I found Anna and Owen's plight moving last night, especially when Anna went to the foodbank. It's nice to see their troubles bringing them closer together too. Sensitively written scenes in Corrie for once. :clap:
I hope Andrea's gone for good now.

I think Andrea is a regular cast member now ....
What a shame...I'm guessing that means gullible Lloyd takes her back :thumbsdowQuote:

I just don't want the grief aspect glossed over and forgotten. Roy has mentioned Hayley briefly but otherwise appears unchanged by his loss. That's just so unrealistic for such a close couple, and for someone who doesn't cope well with change like Roy. He'd be profoundly affected by Hayley's loss. I don't want to watch him be depressed and lonely for years but would like a little realism along the way.Quote:

Why does Leanne want maintenance off Nick for Simon, surely Peter has made some provision for that.
she has no job now since nick fired her so she cant provide for simonQuote:

So sick of Nick constantly throwing Leanne's hooker past in her face, get new insults Nick
That was actor who played Max King in Emmerdale playing the mediator
Sick of Nick full stop.Quote:

There's been a lot of comments elsewhere online about how poor Corrie's been this week, but I've quite enjoyed it overall. Any episodes that feature Roy heavily are OK with me. It was a bonus for me too that he discussed his grief for Hayley (something I complained about a lack of earlier in this thread).
I'm liking Yasmeen too - she reminds me of a really strict headmistress. I also like her husband. I did find Yasmeen's delight in a replacement "library" in Roy's Rolls a bit over the top though, I must say! :D
I found the Sophie and Maddie babysitting scenes tedious though. What was with Sophie undermining Maddie like that?
I think many of us suspected that Amy would one day turn into her mother. :thumbsdow
I like amy turning into mini-me Tracy!! It has to hone nd I ink the actress playing amy is so far doing it very well
I cant warm to Kal or any of his family so far
Great to see Ken back.
Ken!!!!!!
He's back!!! Absolutely cracked up laughing when Deirdre was holding the lasagne or cottage pie and saying how ken had announced he was now vegetarian!!
Great to see Ken back-and I can fully understand that he's angry! God it was pain to watch Deidre crying ( no tears!! :D ) for whole half an hour!! What a stupid woman she's become-I don't understand either that why wouldn't she have picked up the phone and ask him to come home..??(of course we know the real reason for that-why Ken got 'delayed'-but still..And then crying when he decided to go to bed after long flight..err jet lag? And yes, Ken had a right to be sulking and angry at her. Woman that age should know better. I've liked Deidre but not sure anymore, I think her reasoning was so silly this evening. Hopefully Ken can get Peter out and Rob in :)
or her trying to get him in the house away from steve and eileen :p good to have ken backQuote:

I must admit that I wasn't particularly looking forward to Ken being back, but he helped make last night's episodes compulsive viewing (something that doesn't happen very often any more). I'm very glad there were no cringeworthy "welcome back by all and sundry" scenes like we were treated to at Kevin's return.
I can't believe how Deirdre thinks Rob is some sort of saint all of a sudden! He only moved into No 1 in the first place because he and Tracy staged a break-in, and he's been goading Peter mercilessly ever since the murder. Deirdre really must be very dim. I hope Ken chucks Rob out of the house.
It is good to have Ken back and have him weary of Rob at least I think he is by the looks he gives him and that he believes Peter
enjoyable double bill. good scenes with ken and carla. alison king could read the bt phone book and i would be riveted. pure class. i know it was a bit carry on, but i did enjoy the scenes with the tinkers and the medical centre.
always was a fan of jim so liked to see him back so i did :p and kirk was funny at the hospital yes very carry but funnyQuote:

how come peter didn't have any bad sweats or withdrawal symptoms only till now
I think being rejected by Simon was the last straw and brought his cravings on with a vengeance, as stress does to an addict. He'd probably been craving alcohol since being arrested, but could no longer cope with the cravings after Simon failed to turn up. Given his current circumstances, he'd have been like that from the beginning of his incarceration IMO.Quote:

I like Peter's cell mate too even though he looks like Phelan :p
Good to have Jim back too
Todd and Tony make a evil cunning pair
.
i hope jim gets out and gives tony a good hiding
kal's mother taking over the café stupid cow she has a cheek
I'm glad Roy didn't let her get away with it!Quote:

Yippee Jenna is finally gone
Eileen was mean. How can anyone respond to someone hurting themselves like that no matter how much you dislike them
Yeah, I thought that was out of character.Quote:

How hard would it have been to plant the seeds for her leaving a few weeks ago? She could have secretly applied for a few overseas volunteering positions and only heard during last night's episode that she'd been accepted. It wouldn't have been difficult to write something along those lines, but we were subject to a complete divorce from reality that happens all too often now in Corrie! :angry:
Also, why is Peter such a trembling mess all of a sudden? I got that his cravings suddenly increased when Simon rejected him, but one drink from Jim and he has the DTs? I'm not familiar with alcoholism but this seems over the top to me. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong about that.
Gail and Michael's nauseating simpering to each other! :sick:
A disappointingly bad episode all round :thumbsdow
Agree with all your points. Having witnessed some alcoholics in my time, yes, they go crazy if they have been on the wagon for a bit and then have a little bit of what they fancy ... that was well researched and true to life .. sadly
Peter needs to wash too especially his greasy hair :p
