View Full Version : Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV
Having a HR background I was appalled at the way this was portrayed .. Fiz was not ill but her daughter and I know she said Carla knew but I had not heard her say that she had indeed confided in Carla and from Carla´s behaviour it seems doubtful and also waste of time

Ridiculously contrived and totally plot driven storylines.
Has Elle Mulvaney (Amy) dyed her hair or is it just me?
why do carla and nick drive to work when they live round the corner

Does seem to look a bit darker than normal
why do carla and nick drive to work when they live round the corner
Because they need to attend business meetings and go to wholesalers :p

He offered to but she declined (none too politely).

Yes, they were good scenes. The question is will Carla go to the police, or will Robert beat her to it? I thought he was looking upset enough to do so after talking to Nick.
Nice to see Zeedan supporting both Leanne and Simon.
I'm glad the fact that the Platt house is way too small for them all is finally being addressed. Now they just need to do something about Eileen's houseful of waifs and strays (perhaps a loft conversion?).

Both very likely suggestions - if Carla tells either of them.

Norris could very well know because Tracy recently admitted her guilt very loudly in her back yard. I think he would have gone straight to the police rather than leave it a week though.
Carla tells Michelle and Nick !
It was very satisfying to see Tracy publicly exposed for starting the fire. Nick seems the likeliest candidate for calling the police since he left the Rovers before they arrived - but did he have time to do so?
Perhaps Carla, Michelle or Nick phoned secretly before they left the flat? I can't think of who else could have done it given the timing.

If Corrie is rooted in any sort of reality at all, I would say it has to be Robert or Carla as Tracy told them directly. I can't imagine in the real world that the police would barge into the pub (how did they know Tracy was there?) and arrest Tracy on hearsay evidence from Nick or Michelle. But then this, as we know, is not the real world.....

Its a rare occurence thankfully -but some
people wait a long time to "pay back".
They just cant forget whats happened .and
does happen to thousands of other people every year.
Its very sad when that happens in real life
!!- basically wasted a lot of their life .
In soaps it might be entertaining - but
the grounds for it happening here seem
very specious - but people can harbour
strange thoughts /plans whilst appearing
to get on.with their lives inc remarriage.!!

Was Tracy arrested on Nick calling the police and charged with arson and murder already?
I like the idea of Robert out for revenge on Tracy

She was arrested but hasn't been charged yet. Howver, even just arresting her because Nick phoned the police and told them she'd confessed to someone else is ridiculous. The police would have wanted to question the person she reportedly confessed to first and, even after that, surely they would take Tracy in for questioning but not arrest her.

Even now she knows she didn't start the fire, Carla still turns to her wine
Kirk and his worry for the pizza was funny
I too like maidmarian's theory that Robert's out for revenge on Tracy, but what motivation could he have for convincing Ken of her innocence? Surely he'd do everything in his power to see Tracy charged and convicted?

It's typical Corrie though. Remember, it was only a couple of months ago that Tracy was arrested for receiving stolen goods after a tip-off from Liz. The police arrived shortly afterwards and didn't even have the sense to examine the goods before arresting Tracy and carting her off to the station. Ridiculous!!! :wall:
Even now she knows she didn't start the fire, Carla still turns to her wine
As far as I'm aware, it's realistic that people are still addicted to their drug of choice even when the original stressor is removed. Addictions don't just disappear like magic unfortunately, which is why I hope Carla's gambling habit doesn't conveniently fizzle out now.

1st point- but quote got lost!
no doubt Robert wants Tracy punished -but
not because of Carla - for whatever he has
converted her actions years ago in regard to
himself to be.It could be quite another sort of
punishment- I cant think what at the moment
as I dont think.that way personally-and its not
legal( per SB) !!
i
Regarding his behaviour to Ken - in a way that
fits in with the theory! Ken will think Robert is
fully supportive of Tracy so if/when something
happens Robert is exonarated or not even
suspected!
Its like marital abusers
who abuse their victim physically & mentally
in private -but are charming and considerate
to them in public- therefore defusing the victims
complaints before made or if its mental cruelty
before the person realises whats happening to them fully.
The abuser also charming to friends / family
and people think victim has "wonderful partner"
We dont know much about Robert& Tracys
short marriage- only she had affair but wouldn't
go back when he wanted her to( he appears
morally right on both counts)
These scenarios are rare* but play a long game
and not sure Soaps would give the time.!!
So probably wont down that route?

Thanks for your explanation. I hope you're right that Robert will seek revenge on Tracy. She needs to get her just desserts one way or another... http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/devil/smileys-devil-042296.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

Maybe his revenge relies on her being where he can get at her - so her being in jail wouldn't be an option for him - I think he's around for some very ulterior motive.

Not to mention Tracey's got history of doing things to people when they're asleep - the police do refer to it during questioning.

I'm really liking this theory that there's more to Robert than meets the eye.
Carla's saintliness regarding Tracy causing the fire and getting away with it is getting on my nerves. :angry:
At least she had the sense to question why Robert's with Tracy - as some of our clever forum members have been doing. A subtle hint by the writers that he has a secret agenda? :thumbsup:
All the Callum haters sitting round the table in the Platt house: perhaps foreshadowing a future conspiracy of silence?

Jason chose to intervene so surely even Eileen would have a hard time justifying blaming the Platts? I think it's a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
What surprises me more is that the Platts hired Jason and Tony when they must know they were responsible for Fiz and Tyrone's disastrous loft conversion. That wasn't even mentioned, yet I'm not sure it's common knowledge that the collapse was solely due to Todd's negligence.
On another site I saw people speculating about a Carla and Robert hookup after the lingering look she gave him at the end of Friday's second episode. However, I'm pretty sure that Carla was just questioning what he sees in Tracy given our recent discussion about Robert possibly having a secret agenda. She seems to genuinely love Nick at the moment anyway.

I think it became common knowledge that Todd was responsible for the collapse of the loft conversation, from what I remember, but even if it did not, grudges don´t last long in soap land. I too think that Robert must have an agenda after he discussed with Ken that Tracy confessed her involvement in the fire in order to save Carla from committing suicide.. I sincerely hope that a witness or some CCTV footage will show that Carla is telling the truth and Tracy will be found out as the liar she is ... what happened to the turning over of a leaf for her? :hmm:

The producer made a big point when.introducing
story that tho no legal punishment -Tracy would
fundamentally change and it would be life- changing
etc for her and the story go on well into Autumn.
Well - not much sign so.far.
As Corrie is such a small enclave- in real life
people would be much less accepting than they
seem to be.Its not like she lives streets away!!
Tracy would be ostracised in such a small area.
2 small points-
Its been mentioned due for change of producer
soon? Is this affecting development of story
perhaps?
And may Robs interventions - from prison-
affect things-he is Carlas brother?

Ken could provide evidence to the fact that Tracy could not have known about him asking Carla to look after Amy that night .. a very strange request at the time, I thought, seeing Ken would have known how Tracy feels about Carla ...but this is soap life, of course. So Tracy saying she would never do anything to hurt Amy (apart from selling her to Roy and Hayley as baby) could be disproven

So sick of Callum and his henchmen and feud with the Platts
At least it was made clear in Monday's episodes that everyone believes Tracy started the fire. I don't think there'll be any more investigation now. Stuart Blackburn said Tracy would get away with it as there's no evidence against her.

Still have not seen a different side to selfish, manipulative Tracy though. I know we all grieve in different ways and while I don´t necessarily want her to be devastated like Eric in Emmerdale by the death of her mother and now being responsible for 2 deaths, her behaviour has only changed a little when she is with Robert which I suspect is more to do with wanting to keep him rather than grief and guilt

Wasn't expecting Eva back quite yet, it was a nice surprise. Something good happening for Leanne for a change.
In fairness, Kylie didn't go to Callum looking for drugs. That's not to say that her stated reason was much better and I do blame her for the Callum situation. There was a part where she said, "Who knows what other rubbish he's given him." If Max had had cancer or something then tracking him and his family down would have been necessary, both to help find a match and out of decency to allow them to say goodbye if it came to it. But ADHD? What good would tracking Callum down actually have done?
I enjoyed Eva's scenes too even though I wasn't expecting to. Loved her sarky comments to Sarah... :D
I can't see Callum not being killed off now because in that classic soap cliché they're making just about everyone possible suspects. Gail and Todd got in on the action in tonight's episode. (Unless it's all a clever ruse to throw us off the scent of the real story.)
I don't agree Liz ruined Tony, but she'd be ruined for me if she ever took the manipulative cheater back. They're both better characters apart.
Anna and her fussing around everyone is annoying me. I really disliked the patronising way she spoke to Kathy's nephew the other day.

Shes just a very unpleasant .person who
wants to.dominate. Her first target is
children followed by adults she ( feels)
she can treat as such.
Anyone with a disability will be high on
the list . Her attitude to Alex and Roy
are similar - the differnce is the degree-
because of his personality - will have
no conception that Roy is a very imtelligent
man-It would not occur to her!
Within any specific disability - the effects on the
people with the condition can vary widely.
To put them all together and speak to them in
same patronising way is offensive
and people still do it but hopefully.the public
is becoming more aware.

He's involved with some serious criminals and they tend to charge enormous amounts of interest on money owed. Perhaps they supplied Callum with drugs on the understanding he'd pay within a certain time and he defaulted?
I suppose he'd ask his mother as a last resort but perhaps she doesn't have £20,000 she can get her hands on?

I suppose he'd ask his mother as a last resort but perhaps she doesn't have £20,000 she can get her hands on?
I think she said 12 hours, but what you say still applies.

It was 12 hours, I just checked on youtube*. No wonder you nearly fell off the sofa hearing 24 hours! :D
To be honest I think even 12 hours is a stretch. She went to the Platt house from her shift at the Rovers. The earliest it could realistically have been was midday and there's no way she didn't wake up until midnight. I remember the family were sitting around wondering why she was so tired, but it didn't seem that late when she finally awoke.

Yes, I hope I'm wrong but it's starting to look like way more trouble than it's going to be worth. The Steve getting wrecked scenes were done to keep him out of the live episode (as per Simon Gregson's request). It must be incredibly stressful for all concerned.
I've got lots more to say about it but I'll put it in another thread because I don't want to mention any spoilers in this thread.
I noticed Michelle offering Andrea a drink too. Hopefully she meant non-alcoholic rather than it being another example of poor continuity...
Roy and Cathy's scenes were good. He seems totally oblivious of her feelings for him, and it was very sad for him to be back in Blackpool without Hayley. :(

I agree live episodes and the hype about them
is getting a bit much.
They will be stressful for any actor with major
role. Most of the soap actors havent the
experience of those who regularly appear in
theatre and are adept at covering mistakes!
Im not sure how they will write the Roy/ Cathy
story longer term and I wouldnt mind if it
became more permanent.
However in real life people with Roys personality
and intelligence are very good at " oblivious"

Has Kylie killed Callum! :eek:
The garage set has been shown so it's going to come into play...
Anyone notice the gas canister?
He might not be dead, just unconscious ... come on Part 2! :D
Maybe Kylie has killed him and she's leaving. There was that article over the weekend about Paula Lane and her husband starting up a drama school.
Although Jack P Shepherd has started one I believe and remained in the show.. hmmm...
loved the Kylie twist!!!!!
I'm really enjoying this! :D
Tony and Todd taking Callum's car! :eek:
Very wise decision to spend so much time on a Roy and Carla deep and meaningful.
I wonder if they'll accidentally bury Callum alive? That would definitely live up to the "dark" hype.

It might be a like a horror film where the baddie/monster unexpectedly comes to life right at the end...
Well, soaps tend to play out similar scenarios and we have just had Ross Barton come back from the dead so I can imagine Callum doing the same ..
Bye Llloyd, I shall miss you :(

I hope so, but I think any big twist would have happened in the live episode. A shot of Callum opening his eyes before being buried by earth would have been extremely dark.
Obviously it's still quite possible he's not dead though.

Well it took several.episodes before we had the
"Ross twist" & what seemed like loads of posts
before Ross returned from his" death and burial".
On that occasion the actor bade us farewell
immediately after his "demise".
The producer said little but from.the" Knowing
Smirk" in the photos I took it she was tipping
us the wink -it had been leg pull. A bit like
DTC warning the viewers wont mind a bit
of a joke- when Bobby wasnt on list of
suspects for killing Lucy!
When I went into thread immediately after
ED programme I was amazed to find that the
general opinion was that Ross was dead!
and posted to that effect. A lot of fans wanted
him not to be; but agreed he probably must be!
And so he remained amidst great controversy
for some time!!
I cant say I found Corrie tonight dark and
and all the other promised things but
it was good generally..But nothing outside
routine Soap voilence. I wondered if having
Tracy so prominently in.Corrie had reminded
them about her biffing Bill over the head
and theyd reused the idea with Kylie!
I doubt ??! they will use the same ruse as ED-
that would be too much ??even for a Soap
and with imminent change of producer.

Disappointed it's yet another cover-up!
Enjoyed Roy and Cathy's story the most.
I don't think Coronation Street could really win with this setup. As it was, it was too much Den Watts and we were disappointed at the lack of a twist / Jason and Tony involvement. Though I can't see them actually getting around to moving the body (Gail finding out he's under her floor will be a classic!) and as the builders, them becoming involved at a later date seems inevitable. Had there been a twist, then it would have been too Ross Barton (though I'd imagine this was written before the Ross situation even arose.)
Surprised that Nick didn't appear in the episode.
having callum's body in the car when tony and todd blew it up would be have been good
1. The man hole looked to have been excavated with all those drilled bits of stone around?
2. David did say he'd move the body tomorrow
3. David locked the manhole with appropriate 'keys' so Callum shouldn't be getting out even if he is alive
4. Tony and Todd's prints etc now all over the car??
5. Where did Kylie find such a handy huge monkey wrench??

4. Tony and Todd's prints etc now all over the car??
What's left of it!
Congratulations to the whole Corrie team for a superb live episode! :thumbsup:
After several hours of digesting it I'm still feeling very positive about it.
I thought David Neilson stole the show as Roy and I absolutely couldn't tell he was acting live. It was an excellent decision to give him such a prominent role in the episode. In my opinion, he was closely followed in the acting stakes by Melanie Hill, Alison King, Jack P Shepherd and Paula Lane. Everyone else was very good too.
As far as mistakes go, I noticed a couple of hesitations and silences that went on for just a beat too long, but nothing worth stressing over.
I'd have liked a final twist in the Callum story but, as others have said, it may yet be to come. The fight between Callum and Sarah, and Kylie's (offscreen) subsequent bashing of him, were very well done and extremely effective, but nowhere near as dark or explosive as we were led to believe. As Lizann has suggested (and I've also seen mentioned elsewhere), I think Callum's body being in the boot of the car when Tony and Todd blew it up would have been a perfect ending for the character.
Still, inevitably very few people will be a hundred percent satisfied with anything, and I think Corrie reached an extremely high standard tonight. Congratulations again to all! :clap:
Surprised that Nick didn't appear in the episode.
He did appear briefly. I think he was with Andy, Steph and Robert in the scene where they were carrying food to the Rovers.
4. Tony and Todd's prints etc now all over the car??
I don't think forensics will be able to recover any prints from the burnt-out shell that'll remain after that explosion! (Ha ha...I just noticed parkerman sneaked in his reply before me! :p)
Was Gail away with Max and Lily at Audrey's place?
Yes.
Will Tony have filled in the manhole by the time David goes back to move the body or even better the body is gone is missing :p
I love the idea of Tony filling the hole in before David has a chance to move the body. There'll always be the potential that Callum escaped the hole alive if that happens.
And just to add, I'm very nervous of the rather overt lascivious glance Tim gave Anna when he first saw her dolled up to the nines in the Rovers. He also seemed a bit too keen for my liking when he asked to stay the night... :eek: :nono: :(

Only noticed Nick on second viewing. I hope the continuity is there in the next episodes (David said that Nick was asking too many questions.)
I don't think Callum's getting out of there even if he is alive. I think you'd need the handle to lift it. I did think I could hear some quiet knocking on it at the end of the episode - although my mum thought it was just to do with the sound because it was live. Either way, I think he's dead, it's just a case of whether he suffocates down there.
David Neilson was great. I felt a bit sorry for Agent Daniel.
Agree with the sentiments re: Anna and Tim. I saw a trailer after the episode which made me even more nervous :sick: I hope Kate Oates knocks this on the head, quickly.

The actors had a choice of whether or not to appear - which is fair enough given it must be quite an ordeal. As well as the episode itself, there've been long hours of intensive rehearsals for weeks on top of the usual schedules.
I agree a few of the minor scenes felt pointless and just inserted to give the actors involved a line, but I don't begrudge them it. Appearing in such a high profile live performance is something to feel proud of and also looks good on their CVs.

I've also watched the episode again and there is one bang. David did have a plug and an extension lead in his hand when he closed the door, so it could have been him throwing them onto one of the work surfaces. On first viewing it just seemed as though it was coming from the manhole as the camera was on it when the bang occurred.
I think it would make it more sinister if Callum hadn't been dead but suffocated down there as he didn't have the strength to force his way out following his injury.
Another thing I want to know is how Tony and Todd were equipped to blow up Callum's car. They definitely took it on an impulse.

Going from my extensive criminal knowledge gained from watching TV (:D), I think stuffing a rag in the opening of the petrol tank and lighting it would be enough to cause an explosion and gut the car. It might not be as extreme in real life as how Callum's car went up though!
I wonder if Tony will be involved in the cover-up. Is the manhole deep enough be filled without noticing the body? David will have a hell of a job if he tries to move the body on his own (assuming it's still there when he next looks).
Going from the Live Uncovered programme, no, they would notice. They could always pretend that it's deeper than it is I suppose. Wouldn't the body start to smell before they came to fill it in though?

Were there any interviews with the actor himself? Here's an interview with Sean Ward about Callum's death and he sounds very genuine. He even says he didn't dare go to any auditions after he'd finished filming the pre-recorded episodes in case word of Callum's death got out, but that now he's free to audition again.

One of the announcements I saw at the time:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/end-ross-barton-emmerdales-michael-6263841
The soap star announced the news on Twitter after devastated fans launched a petition just four days ago to bring his character
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has landed himself a new job.
Taking to his Twitter account, the 29-year-old actor - who became famous playing the late Ross Barton - broke the news to his loyal army of followers on Friday.
He wrote: "Off to London now. Got a new job, can't say what it is but when we start rehearsals I'll let you know."
While some fans were quick to wish him good luck, others were disappointed as the admission seemed to indicate that he would almost certainly never be reprising his on-screen alter-ego Ross.
Thanks for the link Perdita. The only thing I'd say is that Michael Parr had suspiciously little to say for himself whilst Sean Ward is very talkative about Callum's death etc. I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait and see. :)
I think it's clear that Callum's gone, it's just a question of when. As Dazzle said, Sean Ward seemed very genuine. Michael Parr never elaborated on anything as it was obviously a bluff. Looking back, the goodbye video that Michael Parr made did hint that it wasn't final - it wasn't an official video as was the case with the others. He also told people to keep watching which was odd. Why would a departing actor really care whether viewers continued watching? Most viewers these days have their favourites and will re-evaluate their following of the show if they leave. Obviously in Michael's case, he wanted to try to ensure that his fans would be there to see the twist.
It was posted a few weeks ago that Sean Ward had filmed his final scenes, I think. I don't see any reason to distrust that.

I thoroughly enjoyed the amusing but tense scene where he inspected the "annexe" and mentioned rats down the manhole. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/happy/smileys-happy-514478.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
I think we can breathe a sigh of relief that Tim was obviously horrified at the thought of sleeping with Anna... :cheer:
The body of Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan will be staying put at the Platt house in a Brookside-style storyline twist.
Callum's corpse was hidden in a manhole at the Platts' garage earlier this week, after he was killed by Kylie in the show's dramatic live episode.
Kylie, her husband David and sister-in-law Sarah were all involved in the grisly cover-up, intending to move the body as soon as possible.
David knew that dumping Callum's remains in the canal was their best move, but Friday's tense episodes saw his plans thwarted as Jason Grimshaw and Gary Windass poured concrete over the manhole while doing building work.
Jason and Gary have been working on a granny flat for Gail, so it looks like she could soon be sleeping over Callum's body while completely oblivious. :eek:
The plot is reminiscent of the classic Brookside storyline from 1993, which saw evil Trevor Jordache buried under the patio by his wife Mandy and daughter Beth.mBrookside fans waited two years to see Trevor dug up again, but whether Callum stays hidden for that long is anyone's guess.
Channel 4's Hollyoaks will also soon be airing a similar storyline, as a body ends up being hidden in the city wall in the middle of the village.

:ninja:The Trevor Jordache story was very good
and very creepy-but it seemed to go on
for ever. Whenever anyone was in kitchen
in dark evenings - the camera would pan
past them to give a lingering shot of the
back garden and patio - where he was buried:ninja:
But back to Corrie-Im 99.9% convinced
Callum is dead and buried in manhole!
I expect Dazzle was most likely tongue
in cheek when she suggested someone
might have let him out and subbed another
body!!But I bet she given SWs food for thought
for future- especially after the concreting.
And the penchant for retcons!

You're right, I wasn't being serious! However, as you say, with the soap penchant for retcons nothing can be ruled out. :)

I am happy Lloyd and Steve got a goodbye
I'm enjoying the continuing fallout to Callum's death. It seems fairly realistic and all the people involved are behaving in character.
Sarah had a cheek having a go at Kylie when the latter probably saved her life! :angry:
I liked the way the famous quote from Field of Dreams ("If you build it, he will come") was used to inspire Sally to go ahead with the wedding. :D
It was a nice touch to see Roy looking at his photos of Hayley before his first date since her death.
how is david affording conversion and sending gail to see stephen?

Maybe Gail is paying for the conversion and a flight to Milan can be cheap as chips these days
While there's just a thin layer of concrete over the manhole, SURELY there's still chance for David to reunite Sarah with Callum.... PLEASE!

If the local council find out the Platts have carried out the garage conversion, let alone concreting over a manhole cover without building regs and probably planning approval ,your wish may be granted Brucie. As I recall the council got onto Mary's case pretty quickly over the camper van. Surprised Norris hasn't started stirring the pot.

Yes, the fire investigation was concluded early on. It was a candle that caused the fire. How the candle came to be where it was and cause the fire is down to the police investigation rather than the fire investigation.

Child cancer and a murder/manslaughter cover up, perhaps not the best mix of stories for a single episode of Corrie. Helplines are always given at the end and not the start so they had to do it so as for there not to be outrage (I remember a lot of comments when EastEnders failed to show them after the episode in which Ian discovered that Lucy was dead.)
There does seem to be some laziness these days where these helplines are concerned, it's always "the issues" not "insert name's story."

