Missed the episode but not surprised about Fiz. She's much more interested in being in self righteous, obsessive mode.Quote:

Steve, Tracy and Amy at the museum were really funny. Loved Amy getting one over on her parents, and the fact that Steve was in no hurry to take his costume off :D
That little girl, Elle Mulvaney, is proving to be an excellent actress. Her predecessor, Amber Chadwick, had to be replaced because she couldn't handle the bigger storylines. Watch that kid. She may wind up giving Alex Bain, Simon, a run for his money.Quote:

Very unrealistic storyline. They will soon run out of money.
At this point I think he did her a favor. This character has become so loathsome and Rita remains one of our great, iconic Corrie figures that it's insulting for her to remain with the likes of him.Quote:

At least that would have left Rita with a bit of dignity. So annoying , particularly when the scriptwriters have time to be a little more creative imo.
I think one point is that they don't[/B][/I] have the time. Soaps are notorious for their tight shooting schedules which result in a lot of the inadequacies we complain about; acting, direction, writing, etc.Quote:

I would agree Glen, but the writers just aren't the best let's face it.:wall:Quote:

I think there are some good writers on soaps - take Jonathan Harvey, for instance, who wrote the episodes a week or so back where Emily was addicted to Breaking Bad. They were witty episodes. The Dennis/Rita/Gloria storyline was decided before it was given to someone to write the script for it. The way Dennis behaved to Rita, waving her goodbye from the car so cruelly, was out of character :angry:Quote:

I'm a bit shocked that Marcus made the first move though :eek: At least he's genuinely remorseful and angry at himself, unlike another adulterer on the street.
Roy's back in his place in the cafe (correcting apostrophes) so all's right with the world :)
Fiz talking to Tyrone about Roy: "We'll be subtle" :rotfl:
I wouldn't argue too strenously Daz, for here I sit talking about the soaps I watch. How bad are they? I've said it before, I enjoy them warts and all.Quote:

Todd is a very convincing suducer and I'm enjoying this character who is villianious. And we all know I like a good villian, me!
For a reluctant target Marcus sure got that shirt off fast!
Are the body snatchers ever going to return Fiz by the way???

No, you would not be wasting an hour of your life but the way Gloria and Dennis left was more than disappointing ...Quote:

It was a mistake of Anna to see Phelan on her own. She should have had Izzy there as a witness so he couldn't twist things.
Felt so sorry for Rita, even though she could be a bit of a cow to Dennis at times. Nice to see Norris being sensitive and the actor being given some real acting to do for a change.
Nice to see Roy looking happier, but I'm worried he's going to retreat into his hobby. I was afraid they were going to show his flat completely overrun with train sets :(
I enjoyed last night's episodes :clap:
Fiz is really doping my head she needs to let Roy do things at his own pace she is very controllingQuote:

And there was oul Fiz trying on her obsessive mode but backing off when Roy put his foot down. Hopefully the body snatchers will return her body soon.
