Dev offered her the job and flat after she told him that her brother has moved in with their mum and he hates the redecorations she has made to her mum´s place so only very recent new job for her ... I can´t think of a reason why they are keeping her character ... can´t take to her and storylines with her are rubbish too http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...out-830662.gifQuote:

The miscarriage story just seemed like an

So.I agree so far very poor - but might have
been better!
I agree the miscarriage could have been written better and not rushedQuote:

quite soon after their deaths.Also during the
marriages there were separations and threats
of divorce.
So to me he is just resuming his previous
pattern of behaviour! Dierdre herself had
affairs but not on.the same scale as Ken!
I think if you are unfaithful to someone
with a number of people while they are alive-
Its not likely to change when they die!
Deirdre was a loyal mother to Tracy
and stood by her . If Tracy lets any thing
that Ken does spoil her memory then she
is really stupid.!!
A general point -I do think the time it
takes someone to recover from a bereavement
depends on circs and personality.
Well I don't bother analysing soap characters and their minds, I'm just saying that it's too much too soon, wrong type of woman and not even realistic considering Ken's age. They could write so many other things to him as well. And ken's and roy's friendship is great.
Agreed, though, of course, Deidre stayed away in the last months of her life because of Tracy. Perhaps Tracy should remember that and the fact that it was because of her that Ken was denied Deidre's company in those last few months and be happy for Ken that he is able to move on.Quote:

I would like to see more friendship scenes for Ken with Roy, Steve and Audrey
I just think it is too soon for Ken to have a new romance and given than Anne died in real life I think makes it worse perhaps imo
Even for all their affairs, Ken and Deirdre were one of Corrie's golden couples and will always be
Just a few comments Tammy.Quote:

and I cant see that changing.Its kept the actor
in a job for 55?years!
The time it takes to recover from a bereavement
and start a new relationship has attracted many
comments and each poster knows why they feel
as they do. Im firmly in the middle !! as rushed
ones arent always doomed and time for recovery
onessometimes fail.I do think your point about
Annes death is very valid. It upset a lot of posters
- inc me.
I agree about the friendships. Despite Roy
( allegedly having a personality problem??)
- he does interact well with a variety of other
characters! Probably the actors talent? I do
hope Aud recovers from her infatuation with Ken.!
Finally Ken & Deirdre might have been a golden
couple for some years but there were other
problems apart from affairs. I think when
the SWs remarried them after they had been
divorced for some years- it was partly cos they
couldnt think of any other long term plan for
them. Also in last few years.Deirdre had
seen Ken for what he was -but decided to
stick it out as some women do. She did seem to
be amused by his pomposity.(imo)
Where would we be if we all agreed??- no forum.!!
peter visit did not do simon any good, the little hulk still has his anger issues with leanne
I don't think Anne Kirkbride would want viewers to sentimentalise Ken and Deirdre's relationship because of her own death. She dearly loved the characters for all their flaws, and I don't think she'd have wanted Ken to change after Deirdre had gone. They were very close in real life so I think William Roache would probably refuse to act out anything he felt would disrespect her memory.Quote:

Agreed. Roy moving on within two years is more unrealistic to me than Ken doing so in six months.Quote:

For example, the way the joint account with my wife works means we each have our own password and security measures. You can change your own but not your partner's. So, in this case, Tracy would not have been able to change Tony's password etc.
However, theirs was probably a joint business account, which normally would mean that both signatures are needed before any changes can take place but also before any money can be taken out. However, they may have set it up so only one signature was needed for a withdrawal. This would seem to be more likely. So it could be that both signatures would be needed for security changes but only one for a withdrawal.
I must have missed this somewhere, but how did Leanne arrange for Simon to miss so much school?
was it 8 weeks he was away with peter?Quote:

Theyve not known each other for long- but most
people would be wary of both of them!
And not go into business with either.
No similarity to.Nana Liz then?Quote:

I'm convinced Liz is playing Tony because otherwise she'd be begging him to give back Steve's share of the Rovers. By denying that she wants him to, she's making him think it's his idea.Quote:

I'm absolutely certain you're right, Dazzle. It's all an act by Liz to get all the pub back and lose him his other business (with Tracy) as well. She's making a good job of it too.Quote:
