I think the Tim and Kevin pairing is very clever
Its the first time I thought sinead was a good actress
she is off the gear now and she didn't even put up a fight for her family, selfish cow no need for her to return, david and kids better without herQuote:

Carla's going to L.A., Gail's going to see Sarah Louise.
I don't think they're friends.Quote:

I thought it was totally unnecessary for Sinead to tell everyone that Roy's attack was vicious (or words to that effect). She knows him well by now and surely realises that there were extenuating circumstances. OK, she she was right to have told the police the truth, but she seemed to go out of her way to portray the usually decent Roy in as bad a light as possible! :angry:
David's self pity is getting on my nerves and, more annoyingly, he wasn't at all bothered when Eva told him that Callum's dangerous.
Sally's stinky house... :rotfl:
Yes, she is
Corrie is doing it again..turning the whole street against one person-and that person being Roy!!! Is this a joke?? Gary is the most annoying character-always been, and everyone should know by now all the things he's done to his family!! Anna is always behaving like she some sort of victim and always wrapping Gary in cotton wool. He's never learned to take any sort of responsibility. And Sinead then-another annoying baby face. Roy would have never done that-only that he had had enough of those youths and thought it was one of them in the cafe! This highlights what happens in reality when vulnerable people are pushed too far protecting their own homes! Anyone can easily end up in prison. I just hope they don't drag this on for too long.. I surely hope that Gary will take all the responsibility, Anna would just shut up and move on, and those youths would be arrested (or Roy could end up becoming friends with them..something else than this anyway..) and Roy would get peace to get on with his life. Please write some nice storylines for Roy. My fear is that this will drag on..Roy will find it hard to forget what he's done etc...yawn.... Windasses living in that small flat is ridiculous! Sally and Tim and Kevin are the best at the moment..Corrie has gone downhill a bit..
Sinead is the only person who has criticised Roy and that's because she saw what happened. Anna and Owen accepted that Gary had been trying to steal money. Ches immediately came to Roy's defence. So where is this "whole street" that is against Roy?Quote:

Doesn't look good though as he didn't want to see anyone in hospital.(nothing to do with injuries or shock in his case! ) I just fear this whole storyline with Roy&'youths' never ends....Quote:

Sinead can only go what she saw. It was horrific from where she was standing. She stopped Roy beating him further i think by calming him down as he was obviously really scared and not on his normal state. I hope them young louts dont ever come back to coronation street and that Roy has some peace and happiness in his life. if Roy had been thinking straight he would have called the police from upstairs. But when your in that sort of situation you dont think . Gary was in the wrong. I think Anna should not be hard on Roy. How can you rob your friends.
You could see that Chesney wasn't happy with Sinead but she could only say what she saw.
Do feel sorry for poor Roy though! Hope this story with the youths disappears soon I don't like it. Wait till Carla finds out about Gary she will hit the roof!!

anna against roy even though gary was robbing him

leanne and fake gavin have good chemistry

Everyone's on Roy side but Anna (and Sinead of course). If Gary can forgive him, why can't she?
I'm getting fed up of Owen's nastiness to Gary. Can't he see that his attitude helped drive Gary to steal (not that it excuses Gary though)? I wonder that Anna's so forgiving of Owen but not Roy. :searchme:
Steve cooking the books is not good!
I like Leanne in the bistro. It's about time the character was given something decent to do again.
I too feel Owen is going out of his way to have a go at Gary... even in hospital he is giving him a hard time.... Gary feels bad enough about everything and breaking Faye's headphones.Spoiler:
I think you're right. Characters are often changed toQuote:

Although Owen has changed over the course of his time on the Street, the old Owen has always been there simmering under the surface. I think what really did it this time was the way he perceived Gary treating his daughter, Izzy. We know that what happened was really Izzy's misreading of the situation, nevertheless she was hurt and Owen blames Gary.Quote:

Yeah, I absolutely agree about parents taking their children's sides. It's just that Owen's unpleasantness has turned into a campaign of bullying that would be more suited to an enemy like Phelan rather than Anna's son (even if Izzy was recently inadvertently hurt by him). I can't understand why Anna's going along with it either.Quote:

(As for Shirley in EE, it's in character for her to be obnoxious, but I do understand why she's taken Dean's side - even though he makes my skin crawl!)
So Phelan got away with all he did, I was expecting some "comeuppance" storyline in that saga.
I know, that storyline fizzled out rather limply didn't it?Quote:

I just hope she tells Owen to stop taunting Gary as it surely is not helping anyone ..Quote:

I for one find it very hard to like Gary's character as well and would be more than happy to see him gone.
The whole storyline with Roy is strange..If Gary takes the full responsibility, in the real life the police would leave it to that. Or they would find the real culprits who actually caused Roy to be frightened and act the way he did. I just don't understand when he was so frightened, why didn't he call the police from his flat and maybe Ty or any other neighbour?? Doesn't make any sense. Also-why hasn't Roy told to anyone(especially to Anna) that he didn't know it was Gary before he was lying on the ground and turned around? PLUS-I think it was very odd that Gary didn't say a word in the cafe when Roy hit him?? A shout and turn around?? Not believable.
As for Anna-she behaves as always, I knew this would happen!! I really liked Anna with Hayley's illness storyline, but she's going back to her old annoying self again..
And Mary saying in the pub that 'violence is never the answer'?? Yeah right! What was it when she abducted Norris??
I really like Steve depression storyline..made me cry last night to see him in the dark bedroom..I think his mum is starting to realize..I don't understand why they can't see that he's not right??! There's not one(AGAIN!!!) who would offer some sympathy for him and just listen..no, everyone around him are just shouting..I can fully understand where he's coming from, he thinks he's no good to anyone and was just building this bubble(his car)around him where he didn't have to face his depression..and Christmas for Amy was his last go to try to escape his problems. His world is starting to crumble slowly and he has to start to face his problems..but is unable to cope..I think he's a great actor and I really salute Corrie for taking depression as a storyline. I hope that Steve and Michelle will fall in love again.
Whatever part Gary played in the Phelan thing has, until now, long been forgiven and forgotten. It was ultimately Owen's decision to go into business with him, which he's since admitted, and he bears most of the blame (especially since he was fully aware of Phelan's character). Gary was an idiot to hit Phelan but he was manipulated by the latter, as the whole family well knows.Quote:

I still stand by the fact that Anna would not put up with Owen's constant snide remarks and nastiness to Gary, whatever the rights and wrongs of Gary's behaviour.
Very true!! :DQuote:

I don't think Gary's part in Phelan storyline is all forgotten as he played a huge part in it-they were wrong getting in the business with Phelan but they are where they are because of Gary's temper, and he's giving more reasons every day for Owen to be more disappoined on him. If I was in Owen's shoes, I would find it extremely hard to deal with Gary too. It's time for Gary to grow up or leave the street, wouldn't miss him. Hopefully Alya won't get back together with him..!
I'm not sure I agree with you, but I'm willing to be convinced. We'll have to see how the storyline progresses... :DQuote:

Exactly what I thought Dazzle. Despite Maribas
hope I think Steve and Michelle are a no-hope
couple. You can move on from some things
if both people want to and things havent been
too bad. But Michelles mental bullying has been
so persistent & consistent that I hope Steve has
the courage to end it or in real-life his problems
would likely start again.

Does Anna not know Roy's flat was broken into previously, I hope Carla and Leanne tell about the youths hassling him earlier that day
It is a shame Phelan got away with everything
