I must say-for the first time ever..Ken looked very fragile and small..:(
Whenever he's gone too, I don't think there's much point for Corrie to go on as Barlows=Coronation Street for me. <3

Bev looked so immaculate not a hair out of place and make up. If i had found my friend dead a few hours before i would have been a wreck. When my elderley next door neighbour died i was just about to leave my house for work all done up but realised something was wrong. A few hours laterwith police ambulances everyone turning up my house i was in a right state. Never got to work that day as everyone on the street wanted to be nearby and camped out in my house as she was much loved.
same here!!! and my dogs all gave me cuddles?? they know don't theyQuote:

The scene of Ken and her glasses and with Steve was heartbreaking
The mention of Deirdre's habit of calling her daughter "Tracyluv" was very poignant and quite funny at the same time.
I assume that Audrey was inserted into the Barlow scenes because she's going to be Ken's rock throughout his grief for Deirdre. I don't mind the idea of them getting together at some point but hope it doesn't happen any time soon.
It must have been a dreadful shock for you finding your neighbour dead. I'm not surprised you didn't manage to get to work that day. :(Quote:

Where did Emily go, I was expecting to see her with Tracy at the Barlow house, did Rita and Norris send her home alone upset
emily may have wanted to be alone or had to babysit, she is tracy's godmother she should have checked on her, why did steve phone michelle
I'm still finding it strange that the Barlows have yet to seek official confirmation of Deirdre's death. Just because they believe Bev doesn't mean they can even begin to process Deirdre's sudden death without proof. Nobody's spoken to the police or seen her body, or even mentioned doing so. I find it very odd. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...sed-140297.gif
It's been nice to hear Emily and Roy's early memories of Deirdre.
I don't approve of Leanne pushing Simon for a reaction to his nan's death. She needs to let him process it in his own time - or she'll provoke his anger. Maybe she's cottoned on to that by now... :wall:
Rita took Emily home when she was so upset at the end of Wednesday's episode. She probably needed time to herself. :(Quote:

Without her Roy could have got to see Ken and he could have shared those memories with him instead with Carla and Cathy. .I felt sorry for Tracy but the moment was ruined by Liz. I was expecting her to squeeze her tight. Instead she went on saying how strong tracy must be now for ken and amy? ! I don't think that's the first thing to say right after someone losing their mom ! Yes - the door opening scene was really stupid !! I wish they did something more beautiful like deirdre appearing to tracy or something.. And all this nonsense about food in the pub?? Well we are still alive and must eat too!! No wonder corrie doesn't win any prizes these days.. pure rubbish!
And yes - totally wrong from leanne to expect simon to show emotion! Plus does anyone near him understand what he's been through?? Doesn't look like it
now deirdre had a tin with valuables to her and her funeral plan in a letter which tracy knew how?
I'm shocked I tell you, absolutely shocked!
How is it possible for Roy of all people to make such a serious mistake?
The Emperor Penguin eggs brought back from Scott's expedition are not in The British Museum. They are in the Natural History Museum.
I was shocked that Tracy opened the letter .. It said To Whom It May Concern but I think it should have been Ken not her to read the letter first :angry:Quote:

And yes-finding that tin so easily, and surprise surprise with a letter inside, was a joke! And then Tracy reading it, instead of Ken.. If they gave it bit more time, Ken could have gone through her things quietly and found it..and maybe Deirdre could have appeared to him while he was reading the letter by himself..that would have been very touching..Corrie really is going downhill..

Why is Leanne annoying Dan all the time? I know they have a past, but when she said that she has changed, why couldn't Dan have done the same? They both may be totally different people now.
If anything happens to Leanne, I have no sympathy as she's brought it on herself.

It's not just that he used Leanne as a prostitute it is also that he was violent and I think she is very concerned for Liz.
When did Carla´s gambling addiction start?
Moving scenes at the Barlow house last night.
Tracey said she knew Deirdre had a tin where she used to keep personal bits and bobs and thought it was worth looking. It was a bit contrived but not totally unrealistic that Deirdre would leave a letter containing her last wishes there.Quote:

I was surprised Carla held the poker game in the cafe knowing how much it'd hurt Roy. I suppose it was done to show how strong her addiction's becoming, but it would have been so easy for her to have found another location (the empty factory?) that it seemed out of character in my opinion. :searchme:
Scandalous! You should write a strongly worded letter of complaint to ITV and OFCOM! :DQuote:

Tracy found the tin too quickly, I guess she'd rummaged through that previously. As you say she seemed very aware of its contents.Quote:

I agree. I can't see anything wrong with the tin episode at all. I think it not unreasonable at all that Tracy would have known about the tin nor that Deirdre would have written that note and left it in there. It was also not out of character that Tracy would be the one to open it up and read the note rather than Ken.
tracy never showed much caring or interest in her parents or their possessions to me so that why i find it strange, in her way she does love them but her tough bitchiness makes it out of character for her to know about and find the tinQuote:

The reason I felt the letter in the tin incident was slightly contrived was more because of the speed at which it all happened, rather than Tracey knowing about the existence of the tin or Deirdre leaving a letter containing her last wishes in it. Tracy did initially say the tin might be in the loft but then found it within a couple of minutes while the vicar was there.
True, but Tracy didn't actually know where it was so if she did happen to look on top of the wardrobe and that's where it was she'd find it. I still can't see anything wrong with the episode at all.
Well, Tracy knew there was a tin and Tracy being Tracy she surely wouldn't have been able to resist having a nose inside. As far as running up and down a flight of stairs going straight to the bedroom , getting the tin off the top of the wardrobe,so quickly, is stretching it a bit. Particularly when she thought it was in the loft.Quote:

I do love it, very much. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ing-176278.gifQuote:
