must have missed zeedan leaving running the gym for to be a chef
i didn't get leanne being so mad at carla, is she still blaming her for fire
No, I didn't get that either ! Something to do with Peter.?
does emily not need a visa or shots
must have missed zeedan leaving running the gym for to be a chef
It all happened in one episode. I think you'd remember it if you saw it because it was pretty contrived and cringeworthy. Still, I think it was a good move for the character.

I thought she was angry at Carla's treatment of Nick (forgetting his birthday). She still resents her for the Peter affair of course.

She doesn't need shots. If she's just visiting Peru she wouldn't need a visa either. But as she is apparently going to work there for some months - albeit voluntary - I would have thought she did.

By the way, I've been to Peru twice. It's a really lovely country, the people are really friendly and the scenery is stunning. The culture and history - and local food! - is amazing. I've been to a quite a few countries round the world on holiday and to visit but Peru is my absolute favourite. Emily will love it.
I am watching the 50 best double acts and Jack and Vera have just been voted. It has made me realise just how funny and how wonderful the scripts were and how great those two were.

It always make me smile when I see the Bistro in CS, always busy and bustling with lots of customers. I must book a table at Nicks Bistro in a run down area in Weatherfield in a back street. It amazes me that in the factory workers can afford to eat and drink there. They must be on the minimum wage! I suppose the Bistro is a good contrast to the Rovers.

I'm sick of watching Carla sipping that red wine constantly..! Does she ever drink water?? Or do anything else..?

Yawn , zzzzzzzz and we know what is going to happen next. In the whole of a city like Manchester Robert happens to come across her is the casino and not only that sits next to her . Now that is stretching believability a bit too far .
it is the same destructive storyline always for carla yawn yawn

While self-destructive people like Carla tend to react that way to stressors, it doesn't half get boring and repetitive to watch the same scenes play out every couple of months. The Corrie team might as well save themselves some money and actually show the same scenes on a loop. :wall:
Hands up who got a bit teary eyed when Norris called Emily the bravest person he knows. *raises hand*
I don't envy Roy his moral dilemma...

So sick of Neasa and Ken and messed up Carla again

I hope we have not seen the last of Emily. Eileen is taking 6 months off? I did think her exit was lovely and Norris did bring a tear to my eye. I did feel sorry for him eating his supper alone.

People seem to come from far and wide, as well as the residents and it is always packed . Groups, hen nights and the like.. Does Nick advertise then ? So where does everybody who comes to Nick's park ? There is never a car in sight.
Manchester is a beautiful city with lots of lovely restaurants and multi story car parks so I do wonder why anyone would then travel a few miles from the city centre to Weatherfield to sample the delights of Nicks Bistro.

It makes me cross when scriptwriters insult us with their storylines that they think we have forgotten. Mary was waxing lyrical about her adventures when travelling in Apapulco and South America etc when we all know that she spent her life trying to get away from her invalid and domineering mother's clutches and looked after her for all her adult life. Where did all this travelling come from .........another thing ......where the hell is her camper van?

Mary's always had an unlikely tale to tell about any given situation. As they're done for comic effect I don't take them too seriously. I see them as a mixture of fantasy and exaggeration. It sounds like she was a deeply lonely child, and I wonder if she started making up stories to comfort herself?
As for the camper van, my guess would be she's in no hurry to claim it because she much prefers to live at Dev's. She's never mentioned having to buy new clothes etc so perhaps she was allowed to remove her belongings from the van at some point?
Who can afford to just write off a camper van ???? Surely she could have just come to an arrangement of paying so much a month. That way she still has a claim on it . This way it will just get sold by the Council. Madness.

mary is too preoccupied now with getting her leg over with brendan, dev im sure would lend the money to release the van to her

She might have claimed it and parked it somewhere. Or perhaps she's sold it since she would have had to live in a caravan park. This is all guesswork because nothing's been said on screen.
Corrie writers have a habit of leaving out details - like when Carla didn't buy half the pub after all.

Did anyone notice the tax disc on Woody tonight when Roy and Nessa went to Cathy's house. Can one opt to have a disc? I didn't think so. I thought that discs had been abolished

The DVLA has always insisted that the so-called “historic vehicles” still need to be “taxed” – that is, registered and displaying a “nil value” tax disc. Even though tax discs are being scrapped, historic vehicles will need to be registered so they show up in police systems. Not sure whether Woody falls into this category but maybe ???

It still needs to be registered annually but there's no longer a disc to display. My car still had its old tax disc on display because I keep forgetting to remove it. :o No doubt lots of people are the same, although Roy isn't really the type to be so remiss.
I wish Johnny would leave now his family all hate him. However, no doubt he'll stick around so that Liz can comfort him... :p
I wonder if that's the last we've seen of Rob?
I'm not sure why Robert won't leave Carla alone and is even threatening her now! Maybe he and Tracy are well suited after all! :hmm:
wow what a change in robert very threatening to carla
liz should butt out and worry about her own family like missing steve
carla should talked to aidan kate and johnny at their flat or hers not in back of pub with liz and michelle and all pub preying for a nose

I love Carla and Roy scenes
I don't care about either Neasa or Cathy anymore or new best mates Anna and Erica
I do enjoy Todd with Tracy and now his teacher Amy :p
Aidan did well in his scenes angry at Johnny and missing his mother
I was surprised at how Robert was with Carla, what was that about not so Mr. nice after all

I love Todd and admittedly he works well with Tracy. He needs to get a decent storyline of his own though.

Beards are in fashion, but I wouldn't fancy kissing a man with one. Talk about painful... :p
Why are most men in soaps too spineless to finish relationships? I thought what Anna did was cruel (although I admit to laughing), but it less cruel than Kevin leading the poor woman on.
Ken's got no right to judge Nessa's affair, although he has said he doesn't think his and Nessa's relationship will last much longer. I don't understand why he doesn't just dump her now if he feels that way! I'm surprised to say Nessa's grown on me a bit recently. She's absolutely fine when she isn't being written as Audrey's nemesis and being ultra irritating. I wonder if the character will stick around after her relationship is done?
I don't really blame Cathy for being angry about Roy's deception, but I hope she soon realises he was railroaded by Nessa and forgives him. I thought having a go at him in public was out of order. I feel sorry for Roy. :(
He didn't have the letter for long, only whilst he was thinking what to do and she should realise that he was only trying to protect her .
It was more than that though. He'd agreed (although under pressure) to help steal and dispose of the letters. It was the wrong thing to do, but it was out of character for him, which Cathy will hopefully realise.

I agree, holding on to the letter for a short time was not her problem, it is the devious way of getting other letters that Cathy is upset about, quite rightly so, although I hope she can forgive Roy soon
If he had given her the letter she may have said that he could have spared her and left her to her good memories. You cannot win in these situations. He should have left the letter in the draw and told her she needed to go through it herself.

I quite enjoyed tonights double bill, even Sophie was bearable. Loved her line about being there when Kevin tells Sally about Anna. :D
The Roy/Carla scenes are always quality and a joy to watch and I have really warmed to Cathy. If any actor was meant to be on the cobbles then it has got to be Melanie Hill. A perfect fit. :)
i find anna and kevin not a good fit and match
Thank you Corrie for Ken remembering Deirdre and finishing with Nessa :bow:
I think it was more that Ken just couldn't stand another minute in Nessa's self-obsessed company. I had to laugh when she made the fire all about herself! He'll no doubt be sniffing after Audrey before very long. :wall:
I'm going to miss Nessa in a strange way (I'm assuming she's gone for good). I think her larger than life personality would fit into Corrie very well if they'd just tone down her more annoying traits.
Roy and Cathy were sweet... :wub:

Their relationship feels very contrived, especially since Anna's personality has done another u-turn and reverted back to earth mother mode (as opposed to screeching martyr mode).

I know you shouldn't compare soaps and all that mullarkey, but when you watch the likes of Fizz and Tyrone and then watch Shabnam and Kush in EE there is a gigantic difference in acting ability. The Hope storyline is good, if it was given to the right actors. I know you couldn't really throw anymore sorrow onto the Platts, but that storyline would have been great with David and Kylie.
When Tyrone was kicking hell out the vending machine and the hoo hah with the porter (who I thought looked like a relative of John Stape) walked off to 'The Monkey Ward'. How appropriate. Tyrone reminds me of a monkey. That porter did seem a bit creepy when he said Hope Stape. Perhaps he is John Stapes brother???? :hmm:

I did Dazzle. Thanks. I have corrected it now. :D
Yes that was funny re Jamie Oliver. But I know what she means sort of, I always thought he could do with a good wash, he looks a bit grubby to me. Sal's Broccoli bake just looked like chunks of Broccoli, poor Faye. :(
Jamie Oliver may seem a bit 'common' but I thought that's always been his idea - to make real food that's meant to be shared and enjoyed, not any overpriced fancy restaurant dishes with a spoonful of food and some sprinkled sauce on the top! I've always loved Jamie's cooking style and programmes - very realistic and relaxed. Common in a good way.

The acting in tonight's CS was dire and that's saying something. This proves they should not have given this storyline of Hope to Fizz and Tyrone. It's really poor, it really is. Not CS finest hour.

Best part of the episode was Roy (pricking his sausages) and sadly he won't be in the show now for a few weeks. :( The rest of the two episodes were not up to much, you could have easily squeezed the best bits into one 22 minute episode. The storyline with Nick and Robert was ropey to say the least. Would Nick agree to Roberts demands???

A bottle of wine?
I'm ashamed to say it but I'm beginning to warm to Anna and Kevin. :o However, wasn't she a tad premature in announcing to Faye they think they have a future together?
Carla being dragged down the street was an effective stunt, and I noticed Robert had tears in his eyes when he was leaning over her in the street. Tracy won't be pleased! I don't really understand why Carla was so intent on turning the one night stand into an even bigger deal than it was though. :wall:
It's a shame the Phelan reveal wasn't kept out of the spoilers. Why can't Corrie surprise us sometimes in the same way that EastEnders does?
what had carla in her handbag so important
I think it was her engagement ring. She took it off and put it in her bag to stop the thugs seeing and taking it.
A bottle of wine?
Her engagement ring which she put in there before he was trying to snatch it .

It was ridiculous that Izzy should have to get a babysitter to come round to Anna's when there was nothing stopping the latter quickly popping over to Izzy's.
How contrived is Gail's sudden desire for under floor heating? Who thinks of having major building work done (on a cleaner's wage no less) when a portable heater would suffice? And what mother wouldn't keep her son company in hospital when his fiancee is fighting for her life? :wall:
Moan out of the way, I did enjoy the episode, particularly Sally's scenes. She's quickly becoming the saviour of Coronation Street in my eyes. I hope she does become a councillor because I'm looking forward to seeing her rub everyone up the wrong way. :D
Phelan makes my skin crawl but there's no doubt he's an effective villain. Anna needs to own up to Kevin straight away. Phelan is the far more guilty party for blackmailing her into sex, and she ought to know by now that nothing stays secret for long if you live in Coronation Street. :p
is it wrong but to me anna has tonnes more chemistry with phelan than kevin

Probably because the actress isnt acting!
Ok Gail's granny annex has a solid concrete floor. Now I'm no builder but how do you go 'under' that for heating??
Surely you fit a wood or laminate floor with the heating below that.....over the concrete?. Or tiles that are heated from below???
And how when Izzy in her electric and presumably heavy wheelchair get up the stairs to Anna's flat?
parkerman
21-01-2016, 09:33
As Dazzle said, why can't Gail just put a heater in her room? Or, as sarah says, if she is going for under floor heating, I would think laying under floor heated tiles would be the answer. Certainly not digging up a concrete floor. It would need some heat to get through that...unless she is going to do away with the concrete altogether and let the room sink gently into the earth!
And how when Izzy in her electric and presumably heavy wheelchair get up the stairs to Anna's flat?
There's a stair lift that Owen put in when they moved to the flat.

That's how it came across to me. He seems to be genuinely in love with Tracy though.

wow a stair lift that takes her chair or just her? cos that would be some stairwell......

It takes just her. She leaves her big wheelchair downstairs and there's a lighter weight one kept upstairs for her. You could see the stairlift behind Anna when Phelan accosted her at her front door last night.
Anna to Izzy, the full version: "I know you'll have to arrange for, and pay, a babysitter, but could you do that and get yourself round here in your wheelchair please, so I can just plonk my fully able body on the sofa and wait for you to heave yourself up on the chairlift? Yes, something's happened, and although I could easy toddle the few yards round to your place, I've been standing up at work all day, while you've been sitting down!"

Couldn't agree more, ff. The same old stories keep getting regurgitated over and over again, getting worse each time.
As someone who has been involved in Council elections for more years than I care to remember - even with some success on the odd occasion! - I'll be interested to see how realistic the story about Sally standing for Council will be.

That's true. CS is deffo the weakest soap at the moment. Doesn't help that all the actors/actresses seem to be leaving or are on the extended break..! I mean, Steve has been away now for ages, Pete left, Lloyd and Andrea, Julie..even Nessa-she was annoying but funny. Roy goes for a break..Carla threatening to leave for good..

I think the actor who plays Alex does well at portraying a young man with Down's Syndrome - which is exactly what's being asked of him. We can't have the same expectations of someone with a learning disability.
What does annoy me about having Alex around is the way some of the other actors around him talk down to him. :thumbsdow

The character of Alex gets patronised by all of the other characters, it's hard to watch.

I'm glad Todd's got himself involved. Firstly, because he needs more to do than tend Tracy's lady garden :D and also because Jason needs someone to watch his back.
I'm wondering if this is the beginning of Jason's exit storyline, which I seem to recall reading would involve the Websters?
I don't get Kevin and Anna at all! He won't listen to her even though he's well aware she's distressed and not telling him everything. Anna should dump him; they've only been together five minutes and she could save herself all this grief. They're already acting like a long term couple though. It's all feeling very contrived and plot-driven to me. :wall:

I think if Kevin had shut up and listened the first time Anna was ready to tell him, she would have told him the whole truth but Kevin interrupted her and said that Phelan had told him the whole story about Owen and Gary and the business ... was clear that Phelan had never mentioned him blackmailing Anna because Kevin would surely have had a different attitude. I guess you are right that Anna has now lost the nerve to tell him

Indeed! As I said to my wife, "That's not how a 999 call for an ambulance goes." It was complete nonsense. Also, how did he know so quickly she was that unwell that she needed an ambulance.
While on a Ken and Audrey theme, his hair cut didn't last long!:lol:
Yes thats what i thought. How could he tell she was an ambulance case she looked upset not ill
Yes they ask a lot of questions normally very frustrating when you want them to get to you fast. I rang them once when i was first on the scene of a massive car crash. They kept asking all these questions that i could not answer and i got so angry with them as as child was in a mangled car.
I thought exactly the same as the rest of you that Audrey looked upset and not in need of an ambulance. I must admit I thought her declaration of love was quite sweet though. :o
I noticed a joke was made about Gail patronising Alex. I wonder if that was a bit of self-awareness by the Corrie team?
Why don't soap characters go to their bedrooms for some guaranteed privacy when they're in the mood for some hanky panky? What's even worse is when characters who live with their parents go at it in communal rooms (or, even more cringeworthy, parents who live with their children!) :eek: All the soaps are guilty of this! :wall:

Yes, thank you, Perdy. it's the Maria connection. Aren't they living in Audrey's flat?
Luke's friendship with Audrey dates back to before he started seeing Maria. I can't remember the details, but I think Audrey was in a car accident and became fearful of driving. Luke found out about it (possibly because he was hanging around the salon because he fancied Maria) and took Audrey out driving several times until she regained her confidence. She took quite a shine to him if I remember correctly.
I don't think the friendship has been referenced since then though.
Mary: "Mother still won't eat bananas in public!" :lol:
I'm glad Mary's eyes have been opened about the sleazy Brendan. Nice talk that Erica gave her at the end. I feel like Erica is starting to find her place on the street at last.
I'm glad Anna's threatened to dump Kevin. It's not realistic she'd stay with him in such a new relationship when he keeps dismissing her distress about Phelan. I know she refuses to tell him the extent of Phelan's wrongdoings, but Kevin is well aware she's holding back.
Nice to see Kevin was able be rational about Jenny's illness. I thought his attitude was perfect for someone decent who also knows what's it's like to lose a child (and the writers actually remembered it this time!) but who understandably can't quite forgive her.

She treated Jenny well over the years and
Jenny behaved like...Jenny! And threw back in

But Rita is old enough to know that you

worth buying and cant be trusted!
However things develop it will be for story
purposes- not realism.
Possibly Rita due her annual story.!

Rita was very sympathetic when she heard Jenny's son had died and that's why she kidnapped Jack. She understands Jenny was mentally ill at the time.

They have done absolutely no research at all into Council elections or, if they have, they've completely ignored what they've found.
1. Just because a Councillor has been accused of fraud doesn't mean he would automatically lose his seat.
2. OK, let's say he resigned. It seemed from what Ken said that the "resignation" had just happened, so they'd have to wait for the Returning Officer to send out an official notice of the vacancy and then wait for two or more electors to call a by-election.
But, above all....
3. If a vacancy occurs this close to an actual election there would not be a by-election and the vacancy would just be carried until then.
Your knowledge puts the Corrie scriptwriters to shame, parkerman! :bow: :)
Coronation Street has turned into Judgemental Street yet again. Nary a month goes by without most of the residents ganging up on someone innocent(ish). I wish they'd change the record! Still, at least this time the true victim of Jenny's breakdown, Kevin, is behaving decently.
Sally used to be good friends with Jenny so her callous attitude is doubly ridiculous. She needs to be taken down a peg or two hundred when she's in judge, jury and executioner mode, so I wasn't sorry that Jenny threatened her. The latter is obviously still a villain even when sane. I wonder what havoc she'll wreak this time? I hope Rita's not in the firing line. :(
I'm beginning to hope Sally doesn't win the election. She's already intolerable and l dread the monster that would be created if she won. Luckily for us, she's got no chance unless Ken manages to tame and educate her. Perhaps Jenny will find a way to sabotage her?
I'm liking the slavery storyline already. Eva's a good character to get involved I think. Her appalled reaction to the girl's story was very convincing.

Mary: "Amongst you all, the corpses of dead relationships must lie ten deep." :lol:
I wish Mary was used for more than just comic relief. Patti Clare is an excellent actress who commands the screen when she's in full flow.
Well.Dazzle -I agree strongly with your comments
about Mary ( and Eva)
And of course Parkermans comments about local
elections are based on actual knowledge!
Re Sally -not decided -Jennys involvement clouds
things??
The only point of Jenny is to be "nasty"!
Unfortunately she has not progressed beyond her
first stint as a teenager in Corrie. She is meant to
be a40+ woman but the acting/ writing does not
reflect that.
And I do wish they would not" tag tragedies" onto
unpleasant characters to try to redeem them!
Imo- it doesnt work and insults those who have
experienced such a tragedy.Especially when acting
poo
So all set for more more glossing over parts with.
Jenny being predictably boring-but thats my
choice!
Perhaps Kevin is the one with sense on this occasion-
He sees her for what she is and realises theres no
point in invoolvement?

Your knowledge puts the Corrie scriptwriters to shame, parkerman! :bow: :)
Coronation Street has turned into Judgemental Street yet again. Nary a month goes by without most of the residents ganging up on someone innocent(ish). I wish they'd change the record! Still, at least this time the true victim of Jenny's breakdown, Kevin, is behaving decently.
Sally used to be good friends with Jenny so her callous attitude is doubly ridiculous. She needs to be taken down a peg or two hundred when she's in judge, jury and executioner mode, so I wasn't sorry that Jenny threatened her. The latter is obviously still a villain even when sane. I wonder what havoc she'll wreak this time? I hope Rita's not in the firing line. :(

My complaints about Jenny's treatment aren't made out of sympathy for her in particular (especially now her true colours have been revealed) but out of frustration at the vilification of someone who - as far as most of the people involved are concerned - only acted the way she did last time because she was ill.
Rita and Kevin understand the situation, but Sally (Jenny's former friend) has no sympathy with the loss of a child and resultant mental illness.
It was just the same when Steve was suffering depression and had the accident. The lack of understanding and judgmental attitudes of some of the residents (who've known and respected him for years) was beyond belief. It's the same old cliche of condemning the innocent that Corrie dusts off with depressing regularity. Carla was the last victim. Of course, this being Corrie, Carla's accusers were deafeningly silent when Tracy was revealed as the true culprit. :wall:
I'm glad we agree on Mary and Eva, maidmarian! :)

I do agree about the condenmation and judgements
( probably dates from Ena Sharples days)!!
A traditition.!! A lot of the long term characters
know.about Jennys history! And will assume guilt as
current viewers probably would about Tracy now!
But innocent til proven guilty-
However unlikely!!! Rita will.probably be a victim again!
Was very sorry for Steve and did post so at the time)
& also Carla!! And Tracy - what she has got away with!!
Its just Jenny is not believable to me -in the role !
But no more on the subject!
Its a forum.for a variety of opinions!!:):)
Loved Sally's face when Ken mentioned the word 'manifesto' . She hadn't got a clue what it meant !
Of course Beth is going to find the £10 in a pocket. So,so predictable.

Yes, that maybe what the Jenny story is leading to.
However, in the REAL world, Sally would not stand a cat in you-know-where's chance of winning the election. She has to be standing as an independent which means no party machine behind her and, as we've seen, she's just got a ramshackle outfit to back her. I don't know how big the ward she's standing in is but it would be much bigger than just Coronation Street and adjacent streets. She would be completely unknown throughout most of it and would have to get round every house leafletting, canvassing, etc. etc. to get herself and her views known. That ain't gonna happen in the arbitrary four week period Corrie seems to have set for this by-election campaign.:wall:
Also voters would see right through Sally. I have'nt seen the last two episodes but can imagine what happened. Always rushing with plots.

I do see your point about Jenny anyway. However, the standard of some of the acting on Corrie is so poor that perhaps Sally Ann Matthews appears better to me by comparison!

Sally has turned into one right old nasty c*w. I love funny Sally, but they have got to be careful turning her nasty, as Sally is not like that, snobbish, even waspish, but not plain nasty. No.

I might be totally wrong (I often am :o), but I'm sure I recall Sally being just as nasty on other occasions (Sophie coming out as a lesbian springs to mind). That side of her character has been toned down in recent years, however, and it's annoying to see it resurface.

Everyone has nasty moments inc Sally.
I think Rosie was always her favourite because
she was more lively-Sophie always moany
( rather than a sexuality issue) could be wrong!
Recently theyve made her more funny
and likeable( with Tim) so her current
behaviour in this silly election story stands out
even more.
At one time I did wonder if she would
develop into a latter day Annie Walker?!:rotfl:

Yes that was funny with Sally sticking up for Jenny.
I thought it was a bit rich Eileen having ago at Anna with her track record and who is she shaggin, family fortunes Michael Rodwell.
It was a bit ground hog day on CS tonight what with Simon and Leanne. It was bit third rate tonight, which is a shame because the last couple of episodes have improved.
Re Irene ,Owen bullied her so its no shock shes not team Owen, anyway, I have a Phelan shes to be Pats new squeeze...come on Irene. (over songs are available)
Ken re Simon, his step daughter convicted of murder, he didnt care, hes always going to shrug off violence etc, saves him an easy life.

[QUOTE=tammyy2j;842711]You are right :p but seriously everyone on the street knows Owen lost his business and home because of Phelan and they side with him
The actress playing Anna put in a very "strange"
performance throughout the period when her
ordeal with Phelan was happening and didnt (to
me) seem to convey the repulsion 99%+ women
in that position would feel .!!
It wasnt just 1 episode - so there was time
to develop it.
Ive no idea why- bad acting / story going to be written
with different e-nding - until actor playing Owen
decided to leave - or what ???
I think that may be why there is the indifference
to Annas story. She doesnt attract sympathy
bacause of her own behaviour / acting.
Its no good having a strong storyline if the actor
cant convey their feelings to the viewers-
Fayes story would have been much better with
another actress? as the mother figure.
The actress playing Anna comes across to me as
knowing better than everyone else in interviews etc.
re Owen - he was very unpleasnt at the start but
did mellow - was kinder to Faye than Anna and
built bridges with his own daughters!

But isnt he in lurv- thats always more important

Anna should tell Kevin and seriously everyone on Phelan's side despite knowing Anna longer come on Eileen :angry:
The whole thing's ridiculous! :angry:
I know Anna's an unlikable character, and I've done more than my fair share of complaining about her myself, but Phelan is just so much worse in every possible way that my sympathies lie with Anna in this particular instance. What he did to her was outrageous and, like any victim of abuse (because that's what sexual coercion is), she feels too ashamed and guilty to confess all.
The Anna/Kevin aspect of the Phelan storyline isn't working for me either. I think the couple should have been together for at last six months before their relationship was tested like this.
At it is, Kevin's totally dismissive of Anna's concerns (and remember he's known her for years) and takes a known conman's word over her's. As Kevin sees it, Anna's all of a sudden become an unstable nightmare who throws wild accusations at innocent employees of his. They've been together for all of a few weeks and haven't exchanged declarations of love, so why on earth are they still together after what must seen like totally unreasonable behaviour from each other? :searchme:
I do think Phelan conning Jason (and also Kevin if Anna wasn't involved) is potentially a good storyline though.
Alex Bain is totally convincing as a nightmare teenager. I know because I had one of my own a decade ago! :o
(She wasn't violent I hasten to add, and has long since grown out of it.)

I dont tnink anyone would reserve their sympathy
for only real people / characters that tbey liked in
cases of sexual abuse. Its far too repugnant a matter
for that.
You have mentioned other strands in the story
that are weakly written etc and I would agree with
your comments.
But for whatever reasons at the time of acting
the scenes of coersion between Anna & Phelan
were not acted well. Also is it not a Directors
job to ensure scenes flow and are cohesive.
Anna was not needing to.hide any thing at stage?
And performances should have been corrected
then -so that later stages of story would be
realistic.
To me -its another important storyline- where
the wrong person was allowed too much
freedom at an early stage. So the message is
lost and the prejudices of surface thinkers
are fed. Soaps should be more responsible
and take the whole story view

To be honest, I can't remember the acting or all of the details because the whole thing made me feel so nauseous. It doesn't surprise me to hear it was neither written, directed or acted well though! :wall:
I do remember Anna hid the initial harassment because she felt she needed to keep Phelan onside for Owen's sake, was afraid of how Owen would react if he found out, and I think because she thought she could handle it.

