Actress is taking 8 weeks off to be in the theatre.
I always thought it was strange how happily the Nazirs welcomed the news of Alya and Gary's engagement, given how angry they were when they first found out they were seeing each other. Ex-con Gary's hardly the kind of husband they'd aspire to for their granddaughter.Quote:

The trouble is we're being given mixed messages because of the confused writing.
It's a miracle how a totally inexperienced Sophie's suddenly developed a keen business acumen, while Kevin (who's run his own business for many years) is suddenly floundering and in need of rescuing by her. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...sed-140297.gifQuote:

I was pleasantly surprised that Zeedan showed understanding towards Alya much quicker than I anticipated. Now he and Yasmeen need to work on Sharif. Most importantly, Alya needs to forgive herself and understand that what she did wasn't the end of the world.
Going by what Cathy said, I think we'll find there's more to Nessa than meets the eye. She sounds like a bit of a handful... :pQuote:

Really disappointed at how they took a bright, beautiful and confident female character and once again packed her off down the Soap Cul-de-sac of sexual activity-related relationship hell. Alya should have been the "New Carla" i.e. the new entrepreneur on the block (and without the Peter Barlow millstone) but is fast becoming the "New Maria".
I think it's been made clear that Ken is missing Deirdre and feeling very lonely without her.Quote:

However, the continued depiction of every female in soap's life revolving around getting and keeping a man is a subject I've been vocal about many times. Alya should never have been paired with Gary in the first place. She's way out of his league in every single way and he has nothing to offer a beautiful, intelligent and ambitious young woman like her. It'd be understandable if he were charming and charismatic, but I'm afraid he's anything but. Why would Alya be so desperate to hook herself up to him for life? :searchme:
(Notice the writers didn't feel the need to pair Zeedan up with the first available female he bumped into. :wall:)
I'd have also have liked Alya going off the rails after the sudden death of her father to have been explored in a lot more depth. It was basically just another way to have a soap character cheat on their partner - although at least this time there was the saving grace of other repercussions to explore as well.
Alya and Aidan could be a good couple given time and build up more
I would have liked to see her become more bitchy in business plus she wanted revenge on Carla but now nothing against Tracy
Doh did you not realise that, the best bit is, when DAvid starts "playing" with the hair of clients, then does off to see to his family!!Quote:

I think that's a very good idea. Alya and Aidan are a much better match and her and Gary. Eva and Gary could work well too.Quote:

Not so.sure about Gary & Eva? Think she

If not, it ought to be after yesterday's Corrie! :DQuote:

I think he is deadly serious about the paranormal and isn't sure whether Mary feels the same or is being a bit flippant?Quote:

Surely Audrey noticed the bottle of wine and two glasses on the table when she went to see Ken.
Could have been him and Tracy having a glass of wine .. or sometimes you don´t notice stuff on a table if you are busy talking and she would have been nervous trying to tell him about her feelings
and only one glass has been poured?Quote:

There is a shortage of available men on the street at the moment.
I can only think of Ken, Norris, Dev and Kevin.
Have I missed anyone?

Only Ken can judge if it's the right time for him to move on. Tracy certainly has no right to judge - as Robert pointed out, she's a total hypocrite!Quote:

That's gone quick. :( I see nothing wrong with Ken finding someone else after that length of time, and it's in character for him not to be without a lady friend for long. He certainly seems sure that he's ready, and - let's face it - time isn't on his side.
However, I think he'll find Nessa is the wrong person to move on with...
Zeedan, Gary, Johnny Connor, Aidan Connor :DQuote:
