View Full Version : Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV
Episodes that yet again relied on a great many coincidences to drive the storylines (for example, Brian overhearing the meeting between Roy and the prospective buyer, Brian just happening to meet Cathy in the street straight afterwards, Adam overhearing the discussion about Johnny retiring, Eva being late for the prison visit).
There were a couple of lines that made me laugh solely due to the great acting: the way Roy scornful spat out "Councillor" to Sally during his rant in the pub, and the highly exaggerated way Phelan demanded of Andy "Are you thick?". :lol:
Its too complicated for me, Mike was the one that squeezed out Adam not a Connor and Peters only investment was with Carla. but their marriage was too short for him to be able to claim anything off her plus he was sleeping around on the night of their wedding. But the factory was owned by that scotish murderer bloke before this lot of new got involved???
Peter did legally own half the factory in his own right at one point because Carla signed half over to him during their marriage. He gave his share back when the marriage broke down.
What are the scriptwriters on and who dreamed up that story of Peter and Adam owning shares in the factory and being diddled out of them. Ridiculous. Has Peter or Adam got the money to fight this ?
It's not like me to defend Corrie recently but Adam did say something to the effect that he had no intention of suing the Connors and that he was just trying to scare some money out of them.
Whatever happened to Adam being a solicitor? I wonder if he's been disbarred because he's obviously a crooked as they come?
brian and cathy I forsee a romance with roy's blessing
go johnny true what he said about jenny
what will eva do to maria when that truth out
brian and cathy I forsee a romance with roy's blessing
go johnny true what he said about jenny
what will eva do to maria when that truth out
That's what i thought. Why do they want to keep cathy on the street now. Does not make sense
I don't mind Cathy staying on the street as long as they have plans for her other than getting her back with Roy. I like them as friends: her kindness to him tonight reminded me why I thought Cathy was a good character at first (before she was turned bitter and annoying).
I'm amazed to say that I thought there was an improvement in Aidan tonight. He seemed more animated than usual (which isn't difficult to be fair :p).
How sleazy that Peter's got Simon covering for his liaisons with Toyah. That's going to end well...
Re Shane Ward, I rekon someones given him the heads up about, if he dosent remove the wood stick from his seating area he will be back on This Morning announcing the call in competition faster than he could say Eamon your the daddy.
Cathy aka Sharpes ex wife is annoying me, I know she was in debt when she met Roy but what hapend to the house she owned and how did Alex manage to afford a new flat?
Yeah Simon is being used again by his non caring pap to cover nookie with a lady he shouldnt be nookieing... It is nice to see Toyah back, I missed the actress when she left Casualty on the Beeb

I think I said a few times before :o but Aidan and Alya would make a good couple, they have loss of a parent in common and their scenes show chemistry
Johnny did right dumping Jenny, she is vindictive and destructive but Sally plays her so well
I am glad Johnny isn't retiring as Aidan cannot manage the factory on his own or fight the Barlows
The Cathy, Roy and Brian scenes were nice
I liked that Sylvia was mentioned and it would be great to have her back
Cathy aka Sharpes ex wife is annoying me, I know she was in debt when she met Roy but what hapend to the house she owned and how did Alex manage to afford a new flat?
There was a brief mention of tenants in Cathy's house a few weeks back to explain why she's living with Yasmeen. I thought that level of detail was quite impressive* for Corrie (who usually ignore the fine print).
Alex might possibly be living in some kind of supported social housing? :searchme:
* My expectations being set very low here you understand. :p
Johnny did right dumping Jenny, she is vindictive and destructive but Sally plays her so well
Jenny's over-the-top evil expression when crossed makes me laugh. :D I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her. She's scarier than Phelan any day! :eek:
I liked that Sylvia was mentioned and it would be great to have her back
Sylvia was superb. :(

I do remember there being some discussion between Eileen and Cathy about the deposit, but I'm pretty sure no money was handed over in the end. I seem to remember Roy being relieved because he'd been against them buying a flat. I might be wrong though!
i also thought alex and cathy were invited to the pub when todd broke the news of vinny scam but i too could have remembered wrong

No following through with storylines. I mean michelle had a son plus one swapped at birth but no mention of them. Just focused on the new baby as if it is her one and only one.
Well i never saw that proposal coming. She will ruin it all somehow she cannot help herself. They are now making Gemma more over the top than before. They need to calm it down. Also this whole baby as soon as you wed thing is ridiculous

The old soak Rita wasn't going to miss out on that free champagne, was she.
Surely the cigarettes could have been explained by Peter coming to the flat to see Simon, forgot to take the ciggies with him ..
and why on earth did Johnny change his mind within seconds and even propose to Jenny? :wall::wall::angry:
I know I have missed all the episodes over the Christmas.. I just can't understand why does it have to be a secret that Peter is seeing Toyah? I was hoping better storylines for more responsible Peter though, not only romance again..

Yup, Gemma is OTT, but it did make me laugh a lot when she said she brought Johnny and Jenny together, as she was, "Playing Putrid," which Rita instantly corrected to be, "Cupid." Then Eva said, "She was right the first time."
I suppose she's a modern-day Mrs Malaprop really.

Billy is becoming the most slimy character in any soap at the moment. Absolutely LOATHE him and the way he puts strangers / waifs and strays / just about anybodt before those about whom he is supposed to care. Spent most of his time lying and deceiving Sean and now similar with Todd. What about the other thousands of people who sleep rough ? Really despise him.
Surprised he got his parish back so quickly. I think he means no harm but highly imature

Surprised? Incredible is more like it!
If my memory serves me correctly, didn't we see Billy meeting the new incumbent only a week or so back?
So how would the bishop sack/move the new guy after such a short time, just to pander to the whim of someone who doesn't know his **** from his elbow? Not that a bishop has much power to force anyone out.
In the past I spent all my time working in churches (in a secular position), so have a reasonable understanding of what goes on, and hardly any of it is true to life, especially earlier when a new priest took over the parish only a couple of weeks after Billy resigned. That alone, in real life would be an interregnum of many months.
As has been said here before about UK law not applying in Weatherfield, it seems that most conventions don't either. Sad that Corro doesn't follow a true-to-life scenario that much. There again, I watch it for the humour, not so much the story.
P.S. Any chance the mods can invoke a UK English spell-checker, not this US English one? It shows "humour" as a spelling mistake - although I was surprised it didn't query "interregnum"!

Oh, OK. I'm using Firefox on Linux Mint.
The languages I have installed are EN and EN-GB, with EN-GB being the first. I don't know what just EN is? I had a look and saw there's an option to add EN-US - if I wanted.

A far as I know your spellchecker is the one built into Firefox. I'm on my phone in bed at the moment so I'll have to compare Firefox dictionary settings tomorrow. EN-GB stands for English (Great Britain) though so your spellchecker should use UK English spelling in theory (are you sure it's the one selected?). EN usually defaults to the US spelling in my experience. I'll check tomorrow and get back to you.

When I read the Firefox article you linked to, I could see the smell-chequer is accessed by right-clicking in any text while writing on a page - such as this one, and the dictionaries can be added or changed from there. Mine was indeed EN-US. I added an EN-UK dictionary and set that as the active one to use. So no excuse for misprits any more.

Well my New Years resolution didn't last long ? I did watch off and on tonight. Bits were okay. The scene in the Kebab place was funny. I agreed with Cheesney, Sinead is an embarrassment, if I was Ches I would kick her out of the house along with the other Tinker.
As harrowing as it must be with what Michelle is going through I am not feeling the drama and its not pulling at my heart yet. Perhaps it is the wrong two characters having this story line. I get it why we have Leanne and Michelle pregnant by Stevie Sperm Whale but it isn't quite working for me. Perhaps the next episode may be different and I will change my mind.
It was nice to see Sam Barriscale ( John Archer) as the lawyer again.

I like the conversation about baby showers.
Gemma: Soon as I got to year nine, my mates were throwing one every week.
Dev: They didn't have sex education at school then?
Gemma, glancing at Dev as if he's stupid: Yeah, but not until year ten.
Behind the counter in the kebab shop, there's a poster with the line, "Pimp your meal deal! Go large for £2"
Just what does that mean? I must be missing something, there's only one use of the word pimp I'm aware of?

The most disturbing thing to me in this baby story, was what the nurse / doctor said. Something about if the baby was born not breathing at less than 24 weeks ( in this case 23 ) , it was not the policy of THIS hospital to do anything about it. Surely the baby should have the right to oxygen or resuscitation at birth?! I've hear of babies surviving at less than 20 weeks. I think if someone is pregnant this needs to be looked into before attending a hospital such as this.

Although the previous comment about "rinse and repeat" is valid - the colour is starting to fade...
Steve didn't want the baby if I remember right...
Maybe he just had to stay strong for Michelle...I feel sorry for her, she's played her part so well-do I remember right that Kym Marsh had a miscarriage herself as well?
I wonder if this will break them up though? Michelle is already so close to Robert and whether she will or won't find out the truth about Leanne's baby, I'm sure Steve will try to get closer to Leanne now..

Apart from Kim Marsh on Wednesday, there is an odd vibe about Coronation Street at the moment, looking at the ratings they are in rude health and the top soap, but as for the health of the show it is a very different story. Sad to see this much loved and cherished show in such a bad state, if this was an animal the RSPCA would put it down out of kindness to it owners (the viewers.)
Coronation Street at one time was the bench mark others tried to reach, now its the bench mark to avoid.

I haven't watched Corrie since the beginning of the stillbirth storyline and I can't say I'm tempted back because it's mostly so shockingly poor and ill thought out at the moment. I doubt I'll hold out for long though because it's a hard habit to break. :o

Being boring and technical, just how does that video camera in Webster's Garage work?
There's no cable running to it, so you'd have to assume the cable passes through the wall immediately behind it. What's on the other side of the garage where the camera is mounted? Is it tight up to a building next door? Or is there some access - giving a burglar the opportunity to cut the feed to the camera.
The camera is a video camera with IR LEDs, requiring an external power source to supply it. Also more than likely it will need a video signal output from it too, (although there's the small chance that could be on a wi-fi system, but not so secure then).
They make it sound so technical you would think they information would be saved on some sort of cloud system. So people can still access it even if equipment goes missing or destroyed

Now let me get this straight...Kev's keys are found on the floor of the garage he owns so he immediately becomes a suspect for arson. So strong is this evidence that the police don't bother with the niceties and speak to him first, but walk into a crowded pub and arrest him in public. Sounds reasonable to me.

Spot on with your sarcasm there.
You are right with the comment, plus in my opinion, just as others have said, Corro is going downhill right now.
Very sad that the producers seem to want to change it to becoming a rubbish sensationalist soap, instead of "a story of everyday folk" production with subtle humour/gentle background plots, that has kept millions of viewers watching happily for decades.
Very sad indeed.
Sadly, with Corrie now having the former Emmerdale producer I can´t see that changing back to the old times .... and Corrie has always been my personal #1 ... but that pedestal step is looking more and more crumbly these days :(

Tyrone doing his nasty twerp character again, the show always tries to make him look like the victim while he really is a vile doggy doo. Yes Kev begat a child with your lady but why mention it now after of years of saying you forgive him.
Andy is no more, but what a scum **** Steph turned out to be, she knows what the bog blocker did but still is running off to wherever leaving others to soak up the carnage.
Guess junior Platt is on the road to sexual exploitation. Her only hope is the new Becky at Roys rolls.
Hard to feel sorry for Steve, he hit a man trying to be the father of his unwanted child, a man who is still recovering from brain injury. Michele is going to leave him anyway, there can be no coming back from such a major deceit.
Chesney and the kebab girl, I feel sorry for the actress that plays the kebab girl, stuck with that plank, Smichael was a better actor.

I thought Div was short of cash so how can he then offer Cathy two part time jobs, so pleased Coronation Street is managing to live and stay in the real world. Why employ Cathy when all Gemma was doing was filling her fat face.
I would have been tempted to just gently shove Michelle off the top of the viaduct, all it would take was a gentle push, its what she wanted.
So Michelle was sitting there in the dark so must have been night time or early evening ... wanted to walk home knowing it was miles away, next it is daylight and they are still not home .. yet Steve is still sitting at home patiently waiting???? I would have wanted to know what is going on and how far would she have been able to walk in socks ??? Glad that Robert evidently did not feel the cold after giving Michelle his jacket :wall:

Tim always saves the day for me! He's so funny! ��
Yes Tim was funny and lightens the mood.i find it hard seeing Michelle treat Steve the way she does she is quite abusive. I know she has lost a baby but still no excuse for that.
I don't understand Michelle at all anymore either..Yes, she has lost a baby and I could feel the pain, the hospital scenes were very realistic..But I agree that what annoys me the most, is the way she treats Steve. And what I don't understand is what she said to Robert about him..that she hates him..I was thinking, that's it..She will finally tell the truth! But no, she went on saying that she hates Steve because he reminds her of Rory?? She also demanded Robert to admit that he had feelings for her!? How selfish is that..And after that poor guy had given her his coat and socks and walked for miles with her - that's how it looked as it was morning again in the end..She wanted Steve. But yet rested her head on Roberts shoulder. Very selfish woman. Doesn't she understand that Steve had to be strong for her? This has got to do nothing with the baby, it's just giving Michelle more excuse to hate him more. The most shocking thing was, that she didn't include Steve in the funeral arrangements. If i was him, I would never accept that.

We all grieve differently and react differently. I was fortunate enough not to have experienced this but have read on other forums that those that have had this tragic experience were identifying with Michelle and that she portrayed everything quite realistically.

I think there's quite a few terrible actors in Corrie. I wouldn't class Simon Gregson as among the worst because he's done some standout work over the years. The clown act wore thin a long time ago however.
I thoroughly enjoyed the waitress insulting Tracy in the bistro. :D
There's absolutely no question that Luke would have heard about Tracy's murderous past by now. In fact, I'm sure Kevin and Tyrone even joked about it to his face when they realised he was seeing her... :hmm:

Toyah's scenes with Leanne/Eva and Peter were well played and I'm even liking the Adam/Todd partnership (despite not being a fan of the former). However, why would he hang around Weatherfield if he hates Ken when his grandfather is the only reason he's there in the first place? :hmm:
At least we were given an explanation of how he'll be able to practice law in the UK when he qualified in Canada. Corrie is well known for ignoring the small details that make for realism so I'm grateful for small mercies. :p

The best solution for Toyah in her bid to have a baby would be to lend Amy something and tell her to get her Dad to return it when she's finished with it. She'd be pregnant in the blink of an eye!

I would think there's undoubtedly something of Rosie about Helen, but she can't be anywhere near as dim or she wouldn't have been able to hold down a job on Corrie for many years. There's an awful lot of lines to learn every day for actors who are involved in big storylines (which Rosie often used to be).
Also, it seems absurd now but at one time Rosie was supposed to be a reasonably intelligent girl for whom Sally had big plans (remember her pushy parent phase? :D), and from what I remember Helen wasn't totally unconvincing when playing her that way.

Disliking someone doesn't mean you have to demean them. I also dislike Sinead at the moment and also disapprove of cheating but that doesn't mean that I'm going to using derogatory language to demean the woman.

He went into that factory determined to have sex with Sinead (although admittedly he didn't expect her to be so keen) and had already helped her to persuade herself not to give Chesney another go because he wanted to have sex with her himself. He was no innocent in what happened in the factory but he gets a pass because he's male (there was no such leniency for Maria when she slept with a cheating Aidan).
I'm so sick to the back teeth of slut shaming and misogyny. It's everywhere and getting worse and I don't want to read it here too. Using derogatory language to describe a cheating female soap character may seem harmless, but it's on the same spectrum as pussy grabbing presidents; victim blaming of rape victims (especially if they dared to have a previous sex life, were wearing a short skirt or had had a few drinks); and the growing problem of primary school girls getting slut shamed and sexually harassed in schools. It all comes from the same place and is damaging to all girls and women (yes, even comments on a soap forum about fictional characters can help make females reading internalise feelings of shame for daring to have a sex life and behave imperfectly in society's eyes).
I'm not going to comment on this anymore but I'm going to put anyone in the habit of slut shaming on ignore so that they don't spoil my pleasure in what is usually one of the more pleasant spaces on the internet.

Absolutely spot on, Dazzle. The double standards that are applied hark back to a time when it was ok for a man to "sow his wild oats", but shameful for a woman, who had to remain faithful no matter what and, of course, a virgin until her wedding night. It is incredible that this attitude still survives. It should, of course, never have been the case but certainly should have been put to sleep once and for all in the sexual revolution of the 60s, but 50 years on, here we are.....:angry:

I was sad to see the end of Deirdre's kitchen. Just think of all those stuffed Marrow dinners she cooked. :(

And Mary?
She gave up going to Africa with her new found son, now the writers don't have a story for her in the street.

Weatherfield. Where the law of gravity doesn't apply too much.
In real life I would think Luke would be prosecuted for not taking sensible precautions before working underneath the car. I noticed that trolley jack Adam grabbed was very close nearby anyway. Why didn't Luke use it himself, before climbing underneath the car?
More scriptwriters with no practical experience of the subject they're writing about.

Does Kirk have Liam?
Sinead goes from one relationshp to another in the space of a few minutes :nono:
I liked Tim's description of Rosie

What do men see in Sinead? her voice would offend any northerner and make dogs howl. She is the northern version of Eliza Doolittle, except Professor Higgins couldn't turn this lass into a lady!
I did have to smile at Adam tonight when he dug up that biscuit barrel. :D

Well, speaking as a man I see absolutely nothing in her personally.

Sinead to Daniel "we need to take this slow" :lol:
And Mary?
She gave up going to Africa with her new found son, now the writers don't have a story for her in the street.
It was ludicrous at the time that Mary didn't go home with her son for a holiday since the plane ticket was already booked and paid for and the loose ends of her life in Weatherfield tied up. Now with the knowledge that she didn't appear on screen for many weeks afterwards it makes even less sense. :wall:
Sinead to Daniel "we need to take this slow" :lol:
I was rolling my eyes at that line too. They've gone from virgin/long-term relationship to adulterous quickie in a store cupboard to cohabiting in the space of a couple of days. I guess as long as they're not married by the end of the week Sinead will be relieved they're taking it slowly. :D
Despite me not liking the way the actress plays her, at least she is now getting a reaction from this storyline. She has not got much reaction before. I mean her not being able to walk and then by a miracle she can and then making soaps and giving beth an allergc reaction. Oh and her amazing sewing skills i think she made a corset once. Her stories have been groundbreaking.
is kev going to say sorry to ty now
scotty adam and todd like those devious pair together

Why should he say sorry to Tyrone. Tyrone is the first to throw stones.

More great humour in the script on Thursday night.
If only the scriptwriters would stick to this and not try to write unbelievable plots, while paying no attention to the details required to give them credibility.
Mary telling Tracy about a couple she knew with a large age difference:
She suffered a massive heart attack while water-skiing on their honeymoon.
He met a travel rep nearer his own age, later that week.
They now have beautiful twins and run a do-it-yourself centre in Nantwich.
"Later that week" was great, but just why does the idea of a DIY centre in Nantwich make me laugh so much when the line is delivered by Mary?

I also loved Todd calling Rosie "Pamela Escobar". :lol:
