Was Gail away with Max and Lily at Audrey's place?
Will Tony have filled in the manhole by the time David goes back to move the body or even better the body is gone is missing :p
What's left of it!Quote:

I thought David Neilson stole the show as Roy and I absolutely couldn't tell he was acting live. It was an excellent decision to give him such a prominent role in the episode. In my opinion, he was closely followed in the acting stakes by Melanie Hill, Alison King, Jack P Shepherd and Paula Lane. Everyone else was very good too.
As far as mistakes go, I noticed a couple of hesitations and silences that went on for just a beat too long, but nothing worth stressing over.
I'd have liked a final twist in the Callum story but, as others have said, it may yet be to come. The fight between Callum and Sarah, and Kylie's (offscreen) subsequent bashing of him, were very well done and extremely effective, but nowhere near as dark or explosive as we were led to believe. As Lizann has suggested (and I've also seen mentioned elsewhere), I think Callum's body being in the boot of the car when Tony and Todd blew it up would have been a perfect ending for the character.
Still, inevitably very few people will be a hundred percent satisfied with anything, and I think Corrie reached an extremely high standard tonight. Congratulations again to all! :clap:
He did appear briefly. I think he was with Andy, Steph and Robert in the scene where they were carrying food to the Rovers.Quote:

Only noticed Nick on second viewing. I hope the continuity is there in the next episodes (David said that Nick was asking too many questions.)
I don't think Callum's getting out of there even if he is alive. I think you'd need the handle to lift it. I did think I could hear some quiet knocking on it at the end of the episode - although my mum thought it was just to do with the sound because it was live. Either way, I think he's dead, it's just a case of whether he suffocates down there.
David Neilson was great. I felt a bit sorry for Agent Daniel.
Agree with the sentiments re: Anna and Tim. I saw a trailer after the episode which made me even more nervous :sick: I hope Kate Oates knocks this on the head, quickly.
Having watched last bit again .. I think there was a knocking noise coming from that manhole :eek: :ninja:
Loved the airplane noise - it proved it was live! Don't normally watch corrie but watched a few minutes of this whilst getting ready to go out... Stepped outside and heard a noisy plane go over - probably the same one that'd just been on the telly.
perhaps there really has been a neverQuote:

I've just watched the end of the live episode again and I don't think Callum was knocking. I think any bangs were just made by David after he closed the door. What a shame, because it would have been an excellent twist - whether Callum ends up dead or alive.Quote:

I gather that Tim and Sally make up and get married, there will always be a bond between Tim and Anna because of Faye and Miley, I am sure in years to come Miley will make a return from Canada, but hopefully they will never betray Sally :nono:

There was quite a few characters in scenes that were pointless, like the writers wanted as many characters as possible in the live show and then characters that were needed for current storylines were missing like Steve, Audrey and Gail
Aww...that was nice of Julie Hesmondhalgh to give Roy and Cathy her blessing. :)Quote:

So imature of sophie to go on and on about that one kiss. Stupid girl!

I think it would make it more sinister if Callum hadn't been dead but suffocated down there as he didn't have the strength to force his way out following his injury.
Another thing I want to know is how Tony and Todd were equipped to blow up Callum's car. They definitely took it on an impulse.
Going from my extensive criminal knowledge gained from watching TV (:D), I think stuffing a rag in the opening of the petrol tank and lighting it would be enough to cause an explosion and gut the car. It might not be as extreme in real life as how Callum's car went up though!Quote:

Going from the Live Uncovered programme, no, they would notice. They could always pretend that it's deeper than it is I suppose. Wouldn't the body start to smell before they came to fill it in though?
There were loads of interviews and statements made about Ross Barton being dead yet he made a remarkable recovery, not even complaining about a headache afterwards :pQuote:

Were there any interviews with the actor himself? Here's an interview with Sean Ward about Callum's death and he sounds very genuine. He even says he didn't dare go to any auditions after he'd finished filming the pre-recorded episodes in case word of Callum's death got out, but that now he's free to audition again.Quote:

One of the announcements I saw at the time:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/e...ichael-6263841
The soap star announced the news on Twitter after devastated fans launched a petition just four days ago to bring his character
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has landed himself a new job.
Taking to his Twitter account, the 29-year-old actor - who became famous playing the late Ross Barton - broke the news to his loyal army of followers on Friday.
He wrote: "Off to London now. Got a new job, can't say what it is but when we start rehearsals I'll let you know."
While some fans were quick to wish him good luck, others were disappointed as the admission seemed to indicate that he would almost certainly never be reprising his on-screen alter-ego Ross.
Thanks for the link Perdita. The only thing I'd say is that Michael Parr had suspiciously little to say for himself whilst Sean Ward is very talkative about Callum's death etc. I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait and see. :)
I think it's clear that Callum's gone, it's just a question of when. As Dazzle said, Sean Ward seemed very genuine. Michael Parr never elaborated on anything as it was obviously a bluff. Looking back, the goodbye video that Michael Parr made did hint that it wasn't final - it wasn't an official video as was the case with the others. He also told people to keep watching which was odd. Why would a departing actor really care whether viewers continued watching? Most viewers these days have their favourites and will re-evaluate their following of the show if they leave. Obviously in Michael's case, he wanted to try to ensure that his fans would be there to see the twist.
It was posted a few weeks ago that Sean Ward had filmed his final scenes, I think. I don't see any reason to distrust that.
tim happy to be back mates with his kev again

I was surprised that Gail was so agreeable/pleasant to the police. Has she forgotten that they locked her up for a murder she didn't commit?
Gail been made dimmer over recent years-Quote:

It looks like Callum's definitely dead then - unless someone helped him out and put another dead body in his place. :D
I was hoping Tony and Jason would concrete over the manhole before David got a chance to move the body. It should make for some great drama with him and Kylie having to live with the knowledge that Callum's rotting away under their house.
Maybe she was so pleased because he'd brought the good news that Callum was in trouble. He was very chipper about it himself! I thoroughly enjoyed the amusing but tense scene where he inspected the "annexe" and mentioned rats down the manhole. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ppy-514478.gifQuote:

The body of Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan will be staying put at the Platt house in a Brookside-style storyline twist.
Callum's corpse was hidden in a manhole at the Platts' garage earlier this week, after he was killed by Kylie in the show's dramatic live episode.
Kylie, her husband David and sister-in-law Sarah were all involved in the grisly cover-up, intending to move the body as soon as possible.
David knew that dumping Callum's remains in the canal was their best move, but Friday's tense episodes saw his plans thwarted as Jason Grimshaw and Gary Windass poured concrete over the manhole while doing building work.
Jason and Gary have been working on a granny flat for Gail, so it looks like she could soon be sleeping over Callum's body while completely oblivious. :eek:
The plot is reminiscent of the classic Brookside storyline from 1993, which saw evil Trevor Jordache buried under the patio by his wife Mandy and daughter Beth.mBrookside fans waited two years to see Trevor dug up again, but whether Callum stays hidden for that long is anyone's guess.
Spoiler:
:ninja:The Trevor Jordache story was very good
and very creepy-but it seemed to go on
for ever. Whenever anyone was in kitchen
in dark evenings - the camera would pan
past them to give a lingering shot of the
back garden and patio - where he was buried:ninja:
But back to Corrie-Im 99.9% convinced
Callum is dead and buried in manhole!
I expect Dazzle was most likely tongue
in cheek when she suggested someone
might have let him out and subbed another
body!!But I bet she given SWs food for thought
for future- especially after the concreting.
And the penchant for retcons!
You're right, I wasn't being serious! However, as you say, with the soap penchant for retcons nothing can be ruled out. :)Quote:
