Maybe Robert was watching Coronation Street on the night of the fire.
Anyone finding the Tim and Kevin bromance starting to verge on the cringeworthy now? It's usually very funny but sometimes, writers, less is more... http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...sed-140297.gif
I'm liking Robert more and more. I can't believe he got Tracy to confess to being responsible for the fire (although she lied about not intending to harm Carla)! :eek:
However, Tracy's newly-developed "conscience" has made her incredibly stupid. Anyone in the Rovers' back yard or in the gardens of the neighbouring houses could have overheard her loudly conceding her guilt. No doubt if Norris was home he was listening intently to every juicy word... http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...vil-695223.gif
yes so agree on kev and tim bromance and then rita asking about it so cringey and tim comes across now as a stalker in love with kev and his bling for kev so not tim to spend that much on anyone
Sally pushing her basket of alcohol from Frescos was funny
Poor little Hope
Corrie is so much funnier than Emmerdale. With all the misery in Emmerdale recently(and it's been like that for too long now..) I can really see how good and enjoyable Corrie is.
I still think Emmerdale is the better soapQuote:

Agree about the comedy on Corrie.Quote:

Now he seems to be going backwards to strange?
I hope it doesnt mean hes going to get involved
with Anna-as rumoured-couldnt get more strange
than that.!
dupl
Tim with Anna would ruin him I think
Anna would ruin anyone!Quote:

Agreed, but even though we all know that cancer can strike anyone at any time, I still think it's a cop out that the heavy smokers and drinkers plough on untouched while the clean living Hayley and Hope are the ones that get struck down. A bit of real-life balance wouldn't go amiss!
Yes, Corrie is not providing much incentive to give up heavy drinking and smoking!
It's a testament to David Neilson that Roy's scene with Cathy was the first time I've been moved by the Hope story. The problem is I don't like Fiz since she was so horrible to Roy after Hayley's death and neither do I rate Jennie McAlpine's acting. Tyrone hasn't impressed me so far either, although Alan Halsall was good in the domestic abuse storyline so there's a possibility he will improve.Quote:

I wish Tyrone hadn't stormed off like that when talking to Hope. It was awful!
When I first heard about the story-I was concernedQuote:

But it is an important issue as rates of childhood
cancer are increasing tho rates in UK are
lower than a lot of countries and survival
rates are improving.
Also concerned about Fiz being involved!
Lack of talent and spoils the stories she
is part of. If you want an story to
make important points and raise awareness
dont want viewers thinking how bad the
acting is - rather than the details of the story.
Fiz was awful to Roy when Hayley was dying
but also in th early days to both Roy &.Hayley
wih false accusations.
David Neilson is one of my favourites. A master
class in how to touch peoples emotions
without shouting and showing-off !!
I dont understand the bromance either!
Not heard much about his relationships
between Fayes mother and arriving in Corrie?
I did wonder if he would have had a gay
interlude but so believable with Sally but
one doesnt exclude the other!! But it is
getting a bit silly with no explanation!!
(is it another version of Norris's hero-
worship of Derek- Mavis used to get cross
about that!)
Dupl
I didn't watch Corrie last night-too busy shifting straw bales to shed! :D Child's cancer storyline is good, but I'm not sure if Fiz and Ty are good enough actors(like also mentioned by others here..). I used to like Fiz years ago but I don't think her and Ty as a couple are interesting enough as they both are quite boring.
It was good too see the Nazir's grief for Kal being acknowledged in Friday's episodes. I'm glad Leanne's finally told someone about the abuse.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happening in my case! Friday's episodes were no improvement either. I thought the scene where they told Hope about the cancer was terrible (both acting and writing), and I'd normally be in bits at a scene like that.Quote:

It would have remained confidential.
Having a HR background I was appalled at the way this was portrayed .. Fiz was not ill but her daughter and I know she said Carla knew but I had not heard her say that she had indeed confided in Carla and from Carla´s behaviour it seems doubtful and also waste of time
Ridiculously contrived and totally plot driven storylines.
Has Elle Mulvaney (Amy) dyed her hair or is it just me?
why do carla and nick drive to work when they live round the corner
Does seem to look a bit darker than normalQuote:

I thought it was supposed to show Carla having a basic car as her upmarket one has been reposessed. Doesn't really work when it's a 15 plate!
It is a hire carQuote:

I'm glad the fact that the Platt house is way too small for them all is finally being addressed. Now they just need to do something about Eileen's houseful of waifs and strays (perhaps a loft conversion?).
