Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Couldn't believe it when Katy had a go at Chesney for going out to work all the time, what did she expect to happen?! Don't really have much sympathy for her in this storyline, she wanted to have a baby and considering she had Ches, Fiz, Izzy, Anna and Owen she's in a much better position than some.

I was sympathetic - she's so young, and didn't have a clue what she was letting herself in for. I just hope this storyline is a lesson for the young people watching.

I had no sympathy with either....

Kty was told by Owen when she got pregnant how much hard work it was, and ignored him and Ches, when given the chance to finish work at a lunchtime, and go and spend time with his son - chose to help paint white lines in the market!! He has changed half a dozen nappies and fallen asleep on the sofa holding a sleeping baby and its job done..

thats the writers at fault

It wasn't that great. It was just very different towhat we normally hear from her

It wasn't just Katy's idea. It was also her stupid improbable boyfriend's idea to prove they were all grown up

Well, put it this way: Jessie Wallace as Pat Phoenix didn't grate on me and sound false, whereas Michelle Collins as Stella sounds completely false to me, even after all these months. I used Jessie Wallace as an example to show that it isn't just an actor speaking differently than normal which grates on me.

I didnt mind Stella at first but she is in every scene now and it is way too much

Perhaps it's just me but I have never noticed a problem with her accent. I am more interested in what she has to say rather than the way she says it.

Her accent is rubbish. I dont know why they didnt play her as someone from London. Thats not the major problem with St. Ella Its the highly improbable storylines she has. As if the likes of Les Battersby would sleep with an oul slapper like her. Then she suddenly appears on the street, gets involved in every storyline and becomes everyones bessy mate and he font of all knowledge. I finde her and her family totally out of place on Corrie and wish that she was not so ''friendly'' with Phil Collinson

I agree with everything you said except for that - personally, I find it hard to believe that Stella would have slept with Les :sick:

Les tried to sleep with any woman with half a pulse, why not Stella?
