Maybe he just doesn't care enough to give his character and storylines much thought (or to mention any inconsistencies even if he notices them). I'm not criticising him because I think after you've been playing the same character for decades it's probably inevitable your interest will flag at times.Quote:

Im not sure why Michael didnt remember /Quote:

As there have been 3 similar events in a

- perhaps it was a form of convenient
selective amnesia to disguise the dearth
of new storylines by repeating old ones!
Rather than lack of checking??
Unfortunately for Corrie enough viewers
have noticed and commented directly
to the programme to necessiate an
apology. So viewers not as dim as supposed.
Dont think.they are generally - either notice
but are apathetic or switch off.!
From what I remember about Alisons
final scene it was well done- very busy
road/lots of noise and quite dramatic.

he could have been drinking or drugged out that's why he don't rememberQuote:

It all shows that Corrie these days is filmed with very tight busy schedule which can be stressful at times-so I can fully understand that with such a long history that Corrie has, things get forgotten. They offered an apology, enough for me-let's move on..not a big deal.(I didn't even notice..;) )Quote:

on same soap.
Unique/ground -breaking/ never before/
actors wonderful in such a role /usually
means its been done to death before.
This time tho the story& acting will be
worse!!!

Yes Lizann -Alison did take Bethany whenQuote:

As u say people dont forget
the death of a child- even though they
continue with their lives in an outwardly
normal way.
Another point re Bethany.
Her father Neil died in.accident when she
was about 3. This caused his mother
(Bethanys other grandma) to have
a breakdown. She took Bethany to the
top of the local church tower and
threatened to jump with her- so they
would be re- united with Neil.
Was talked down by Emily !!
A lot to have happened by the age of 3!!

tim worried about his boyfriend kevin :p
It's not good enough though. They should take care with details. If the schedule is too busy for them, then make less episodes. More quality over quantity!Quote:

Alya starts to annoy me now with her attacks on carla, and sarah is such a boring character, she's not interesting at all. Plus the whole custody battle has lasted too long for soap land. Brian and Ken living together is a great idea! ��

jenny called rita so the writers could involve the old boring bat in the storyline
how bad was the acting from them all in that storyline, little jack outshone them all

Yes it was really bad acting all around. Still Kevin has loss of memory re his deceased child. Jenny well over the top! Agree bad for the child actor. Alya needs to understand that Carla did not get Kal to come into a burning building! Hate that horrible backpacker friend of Dev. I hear she turns out to be a lesbian. Serves him right/ But she is such a user.
They have to keep the quota up.Quote:

I wish I hadn't read about them forgetting that Kevin's previously lost a child or I doubt I would have remembered. As it was it was incredibly jarring during Kevin's conversation with Jenny on the balcony, particularity when he said that he couldn't imagine losing a child.
Tim was very funny trying to hide his distress at Kevin's ordeal, and Sally was amusing with her jealousy over Tim's concern for Kevin. :D
Why on earth does David allow Callum into the house when picking up and dropping off Max? That's not normal in that kind of situation - but then we'd miss the many contrived scenes of Callum gleefully winding up David and Kylie in front of Max. :wall:
It's tenuous but I think they can just about get away with Jenny calling Rita because she was a mother figure to her once and they've recently reconnected (albeit with lots of anger on Rita's side).Quote:

Rita visited Kevin to inquire whether there had been any news about Jenny and Jack ... perfectly reasonable to me with regard to her relationship with Jenny ...so quite believable that she was present at the time of the phone call :)
It was a very big coincidence she happened to be at Kevin's just at the moment Jenny called though. :DQuote:

True but it helped her having a part in the storyline http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ink-367638.gifQuote:

Graig and his graffiti/art was a bit strange. How come he was not going missing when he was drawing on Sally's wall?
maybe he did, but it was a small picture that time so maybe he did it in a night?Quote:

No mention of Maddie's visit to Jenny the night of the fire, will that ever be known now
I really miss Deirdres face and comments from each and every episode...:( At least we have Mary, she's funny.And Tim. Other than that-no fun on the street anymore.
