Has Daniel said what happened to his mother, Denise. How long was he left on his own?
This might have some bearing on why he says he wants his own family.
Very, but he is so right in what he said.Quote:

daniel himself didn't look happy in the flat look around, he knows he is moving fast with sinead, is she his first girlfriend?
Very! Why does he keep blaming Deirdre too? I think he had 2 wives before Deirdre, and wasn't exactly young when he married her.Quote:

I did enjoy Todd having at dig a Phelan, especially the ghost references, they were pretty funny.
Todd: The Weatherfield Haunting. Amityville with hotpot.
I think it's time they reined in the violence on Coronation St. The vicious and unprovoked attack by schoolboy Seb on the schoolboy father of his school age girlfriend's child (!) was quite sickening. No dispute, grievance or argument is ever settled without violence, these days, which shows a real lack of imagination amongst the scriptwriters. Let's have more of the lighter stuff as referred to by RogerOver above, to balance out the darker storylines, and just drop the cartoon fisticuffs.
He did say though that he loved her deeply, but I guess he never went for the theatre shows and other cultural things he would have liked to go to because he knew Deirdre would not appreciate it the same he would have. I suppose despite his feelings for her, he also felt frustrated at not being able to do the things he would have enjoyed doing. He sees Daniel as a younger version of him and pointed out some valid points, however, he should have spoken to Daniel or both Daniel and Sinead rather than intimidating and bullying Sinead on her own.Quote:

They were very fond of each other. She was (is) a very nice girl but his problem was the same as Ken's really. He has quite academic interests, especially history and astronomy and cosmology, but she had no interest in these things at all and is much more interested in going out and having a good time. Nothing wrong in that in itself of course, but Tom realised that a life time together just would not work and that he would eventually get bored not being able to talk about the things that interested him.
In the end they decided to call it a day. He was very cut up about it as he was, as I say, extremely fond of her, but the thought of a lifetime living with her was just something he realised wasn't going to work, so better to get out now than later.
It's this sort of thing that Ken has lived with all his life and what he wants to save Daniel from. I agree that he maybe didn't go about it the right way and was quite condescending and patronising to Sinead but basically, I think he was right.
Deirdre held Ken back.
Not really. Love can happen quickly.Quote:

He could have gone on his own to theatre shows and the like. He managed to have affairs quite well didn't he?!Quote:

Ken is an intellect snob, always has been but then wasnt his last job pushing trollies at the local supermarket?
So how is Danielle going to pay his Oxford fees and support his kid? Cant be that bright a guy if he has never heard of contraception. So will Ken sell his house worth about two pence to help? Or is the baby to be terminated because the mother is too lower on the IQ scale.
Love it that Peter has strayed already, in your face Toyah, you know his back story of two wives but went with the walking lebedo anyway.
No Coronation Street until Friday. :( Pesky Football.
Yep :( The BBC used to show EastEnders on BBC2 when they showed sports ..why can´t ITV move Corrie to ÏTV 2 or so? :hmm:Quote:

is one of the barlows going to kill ken he is roiling them all up
I am surprised he has not had another stroke!
That is what I thought all this was leading up to.Quote:

It was a perfectly blended set of episodes on Friday. I do like what they have done with Tracey and I like how she is really missing Deirdre, who really was the only one that had unconditional love for her. A Mothers Love.
What did strike me that in Coronation St where have all the nice (decent) characters gone? There's not a community feel to the show anymore and not a very nice place to live now. Out of all the soaps I always would have wanted to live in Coronation St.
toyah moaning about peter to her husband :thumbsdow
who attacked ken, was it eccles
Running back to her ex and messing him around again.
Was that Adam on the bus or Rob Donovan? I am not sure. Online speculation is that it was Andy who is responsible for the noise from the flat ............ great episodes today :cheer::clap:Quote:

Terrible if it is but she would be forgiven. Hopefully Ken doesn't die like that. Such a long career William Roche has had, I would be disappointed if that's that.
I think it was Adam that Amy called and left money for. Maybe Ken just slipped at the stairs when he heard noise from the back door (probably Adam)
I should care Ken was pushed down the stairs, but I don't. I salute who ever did it! They wouldn't have the nerve to kill the character off. :D
A cracking set of eps tonight. Loved Todd's reaction to Pat the Rat when he was about to throttle him. Todd looked as though he was going to kack his pants. Brilliant performance from Bruno.
I love what they have done with Tracey. Enjoyable double bill. And they flew by, another barometer on how good the show was. 9/10. Soap of the night. Kate Oates has finally got her act together.
Sorry but i'm disappointed with Billy! He said that Todd deserved being attacked! He knows Todd was scarred years ago!!
The police tell Ken he was pushed so evidence must suggest thisQuote:

So I just don't get it how the police would be able to tell that he was hit or pushed, instead of just slipping and falling.
"Who pushed Ken?" (Do we really care.) We should give a Blue Peter Badge to who ever did it.
It doesn't have quite the same punch as "Who shot JR?" does it. :)
Spoiler:
Let's face it any of the Barlow clan capable, already have a convicted murderer , good choice by the way ff, (female Bobby Beale). Probably end up that Eccles tripped him up deliberately because he wasn't being taken for long enough walks. :)Quote:
