View Full Version : Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV
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)
Yes, Derek was in Play Away (and Play School). I remember him very well.

Oh right. It looks like imdb is rather amiss in this case. They're normally on the ball with these things.
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.. :(
is that an aprils fool joke about kyms acting

No! :D
I'm not a fan of Kym Marsh or her acting, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with her on Friday. There are far worse actors in Corrie in my opinion.

Ah so I wasnt on a trip of incorrect memories then, I normally am so its nice to be correct for once. Ive not checked but didnt he also appear in Pork Pie the sitcom and off shoot of Desmonds after the Desmond actor passed.Loved both of those shows, had a young Polly Page from ITV the Bill in it.

Mary was funny the only highlight
Who does Tracy think she is to barge into the Bistro demanding Robert stops talking to Carla and listen to her? And surely, if you think you are pregnant you would want to tell your man in private, not at his workplace? :wall::searchme:

I wonder if they are having some sort of competition amongst the Corrie scriptwriters...? I thought that the by-election story was the absolute pits, but they seem to have managed to plumb the depths even further with this storyline about the garden fence.
Let's hope someone wins the competition for the worst ever soap story soon and put us all out of our misery!
Thank goodness Tracy wasn't pregnant! I really want Robert to stay strong and never get back with her. It's the very least she deserves. Unfortunately, we know she'll take her anger out on Carla and Nick if Robert refuses to back down.
If the blackmail is revealed, Tracy could go to prison for a very long time (a girl can dream... :p).
robert knows the truth about the fire he should blab to all and not take her back

If the blackmail is revealed, Tracy could go to prison for a very long time (a girl can dream... :p).
sadly it is Tracey's word vs Carla's re the blackmail?
Carla was trying hard to persuade Nick t sell and move, and 'helped' things on their way by 'gifting' the money?
that's the answer Tracey will give

I was thinking that Robert could testify against Tracy, but I know it's never going to happen and she's not going to be jailed for the blackmail. :(

The by-election story had the potential to be a fantastic storyline but it was poorly scripted and not thought through. They could have prolonged the canvassing between Norris and Sally. I think they have really shot themselves in the foot with the way they handled it. There could have been some great stories come out of the Councillor Metcalfe character but alas they have made her election too far fetched to give any credence to the whole thing. A wasted opportunity

Hearsay evidence is admitted under certain circumstances. For instance, the following could be deemed to apply in this case:
The court is satisfied that it is in the interests of justice for it to be admissible
And even if it wouldn't be admissable in reality, soap writers twist things to suit themselves all the time so I certainly wouldn't be averse to them doing so to send Tracy down.

I agree with all of that. The Leanne/Carla conversation felt very real and was nice reminder what good actresses both Jane and Alison are when given well-written material.

I'm not very pleased at some of those names listed who've been given new Corrie contracts... :thumbsdow
the leanne/carla scene was so they can fight again over nick and bistro once tracy or robert reveal all
how will this pan out?
Nick has sold the Bistro now, he cant take it back? but doesn't leave?
I get Carla leaving when it all comes out, and I think Tracey is actually pregnant, just needs a second test in a few days?
True about pregnancy test. Positive is only the result you can count on

It'll definitely all become public knowledge sooner or later. Will Tracy take Robert's warning about spilling the beans to Nick seriously I wonder? I personally doubt she'll be able to resist for very long.

I wanted him to stay resolute and away from Tracy, he seems to have good chemistry with Leanne and even Carla too

Robert has extremely low standards in his choice of companions. A total hypocrite.
Good point Tammy and Dazzle, his interest in Leanne maybe more to do with a consolation award. What could push Tracy over the edge to reveal all to Nick would be Robert offering Leanne a share of the business . I think that would really produce a jealous anger in Tracy.

Corrie spends far too much time and resource trying to make characters and stories into similar ones to those 20 or 30 years ago. Jack and Vera were a naturally combative "old married couple". Tim and Sally are a totally ridiculous, contrived, unbelievable, forced imitation which insults the intelligence of the viewers.
I also note the way that certain characters are never made to seem as if they do anything wrong. Thus, Kate's girlfriend has got to come across as a nasty, aggressive bully to try and make it look as if Sophie is not wrecking someone else's marriage/ relationship. Rather similar to Tina's girlfriend in Eastenders. Once again, ridiculously manipulative and contrived.

Kaz was a very poor actress, hopefully she's gone for good! I don't see anything wrong with the reasons either, she was a controlling freak and people like that do exist. I can fully understand why Kate would feel more drawn to Sophie who anyway is nice.

I'm with Mariba in loving Tim and Sally, although I think Sally is being written poorly at the moment and has fallen over the precipice from endearingly snobby to caricature. Corrie writers don't seem to understand that sometimes less is more. I haven't got a problem with Tim at all. I think he's funny, endearing, empathetic and surprisingly intelligent despite being written as a lazy layabout. I think a lot of that is down to Joe Duttine's subtle acting and impeccable comic timing overcoming unsubtle scripts.
I actually think Tim and Sally have more in common with Hilda and Stan than Jack and Vera. Either way, the actors are more than capable of pulling it off but the writing needs to improve drastically to make them a Corrie couple with lasting appeal.

I agree with with you here. The whole Sophie/Kate/Caz situation was badly written and acted, and worse - boring. As soon as Kate came to the cobbles we all knew she was destined to be Sophie's next conquest. Contrived as you say, MoMo.

I don't agree that Sophie's nice. Yes, she's portrayed as a bit of saint as MoMo points out, but in reality she's an immature screeching nightmare who pursues her latest love interest without thought of the repercussions. Look how she ruined Jenna's career, and pushed and pushed with the homeless and vulnerable Maddie. If she was that nice, she wouldn't have hung around Kate like a lovesick puppy and kissed her when she was in such an emotional state.
They've tried to make Sophie more mature by having her wander around her dad's garage with a clipboard, but her behaviour otherwise seems unchanged.

Yes Sophie has been out of order. Agree Caz is being protrayed in a bad light. I would be upset if the person i was marrying was acting like Kate and flirting with another person. Caz is right to call it off

As for Luke, I think the problem was Maria couldn't understand why he reacted so violently because she didn't know about the blackmail and the photos. Her attitude changed when she did eventually learn the truth.

You know the saying no fool like ......................................
The worst thing for me about the lion costume debacle was how contrived it was. When has Audrey ever mentioned am-dram before or had what I presume were her am-dram friends in the salon? If the writers really wanted Maria in an embarrassing costume (why???) she could have popped into town to get something rather than invent a cringeworthy and unbelievable backstory to explain it being available in the salon.
The sad thing is I like Luke and think he's a good actor. He needs a decent storyline.
Also, is any community that unsympathetic and ignorant about chronic pain sufferers using cannabis? It's not exactly unheard of and is even legal in some US states. You'd think Izzy was a junkie the way that harpy Anna was carrying on! :wall:
I was surprised Gary can be done for being a dealer for buying a small amount of cannabis for Izzy, so I suppose that was a good fact to highlight (I'm assuming it's true).

I'm finding Anna's attitude to Izzy taking drugs for her pain very condescending
Yes, she's so nasty and judgmental, and totally unsympathetic to Izzy's chronic pain (which is the part I find hardest to understand).
Nick's head injury recurrence and its possible effect on his relationship with Carla is far more interesting than the latter's boring feud with Tracy. I don't know much about brain injuries but I wonder if they can be worsened by stress? If so, selling his beloved bistro (which must have felt to Nick like losing a part of himself) could be the cause of his declining health.
Audrey's touching words to Gail were enjoyable and made a nice change from the almost constant arguing which is the mainstay of soaps. I found it amusing to be reminded what a "flighty piece" Audrey once was. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/happy/smileys-happy-514478.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

Just caught up with last night's. I did smile at some of Nick's one liners. I prefer angry incredible hulk (well mini hulk) Nick. I also liked the mention of poison Ivy. The rest of the episode was a waste of time though. The best bits could have been fitted into the first 15 minutes, before the first commercial break. :)
the only saving grace of that episode was todd and phelan

I corrected your post for you! :p
I agree about Todd though. He's fast becoming one of my favourite Corrie characters, and I like that he's usually nice nowadays yet retains his naughty side. He's cleverer than the average Coronation Street resident too, although that's not saying much. :D

I agree, the Platts, especially Jack P Shepherd and Todd, Bruno Langley are playing a blinder and are the saving graces of Corrie right now. For me there was too much of Michelle in tonight's episode.

So what Council is Sally actually on? She said tonight it was a hung Council. Manchester is all Labour apart from one Independent Labour. Hardly hung!
In any case, whatever Council it is, given that it is a hung Council and that Sally's vote is vital, it makes it all the more ridiculous that no-one from the main parties stood in the by-election. It would have been a vital seat to win and give whoever won it control of the Council.

The best bit of tonight's episodes were the Todd and Phelan scenes. I am really liking Yasmeen now, she has settled well into the show and seems part of the community. Also Shayne Ward has turned out to be rather good.
The Sally scenes as a councillor are beyond ridiculous now and Sophie dear you are NO Christian.

Michelle and Steve are "just mates". Like Sophie and Kate.
I would have thought Caz would have moved to a place near her base or into barracks rather than back to Coronation Street to live with the girl she broke up with :searchme:
It odd when people make a big thing about being religious but do not follow up with good actions. Sophie just thinking of herself which is not very Christian.. It made me cringe when she declared she was a Christian.....assuring the other person she would could not do any wrong because of it. When we all knew she was going to cause trouble and prevent the wedding happening
I cannot remember who she said it to! anyway why do we not see scenes of her going off to Billys church

go billy you tell that annoying prat sean the truth
steve not realising tony is black :p so jase tanned, funny
I'm sad that Tony's gone. What a waste of a compelling character. :(
I knew Steve and Tim would work well together in the cab office. Their chemistry might even be better than Steve and Lloyd's. :thumbsup:
I'm really glad Steve's back, but is he really so stupid that he wouldn't realise that virtually ignoring his wife for six months wouldn't affect her? He even did the same to Amy! It was very much a case of out of sight, out of mind... :wall:
I don't feel at all sorry for sleazy Will. He did most of the running - while he was about to get married for goodness sake! At least Michelle had a reason for almost cheating.
I really hope the heavy featuring of Michelle is just about over now. Although I understand her feelings of rejection, she's not a character I enjoy watching. Also, I'm highly dubious that a couple who lived in that house wouldn't hire the creme de la creme of wedding planners instead of someone relatively inexperienced for whom it's obviously very much a sideline.

Phelan is a clever operator pushing Jason to the pub to confront Liz so he could close the deal
"Wind them up and watch them go" is Phelan's raison d'être.

I would be mad at her more I think
Jason's so angry at Liz because Tony left Weatherfield because of her. Jason thinks his dad might not have died if he'd still been living nearby because he'd have been less likely to have been alone when he had the heart attack, or could have been found in time to save.
So by Jason's grief-stricken logic Liz is responsible for Tony's death and Tracy - who didn't factor into Tony's decision to leave - is innocent.

I too like Billy and think he's become an interesting character. It's a good sign that the character's getting his own storylines and isn't just seen as Sean's romantic interest.
Maybe the guy is blackmailing him and is threatening to tell the Church he is gay. Billy hides that fact from the people who employ him. He is only open about his relationship on the street

This storyline with Caz is just so wrong ...no way would she have been allowed to leave Cyprus to recouperate in UK ... She is able to move about on crutches which in my experience means that she would be down to light duties if she does not normally have a desk job. Not sure if it has been mentioned what she does in the Army ..
I'm loving Todd vs Phelan but I hope the Phelan storyline's going to become less repetitive now Todd's decided to take Billy's advice.
So far we've had what feels like dozens of versions of: one of Phelan's enemies catching him out, his guilt being announced to a shocked audience, Phelan easily weaseling his way out of it while twirling his moustache and smirking for the audience's benefit, rinse and repeat.
The continuing gullibility of those who keep swallowing his lies is frustrating viewing. :wall:

I would say Corrie's baddies normally get their just deserts, but then look at Tracey Luv, she should still be in the slammer serving a life sentence? If Phelan had been fleecing someone half decent on the street like Emily or Roy I would punch his lights out myself, but as it's the Grimshaws I say get whatever you can mate and then go back for seconds. :) The only Grimshaw I like is Todd. He will bring Phelan down in the end?
I guess the producers thought that Tracy got punished as she ended up in prison but then of course they wanted the character back so this ludicrous storyline of a technical fault got her back out way too early.
I like the Grimshaws, Eileen is just desperate for a man to love her but has a strange way of going about it :wall: and Jason is simply not bright enough to see a problem with Phelan. I sure hope that Todd will stop Phelan getting his hands on Jason´s money and that Eileen will kick him out too once she sees his true colours.

Kylie forcing Sarah to stay with them is getting on my nerves. She can see she can't cope, as many people wouldn't living a few feet away from a rotting corpse... :sick:
It's so contrived the way Gail is so sickeningly fawning over Carla when she usually detests Nick's other halves. All the more drama when Carla's betrayal is revealed no doubt. :wall:
I felt sorry for Gemma too.
I heara a zombie epp is planned, staring Calum and Smickel :D
Loving the actress playing Gemma, Gemma herself finding out how twisted J boy really is, hes been a vile turd for years IMO, preying on his mates GF for sex when she was in a state over her loss, disgusted me.
Still delighting in smarmy Pat, was liking Todd for once trying to foil his evil plans but then Todd turned on the Vicar and I hated him again..:D Best guess is that homeless guy is a sibling.
I'm liking Gemma more and more too. Now her character's been softened a little she's quite funny and endearing.
"Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has revealed that he's still in the dark over Jason Grimshaw's exit storyline.
The actor shocked fans last October when he announced his decision to bow out from his role as Jason to "pursue new challenges"
What, like learning how to act? He's clearly struggled to portray grief in 99% of the scenes following the death of his character's dad. Not someone who will be missed.

Her voice and accent is bad. Very off putting. Anyway this Caitlin getting a place in Dundee before results are out is a bit strange. It would not happen.i think they are going to fix him up with Bethany so ignoring normal university procedures now as well as election procedures with Sally
After the way Sally ordered Jenny about at the factory, demanding she put the pictures from Blackpool into the bin as she is the cleaner, Jenny should have told her to shove them up her Quick Me Kiss hat :D
Exactly. We are seeing the horrible side of Sally and stupid side of Gail. I think i will have to watch an old episode of corrie to remind myself how Gail used to be

I agree but you will have to go a long way
back swmc66 to find an episode where
Gail was shown as bright & intelligent not
a dim doormat. Not just the butt of others jokes.
Hope you enjoy it!:)
I enjoyed that we got to see a realistically degenerate hen night for once. Far too often in Corrie, the younger cast members are content to drink sedately in their local rather than go for a wild night out clubbing when they're celebrating.

I am not finding Sally funny anymore and poor Tim I feel sorry for him
great how ty forgets his best mate kev stole molly from him
I'm glad Sally admitted how unlikable she's become since being elected. Let's hope the character's worst facets are reigned in a little from hereon in.
It was silly that Jenny Bradley happened to be in Blackpool to rescue Jack. Why not have it happen somewhere local if they wanted to redeem her for the kidnapping - instead of as a highly unlikely coincidence?
I'm finding Johnny more tolerable recently. Dare I say I could even like the character one day?
I was wondering whilst watching Monday's episodes - with its numerous references to Carla's instability and constant stream of crises - whether she'll kill herself if Nick dumps her after discovering the truth? I know that's not a likely outcome and that Corrie bosses will want to try and tempt Alison King back one day, but it would certainly be a shocking outcome to this storyline. :eek:

I liked the Blackpool parts until Sally and Sophie showed up
I do like Johnny more now and his potential romance with Jenny, he is working well with Carla and Aiden, Kate is odd one out to me just doesn't fit
Sally on her own-yes. But with Sophie, ruined it all for me. I loved Sally's face when she saw Tim feeding Kev! :D Sally and Tim are great together-like Jimmy and Nico in Emmerdale.

