Just out of interest in case anyone knows the answer....
A marriage can be annulled if it is not consumated. Now the question is, Nick and Carla's marraige was not consumated after the wedding, but, of course, was consumated before. Does that count or does it have to be after the ceremony? :hmm:
I believe the consumation of a marriage has to be after the wedding, sex before marriage does not count as you are not married then even if you have intentions to get wed
I hate watching Corrie because of Tracy.
I hate watching Corrie because of Tracy. Every soap has a favourite evil character ... Emma in Emmerdale, Bobby now in EastEnders, I don´t watch Hollyoaks or Doctors so can´t comment but I am sure it is the same there :)
None of the mentioned characters don't make me feel like switching off.. Tracy does. Plus that she's the most boring ' villain ',so predictable.
So robert low life is going to stay with her at all costs. Hw desperate is he
has he finally seen the light
Good. That was an excellent episode
so carla will now lose roy too

so carla will now lose roy too
very sad if that is the case.
If I had been Carla I'd have mowed Tracey down. It would have been worth doing time for and everybody would have been grateful and thankful.
I just caught up on the last two episodes and was very pleasantly surprised. Corrie really upped its game. There was too much Tracy of course, but at least she made a show of herself and was unceremoniously dumped into the bargain (let's hope Robert keeps his word this time). There were some great scenes between Carla and Nick, David and Nick, and Roy and Carla.
I hope Cathy's not dead, that would be too cruel on Roy - especially after he dismissed her superbly mis-timed proposal. However, I always had my suspicions such a well known actress as Melanie Hill wouldn't stay long term. :(
I had to laugh when Alex told her she needed chocolate after being rejected. That was a very funny moment. :D
I thought the crash was very well done. If only Carla had finished off Tracy it would have been perfect. :p
Callum's about to make his long-awaited reappearance... :ninja:
As per a lot of the visuals were lost on me in the crash scene, but was actually also Roys naff driving and tantrum Tyrones stupid bare foot driving thus shoe under the break pedal that really were also to blame?
Its not made me want to watch Thursday epp now, Tracy will be gloating about how she was the intended victim and Roy will be blaming Carla for ex Mrs Sharpes injuries. Then the thicko accidental/in self defence Calum buriers will be front of line S/L.
Why again did mr and mrs deep in debt buy a posh dress over food and clothing for their offspring? Ah well Im sure Fizz can con some other elderly lady to put her in her will.
Gail .. what a great right hook, shame Carla didnt hit you back harder or better still report you to the Police for assault, the Nicki boy, he of the aggressive mind issues did the same to thingy chef bloke. Never mind as pointed out earlier in this thread Nick will be scratching his eyes out after an Oedipus event.
Carla did warn Nick she would hurt him, she was very clear about it and Nicks no saint as David pointed out. but like I say Gail as quoted in this thread "could eat him up"
TAXI FOR SPLASHY

I too found the crash confusing. I thought it was mainly Carla's fault but maybe someone else can enlighten us?
I'm glad you've noticed Gail's rather un-motherly love for Nick... :D
Very true that Carla warned Nick in no uncertain terms that she'd hurt him. He went into the relationship with his eyes wide open.
carla went to run down tracy but swerved in the end to avoid her and ran down kabin paper boy statute jenny was dragging in and then hit cathy by the shop and tyrone was avoiding roy or am i wrong?
Wasn't it Tyrone who hit Cathy?

he went into platt house opposite way of shop

I thought he skimmed the wall of the Kabin where Cathy and Alex were standing before hitting the Platt house. However, as I said, I'm confused about the sequence of events so am probably wrong. I need to watch the scene again.

You're right about Carla hitting Cathy, lizann. Here's the clip:

It makes sense because Nick's prophesy that Carla would one day hurt Roy came true - rather sooner than anyone expected. :(
Tyrone hit Norris' beloved paperboy thingummyjig. Now that will be hard to forgive! :eek:

What a shame Carla didn't mow down Tracey Luv. It would be almost worth doing time for. :clap:
Ive watched the scene loads now, it just does not make sense?
Ok forget Carla, Tyrone seems to have again lost his temper even with Roy and was gunning it past Roy who watched him pass.. all the while Fiz is quite clear in what Tyrone is doing she dosent agree with ..the edit is so unclear did Tyrone cause Carla to avoid him and hit whats her face?
To drive bare foot and leave the shoes in the driving well to impede control well, will he own up to it...my guess is not ..the chap always likes to be claiming he is the victim while taking out his woes on others and stating he has a family to support.

Is Robert going to stay true to his words and keep away from Tracy and offer to sell Nick back his beloved Bistro and will Leanne and the other staff stay on working for him now all is out, I guess they will as they need jobs but it could be an unpleasant work place and customers may boycott

I'm not sure if they did a DNA test on "Den". The body had been in the water a long time, and I'm not sure DNA tests were even widely used back then. I think he was identified by a ring that Sharon recognised or something.
They shouldn't have any trouble identifying Callum either via DNA or his dental records. The science is very precise nowadays.

Neither of those things would prevent identification. There are extremely clever scientists nowadays who can put together ancient skeletons that were scattered over a large area due to being eaten by animals, and tell how old the person/animal was, its cause of death, what it ate, and lots of other fascinating details about its life. Knocked out teeth or a body that's not intact would pose no problem.
Also, DNA has recently been reconstructed for a 300,000 year old bear (who hadn't been permanently frozen), so I can't imagine a body that's been buried under concrete for eight months would be too much of a problem to identify via DNA.
I realise soap police often get things wrong but they and the forensic scientists would have to be incredibly inept or corrupt to misidentify this body.

Cops dont need DNA etc to identify Callum, they just need to ask us here :ninja: It was Dazzle what done it officer :ninja:
Tyrone not owning up to being a tool with a shoe under his break pedal and its all Carlas fault .. yawn..Tyrone is a nasty angry little sc@@t. who we are always being told is a nice guy while he kicks someone else because he is having a bad time. Remember him scrapping Ches van because he was having a bad day with beat up wife and the story goes on and on.
Gail realising she had been sleeping over a corpse was priceless.

They pretty much messed up Alison Kings exit. The only good bit was the end scene with Roy and Carla. So pleased Roy made it up with her. That was a very moving scene. Loved Carla's line about her not meaning enough for Roy to catch a taxi. Roy on the bus was so perfect and so Roy.
I am really going to miss Alison King and Corrie are certainly going too. I will especially miss her friendship with Roy which was the only thing 'The Hat' got right. I imagine Alison is happy to be out of this mess. I am sure she will do well. I know in an interview she said wanted to spend more time with her daughter.
I don't think the show is worth watching now sadly.
I agree, the exit was disgraceful ! I wish they would have made her smack Tracy before going rather than allowing Tracy to be more despicable and vile to her :angry:

I'm not going to miss Carla, not after the hatchet job that's been done on her character in recent times. Overexposure, one crisis after another, misery heaped upon misery, and Carla was a spent force. That's nothing against Alison King though, and I'd welcome her back in the future under a different writing team.
parkerman
28-05-2016, 19:23
I agree about the way Carla has been written recently. She was such a strong character once but that was taken away from her and she turned into a hopeless whimpering woman who needed a man, whether her fiancee or her father. That was never the Carla we all knew and loved. Such a shame as Alison King is a very good actor.
If only they could have written her character like they've written Tracy, with such variation and different shades to her character with many subtleties......oh, er, hang on a minute....
One of the worst things for me about Carla's exit was that she left in the middle of a police investigation into the crash.
We should have seen her being breathalysed and questioned by the police. Those sorts of scenes would have been far more compelling to me than lengthy and cringeworthy scenes of Carla and Michelle sobbing their goodbyes.
If we're very lucky we'll be rewarded in a few weeks time with one line about whether Carla will face any charges. :wall:
Also, whilst I'm on the subject of the crash, a few minutes of tension about whether Cathy would make it wouldn't have gone amiss instead of just abruptly being told she was okay.

I suppose the police must have definitively identified the body as Callum since they repeatedly referred to it by his name. Neither they nor his mother appeared to have any doubts it's him.
I hope the Corrie team at least attempt to keep the investigation realistic. I don't mind some artistic licence as long as it doesn't devolve into complete fantasy.

No, it hasn't been mentioned, but I thought it odd that the police and Callum's mum were talking as if they have no doubt the body is Callum if it hasn't been officially identified yet. Still, stranger things have happened in Corrie...

I presume that because Callum´s credit card was found on the body and he has been missing for a while the police are not in much doubt that they yhave the right body pending further forensic tests

True, I just don't think the police in real life would repeatedly refer to it as Callum Logan until a definitive ID was made. I think they'd more likely refer to it as "the body presumed to be Callum Logan" or similar. However, I don't actually know and am making an assumption that might well be incorrect.

I think that was last week, the episode after the body was discovered. They said at the time it would take a while to definitively identify it because of decomposition. My point is that this week there's been no mention of any doubt over identification.
I also think any parent, no matter how sure they were intellectually that a body was their missing child, wouldn't be able to stop themselves hoping it wasn't. Callum's mum (I can never remember her name) didn't appear to doubt it was him or to be holding out any hope it isn't.
But as I say, I'm making assumptions and probably overthinking it. :o

Tina Obrien said in an interview that Sarah will have frequent visions and flashbacks of Cllum, she is also watched by someone at his funeral and Bethany receives gifts from a "secret admirer". Gemma did tell David to watch his back, so maybe Callums mate are the ones behind it but I think it would be a good twist if it turned put to be Callum himself. I have a feeling that the police will eventually question Denton to then find out that he is also missing. So the police might assume that he has ran away because he was the one who done it. When really its his body that has been misidentified as Callum.
Yeah its a pretty rubbish theory but I would prefer this to happen than someone simply getting arrested for it and then thats that.

Sarah is clearly unwell. The man she thought was Callum in yesterday's episode looked nothing like him when I paused the shot. It was just a tall man with dark hair dressed similarly to Callum.
It's also a known psychological phenomenon that people who are grieving often see their deceased loved one's face in a crowd. I experienced this myself repeatedly when my father died and it was very unnerving. I imagine that Sarah, although not exactly grief-stricken, is experiencing something similar due to stress and trauma.
As I've explained before, misidentification is highly unlikely with today's science. Even if there hasn't yet been a definitive DNA identification, the pathologist will have been able to say whether or not the body is the same height, body shape, hair colour, age etc as Callum. Denton looked nothing like him.

They can still get around that although it would take longer and perhaps more expertise than a local pathologist.
Anyway, the body wasn't run over. The concrete and metal cover over the manhole were broken under the weight of the vehicle and the wheel sank into the hole a little, that's all. I doubt if the body was significantly damaged. The police would have already said if ID would be difficult due to damage caused by the truck. All that was mentioned was decomposition.
Bearing in mind that this is a soap its perfectly feasible that the body is not Callum. David dumps body of Callum whom he presumes is dead. Callum wakes up in hole in Gails boudoir. Crawls out of hole and kills one of his druggie pals and dumps him in hole along with his plastic card. If the body is badly decomposed there may not be any prints but DNA identification will prove who it actually is. No mention has been made of this by the polis who of course are stilll at the scene

He was wrapped tightly in a blanket, which he'd have had to wriggle his way out of in a tiny space with a serious head injury. It surely wouldn't be worth the risk of returning to the scene afterwards with a dead body in tow?
Also, even without a DNA identification, they'll know by now that the body was very tall and thin with black hair. Denton was bald and chubby if I remember correctly; it would be a huge coincidence if Callum killed someone as unusually tall and thin as himself.
I know I'm making a big assumption here that the police investigating Callum's death aren't quite as inept as some we've seen in soap, but I really can't see how it's feasible now that it wasn't Callum in the hole if they want the story to have some semblance of reality.

I didnt say it was a likely scenario just a way of keeping Callum in it. As you say some soap police are inept. What about the headless body that was identified in the Walford Canal and later the soap police were proved wrong

That was EE! :D Plus Sharon identified the body after it had been in the canal for nine months or some such. I'm surprised the police let her look at what was left after that long in the water... :sick:
Of course, forensic techniques known to anyone who's watched an episode of CSI can be ignored by the Corrie team if they so wish but they're going to lose all credibility if they do so. Callum wasn't a popular character with fans so it doesn't seem worth it to me. I suppose I might be more convinced if it was an important and well liked character who was killed and buried in Gail's manhole... :p
Why is everyone so stupid on the street? Why isn't anyone thinking straight away that they could blame tony for the murder??
One of the highlights of the Callum storyline for me is that Todd and Billy have been dragged into it. I found their scenes discussing whether Sarah murdered Callum compelling and very convincing.
I feel like an idiot not to have realised the uncharacteristically helpful Phelan was behind the theft of Norris' roof. It's so very obvious with hindsight... :o

bethany has friends were they ever shown before even when she was bullied
bethany has friends were they ever shown before even when she was bullied
There was a half-hearted attempt to explain all the guests at her party by saying they were more interested in Callum's body than Bethany. Plus, bullies would normally wait until their victim was on her own rather than in a group of friends.
However, this lack of thought is another indication of Corrie's current lack of interest in building believable characters and storylines. I suppose we're to assume that Bethany's bullying problem was solved because the perpertrators were impressed that she apparently has an older boyfriend with a car... :searchme:

Bearing in mind that this is a soap its perfectly feasible that the body is not Callum. David dumps body of Callum whom he presumes is dead. Callum wakes up in hole in Gails boudoir. Crawls out of hole and kills one of his druggie pals and dumps him in hole along with his plastic card. If the body is badly decomposed there may not be any prints but DNA identification will prove who it actually is. No mention has been made of this by the polis who of course are stilll at the scene

Very much so; I think they have a very believable chemistry and the fact that Billy confides in Todd instead of Sean says it all. I'm really hoping they get together (but only after Billy finishes with Sean).

Steve recuperating from his depression in Spain is a retcon as far as I'm concerned. That was never mentioned while he was gone, plus I'm sure his depression had been miraculously cured a while since. Michelle isn't a sympathetic character but, as far as she knew at the time, her husband had abandoned her, so I'm on her side in this situation (despite the fact I have a long-standing soft spot for Steve :wub:).

That must have been a first tonight. A really novel idea and a inspirational piece of writing. Billy and Todd give each other an innocent hug in the street and who should coincidentally be there to see them, but - gasp - Sean. I don't think this idea has ever been thought of before.

:D
I've noticed that an awful lot of Corrie stories rely on coincidental meetings/sightings/overheard conversations to move them along.
Just in this episode we also had Todd noticing Lee skulking into the ginnel, and Beth meeting Tim (and Sophie, who was needed in the scene to save the day) in the street when she was on her way to his place to give him a piece of her mind.
Characters in conflict seem to accidentally bump into each other every time they step foot out of doors in Coronation Street. How many times did Anna just happen to catch sight of or meet Phelan when he first came back to the street? He seemed to be around every corner and in the pub/bistro/cafe every time she was. Strangely, now that storyline's been resolved, they virtually never bump into each other - despite Phelan now living on the same street... :wall:
I think that happens in all soaps, but maybe more so in Corrie at the moment, now there are several storylines nearing an end ...
Sean is of course now going to kick off.. yawn..probably in the most public place he can arrange... its like hes done this before and I didntt enjoy it then.
Jason is doing my nut in, hurry up and leave chap.
Tod the actor is growing on me, he did his leaving bit, had a couple of seconds on doctor who then nowt, so he is back and throwing his all into his role just like Sarah. I suspect J boy will be back soon.

I am not Sean's biggest fan but I can see why he would be worried about Todd and Billy given Todd's past with Marcus
I think Billy should tell Sean about his brother, there must be more that he is keeping it a secret from him
I like Todd too, Bruno plays him so well
I do think Todd and Billy have chemistry but not another affair let Billy end things with Sean before he starts a relationship with Todd

To be fair to Bruno he did quite a bit while away from the street, it was that most of his work wasn't on the small screen. He did Doctor Who, League of Gentleman and Dalziel and Pascoe. In the theatre he has done, Romeo and Juliet, The Mouse Trap, Flash Dane, A Taste of Honey, Calendar Girls and the odd panto. Plus he and his family are musicians. He started his own band "Bruno Langley and the Wonderland Band."

As with children, pets only appear when they play some role in the latest plot. Otherwise they are forgotten about and spend all day in their kennel or cat basket. Talking of which, there does seem to be an underrepresentation of cats in soaps. There's a few dogs but hardly any cats.

Corrie started off with Bobby the cat ... now they show a cat in the beginning but you are right, parkerman, can´t think of any pet cat in any of the soaps :(
Maybe Liz has taken Rover to Spain ... because poor Michelle surely would not have the time to look after the dog doing 3 jobs on her own :p:wall: I presume we don´t get to see pets or children too often as they would cost the production team money every time they appear so yes, kids and pets only when a storyline requires them

It was total rubbish the way Billy just dumped Sean. I have always liked Sean. He cares about other people so much, such a nice guy and funny too, and every time he ends up heartbroken. Him and Billy were good in the beginning, there was even good chemistry there, but the writer just wanted to break them up!! They have made Billy a total whinger and crybaby-he was a good character before. I'm glad they have changed Todd more back to himself. I surely hope he doesn't give in to Billy and stays loyal to Sean. Maybe him and Sean could finally have a go together?? Sean used to have a crush for Todd.

Another two "coincidental" meetings in just one episode then. Cathy and Alex at the bus stop just as he was showing Gemma (for some strange reason) his video and then Todd walking into the bar just as Billy and Sean were holding hands. Where would Corrie be without its coincidental meetings? Maybe the scriptwriters would have to work a little harder to think up some more plausible scenarios?
Anyway, on to other things.....I think the worst thing Billy and Todd could have done was a) try and stop Sarah going to the funeral and b) seeing his coffin lowered into the grave. She needs to have closure and to actually see Callum buried would have been the best thing to help do this. After all, that's really the whole rationale behind funerals.

Pealan, that actors really lucked in, came in as a sort of bit part and is reaping the rewards of a job well done, then so did Carla, her first epp was as a notch on Jasons bed post, well before she came back in as Carla (sorry im rubbish with the real actors names)
So did Phelan pay the kebab girl to tell Jason about the crew from the Dog after him? If so shes a very weak link and will be the fall of the scam, but it will be too late by then I guess or maybe evil genius Todd will win out.
Norris has no one to bounce off so they send in Kirky, Noris needs a new shop girl or man.

Appears if people are upset because of trouble with their partners they think the solution is to sleep with somebody else, unprotected, of course so that an "unexpected" surprise pregnancy is the result, often leading to a Who Is The Daddy storyline :wall::wall::wall:

I was commenting on the blatant slut-shaming. Blaming the woman for sexual transgressions whilst letting the man off the hook is unacceptable in my opinion, though unfortunately very common.
Whilst it's not good to sleep with someone in a relationship, most of the blame must fall on the person who's cheating surely?

I disagree, Steve is the one who committed to Michelle not Leanne.
Anyway, if it was Steve, Michelle's just left him so he's technically unattached. Not nice of him to jump straight into bed with someone else, but if he's told Leanne Michelle's left him I really don't see how she can bear any blame. Ironically, she might feel more guilty than him!

