Becky is like the wayward teenage daughter Roy and Hayley never had, only she appreciates them more, it's brilliant.

I like your description
Kylie's fake sickie and recovery was funny
Gail did the right thing helping Becky
Yes, Kylie was very funny and thank you, Gail !!!
Can't wait for Monday's episode to see the smug look wiped off Tracyluv's face :D
Kylie was brilliant! when she falls to the floor and she looks up at Becky and tells her to go!
Its weird as even though you know that its wrong to want Becky to get the records you really want her to suceed. I love her relationship with Roy and Hayley as well. I read that Julie Hesmondhalgh really cried during her final scenes as she will miss working with her so much. It reminds me of how Fiz was with them a few years ago.
My favourite quote was definitley at the end when Becky says to Kyle, "im off to go get a cider stain out of me glad rags" or something along those lines.

What a superb couple of episodes of Corrie tonight. Katherine Kelly was brilliant tonight and her acting just showed how pitiful an actress Kate Plank actually is. Tonight she reminded me of a famous personality with her tombstone like teeth, Arkle with lipstick.
Not only was the acting great but the script was wonderful, witty and well written. There is now no point in Traceyluv. Time she got the sack.
Coronation Street aired Becky McDonald's final scenes tonight (Monday) as her revenge scheme played out with a shock twist.
As widely reported in the build-up to the dramatic episodes, Becky gatecrashed her arch-rival Tracy Barlow's wedding to Steve - armed with proof that the schemer had been telling wicked lies about her miscarriage.
However, in a surprising turn of events which had been kept under wraps by show bosses, Becky let the ceremony go ahead - deciding that Steve (Simon Gregson) and Tracy (Kate Ford) deserved each other after the way they had treated her.
It was only after Steve and Tracy tied the knot that Becky exacted her revenge, exposing the truth during the pair's wedding reception at The Rovers.
Handing an envelope to Steve, Becky told her ex-husband: "These are Tracy's medical records, showing that when she fell down my stairs - and that's fell, folks, not pushed - there were no babies.
"Now whatever she's been through, and trust me I would not wish that on my worst enemy, it was nothing to do with me. Your shiny new wife's a filthy liar."
Exposing Deirdre's part in covering up Tracy's deception, Becky then told Ken: "She knew - isn't that right, Dreary? Filthy liars - they run in the family."
Having cleared her name, Becky decided that it was time to leave Weatherfield and start a new life in Barbados with Danny Stratton (Jeremy Sheffield) and his young son.
Although Steve rushed to the airport and begged Becky for another chance, she rejected his pleas and stuck with Danny - before flying off into the sunset.
Katherine Kelly, who played the role of Becky, announced her decision to leave Coronation Street last April and filmed her final scenes in December.
The 32-year-old is now working on a new production of Oliver Goldsmith play She Stoops to Conquer at the National Theatre in London.
Coronation Street continues on Thursday at 8.30pm on ITV1.

Katherine was great but tbh I expected better from the episode, Kate's acting was brutal loved Becky calling Dreary and getting her happy ever after ending
Katherine kelly will certainly be missed. I even shed a little tear when she was saying by to roy and hayley! There were some brilliant lines this evening. Especially when becky was talking to K
en about Dreary!! Also norris face when he realised that he had missed the action! What is he like

i'm not usually a big fan of corrie, out of the big 3 i enjoy it the least, i prefer its superior northern sister in the dales. however tonights eps were very well written and acted very well, particuarly by katherine. loved the scene with roy and hayley. the only downside was kate ford. ive never really rated kate (she dosent come close to charlie brookes) kate can do bitchy but cannot do emotional. loved gails face tonight, made me smile. so 9/10 tonight for corrie. thoroughly enjoyed it. it may have given itself a few brownie points for weds nta's.

Becky gave Steve a last chance to believe her. If he shown the slightest hint of softening I believe she would have given him the evidence. As he totally rejected her again she decided to lumber him with Tracy.

I agree. :cheer:
Although we knew basically what was going to happen the writers still managed to keep us on tenterhooks. Will she? Won't she? The suspense was killing!
And, after the speculation that she might not go to Barbados after all but just clear off on her own, the ending was a fitting tribute to Katherine giving Becky such a happy ending. Let's hope it's not completely ruined in a few years when the scriptwriters decide to break up her relationship off air

As echoed in previous posts Kate Ford was completely out acted by everyone even little Amy and Simon
Katherine Kelly as Becky was awesome completely flawless from her emotions, expressions and delivery, I felt teary eyed at her goodbyes with Kylie and the Croppers
Becky really will go down in history as one of the best characters ever in Corrie imo and I do hope she returns in the future, I loved her last light when she realised the drinks in first class was free about plonking the bottle down
Steve looked so pale when he got to the airport must be the realisation that he is married to Tracey set in
I think if Steve and Tracey hadnt said anything at the reception to Becky she would have just left quietly without giving Steve the medical records
I can't stand Tracy Barlow as a Character and I think Kate Ford is pathetic.
But what a quality, quality episode. Everything that Corrie does best, right down to Gail and David deciding they should "stay away from the Rovers" before sniggering to each other and going in.
And I'm so happy she left with the delectable Jeremy Sheffield...swoon!!!
GO BECKY!!!!!

When she didn't stand up in church to stop the service I thought she was just going to walk away broken hearted, because she was devasted that Steve didn't believe her about Tracy's lies it was written all over her face, but I'm glad she saved it for the pub,shame Norris and Mary missed the fun though they will be gutted. The scene on the street with Becky, Roy and Hayley was beautifully done. Credit to all three actors Tracy let the episode down with her poor acting.

Yep exactly DT! i liked when Paula Lane was saying if you have had to do a scene fighting with Katherine you would be knackered at the end of the day! or when she said she was swinging round that sledgehammer and she said it was really heavy!
I expected a better bigger backlash against Tracey tonight maybe a smack to her from Hayley or Kylie

It would be completely out of character for Hayley to hit anyone. I'm not sure what lizann was expecting but I think the backlash was big enough last night especially from Steve and Ken.

Yeah I'm fed up with Carla. I like Peter but I see no chemistry between him and Carla, but if the writers want veiwers who are we to argue. Is is just me or do you feel that William Roach resents Katie Ford coming back. In tonight's episode he was having a real go at Tracy and her lies that she told about Becky. Granted everything he said about Tracy's antics were right but at one point I was expecting him to yell out if she hadn't returned Becky would still be on the street.

When Alison King came into Corrie her character was strong and it worked well when she was married to Michelle's brother, but once he died the writers have just used her as a bit of a tart to break up relationships. Now that is all she is used for even the story with Frank she was happy for Maria to sleep with Frank for business and did herself and if Frank hadn't raped her she would still be sleeping with guys for business deals for the factory. There is only so long that they can go with a story or character before it gets boring and this is what is happening with Carla. If it continues I can see Alison saying bye bye to the street or she is given the boot, because I think the writers are struggling to think what do to with Carla.
I don't understand why Carla and Peter's affair can save Frank in the rape trial, surely Carla is allowed to have another partner??? The evidence Frank has gathered is way after the rape occurred.

That's exactly what i thought. But I think he is going to try and prove that Carla was having the affair with Peter when the "alleged" rape took place and she was just accusing him as a way of getting out of their relationship...or something like that.

The prosecution will use it to destroy Carla's character. It's a common tactic it rape trials making it appear that she will jump into bed with any man. The fact that Peter is married makes it worse. Frank will say that the sex was consensual. This is one of the main reasons so few rapes lead to a successful prosecution. Wrong I know but unfortunately true.

ali king deserves a bafta for her performance.

Hayley even doubted Becky's innocent she should be mad as hell at Tracey ok maybe not hit but at least give her a verbal tongue lashing and Kylie would be feisty enough to hit Tracey I guess I just wanna see Tracey get a smack I could do it if I was allowed :p
Paul and Eileen are another couple with no chemistry in a boring storyline
Peter and Carla's affair coming out at the trial of course will help Frank as it shows Carla as kinda promiscuous sleeps with married men etc and she did jump in bed not too long after being raped with Peter not that should get Frank off though

oh and another thing, its a rape trial, surely they would have been designated separate entrances and not able to have a chat on the steps of the court!

oh and another thing, its a rape trial, surely they would have been designated separate entrances and not able to have a chat on the steps of the court!
I think you are right, even though Frank is on bail, there should have been a mechanism for getting the witnesses to arrive separately, and stay separate?

That's what defence lawyers are for. Of course, in the end Peter's evidence was turned on him by Frank somehow knowing that when his mother passed Leanne the envelope she would stand up in court and shout out from the gallery...hmmm...
As for Maria's evidence I think it was helpful to Carla. Of course the defence is going to try and put her down and make it sound as though it was her fault but the jury has to consider whether it can be just coincidence that this has happened twice with Frank and that both times it was the woman's fault. If the prosecution lawyer is any good he will draw attention to this in his summing up. No, I think Maria's evidence is actually helpful.
I have to say Franks Barrister was pretty ruthless!! I think her speeches were pretty accurate. I think it was helpful for Carla as well as with any evidence its the defences job to turn it on its head.

Leanne could have just walked out with them If I was the prosecution, I would be going to see Mrs Barlow and asking her why she suddenly shouted. If shetells how she got the photo, it would not go down well for Frank.

Yes, that's exactly the point I was making. How did Frank know what her reaction would be? She could have just walked out without the histrionics, then what would have happened?

It's up to the prosecution to use it to show how ruthless Frank is as well in getting his own way.

watching thurs excellent ep of coronation st i noticed the gulf between the good and the bad. on one side you have the creme da la creme, the superb carla, leanne and chris. and on the other side you have brian, fiz, dev, tracey, simon and sean. The latest character of brian is truly awful, a updated version of reg holdsworth who i could not bare. when corrie gets its comedy right it is simply the best, but when it goes ott with the likes of brian and julie it is laughable. remember the et ep. awful. i think corrie needs the excellent daran little back. hes done wonders in that other southern soap. and we have sean returning soon, could he not stay in the jungle along with wallace and gromit :D

i had to read what you posted half a dozen times for it to sink in. i had to go and lie down for a bit, i was taken aback by what you said. i've ad a cup of tea and a hob nob, so i'm ok now. ali king is not that good an actor? its like saying alex fergusson is not that good a manager and man u are not that good a football team. ali king is not that good an actor, ali king is not that good an actor. i ave to keep saying it, because i cannot believe youve posted this. utter disbelief. i may need thearpy, either that or a bag of chips.

i didn't cry!!!!! peter and carla are meant to be, they are soul mates, unlike leanne. curly simon will get over it. he can always stop with grandad and dreary. or better still stop with leanne and our toyah in london.
I'm sorry but I dont see any chemistry between Carla and Peter they share a love of alcohol that is all
Simon would be better with Leanne
I love to see Leanne back with Toyah
I could have cried when Simon ran after the car.

Just as I cannot believe you think she is one of the best actors on Corrie. However I did not feel the need to go and lie down. She is an average actor at best.her portrayal of a rape victim was just ok. Nothing more nothing less. There a a lot better than her on corrie and yes a few that are worse. She's nothing special whatsoever..

imo shes the best thing to come out of the cobbles since the wonderful pat phoenix
I think that was the first time and also has Simon been calling Leanne mum for a while?
I've noticed he's alternated between Mum and Leanne for a while. Can't really work it out!

fair point, although surrane has not been in weatherfield for sometime, but i did watch one of my box sets the other day (50th celebrations) and saw the ep where surrane was at the church getting wed to steve, and tracey luv came to stop the wedding. very funny and corrie at its best. sadly the great maggie jones is no longer with us but i have mentioned jane in previous threads. at the end of the day im obviously a fan of ali and we will not agree on this one. but isnt that what this forums for! it would be quite boring if we all liked the same actors. :angel:

Do they not have the same planning laws in Weatherfield as in the rest of the country?

Coronation Street writer Jonathan Harvey has defended the references to Salford during Friday night's episode.
Fans took to Twitter to express their surprise after the area was name-checked twice during yesterday's 8.30pm edition of the long-running ITV soap.
Many pointed out that they had always assumed Weatherfield was based on Salford, rather than being an actual part of the real Salford.
"Twice in tonight's #Corrie they've called it Salford not Weatherfield. Have they moved the whole street overnight?" asked one user, while another posted: "Why is everyone on Corrie suddenly mentioning that they live in Salford?? I thought Weatherfield was meant to *be* Salford??"
During Roy's (David Neilson) argument with Milton (Robert Vaughn) about his business plans, the Street regular said: "This is not Manhattan, you know. It's a Salford backstreet. I suggest, before you start getting carried away with yourself, you get a pretty big reality check."
Later in the episode, as Jason (Ryan Thomas) discussed the possibility of reuniting with Rosie (Helen Flanagan) in the future, he commented: "I doubt it, you're going places. I'm just an ordinary Salford lad who works on a builder's yard, who goes to his local boozer. That's it."
Responding to the queries, Harvey wrote: "it has always been set in Salford, Weatherfield is a ficitonal borough of Salford, has been since ep 1"
After a fan tweeted: "imagine if the BBC moved Enders from Walford to Poplar. Corrie's been in Weatherfield for 50 yrs FFS!" the writer replied: "Weatherfield has always been a district or suburb of Salford and not Manchester. I was being loyal to the original episodes."
Harvey concluded: "For those of you convinced by references to Salford tonight in Corrie. Weatherfield is and always has been a district of Salford, not manc"
Filming on Coronation Street is to relocate to the new MediaCityUK complex at Salford Quays in the future, after the move was approved by Trafford Council last year.
Flanagan's Rosie Webster bid farewell to the Street during Friday night's episode.

In spite of the main thrust of last night's two episodes being Rawsie's leaving I found the scenes with Roy's mother the best parts and very touching. Stephanie Cole is a wonderful actress. Surely she must wonder sometimes what on Earth she is doing in the same drama as Kate Ford and Michelle Collins (to name just two...).

Didn't like Rosie's departure myself, it just seemed like a quick way to write her out. Plus when she had to do some acting that wasn't just pouting or being indignant for the first time in about two years it really showed that she wasn't very good. Which is odd, she was great as a kid and through all the stuff with Craig and now she's terrible. And of course the obligatory tiny vest top in Janaury, maybe that was supposed to distract us.

Simon has a strange accent for a boy bought up in Australia by a mother who didn't appear to have an accent:hmm:

Yet.....
I normally like him but I think the current storyline has been a bit too much for him
I prefer seeing him over Kirsty, Carla, Stella, Sally, Tracey and Eva :p give more air time I say
yeh hes still very young, but hes certainly got potential. Compared to some of the kids that have appeared on corrie hes better than most

Simon's ability to speak sets him apart from a lot of soap kids. A lot of them only seem to utter about 3 words before they get traded in for a teenager. Remember Bethany and the original Amy? God they were awful!

I agree, very few good soap kids around and Bethany and especially the original Amy were hopeless.
I hope they are going to make more use of Noah in Emmerdale again, another young talent they seem to have forgotten about lately.
They need to introduce another young child Simon's age in Corrie since Joshua Peacock left, poor kid needs a mate in the neighbourhood.

I'm not really a fan of alex bain. i think he is probably the best young actor cs has had since jack p shepherd, although jack was around 12 when he started playing david. i agree the scenes may have been a bit to much for him. emmerdale has some excellent child actors, eden taylor-draper who plays belle, joe warren plant who plays jacob, he has some great scenes with david and jack downham who plays noah shows great promise. for me the best child actor has to be maisie smith from ee who plays tiff. for an actor so young she has great comic timing.

I agree - Maisie Smith is fantastic!!! I know alot is in the hands of the writers, but she does sweet, sensible, comedy, and always steals the scene from whoever she is with - even Patsy Palmer and Michael French...

yes, but they arent in the same class as Alex Bain/Simon? they are a three word limit...

Have Milton and Sylvia gone, then? I do hope not! I love Sylvia and hope any absence is only temporary. As for Milton, I think he's a great addition, and hoped he'd be around for longer than he has been. He's not even had any big storylines :( .

Yeah, it was really funny, but I'm sure the writers will forget Gail and Audrey's getting fit storyline now Lewis back.
Aww...Roy and Sylvia love each other really.:wub:
I've noticed the last couple of episodes were written to an even highter standard than usual, with some realy witty lines.

Good question. Don't know but we will see
It is good that Sylvia is back bet she misses Milton's Yankee Doodle Dandy :p
Sick of Stella being everyone's agony aunt
Deirdre was very angry at Lewis I bet she is jealous he still wants Audrey and not her miserable sore puss dreary
What is the backstory on Katy's mother, Owen's wife did she die?
Who would let Brian bring chips into the medical centre when Julie was going to see the doctor and yet this fella lBrian ectures Kylie on what she has to feed Max total hypocrite

Why? It's just a plot device for us to find out what is worrying certain characters.

They don't have to use St. Ella. There are much better characters than her, ones that can actually act and the viewers care about. She has only arrived on the street and now the blessed St. Ella is everyones's pal.
The only plot device in her being everyones agony Aunt is to promote her character into every storyline in a futile attempt to make her popular. FAIL!!!!!!!

Good for you. I do think you are in the minority though not just on here but on other forums. Of course if we all liked the same this would be a boring place

I loke Michelle Collins as an actress, and I think the Stella character could've become a street icon, but it has been spoilt by force feeding us Stella over drive, too much too soon. She is everyone's best friend within minutes of arriving on the street withour allowing her to 'bed in' first
thats the writers at fault

and Phil Collinson. They had a chance to get rid of her when Carla run her down.. The y should have. Instead she ends up buying the pub

absolutely!! she is obviously flavour of the month (year) and we are going to be stuck with her, so its a shame they didnt do it gently and make us like the character first!! The Leanne/mother reunion could've been prolonged and shown the agonising from Stella's side more, to make us feel for her...instead it was rushed, and they went from strangers, to hating each other to best friends virtually overnight

If St. Ella gets him into her back room he's doomed
"Oh Dear, What can the matter be,
Stella slept with Les flamin' Battersby,
Giving advice from Monday to Saturday
It really gets on me wick!"

I was prepared to give Stella the benefit of the doubt when she first appeared and everyone was moaning about her dodgy accent. She hasn't grown on me, though - in fact, she ruins every scene she's in for me. That accent doesn't sound any more natural to me, either.
Jessie Wallace did a great accent when she played Pat Phoenix in The Road to Coronation Street, so I know it can be done by a southerner (and an ex-Eastender to boot).

Couldn't believe it when Katy had a go at Chesney for going out to work all the time, what did she expect to happen?! Don't really have much sympathy for her in this storyline, she wanted to have a baby and considering she had Ches, Fiz, Izzy, Anna and Owen she's in a much better position than some.
I was sympathetic - she's so young, and didn't have a clue what she was letting herself in for. I just hope this storyline is a lesson for the young people watching.

I had no sympathy with either....
Kty was told by Owen when she got pregnant how much hard work it was, and ignored him and Ches, when given the chance to finish work at a lunchtime, and go and spend time with his son - chose to help paint white lines in the market!! He has changed half a dozen nappies and fallen asleep on the sofa holding a sleeping baby and its job done..

It wasn't just Katy's idea. It was also her stupid improbable boyfriend's idea to prove they were all grown up

Well, put it this way: Jessie Wallace as Pat Phoenix didn't grate on me and sound false, whereas Michelle Collins as Stella sounds completely false to me, even after all these months. I used Jessie Wallace as an example to show that it isn't just an actor speaking differently than normal which grates on me.
I didnt mind Stella at first but she is in every scene now and it is way too much

Perhaps it's just me but I have never noticed a problem with her accent. I am more interested in what she has to say rather than the way she says it.
Perhaps it's just me but I have never noticed a problem with her accent. I am more interested in what she has to say rather than the way she says it. Her accent is rubbish. I dont know why they didnt play her as someone from London. Thats not the major problem with St. Ella Its the highly improbable storylines she has. As if the likes of Les Battersby would sleep with an oul slapper like her. Then she suddenly appears on the street, gets involved in every storyline and becomes everyones bessy mate and he font of all knowledge. I finde her and her family totally out of place on Corrie and wish that she was not so ''friendly'' with Phil Collinson
As if the likes of Les Battersby would sleep with an oul slapper like her.
I agree with everything you said except for that - personally, I find it hard to believe that Stella would have slept with Les :sick:
Les tried to sleep with any woman with half a pulse, why not Stella?

they should have has the character living down south since abandonning Leanne and used a London accent

It would appear that my sarcasm was lost on the pair of you. The implausibility of the Storyline regarding St. Ella and Les is what I was getting at :)

So why does Brian go to the Rovers for a drink? Does he live near it or is it on his way home?
Anyways I find him annoying and not funny or very uninteresting unlike Roy

Yes Brian works because of the pairing with Julie - that said if I had been Julie and he had reacted like that when I announced I was pregnant, he would not be playing happy families right now!!
