I think Tim was not supported enough to learn to read and write. It probably suited Geoff that he could not. Made him easier to manipulate
at least gary survived and maria is back with a mask
which she takes off to speak to him ...Quote:

I don't mind campness, you are right he is disliked on many forums. I just feel as an actor quite simply he is very limited and a one trick pony. I actually thought he was better in "Queer as Folk."Quote:

I agree with all that and he is adequate for a soap actor. He is genuine because he more or less plays himself.Quote:

For instance Eastenders, Stuart went from being Micks friend to being a nutjob to being if not nice, at least a bit reformed. Corrie has had their own examples, like Evelyn who went from being downright acrid to more comedic and over the years there have been others.
Sean while he has had some changes still basically seems to be much the same as when he first came in. Any character stories seem to be wiped largely and forgotten, his friendship with Violet, his homelessness etc.
Sally loves her yellow rubber gloves and now Jenny has too
I hope Geoff did not kill Elaine, kidnap lock her up?
How could Faye just stand and watch Geoff so that to Elaine! It was horrible! I think I hate Geoff more than I did Pat Phelan!
Does she not know how to scream ????Quote:

You can be consistent and still have some changes. Sean has always been the same.Quote:

I believe Spain is quite a civilised country and I would imagine all deaths are registered. Maybe the Weatherfield police could ask the Spanish authorities for a copy of Tim's mum's death certificate, even if they have to try two names.
did adam say he had surgery too?Quote:

Underworld have been making masks and scrubs for the NHS, they deserve a mention in the Weatherfield Gazette for that.
That's the point! She wouldn't be able to find it as there isn't one. Of course that is not absolute proof she didn't die, but Geoff said she died of breast cancer in Spain in 1970. Surely if she died of breast cancer she would have been under the care of the hospital, a hospice or a doctor at the very least, one of whom would have signed her death certificate. So, the fact the police wouldn't be able to find one would surely cast huge suspicion on his story.Quote:

Didn't Geoff say he was 'told' she had died of breast cancer, so he can say he is not lying if he was misinformed.
Yes, he said he was told she died of breast cancer in Spain in 1970, which is quite specific really. However, yes, if there is no death certificate he can of course say that he was misinformed but that in itself leaves open the possibility that she is still alive as that's the only reason he has to believe she died.Quote:

Also the way he more or less dismissed the Police detective, Weatherfield police at their usual high standard.