It was nice to see little adorable Jake, liked his scenes with Gary
jenny wants to move up in the factory and is wrapping johnny around her finger
Very good scenes between Todd and Billy. It's telling he doesn't want to confess all to the shallow Sean. Did I detect feelings for Todd in the last glance he gave him? I think they have very good chemistry but they absolutely must not have Billy be unfaithful; that would ruin a good character. Have him finish with Sean then slowly build up to a relationship with Todd.
I think the way the police are being portrayed in the Izzy cannabis storyline is well over the top - and probably very scary for people in her position who rely on it for medicinal purposes. From what I've heard, the police are not interested in people having small amounts for personal use - especially for people in Izzy's position. And the way the copper reacted to the "assault" was truly ridiculous.

Agreed. Also, if that copper broke his foot he wouldn't be able to walk at all....I know from experience!!!

Would the police treat a disabled person so badly :hmm:
Anna can be so horrible :angry:
Yes Tracy the firestarter is remembered :clap: punishment time
Izzy and the Police ...point one the officer didnt have any legal right to be in her flat ...but in soap land how many awful faces did Izzy pull ..shes a good looking lady but where the smudge did them awful boat races come from ?
Its ironic, I had a bod in myself valuing my flat today, I liked the idea of throwing him out for whistling, he was charming and urbane but dose anybody like their possessions being valued and assessed ?
Today I have mostly being dower
here we come walking down the street
Anna the martyr who makes everything about herself strikes again. She's incapable of putting herself in anyone else's shoes... :wall:
It's nice to see Gary being so supportive of Izzy. Are they going to get back together? :hmm:
I really dislike Jenny's game playing. :thumbsdow
Is Yasmeen the person who will give Tracy her just desserts? I hope she doesn't let Kal's death go, and I despair now of Carla bringing Tracy down.
I'm looking forward to next week's episodes, though I don't want to see Nick's world shattered. :(

A good start for BGT week, but it doesn't seem like a special set of episodes, I could be proved wrong (I hope I am) it is only day 1 so we will see. Alison King deserves nothing less.
The Carla, Roy and Cathy scenes were well done, I will miss Carla and Roy's friendship.
Too Tracy centric for me, Max had the right idea pretend to be ill and avoid the car crash union.
As for the fillers, who cares about Fizs dress for gawd sake.
For entertainment tonight my vote goes to EE.

This weeks episodes are dragging a bit. A very long wedding day, or non wedding day.
There have been rumours for years that Gail's love for Nick veers into creepy territory. I could almost believe them tonight when she told her middle-aged son she could "eat him up". http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/imjscn/Skype%20Animated/emoticon-0119-puke.gif
I thought the trailer at the end of the episode gave rather too much away about what's coming up next... :wall:
For entertainment tonight my vote goes to EE.
Agreed, there was absolutely no comparison between the quality of the two episodes.
Had to catch up on 5 episodes of the Tracy Barlow show last night and now watching the first episode of this week ' Tracy Barlow the Wedding'. I might start watching EE or Emmerdale but not sure what their villains are like

I can't speak for Emmerdale, but the EE villains are a lot more believable and better acted than Tracy Barlow.
If I was a Corrie boss, I'd give Tracy a life-threatening head injury that changes her personality for good. They could still have her make an occasional snide one-liner, but otherwise keep her as a lightweight character.

They could always send Bobby up to Weatherfield. He'd soon sort Tracy out.
So robert low life is going to stay with her at all costs. Hw desperate is he

What on earth does Robert or anyone else see in Tracey? :searchme:
Why on earth did Robert or Johnny let Tracy carry on talking after Nick revealed he knew about Carla and Robert? They should have dragged her out of the place by her hair :angry:
Failed soap wedding - Groundhog Day. Tracy ruining other peoples lives - Groundhog Day. Tracy escaping with no significant adverse consequences - Groundhog Day. What on earth does Kate Ford have on the production staff of Corrie?? The campaign starts here - Before Callum's body is found, swap it with Tracy's and bring Sean Ward back!
