long but it would be great if he came back long term :D
I know Jim was back-but I thought he was meant to come back for good??..I would love to see Tony's face if he came back now!! :D
no matter what anna does, faye don't want miley
What will happen is i think the jacksons will step in and the child care issues will be miraculously resolved. Maybe they will offer to take full responsibility. Hope so.

I agree- the thing that concerns me is -
that the actress who plays Anna( who
is a mother in real life) says when imterviewed
that she thinks Annas behaviour is
accepatable and how she would react if
in that situation!!
I know when they give these interviews they
have to stick to the tv company line- but
in this case-I think its a too much!

Anna was cruel at the school to Faye, I felt sorry for her
Anna went too far!
Yes, the way Anna spoke to Faye in front of her school friends was completely outrageous! :angry:
The thing is I'd have some sympathy with Anna if she wasn't such a martyr. Looking after a baby is one of the hardest jobs going, especially when you're no longer young. But Anna's allowed Faye no say in her own baby's future then complains and screeches when she's disinterested. Anna can't have it all ways: if Faye doesn't love the baby then she needs to take full responsibility for her - or consider other options.
She got what she wanted in the end - everyone feeling sorry for her and rallying around her as if she were the victim and not the architect of the situation. :wall:

I like feisty Leanne a lot but thought that scene where she went berserk over Zeedan being sacked was ludicrous. They're not even close! http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-rolleye-smileys-323.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/facebook-smileys.html)

Agree Anna was horrible especiallycomment about before 'taking her knickers off.' I was shocked. It is emotional abuse. Faye should have said she never wanted the responsibility. Or taken her baby to the school offices and told them what happened. That way she would have got some help. Love granddad Tim and reluctant grandma sally.
Leanne was over the top .....a very stupid storyline. Simon at fault for skiving and getting in the way

I personally think Steve's dog is the new star of Corrie! Her little face when she was begging for a walk was adorable. :wub:
I'm quite embarrassed to admit that after all my whingeing about Michelle she's quite grown on me lately. Just think a few months ago she (along with Liz) would have been nagging poor Steve to death about getting rid of the dog. Please Corrie team don't regress her again! :nono:
So all of David's psycho behaviour's come back to haunt him. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/happy/smileys-happy-514478.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/) I'd be glad if it wasn't that Max will suffer for it.

After all my raving about Steve's dog, I've discovered she's actually Simon Gregson's dog (called Cookie) in real life. No wonder they've got such great chemistry! :wub:

Buying into a pub isn't a good idea for Carla, she is never without a drink :p she too had a drink problem like Peter this seems to be forgotten about now
Steve and Michelle have sold their shares to Travis Ltd already
I think Steve preferred some alone time with his dog than a stag night booze up
Steve and Michelle have sold their shares to Travis Ltd already
Carla wants to buy Liz's share.
It felt to me like that episode was hastily rewritten to cover Simon Gregson's absence (I seem to remember reading there was a panic when he was off sick a couple of months or so ago).
I think Lloyd's scenes with Tyrone were probably originally written with Steve instead, and the scene with him and Michelle at the end was inserted later. It's a shame because I'd have enjoyed seeing Steve and Lloyd singing drunkenly on the ship (and both being unwitting stowaways)! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/happy/smileys-happy-514478.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

Really enjoyed last night's Corrie. It's always nice to see Tracey suffering and I'm looking forward to seeing how she wreaks her revenge. She really is a spoiled, entitled cow isn't she? http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/happy/smileys-happy-514478.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
I can't wait for next week's episodes. The tension has been ramped up nicely in several plot threads so there should be plenty of drama - and hopefully some unexpected twists.

Because I thought be was shocked when he
found out later. Someone might have told

I think you're right about Jason not remembering until he saw the picture in the paper. :D
About this cafe of Roys he lets people work in it without any food hygiene certificate, is it not against the law to cook and sell food without that? His friend from the allottment was just given work.
Anyway I watched the soap awards. I agree Eastenders deserved all the awards they got. But best partnership should have been Sally and Tim!

I think Adam Woodyatt and Laurie Brett won it for EE because they were so fantastic during the conclusion of the Lucy murder storyline (particularly the live episode), but my overall favourite soap couple are definitely Corrie's Sally and Tim.

Although David was there, hiding .. and he was so tearful :(
Poor David, he is a good better dad to Max
Did Callum take Max's medicine or even ask David about it?
I hope Callum gets to understand its not easy to care for Max and that he understands how much David has done for him. Not having his wife around and still looking after Max shows he loves him. Another person would have given up by now. i mean Callum is just making him hyper feeding him junk. He will probably do that each weekend. My friends ex husband gives the children cake for breakfast when he has them weekends.

yes candles which tracy left light in flat to start the fire
Excellent confrontation between Carla and Tracey in Rover's toilets. I wasn't keen on Carla for many years but I've come around to her now she's less of a bitch. Alison King always acts her socks off and Carla makes Tracey look like the one-dimensional panto villain she is.
So the fire's an accident! I suspected it might be given all the publicity about Tracey starting it, but it was a bit of an anti-climax to say the least.
Hopefully things will hot up in tomorrow's episode! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-695223.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

Tracy started the fire-we know it and she knows it-but she made it look like it was an accident so if she can deal with her guilt no one will never know..What a bitch she is.!!!
I'm just worried that no one thinks of Amy as Steve and Michelle are on the honeymoon(very strange that they were not on their own wedding reception???), Liz has too much going on with Tony and Tracy doesn't even know Amy is in Carla's flat. In a way it would be the ultimate punishment for Tracy if her own daughter got killed by the fire she started herself. But I doubt that will happen.
Yes-it couldn't have been made more obvious that Kal and Maddie are dying.
Tim and Sally did the same thing before-it wasn't funny on the second time..

She started the fire by placing the candle too close to the lampshade but I don't think she did this on purpose, she was distracted by the photo of Rob. I don't think she realised that Amy was in the apartment, she would never have risked the life of her daughter and if she wanted to kill Carla, she could have done easily with the award.
Steve and Michelle left to go on honeymoon, a last minute arrangement by Liz who did not want Tracy to have the opportunity to spoil things by revealing her affair with Tony and her nearly getting the pub to them and the guests, which is why they were not at the reception. :)
She definitely did it on purpose. She first placed the candle on the table but then looked back and moved the candle just under the lampshade. If she didn't mean to do it, why didn't she blow out the candle before leaving?? Obviously she didn't want to kill Carla with the statue(she killed Charlie Stubbs and ended up in prison), she would have been found out eventually. So she wanted to make it look like an accident. But if she lost her daughter now it would be the ultimate punishment like said- for her selfishness and her bad temper and for everything she's ever done to hurt anyone. Funny thing is she said to Carla something about ' whats the point lighting the fuse if you don't stay watching it..' hmmmm..quite telling if Carla remembers that. I just hope Carla (and Amy-for Steve's sake) will survive, don't mind the others..Anna could have gone, wouldn't have missed her.
The reason why Rob's photo was there, was just to wind up Tracy even more..to remind her of what Carla said that Tracy never loved him..which I think was bit harsh because I think she really did love him. I think she's had two men she's ever loved-Steve and Rob. And of course Ken as her dad and Peter as brother.
amy knocked over the photo album and rob's photo came out so she put the lot up on table by lampshade
I know-I saw that, but the writers wrote it so the photo would be there to remind Tracy. Carla didn't put it there deliberately.
It is Carla's flat, Tracy had no business to be in there, should not have seen it, it is normal for a sister to have a photo of her brother about
does leanne go in to save carla or nick and is simon there too
nick, bethany and sarah live next to carla
does leanne go in to save carla or nick and is simon there too
nick, bethany and sarah live next to carla
She definitely did it on purpose. She first placed the candle on the table but then looked back and moved the candle just under the lampshade. If she didn't mean to do it, why didn't she blow out the candle before leaving??
Sorry Mariba, much as I dislike Tracey, putting the candle right under the lampshade was definitely accidental. She looks at the photo of Rob, then slams both the photo and the candle down on the table in fury (and unthinkingly). She doesn't give the candle another thought after that. It's technically Tracey's fault but it's completely accidental.
See it here at about 19:00:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IfOMcSXno
They're not going to kill Amy off in the fire because it would be too harrowing and, anyway, Amy's being built up to be a mini Tracey and the Corrie team aren't going to want to lose that.
I'm sorry Dazzle-we just see it differently. For me-it wasn't accidental, far from it. And next-she'll just have to play to everyone how shocked she'll be. :)
Actually Dazzle, sorry..taking back my words a bit after watching it again. She just lights the candle to see better in the dark(and the Rob's photo), places the candle on the table without looking just to reach for the statue to kill Carla, but changes her mind after hearing noises from next door flat, rushing out and forgetting about the candle! I remembered she moved the candle again to be near the lampshade but I was wrong! So IT IS accidental-she forgot about the candle..I'm so used to seeing Tracy as bad, so couldn't see pass that..Well, now I can actually feel sorry for her for a change! :D Thanks Dazzle for the clip-changed everything! :)

The actress who plays Amy was good in her scenes
I cant see why Leanne would risk her own life leaving Simon alone to save Carla and then Amy, she should have dialled 999 straight away
I liked Roy being caring for Carla but I think him being the hero would have been better, he has nothing to lose after Hayley and he has history with Tracy and Amy
Sally told Kevin not to go in but said nothing to Tim
It is looking like Jenny will kill Maddie or cause her death or serious injury to her and Kal will die in the fire
I think like the mini bus crash this big disaster will end up being a failure too

I think like the mini bus crash this big disaster will end up being a failure too
Unfortunately I have to agree with you both. I was really looking forward to this week but it's been a big anti-climax filled with nonsensical actions and reactions. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-shocked031.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
It was extremely bizarre that the existence of the other tenants of Victoria Court were largely ignored. Why didn't Leanne bang on other doors for help when she was trying to get into Carla's flat, and why did none of the other tenants even notice there was a huge fire and alarms going off? Why didn't the people outside ring the intercom and tell people to evacuate? http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/confused/smileys-confused-630530.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
Also Leanne, Kal and Amy stood in the burning flat and hesitated for what seemed like an eternity! They could breathe relatively easily and didn't even look hot! Carla was in a much worse way after a lot less exposure to the heat and smoke. :wall:
The burning building certainly looked impressive though. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-695223.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
A big showdown between Liz and Tony could have made for riveting viewing but instead we were treated to her smashing a few plates? :searchme:

Good idea - Roy being a hero would have been compelling and unexpected. :clap:

the layout of the streets confused me why would leanne pass carla's flat if she left the pub to go her flat or nazir house for kal who went to get the ring

I think she was looking for Kal at the gym which is somewhere nearby. The layout confuses me too.
Here's a map of the layout of Coronation Street, Rosamund Street and Victoria Street. The gym (V Court Fitness) is opposite the block of flats.
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/docs/press/coronation-street-map.pdf
gym makes sense so it near carla's flat
And now everyone accusing Carla...Liz already did, just waiting for Tracy to attack Carla...I just hope she'll remember the candle or can fire investigators figure it out? If it's not electric/appliances, and Carla says they were in bed, no candles etc...I just hope Tracy feels guilty.
Our smoke alarm goes off as soon as a piece of bread starts to turn a bit black, so it was all a bit nonsensical that there was a raging fire before Carla's did - AND it's deafening, rather than the pathetic alarm clock beep we heard. Now if Calsberg did soap fires .... they wouldn't have as many plot holes as Corrie's!
It was also ridiculous that all men wanted to be heroes! Kal, Kevin, Tim, Zad(or whatever his name is)..
It was also ridiculous that all men wanted to be heroes! Kal, Kevin, Tim, Zad(or whatever his name is)..
Kal's son is called Zeedan and I can imagine most want to see if they can help in any way, even though the firefighters always advise against it
Kal was reluctant but followed Leanne. Zeedan went in there because of his dad.
ok, Jenny had nothing to do with Maddie's injuries
RIP Kal :(

I take back my words for feeling sorry for Tracy. She's a real bitch and I wish they would have got her killed instead.
She's accusing Carla, and that can't be that she wouldn't remember that it was her who lit the candle and left it burning when she left-no matter how distracted she might have been. She did it on purpose-and her faint smile when she came from around the corner and realized that Carla's flat was burning..tells it all. She's just angry now as she realizes that she nearly killed her own daughter and I guess it's easier to put the blame on someone you've decided to hate(for no reason) than on yourself. She couldn't even get Amy down because she felt so guilty. I really wish they would have wiped her off-for good!

And Corrie is going to do the same now as always..ganging up together against one person, and then everyone realizes they are not even guilty and blaa blaa blaa..zzzzzzzz..over and over again the same story.
Tracy does not know its her fault yet. She smiled because it was carlas flat on fire but did not realise it was due to her. She was not thinking where she placed the candle. She rushed out without knowing she put it in a dangerous place
Yes, I am afraid it looks like that will happen .. as per normal

No mariba, swmc is right, Tracy was not thinking about where to place the candle, she saw Rob's photo and put the candle down where she saw space for it to look at the photo ... right now she won't realise that it was the candle that caused the fire ... things will start falling into place once the fire investigators have done their job ...they will establish a candle burning in the flat caused the fire ... I only hope they don't convict Carla and her hiatus from Corrie will be explained by her being imprisoned ...
unless amy saw her in flat or tracy confesses no way to prove her as the firestarter
I doubt Amy saw her as she was asleep, as was Carla ..
I disagree on that one Perdita. No one in their right mind could forget a burning candle when leaving the flat after lighting it up themselves first just couple of minutes earlier.
I hate to see Tracy at all, and when this blame game starts now again where everyone is turning on Carla..I rather not watch Corrie. Will be back for Deirdre's funeral-maybe. I must say-Corrie is getting really boring now, Emmerdale much much better.
ps. That Kal's son could have been killed off as well. Pointless character and always angry constipated(!) :D face.

mariba, believe me, I have put things down and then totally forgot about them ... easily done when your attention is on something else like it was with Tracy and the photo of Rob, she never placed the candle right there for the lampshade to catch fire, she was thinking of Rob and what they had/might have had .. as much as I dislike the character, this time she did not do harm on purpose but by accident
poor kal's army training and fitness instructing didn't help him at all in this fire :p

Why did Leanne take her time going down the ladder and why was Kal just waiting above on the balcony for so long after her :wall:
I think Roy will be all Carla will have now for a while as she is getting the blame
The acting from most was bad with the exception of Roy, Carla, Leanne, Amy and Jenny
Jenny had two black eyes from crying with mascara running down but Kevin didn't ask why?
It was a tense episode last night although I wish I hadn't known Kal would die. At least Maddie being severely injured in the explosion was unexpected.

I don't know what they're doing with Jenny.

Yes I totally agree with Perdita here. It'd be very easy for Tracey to forget lighting the candle given the fraught circumstances. No doubt she'll remember it later. Just because she was pleased to see Carla's flat burning doesn't change the fact it was accidental. Tracey's a notorious bitch who'd like nothing more than to see Carla lose everything so naturally she'd gloat (until she was told about Amy).
I'm sorry Perdita but I think I'm entitled to my opinion the same way as you are to yours..
Perdita hasn't denied you your right to an opinion. Debate and disagreement is part of any forum but at least it's kept civil here unlike on other forums I've visited. :)

Yawn... the whole street blames the wrong person yet again. You'd think the residents would have twigged by now that the prime suspect is never guilty. :wall:
Tracey obviously remembers lighting the candle now and is determined to deflect the blame onto the woman she hates. There was a surprising flicker of guilt about the carnage she inadvertently caused a couple of times but predictably it passed almost instantaneously. :angry: If wonder if it'll secretly haunt her?

It's my experience when tragedies like this happen that people rally round and support ALL the victims. No-one gets blamed as people realise it's an accident.
But this is Coronations Street I suppose, the land of the scapegoat.

She definitely knows she exists as she got Gail's banking password for Lewis, which was Bethany2000. Maybe Kylie was looking for the Katie Redford version :lol:
Bethany does look older than she is but I don't think she looks old enough for Kylie to mistake her as David's girlfriend.
No doubt Sinead will also blame herself when she hears about the candle.

Bethany does look older than she is but I don't think she looks old enough for Kylie to mistake her as David's girlfriend.
My thinking when I said Kylie might think Bethany was David's new girlfriend was that yes, Kylie will have seen pictures of Bethany, but if Bethany was a bit younger in them (say 10 or 12) without a face full of make up, she would look quite different and it might not occur to Kylie who she was at first sight. Also, who studies photos of other people's relatives closely?
Bethany is a 14 year old who can pass for 18 with full make-up (she was served in the pub remember) so I still think she could looks old enough to be David's girlfriend at first glance (he's in his mid twenties).

Maybe it should be renamed Scapegoat Street?

Carla did not request that Leanne run into her flat when its on fire and take her boyfriend with her. She was unconcious. So do not understand why Leanne feels she can shout at carla re the candle incident. Most fires happen because of silly mistakes.
Leanne is in shock and mourning ... people say a lot of hurtful stuff under those circumstances, easy to blame somebody for their loss. Tracy however knows that SHE lit the candle and is responsible for the fire .... I so hope she gets found out in the very near future :angry:
tracy stirred it too for leanne implying drunk carla left lit candle which caused the fire, tracy lit the fire under leanne too so to lash out and blame carla who herself now thinks she is at fault
if this is dragged out long time with tracy being redeemed with her ex husband and mother's death so her part in fire is forgotten about, viewers will be made, fire week wasn't a big hit for the show alot of negativity as very predictable outcome and stupid plot holes

where is tony hiding out
Tony's absence from last week's proceedings was very strange since it was the climax of his long-running storyline with Tracy. I'm wondering if the actor was sick and the surreal scene with Liz smashing up the place was hastily inserted to cover it. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/confused/smileys-confused-630530.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
I hope we get a showdown between Liz and Tony sometime soon as the whole thing feels anti-climactic at the moment.

You're right there! We won't be rid of Tracy any time soon unfortunately. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/yes-and-no/smileys-yes-and-no-084887.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
Even though the fire was an accident, could Tracy be charged with a crime if she admitted lighting the candle (given that she did it whilst in Carla's flat illegally)?

The vindictive way Tracy's stirring the hatred towards Carla is really making her irredeemable, and grief over her mother's death won't change viewers' minds. The writers need Tracy to confess and apologise to Carla (and Kal and Maddie's families) if they want to redeem her for this! :angry:
Tracy has been selfish, wicked, rude and shown absolutely disgraceful behaviour for as long as she has been on Coronation Street, even if she is going to show a different side to her in the wake of Deirdre's death, she will never redeem herself in my eyes :nono:

What is it about Soap producers that they think we all love nasty irredeemable characters and push them down our throats - Tracy in Corrie and Dean in EE for example?

I dont think this is a complete answer (or not
even perhaps a partial one) but I put the
reason down to conceit or unawareness.
They live in a different world to most viewers
& their jobs are valued by ratings and
used to.their opinion being "final".
So when they like/admire or find a character
interesting - they expect the viewers to do
so as well. When sometimes we dont and
thats made clear to them -its put down
to lack of enlightenment on.our parts.
So in a form.of "Nanny knows best".the
message is repeated and the character
is given more -not less-prominence!! which
is counter-productive.
Some "villians" are" liked" by viewers but
they are the well- written ones and are
good actors.Dont expect the world to only
have "naice"people. The producers don't
seem to distinguish between their favourites
and the believable ones.
I admit I couldnt do a tv producer job-
no media/tv qualifications!! but I would
at least listen to opinions other than
own. Their job isnt to be popular but
its not to alienate viewers either.

Agreed. I mentioned the direction in one of my previous posts. The scenes of Leanne, Kal and Amy loitering in the burning flat and on the balcony/ladder were bizarre in my opinion. There was little to no sense of panic in those scenes. :wall:
As I've seen pointed out elsewhere, Kal was a very fit bloke and ex-army so he would have just picked Amy up and ran for it without a second's thought. The mind boggles at Leanne pausing on the ladder for about an hour to blissfully agree to Kal's proposal! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/confused/smileys-confused-140297.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

With the amount of tragedy that has struck that little street over the last 50 years, I think the residents have become a bit used to grim and sad events ... but seriously. people tend to react totally differently to how you would expect in unexpected and frightening situations,, especially when a few get involved in rescue operations :)

Tracy has done so much bad in the past yet she always come out smiling and on top and now is there anyway to prove she lit the candle that started the fire unless she was seen, does the apartment block have cctv

The best part of this week has been the Roy and Carla scenes, love their friendship
The whole fire story was poor. It was a bit of an insult to the fire service and unrealistic. Apparently the delay was because the ring road was closed. Fire control rooms are aware of what is happening in their area. They are directed to avoid closed roads, heavy traffic etc and if the and their control room can see where they are at a particular time. Fire crews would have been sent from other areas if the brigade initially sent had a problem attending. Then of course the following morning before the scene would have even cooled we had a fire scene examiner deciding the cause was a lighted candle. This in a building that was practically gutted and the seat of the fire was the candle which presumably would have melted in the intense heat. It would have taken an extensive forensic investigation to establish the cause. Furthermore someone died so it would have been a crime scene yet no sign of the boys in blue or SOCO/CSI.
As for the Ambulance presumably caught up on the Ring Road too and no motorcyclist available. Spend less money on pyrotechnics and a bit more on research

So Carla, a nice, caring character who provides employment for half of the street, is scapegoated for the fire, so soon after she was scapegoated for Tina's murder. Is someone trying (in a very clumsy way) to say that all "bosses" are inherently evil or at least deserve to be taken down a peg or two? Who writes these script - Ed Milliband?!

I don't think that Carla's profession has anything to do with her being accused of Tina's murder now being responsible for the fire and Kal's death ... more to do with previous storyline of Tracy wanting to marry Rob and Carla spoiling it by telling the police where they can find him... revenge time, Carla could be a cleaner in the Rovers and the storyline would have been the same!

The only reason Carla is being Scapegoated for the fire is because the real culprit Traceyluv is
a; Blaming Carla to take any finger of suspicion from pointing at her
b; Part of Tracyluvs revenge plan for Carla buying 50 of T'Rovers. No left wing plots just plain evil Traceyluv.

If the writers disliked Carla just because she's the boss then they'd write her as unsympathetic (and guilty) in the first place and not go to the lengths of concocting contrived storylines to take her down a peg or two. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/confused/smileys-confused-630530.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

What is happening with Marys motor home, she appears to have given up on it.
The slow reveal that Gavin isn't Michael's son was done very well. I felt very tense knowing it was coming. I'm afraid I was much more invested in that than in Maddie's death (sad though that was).
The scenes in the Platt's after the reveal were excellent and I'm very glad they're not minimising the devastating effect such deceit would have on a person. I also like Michael much more when he's angry - he's far more interesting! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-695223.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/) I wonder if he'll ever forgive Gail and Andy? It seems likely given this is a soap but I'm positive it couldn't be forgiven in real life.

I agree Dazzle, Les Dennis pulled off a very convincing annoyed and devasted and shocked Michael, very well scripted too with the slow reveal of looking at the pictures and it slowly dawning on Michael that something was not right. I wonder whether Gail has just lost another husband for good ... Michael will be around for quite a while yet so will be interesting to see how they will work things out :)

I don't agree it was unintentionally funny. It was farcical but deliberately so. That's par for the course for Platt drama as the writers like to make full use of their comedy skills.

I agree, I was particularly disappointed that Tim seemed almost his usual laid back self when they were back home in Monday's episode. He was quite close to Maddie despite the rocky start to their relationship.
Perdita-you haven't upset me and I'm sure that wasn't your intention so apology accepted. But you see this differently-in my eyes Tracy did it deliberately , she was in that flat to hurt Carla, nothing else. In Tracy's case, there are no accidents, she's a scheming cow-she's always up to no good! And I surely hope she'll be paying for this one. What I don't get, is that Tracy had a plan to go into Carla's flat and kill her, she knew it was dark and she would need light..people usually have a torch these days on their mobile phones?? Surely you would come in prepared, wouldn't you? How could she have known that Carla had a candle(+matches)just waiting for her on the table? :D
I think it's so wrong that Carla is being accused for a second time in such a short period of time, writers don't have much imagination do they?
I just can't watch that..

I don't think Tracy did it deliberately, but that is not to say it was not her fault. It was her careless actions that caused the death of Kal.
The same as someone who falls asleep whilst smoking in bed does not deliberately set themselves on fire. But it is them and nobody else to blame.
Accidents are caused by somebody's carelessness, they don't happen by themselves, but are not intentional.
The perpetrators should still have the finger pointed at them though.
Didn't Tracy run out of Carla's because she heard a toilet being flushed, so she knew someone else was in there.
I wonder why Amy never saw the light when going from the toilet to the bedroom. Don't know the layout of Carla's flat though.
