Why does anybody actually speak to Tracey Luv????
carla should just tell nick instead of letting tracy rule her
Simons s/l makes no sense, the vid showed he didnt kick the guy?? but it must have been a dangerous tackle with verbalised intent and no remorse. Now the brat is acting the victim, well untill he attacks the next guy.
Still dont buy into Shanes acting, he needs to up his game

Why does anybody actually speak to Tracey Luv????
One of the eternal mysteries of Corrie. The writers treat her as if she's living in a parallel universe where people are allowed to get away with cruelty, bullying, sniping, blackmail, violence and even murder with nary a raised eyebrow.
I was also wondering during Monday's episodes why on earth such a weak actress is given so much screen time? Tracy being so heavily involved in dramatic storylines makes Corrie look decidedly amateurish in my opinion.
carla should just tell nick instead of letting tracy rule her
And I think Carla would do just that given what we know of her. It's going to be completely out of character if she allows Tracy to hold such power over her.

I was waiting in vain for someone to tell him all that when he was blaming Leanne for reporting him. He brought it on himself, and needs to be told so in no uncertain terms. If you behave like a thug that's what people will expect of you.

I agree. I did mean to mention this in my list of comments on Friday's episode. I can't see how the video could show that Simon didn't intentionally hurt the other boy. How did he break his leg? It must have been in that tackle, so how could a video prove Simon didn't intend it? Shame we never saw the video ourselves!

Even worse, I felt he was actively undermining her when the three of them were in his lounge.

as an Ex Player 'intent' is the key when a foul occurs. And from the look of rage on Simon's face as he loomed over the boy on the floor, if I had been the referee I'd have said deliberate?
accidently (even when it wasn't lol) you throw your hands up and apologise loudly straight away

I don't know why Leanne is acting so remorseful. What about all the times Simon attacked her? She told the police about those too. He certainly looked like he meant to hurt that boy, and even told Zeedan so.

She feels a failure as mother, probably thinks she is responsible too for having left Peter and therefore added to Simon´s tough life he has had so far

but yet Peter runs away whenever he likes, and just phones up and criticises Leanne?

Tracy admitted to Carla she was in the Bistro during the robbery, can Carla tell the police this but of course like the fire Tracy will get off scot free as usual
yes but Tracey also told the police and Robert she went there, Robert wasn't there to surprise and she left, leaving her phone behind, so has sort of started covering for herself already?
I'm absolutely sick of seeing Tracy by now! I was hoping she would change for bit better after Deirdre died but no, she's got worse! It's so boring-she's not adding anything new, fresh or interesting to the street, it' s all that same bitter spite, that's all she has in her. I wish she would just disappear, I wouldn't miss her. They have to soften her a bit as she's getting far too nasty again and there's nothing new there with this forever ongoing feud between Carla and Tracy..!! I hope if Tracy tells Nick, that Robert would leave tracy. I can imagine he would lose his job as well, and that wouldn't go down too well. Maybe Michelle tells robert how Tracy was blackmailing carla, and he puts her under control.
I hope if Tracy tells Nick, that Robert would leave tracy. I can imagine he would lose his job as well, and that wouldn't go down too well.
I hope Carla realises Robert's partnership with Nick will be in danger if the truth comes out. Tracy has as much to lose as Carla does.
we have seen robert can be cunning himself he could be happy to get his hands on bistro like this

Carla should have been honest with Nick from the start, he can't judge but he would, he slept with his brother's wife
Of course, you go and tell your fiance that you cheated on him at his place of work during busy time :wall:

Possibly, although if I were Nick I'd do everything in my power to get rid of him.
More serious for Tracy is that she stands a very good chance of losing Robert if he discovers she's been blackmailing Carla and risking the truth coming out. He's already left her recently so she should be doing everything in her power to refrain from upsetting him if she really does love him.
Of course, you go and tell your fiance that you cheated on him at his place of work during busy time :wall:
And it wasn't at all predictable that she'd end up not telling him... http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_0100.gif
Carlas counter position should be if you tell Nick the police will want to know why she told them she wasntthere, didnt dial 999 , she had her phone it was found there,plus she had no permission to be there as it was pre Robs buying in.
Then if she tells Nick and David will be gunning for Rob, the black mail will come out
No doubt this will play out over 17 years to the point everybody has forgotten what tts all about.

After the miraculous funding of the flower shop re-fit, I see that Tracy's ability to conjure money out of thin air perpetuates. Robert, who seemingly didn't have a pot to piddle in before he won enough to buy 20% of Nick's Bistro, suddenly has the wherewithal to buy the remaining 80%! I wish she'd show Tyrone where that money tree is growing, so that we might be spared his miserable storyline.
oh anna not phelan very happy

Once again Jack P Shepherd steals the show with a brilliant one liner in a scene he wasn't even really involved in - "This takes me back!"
:cheer::cheer::cheer:
Love Tim, hes really got that something that works on telly, his pairing with Sally is genius.
Oh Anna... drop kick Kev, the man made a baby with his best mates wife, he certainly isnt the owner of a moral compass.
Carla..Tracy is going to tell Nick whatever you do once she has her payment.
I hate the way foul Phelan is worming his way into Eileen and Jason's lives. Did anyone else notice him gazing intently at the "Jason's Construction" sign at one point? He has his sights set on gullible Jason's business as we've speculated. Eileen's even more of a fool for allowing a bit of flirty attention to blind her... :wall:
I had to laugh when Jason called Anna sweet! Has she ever been anything other than hard-faced and bitter? I share her feelings about Phelan though. :thumbsdow
Tim will be great in the taxi office, especially in comedy scenes with Steve (when he returns). It's good to see likeable actor Joe Duttine getting his feet further under the table at Corrie.
I really enjoyed a treacherous Norris gleefully announcing his candidacy to a stunned Sally! :D

I'm afraid the election storyline is not getting any better or any more in touch with reality.
The election was called on or about 5 February as I recall. Nominations are open for six days so Norris is far too late to get a nomination in and, in any case, the returning officer wouldn't have let him have a nomination paper if he was too late. Also, the local newspaper could only refer to someone as a local election candidate after nominations have closed, which they did.
And talking of the local newspaper report, once the by-election has been called, local newspapers operate under strict conditions that they must be fair and impartial in their reporting. They would not be able to give such prominence to one candidate's views on a local issue without obtaining the other candidates' views and making them just as prominent.
I'm going to finish up with apoplexy if this goes on much longer.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg gggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh :angry::wall::thumbsdow

Why is Tracy still interested in Robert when the thought of him and Carla together make her physically sick? Surely that would spring into her mind every time she claps eyes on him Would she not be better off dumping him?? :searchme:
Just saw last few episodes. What a load of rubbish.especially the whole modelling story and Anna acting like a gorilla. Back to my book.

I'm not watching Corrie until Carla leaves-not because of Carla, as she's always been one of my fav characters in Corrie, but because of this stupid feud between her and Tracy. I'm sick of Tracy by now, can't watch her.
Agree Tracy gets too much air time. I was thinkiing to give up until i hear the body gets discovered. In the meantime i will try and get a modelling job!

Umm if you keep doing online loan requests dosent that screw up your experion rating?
Why is Carla still pandering to Tracy luv, when we all know full well Tracy will spill after payment...oh please set a trap Carla, humuliate tracy.
tim telling it straight and honest to kevin
I nearly cheered when Tim had the sense to point out to Kevin what we've all thought numerous times whilst watching Corrie: how ridiculous it is to believe someone you've known five minutes over someone you've known and liked for years. (The bit about Anna being a good woman was taking it a bit far though! Has Tim forgotten how she and Owen treated him when he first turned up on the cobbles? :eek:)
Eileen and Jason still side with Phelan despite the word of two people they know well! :wall:
Why is Carla still pandering to Tracy luv, when we all know full well Tracy will spill after payment...oh please set a trap Carla, humuliate tracy.
Yeah it's so obvious Tracy won't be able to resist spilling the beans one way or another, and she'll be free to do so without any repercussions for her and Robert if they buy the bistro. Carla's been portrayed as savvy and feisty for many years; she has to come out on top if Corrie want to please their viewers!

Alison lucked in getting Corrie, having been the lady of the man Nick Cotton killed on Eastenders on Sky1s dream team.. She first played a horny house wife Jason fingled.
I think the actress has done brilliantly, shes been in work for years when other actors like Simbad from brookside didnt last long.
I cant see her being away for long, its the Ian Beale syndrom, just do the job and stop thinking your Brad Pitt. :D

So, I was watching Corrie tonight and I thought I am really fed up with seeing Tracy acting exactly the same way for the last umpteen years with every story she is ever involved in exactly the same. Carla turning from a very confident assertive woman into a scared shadow of her former self. I can't stand Anna. And just don't get me started on the by-election. And I was thinking why am I still watching Coronation Street?
And then Ayla entered stage left. And all was forgiven.....
Phwoarrrrr!!!!!
Imagine if Sally wins the by-election and Tracy manages to get her greasy mitts on the bistro. Corrie's going to be totally unwatchable!
Even if that doesn't happen, I don't think I can bear another few months of Tracy smirking and gloating, and Carla alternating between cowering from the Tracy and ruthlessly manipulating her faithful sidekick Nick to save her own skin. Alison King is phoning in her performance and Kate Ford hamming it up more than ever. It really is completely dire... :wall:
Unlike parkerman, I don't have an Alya to drool over to keep me glued to the screen... :crying:
The only positive tonight is we did at least get a believable sounding explanation of why Izzy's so desperate for cannabis for her pain instead of taking prescribed medication.
No matter what storyline they give Anna i hate her. Her antics make her so unattractive. I should have sympathy for her regarding Phelan but i think she should have told Kevin everything in the first place. Now shes mistreating him when he was not part of it all and does not know the story. They will get them back together but i cant bear their lovey dovey scenes

Anna's a victim of abuse (perhaps even rape according to someone knowledgeable on another forum) so her overriding feelings are bound to be guilt and shame. It's very natural that she's desperate to keep the whole sordid incident with Phelan quiet.
I dislike her myself, and I've found her nearly as unwatchable as Tracy recently, but I understand her not getting back with Kevin. He took her word over the man who abused her, something I imagine would be extremely hard to forgive despite him not knowing all the facts. What he did know was that Phelan bankrupted her family and his mere presence was enough to send Anna into extreme anxiety, yet he still sided with Phelan. Kevin's no innocent in this.
We know they'll get back together anyway. Corrie's nothing if not predictable. I can't bear their lovey dovey scenes either. :sick:

Agree with Dazzle re Anna. I wish they would get rid of her character though. Plus get rid of sinead as well this modelling storyline is really getting on my nerves because i have to hear more of her voice. Actually they may have plans to get rid of her through this storyline as i cannot see why else they would do this. Simons money should not. Be invested without him having a say. Hes old enough to be consulted, plus things not great with his mum and who knows where he will end up ( portsmouth). Plus bad time to invest in businesses

Oh look, Tracy is now going to be a bitch to Leanne. There are so many sides to her character, I don't know how they keep thinking them up.:wall::wall::wall:
The plots ludicrous, of course Tracy will spill when the sale is complete, why would Carla become suddenly that dim?
One thing's for sure: Nick may have forgiven Carla for the one night stand but I seriously doubt he'll be able to forgive the web of lies and deceit she's woven to cover it up. She doesn't appear to feel any remorse for it either.
She's a victim too of course, but as Splashy says there's so many plot holes that it's hard to take the blackmail plot seriously. It was only a couple of months ago that Carla refused to let Rob blackmail Johnny for goodness sake!

More of Robert reading Tracy the riot act please Corrie!
I am finding Marta's slavery storyline uninteresting and underwhelming so far
I'm interested in Marta's story and finding out how deeply the O'Driscolls are involved in the evil slavery business. I also like Eva and Billy's involvement. The trouble is that Marta as a character is completely undeveloped and is just a cipher to cause drama for the Connors and Underworld. The same also applies to a lesser extent to clichéd panto villains the O'Driscolls.
I couldn't care less about the possibility of the factory teetering on the brink of bankruptcy yet again. It's only a few months since Aidan rode to the rescue of the ailing Underworld after Carla ran it into the ground.
It's yet another groundhog day scenario in Corrie, plus the writers again focusing on the least interesting facet of a storyline (as also happened with Hope's cancer). :wall:
(Also, would Eva - and especially Billy - really think there was any possibility of the O'Driscolls keeping Marta's passport somewhere the latter could easily find it for herself?! :searchme:)

I doubt Bethany is the type of girl to be bullied, she is too smart to let that happen, she is more likely to be the one doing the bullying. What also make me smirk was the fact Lucy Fallon looks so much older than the girls who were bullying her.
What have they done to Gail, I feel so sorry for Helen Worth. The need to write better material for her. It is an insult to Helen, who is a talented actor and an insult to the viewers, who have grown up with this feisty, sometimes funny character. Mentioning Suzie Burchell brought it all back. I long to have Gail Potter back or Gail Tilsley who could go 7 rounds with poison Ivy and come out on top.
I like Eva, but the Slave S/L is not that good. CS do seem to struggle with an issue based S/L. The only other character I enjoyed tonight was Billy. Just a shame he is hooked up with that idiot Sean. :wall:
todd was good with bethany, also good he keeps friendly terms with her and sarah
i too find it hard to see bethany as bully victim

i too find it hard to see Bethany as bully as a victim
Im not so sure, she likes to roll the nasty viciousness out but so far shes been let off any consequences, now maybe shes done her usual on these ladies and for once shes getting the bees she poked stinging her.
Bullying is horrible and it should be stopped, but the girl needs to learn a life lesson about if your vile to some it might come back on you doubled.
But as this is a instant s/l we know not the history . As portrayed shes acting the innocent lamb! Now shes being cyber bullied, which needs to be aired as a discussion, yet is a stroppy selfish uncaring vile sprog really someone we can have credible empathy for and be educated by.
Pheleen moving in on Ilene and undermining Jason is delicious,

two things wrong for me, but I am a pedant....
1. Faye was cyber bullied via her phone etc.....yawn here we go again
2. the 'gang' surrounding Bethany in the middle of the playground to yank her hair etc in full view of staff, - at least send them around the side of the building...
Why is everyone (especially Billy) assuming the worst because Marta stole a phone and twenty quid? Good people commit crimes when desperate after all. :hmm:
todd was good with bethany, also good he keeps friendly terms with her and sarah
I knew Todd, the street's newest resident agony uncle, would come along when Bethany was sitting alone and miserable on the bench. :D

I think anyone can be a victim of bullying, just like anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse. The Callum experience has changed Bethany - the fact she no longer wears a full face of make-up or tries to act older than her age is evidence of this.
For me the main problem with this storyline is that there's been no build up to her living in terror of this gang. No doubt she was stroppy and gave as good as she got with them at first, but she's been worn down by their nastiness. I'd like to have been shown this further change in her.
Im not so sure, she likes to roll the nasty viciousness out but so far shes been let off any consequences, now maybe shes done her usual on these ladies and for once shes getting the bees she poked stinging her.
No doubt you're right and she did something to wind these girls up, but I see Bethany as stroppy not outright vicious. I don't think she's a bad person but, like most teenagers, she thinks she knows it all and isn't afraid to tell everyone that.

I would like the story to show that Marta is a thief and made fools out of Eva and Billy and not be as predictable as people are thinking, as this does happen, some immigrants can be thieves.

Some members of any group of people will almost certainly be criminals.
Marta is obviously a vulnerable young girl who wants to go home but she was being held against her will, so I wouldn't class her as an immigrant. Slavery is a problem in this country and Corrie painting one as a cynical thief who's taken advantage of kindness could inflame prejudice - so I hope they don't go there.

Erica and Dev's relationship woes was painful to watch
Part of me now cant wait for Phelan to fleece and con Jason just to see the look on Eileen's face
Tim was great
I like Todd, Bruno plays him so well
It struck me as odd that Sarah had what appeared to be a routine scan so late in her pregnancy. Normal ultrasound scans are done at about 12 and 20 weeks, and it's at the latter one that the baby's sex is usually identified.
Of course, Sarah didn't realise she was pregnant until about 20 weeks, but from the experience of someone I know, the routine scans are still done as close to the usual time as possible in those circumstances and not left until many months later.
Yes she looks ready for the labour ward for sure
sometimes a 36 week scan if there are any concerns?

No concerns were mentioned though, which is why it struck me as strange. Also, she was asked if she wanted to know the sex of the baby as if it was the first time she'd been asked.

Well that was pretty ropy for even CS. Les Dennis is terrible as Michael, I have tried to get on with him, but he cannot act and the scripts are awful and it's embarrassing to watch. Also the scenes with the election in Roy's was over the top even for CS. When did CS lose the ability to be funny?
The only decent scenes were with Eva, Billy and Marta.

I felt almost the complete opposite to you about Monday's episodes! :D
I do agree about the Michael/Phelan thread. Similar scenes have been played out almost word for word so many time over the past few years in Corrie that it's beyond a joke. How can a storyline be both boring and frustrating at the same time? :wall:
As for the rest, I thought the scripts were excellent and full of amusing details and lines that had me chortling. Sally's speech at the end was admittedly more cringeworthy than rousing, but I think it would have been entertaining given some rehearsal (we know soap actors get little to no rehearsal time because of the rate episodes are churned out nowadays).
The Marta storyline has taken a very sinister turn. Billy obviously wasn't happy to leave her, so I hope he checks up on her soon.

It takes a lot for me to sympathise with Anna Windass, but her being called a liar after pouring her heart out did just that. Eileen had already made her mind up before Anna stepped in the house, so I think the latter not getting her story perfect due to nervousness made little to no difference to whether she'd be believed.

I agree, Eileen and co have got what's coming to them and serves them right. Eileen's been round the block 23 times, so you would think she would have a bit more sense, she not a slapper like Liz McMutton. I suppose we wouldn't have a storyline with Phelan would we. :)

That's one of the problem with Corrie nowadays: characters being made stupid to fit in with storylines. Carla's another example at the moment.

Couldn't agree more, ff. Sally Dynevor, Malcolm Hebden and Joe Duttine are certainly three of Corrie's finest actors, but this by-election nonsense was woeful and must have put them in a really difficult position having to make something of it.
I've nothing much to add to all of your very pertinent comments about the execrable election storyline, except to note my bemusement that there was no sense of excitement or that it would have been a huge deal for those involved. All we got was Sally gloating and a dismayed Norris - which are hardly unusual scenes.
I thought Aidan's contrived and poorly executed rescue of Marta, Eva and Billy was equally as cringeworthy. It definitely did not make Aidan look the hero (which I'm sure was what was intended). Now that Marta's served her purpose as a paper-thin plot device no doubt she'll never be mentioned again. :wall:
Equally as unlikely was an angry Kevin managing to restrain himself from confronting Phelan. I was quite looking forward to that, so I hope Kevin will get him alone to make it clear to him that he'll pay sooner or later.

Kevin might not be as clever as Phelan, but the latter is so cocky he'll make a mistake sooner or later. However, I agree Todd is the likeliest person to cotton on to Phelan's dastardly ways and outwit him. He already smells a rat.

All the nods to the past between Sarah and Todd were nostalgic. I hope she'll me able to bond with her baby. Todd should be godfather.

I just want to punch Tracey Luv in the face!
When did Eileen become a grade A bitch?
Gail you are better off without Michael. You can do so much better.
Poor episodes again tonight. I just hope Michael stays in Brighton with his choc ices and 99's.

I'm with you on wanting to punch Tracey in the face. Kate Ford portrays that evil character just so well.
I'll bet Michael never gets as far as Stockport with his choc ices and 69's (dyslexia lures).

So it seems the Corrie writers agree with our view that Tracy is "nasty, juvenile and boring". If you feel that way, do something about her for goodness sake!
At this rate Carla's going to leave in the back of a police car having murdered her nemesis - and who could blame her? I'd certainly cheer at seeing the back of smug Tracy (who had the hypocrisy to call Carla smug on Friday)!
Hasn't Gail heard of a phone? It seems now Michael's left Weatherfield, he's incommunicado... :wall:
When did Eileen become a grade A bitch?
Probably about the same time Gail became the village idiot...

I can't agree with that sorry! :D

It would fit in with soapland that all the residents of a street seem to have each other´s mobile phone number (even if they are not friendly with each other ) yet the one person that should have Michael´s phone number, his estranged wife, does not ...:D :cartman:
I agree that micheal has a sulky face like its the end of the world. Unbearable

The erstwhile Bungling Burglar has surely outlived his time on the Street. He just goes from one pathetic, unbelievabale storyline to another. Quite why women are fighting over him is something of a mystery to me.

Well, Eileen binned him. As for Gail, well, she is just pathetic and so is he . No-one else is fighting over him ……..well, maybe Eccles ?

A bully in his own backyard. One of the most pathetic characters on Corrie ever. When he finally gets rejected by all the vulnerable women that he preys on, I think his best way forward would be the Soup Kitchen where Dennis Tanner was hanging out. The one that good, Christian Sophie never goes anywhere near these days because it isn't in a current storyline.
Yes i forgot that when she is not in a relationship she is saving the world. As for micheal he is miserable and a user. I mean being dumped by eileen and next day chasing gail. Shows hes just after a roof over his head. He is coming back though after his stint in the theatre so will be back with gail and will gloat when he sees what happens to eileen. Or it all comes out when he is back and he has to choose between gail and eileen. Wonder who will be the lucky one

I think you mean Freddie and yes, I too have been wondering about why this character was created.

I think she might confide in him. It was obvious she was thinking about Callum when Freddie was talking about the effect on a person of the death of someone close to them. She might end up blurting it all out to him one day.
I read somewhere else that Freddie will be around for a while and isn't just a short-term guest. Anyone know any more?

I believe he will be around for a while but have not seen anything about whether he will be involved in Kylie´s exit storyline or not.

Go Todd!:cheer:
Todd was funny. Hate Tracys character even more. Hope this new producer kills her off
Go Todd!:cheer:
Todd's great: one of my favourite characters, but so underused! Bruno Langley deserves to be at the forefront of the show. He's head and shoulders above the likes of Fiz, Tyrone and Tracy (and much of the rest of the cast if truth be told) in the acting and personality stakes.

That's probably top of my wishlist for Corrie characters, but sadly it's never likely to happen. As Ken and Deidre's daughter she's untouchable.

I enjoyed Carla slapping Tracey. The Todd scenes with Pehlan were very good also. How many times have we got to watch Tracey and Carla doing those scenes, we must have seen this at least a dozen times. :wall:

Sean: "Thanks for the nosh Patrick".
I see it didn't take Anna long to revert to being a nasty cow. She had absolutely no sympathy that Izzy's in such pain she has to seek illegal pain relief! And fancy virtually abducting Jake when his perfectly capable father was standing there! :wall:
However, I've got to admit that Izzy's "funny turn" was hilarious... :lol:
I'm finding it hard to believe in Michelle suddenly being so put upon. The way she keeps exclaiming that she's running three businesses (even in Liz's presence) you'd think she was doing so single-handedly.

Why must they shoe horn Tracey into every scene? Why have they all of a sudden turned Sally from a snobby, annoying character into a hard faced cow. Are the script writer's using a young Maggie as their inspiration? I should not have done, but I did find the Izzy scenes amusing for all the wrong reasons. Terrible, terrible writing. The show goes from bad to worse. :(
If I had been Gary or Anna and seen Izzy in that much pain, I would have taken her to A&E, I know Izzy´s doctor would not prescribe stronger painkillers but just treating the pain is not good enough, surely she should have an MRI scan and whatever else to find out what is causing it. She must have really hurt her hip when she fell out of the wheelchair and might need more than just treating the pain ???:hmm:

Soap characters, of course, won't go to the doctor, or call the police, or ring an ambulance, or do what any normal person would do in a given circumstance because it would interfere with a storyline so they prefer to be in a difficult or dangerous situation instead. My favourite soap reaction is where somebody is accidentally responsible for someone's death (like causing them to trip and fall down the stairs) when they decide to dispose of the body rather than just ring the police to report a tragic accident. I do it all the time I've lost count of the dead bodies I've got in my garden shed or buried under the floorboards.

If any other member had said that I'd laugh it off, but I admit you've got me worried MoMo... :eek:
over act much kym, bistro as wedding venue, rovers as stag venue, outsiders venturing in whats happening
I actually thought Kym was quite good as the despairing Michelle - and I'm not usually a fan. As usual with Corrie recently though, this storyline of Michelle being at the end of her tether has come out of nowhere with no build-up so it's not very convincing. Liz assuming the worst after a couple of meetings with her ex was well over-the-top!
I really feel sorry for people like Izzy suffering from chronic pain with no easy remedy. I know many are forced to seek alternative ways of deadening the pain as Izzy did. What a horrible situation.. :(
Was anyone else unable to stop the playaway theme tune playing thru their head during the entire epp?

A big improvement from the start of the week. Liz has got a nerve, especially with her track record, standing up for her lazy saintly sun. If I were Michelle I would run far away. Mary is always good value, she made me smile tonight.

I take it this refers to Freddie Smith (Derek Griffiths)?
I saw someone else mentioned about him being in Playaway, but a search on imdb doesn't show he was in it. The only kids programme I can see listed that I remember with him is Cabbages And Kings (1972-74)