At one point i thought it was Robert then Zeedan. I hate this who shot JR approach. They must be desperate for storylines
I've seen speculation this is Kate Oates' brainchild, even though these episodes are still credited to Stuart Blackburn. It's apparently typical of her obsession with affair and baby storylines (although as I don't watch Emmerdale I can neither confirm nor deny that assertion). It doesn't really bode well for Corrie's future if that is the case...
I was really hoping things would improve. In one article it says that steve and leanne get close before this one night stand as she supports him with dealing with his troubles with michelle. What scenes were they?
This all unfortunately means more scenes with Simon, Tracy. Michelle and Steve

Leanne's man looked tall which leads me to think Robert

They had two scenes together in the last week or so if I remember correctly, so a lot of effort was obviously put into their burgeoning relationship... :wall:

Yes, the camera angle made him look tall. I hope the Steve spoilers were lies to keep us guessing.
is leanne gone back to her old profession :p
she wasn't drunk

More interesting though than the usual Who Is The Daddy storyline :D
Whats with Beth and Tracy all of a sudden calling each other Babe every 5 mins. Pat was not provided with details to run the bank account or gven permission before Jason went and Pat is not a stupid man. So why did they make him act stupid today as if he had total control!
I dont care about Caz and her leg
I cannot stand Izzy's acting. Her crying scenes are so badly done i did not feel sympathetic at all just annoyed! Her prison cell also did not look as if it was disabled friendly.
But i believe in her cause

How pathetic was Tracey collapsing in the Gennel?
you just know that if that had been done in Emmerdale or EastEnders it would have had a bit of umph. Dramatic it wasn't. And itv want 6 episodes a week, even Dame Oates won't be able sort this shower out, do me a favour.

Sad to see Jason go, a good solid character who will be sorely missed. Ryan's last few scenes were excellent, especially with Sarah and you could feel the real emotion with both Sue and Bruno in those final scenes. I know in an interview I read Bruno said he found it hard doing those last scenes with Ryan.
I hope he will return to the street at some point, I have read that Ryan intends to go to Drama school and study. Good on him. I hope Ryan does well and we see him in different roles in the future. Interesting he has said he does not plan to emigrate over the pond. I could see Ryan doing some action roles like Strike Back or a Spooks type drama. Don't go down the reality route Ryan, (apart from the jungle) you are too good for that.
oh eileen is she blind she used be wise
She is horrible now. Anyway loved Dev and Mary today

Well blow me down! Michael walks into the pub just as Phelan and Eileen are raising Andy and Steph's rent. What are the odds against that, eh?

Eileen used to be very watchable but nowadays I really dislike her (and it started long before she teamed up with Phelan). :thumbsdow
I think I might have said this before but I'd love to go on a night out with Mary. She's so much fun! :D

Plus Billy walked by the flower shop just in time to rescue Todd as he was flailing around helplessly. :p
I'm not getting why Phelan looked so worried after the feeble Michael threatened him. He swatted him like a fruit fly last time...
I wonder why he wanted Steph and Andy out of the flat? Perhaps to put one of his dodgy mates up (no doubt he'd persuade Eileen to lower the rent again - in Jason's best interest of course :wall:).
Todd and Billy are so cute together :D They have great chemistry and I think they'd make a cute couple. Billy is a good influence on Todd. I know Todd has always been the "bad guy" (well, since he came back, he was nice before he left). It seems like the producer wants to redeem him lately. He seems.. human. He has been nice to Tracey, Billy, Sean etc. Is he really changing for the better? I hope so! Although I sorta liked it when Todd was an a**hole. It was fun to watch.

Todd needs to keep some nastiness to take on Phelan :p

Who's going to finally sort out Phelan? Todd? Michael? Joint effort? Or someone completely different?