Awww...I knew Tim wouldn't let Sally down. :wub:
I creased myself laughing twice in tonight's episodes. First when Faye thought Sally was sixty! Secondly, when Tim dropped Sally like a sack of spuds. She wasn't even phased about it because she was so happy. :D
More hints of a Kevin and Anna romance...
The new Connors seem good so far, particularly Kate. I'm guessing there'll be lots of tension at the factory from now on. It sounds like Aidan will still work there, but I wonder in what capacity?

years ago to make some jobs sound more
appealing /upmarket!:
So much for Sally's wedding vow that she'd no longer try to change Tim! She's again trying to take his business more upmarket even before they set off on their honeymoon! :D
Kylie should have told Sarah they lied about the body being in the canal. As she said, the less Sarah knows the better so I think it's natural they wouldn't tell her the real location (which of course is what really happened - unbeknownst to Sarah).
Also, why not explain to everyone that Sarah's stressed state is due to fearing Callum turning up at any time? She's got reason enough to fear retribution after Bethany retracted her alibi and it'd be perfectly natural for her to feel terrorised by the thought of him reappearing.
I think the actor who plays Johnny is very good but I'm afraid he shows up some of the weaker actors in his scenes.

I never know when corrie is on. Just missed it as it came on early.
sorry swmc, I was going to put it in shout box that it was early today but then my dogs demanded my attention because a shotgun scared them and I did not get to do it :(
They are, thank you, there are fishing competitions on the beach on a regular basis here in Spain and they start with a starting pistol being fired .... the dogs panic and need me to calm them down again :) Hope you can see the episode on catch-up :)

I liked Tyrone telling Kevin his little girl came first, he does see Hope as his daughter
What kind of idiots are Kylie and David for telling Sarah the truth about Callum's burial place? How do they suppose she's going to act normally in the house knowing he's lying just a few feet away? They could have told her the body was just about anywhere else in and around Manchester. :wall:
The damp patch over the manhole might be a sign there's trouble brewing. If I were in their situation (minus the body of course :D) I wouldn't be happy to carry on with the building work without finding out the cause of the damp.

In real life the actress who plays Kate is with Gareth Gates
if kylie told tony the truth he'd dispose of body and manhole asap, he has means

No wonder they are always eating and drinking in the cafe instead of going to their own homes across the street ... :p
I can't understand why the Platts aren't worried about the damp patch reoccurring or the smell of rotting flesh. I read elsewhere that they did an experiment on Mythbusters with the corpse of a pig encased in concrete, and the rotting smell was soon very apparent. Concrete is porous and there's only a thin layer on top of the manhole cover (which I doubt is airtight). If I was the Platts I'd have been worried sick about this and straight onto the internet to research it.

There some really good one-liners in Wednesday's episode. Another of my favourites was Beth mentioning that Kirk goes through a box of tissues watching Brokeback Mountain! Am I alone in reading something filthy into that? http://i2.cdnds.net/13/49/blush.gif
The writers' thinking must be, 'Oh, EastEnders put a body under the pub 10 years ago. No one noticed until someone dug it up, so it can't smell. It'll be fine.'

Surely they can't have forgotten the body under Underworld? Yes they could have!
After a while i expect it would stop smelling. Just thinking when there is a dead mouse it smells awful and that it so small compared to a human

I thought Todd was going to listen in on Sarah's confession to Billy and put two and two together. I'd have loved it if he'd discovered the secret.
Kate winding up Beth was funny. :D

I think he's already paranoid judging by his reaction when he saw them together on Friday. I like the chemistry between Todd and Billy.
no no no Todd must not find out .. he will use the information to blackmail ... The Platts have enough to deal with without him stirring it ... but obviously, that secret won´t be a secret for much longer .. Billy will be in much demand .. :p