I know this is true from the "hilarious" jokes I've read on other sites about how much Anna enjoyed the sex with Phelan. :angry:

So pleased Leanne went to the Police. Simon had it coming.
I thought Sally standing for council would be funny, but it is jarring with me a bit. I am liking Erica now she has settled in and isn't just Liz's friend.
Evil Tracey Luv just does not cut it for me. Kate Ford is a poor man's Charlie Brooks and Emma Atkins.
Anna´s comment: Tim and Kevin wearing a t-shirt: Sally .. Been There, Done That :rotfl:
think tim needs to dump sally, god she has become so annoying not funny anymore
Sally always gets her comeuppance when she goes too far ... she won´t be elected or if she does, she won´t be able to stick it for long but she needs to stay with Tim, they make a great couple, much better than her and Kevin :D

The only reason we have 'Preston Petals' is so itv can make a load of money out of product placements. It does not matter how hideous or stupid it actually is so long as the money rolls in. What next? Will Norris have a Staner stair lift fitted for when Emily gets back? or Old Mcdonald Liz McMutton having New Zealand Lamb on the Menu in Betty's Hotpot? May be Dev can have Pucka Pukka Pies at the Kebab place? :angry:
Simon is a really bad actor, I do wish they would not give him such prominent roles. He needs to go to acting school. In our house we want him to be sent down for 20 years lol

Comments on tonight's episodes:
1. Were the police going to take Simon away for questioning without a responsible adult? Ken turned up by chance; supposing he hadn't?
2. Why did Beth and Kirk go back to the Bistro?
3. Why was Nick so concerned about an Evironmental Health inspection?
4. Izzy seems to have suddenly become much worse. No sign of this acute pain before. Why doesn't she go back to her doctor and tell him/her that the pain is worse and see what they can do?
5. This Sally story is just complete nonsense and totally ridiculous.
On the plus side.....
6. Kylie was brilliant.
I could'nt understand why Kylie and David were treating Beth like that. She has suffereddue to their carelessness. If i were Beth i would have said wait to hear from my solicitor after their attitude.
I thought that when police were draggng off simon on his own. That is not proper procedure i am sure. She should have gone with them rather than act as if she was about to wave them off. I think they should try and create some reality by adhering to proper procedures never mind their daft storylines. I think they think we are brainless.....

As I commented a few pages back, I have experience of an angry nightmare of a teenager and Alex Bain's portrayal is very authentic. OK, he overacts sometimes, but as Leanne said: "He's just a kid".
Welcome to SoapBoards by the way! :)
3. Why was Nick so concerned about an Evironmental Health inspection?
I was thinking that! What had he got to hide I wonder? Maybe last night's rat droppings had yet to be cleaned up... :sick:

It got worse when she fell out of her wheelchair and dislocated her hip last week. I supposed she'd already been told she's on the maximum dose and been refused more? I don't think she could have worked in that state in reality.
5. This Sally story is just complete nonsense and totally ridiculous.
Agreed. I guess we're meant to be finding it funny and in theory it ought to be. I'm not sure why it's not working... :hmm:

They were out of order, but in their defence they'd witnessed Beth being extremely rude to Nick. However, they should have treated her with kid gloves for Audrey's sake if nothing else.
Beth while being the injured party seemed set on destroying others lives over it. In real life she would be barred from all hairdressers and eatery's in the area. Yes it was Davids fault but dont mess with the lady who has already offt her ex and he is now rotting under Gails bed.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that. I don't think the doctor would refuse to help any more though. Do we know if she has been referred to the pain clinic at any time?

Police dragging Simon into the car???! Unbelievable!
He's only 12-and really not THAT bad..! Surely it would have been handled with child protection services, not physically like that??!
There should have been a conversation where they would have explained the situation to Simon and they could have taken him in for questioning themselves. Frightening enough for most 12 year olds, including Simon.
Really unrealistic scenes. Maybe in America, but not here..

I've no doubt you're finding it a lot more irritating than I am since you're an expert on council elections. The detail is going over my head to be absolutely honest (so I'm glad we have you to point out errors :)), but the personal side isn't working for me.
Perhaps the writers don't know whether to treat the storyline seriously or as a comedy? I'm finding her too ignorant and bigheaded to be funny. I agree that she'll be unbearable if she actually wins! :ninja:

I'm a fan too. Jack always kills the one-liners and I enjoy the character of David whether he's in jester, loving father or psycho mode (and everything in between). One of the few actors on Corrie who can overcome bad writing.