I think Todd will definitely have a hand in it and Michael seems to have the bit between his teeth. Billy might also play a part if he's in a relationship with Todd (since the latter has already confided his opinion of Phelan to the vicar).
However, I still feel Todd is the only person in Coronation Street clever enough to take down Phelan.

todd for sure helped by anna

He is hardly keeping an eye on what hes doing. I expected Todd to make a fuss about phelan being left in charge

I agree, but I suppose he's got other things on his mind at the moment and isn't paying attention. I think Todd being involved in both the Phelan and Billy storylines at the same time must be too complex for the Corrie writers to handle. :p

It has to be Michelle. She is a legend. Fantastic Actress.
Oh dear it looks like I missed my Meds again

Meds or not, I think you could be right Alan. :D
The way Michelle is bigged up at every turn, I think it's evident that not only is Steve lucky to have her, so is everyone who lives on Coronation Street (and us viewers!). Of course she's the only resident capable of sorting out Phelan and putting the street to rights! :bow:

We need Kiddiecop back.....
LOL. Todd is still mischievous and manipulative. He could have waited to give Billy his phone, yet he didn't. So many brilliant lines in this episode Todd telling Sean "better be careful or you're gonna drift apart" LOL, I see what you did there Todd. And then Billy's “why stick your nose into my love life unless it’s about you and me” .
is lee in rehab, did sarah scare him clean
Good episode full of nice scenes between Todd and Billy. Their burgeoning relationship along with Billy's (and Todd's to a much lesser extent) guilt feel very realistic. They're both very good actors.
Did I detect Kylie feeling slightly unwell? :eek:

Eileen deserves everything she gets, I hope Phelan takes her to the cleaners.
There are many women that fall for the charm of conmen because they are always very plausible and appear very caring. Even Deirdre fell for the "airline pilot" who was in reality selling ties in an airport shop. That does not mean they deserve it and I hope Eileen does not lose her home or the money Jason inherited from Tony

I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for Eileen because she's being so unpleasant and stubborn about Phelan. I dislike him much more though so I hope she (and Jason) doesn't lose everything and Phelan gets his comeuppance.

Love is blind .. others always see something wrong much quicker than the person involved and you just don´t want to accept when somebody else is trying to warn you ... same as Belle in Emmerdale ...

True, and I'd have sympathy with Eileen (just as I did with Deirdre) if she wasn't so smug and vile towards everyone who warns and/or disagrees with her.

But then, if you see your really unsuitable partner doing things for you (or so you think) you would defend them, right? :)

Yes, but it's quite possible to do so without being a complete bitch! :p
As I said not long ago in another thread, Eileen never used to be so nasty and the change happened before Phelan came on the scene. I don't have much sympathy for her because I don't like her (which didn't used to be the case at all). She seems to revel in insulting and looking down her nose at people.

I can see her being totally unsettled with what has gone on in her life the last couple of years .. I think she is lashing out because she wants to protect what she thinks is a relationship that will be good and last ...
Todd is hungover and jealous :D And he admitted to Tracy he likes Billy yaaaas :D
Oh god why can't he just tell Billy already. What is he so afraid of. Trying to say he doesn't remember confessing his feelings to him, what BS!
That kiss was AMAZING! :D

I want it to be Nick after tonight (and so does Leanne - which means it won't be him).
Tracy gets her happy ending... :wall:
The many references to Deirdre were lovely, but I had to laugh when Ken stated Deirdre knew how to handle Tracy. That's not my memory of their relationship! :D

Somehow I don't think it will be, "That's my boy!"

Probably not!
She's likely to be fuming because she's very protective of Sean. Hopefully she'll be supportive when she calms down and realises Todd did nothing wrong this time, but knowing Eileen that'll take a while.
I never know how Eileen will react to anything now as she has an ever changing personality that justifies everything in her head.
So she will probably be two faced about it all

I must admit I like it too, despite my usually intense dislike of Tracy. Her friendship with Todd brings out her genuine side - something we rarely see otherwise. I can cope with her when she's behaving like that.
