Current Episode Discussion- III

Sean Gallagher (aka Paul C) Is a very high profile, very successful and well established actor, he has been in dramas etc with other high profile and extremely well known actors/actresses such as Sean Bean and Liza Tarbuck. IMO he is absolutely brilliant and portrays the wonderful Paul Connor superbly. No way is he "wooden" and he certainly IS NOT a bad actor. People need to do their homework before critising. Anyway it's the same old, same old,successful actors/actresses, espec very popular ones, always get the most critisim:)

O.K there are flaws in the Kasia death storyline, just as there are in all storylines in anything, but it is not REAL, it is only make believe, fiction, if every detail, in every storyline was to be portrayed accurately then watching TV would be a bore and IMO you may as well park yourself on a seat in the street and watch the world go by. Soaps are entertainment, enjoyment and a way of chilling out at the end of the day.

The above is my opinion and the way I see things and not designed to be offensive to other people's opinions which of course are respected.

On the subect of Corrie one word FANTASTIC, with superb acting and brilliant characters.:) A soap which is just going from strength to strength. With regards to the way Kesia died she did in actual fact fall down the stairs whilst carrying heavy boxes.

But she did fall down the stairs.

I agree with everyone about the time of death though. I thought that while I was watching it and it really spoiled the whole episode for me.

I thought it was a really good episode even though slightly disturbing, that Paul didnt really bat an eyelid about what he was doing.

Carla is really growing on me, i thought she was good in the story and Liam, who I cant stand was good last night as well.

Yeah the connors have been great since they started. There were things that happened which you thought maybe shouldn't be allowed to have but they did, doesn't make it different, it was a fab episode, and only time will tell if they get found out or not.

Another good double episode from Corrie. I'm loving the Connors at the moment they really are a great addition as is Jerry Morton now too gone on the rest of his family yet. You could see that Liam and Carla were distraught but Paul wasn't. Derek/Liz/Vernon storyline is boring.

Loved Corrie last night, the Connors really shone, a great family and loved seeing how they reacted in a crisis.

Jack was funny with Liam and Jamie, enjoyed them scenes, especially when he said "at least i'd die with birds and booze" :lol:

The only criticism i have, like everyone else has said, a post mortem will reveal the time of death surely?

Yep, I agree. I'm finally warming to Carla now, and Liam is good with Leanne. I'm afraid I don't like Paul much though.

Jack was good (as always) and much missed of course.

I thought the fall was well done, but unsure about the PM like everyone else.

apparantly a PM is only done if they died in suspcious cirumstances or the cause of death is unkwown.

Seen as Carla saw what caused the death - falling, and the forensics confirmed she fell, as the police man told Paul and Liam, then maybe they dont suspect foul play and take her word for it - hence no PM.

I'm not an expert on this though so could be wrong, maybe Alan could fill us in?

Shows how much I paid attention :lol:.

Although - the police did say there was going to be a PM, that's why got confused Bry.

But I'm not saying it wasn't a good episode, cause it was :). And I really like Paul too, don't think he's wooden ha.

Really don't like the Mortons or what ever they're called though lol. Done nothing for my.. yet.

Interesting and enjoyable posts:)

I'm no expert either (although the amount of CSI I watch I ought to be:lol: ) but going from my own knowledge, the way I understand things is that if there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding a death then a PM isn't usually done.(As BB has already said above) As for the time of death being established, now this is a confusing area, I have heard that it's not possible to tell the exact time of death but only possible to give an approx time. As for the rigamorphis (stiffness)/decay of a body, how fast this happens I beleive depends on the temp of a room that a body is in, obviously the cooler the room the slower the decaying etc.

Now I haven't actually seen Monday's episode yet only read the update but from what I can gather Kasia's body was only left for approx 2 hours before an ambulance was called which I beleive realistically this period of time is the approx of time which is often given for a death, i.e between the hours of 6 and 8.

I know that there is mixed feelings from people about the character Paul (which is fair enough because it would be boring if we all agreed all the time)because of his callousness and bad boy ways but I love characters like this, he's not all bad he is very loving and caring with it, also cheeky and playful and at the end of the day he just deals with things differently, "in his way". Most of the time I beleive he just hides his true emotions to be strong for those he cares most about, Liam/Carla/Michelle/Ryan, his family. Paul is just a big softie really.:D (Paul for me, is the Matt King/Jake Moon and Paul Robinson of the Cobbles all rolled into one with a few extras)

I'm glad that Jack is being interacted with the younger members of the cast, Liam/Jamie and am looking forward to seeing this scene.

Sunday's episode

I really enjoyed and of course thought that Carla/Paul scenes were just adorable.

Liam/Carla both growing on me more but still haven't taken to these two 100%, Liam I have taken more to than Carla whom I just love with Paul of course.
Vicky is a fantastic addition and would love her to replace "Motor Mouth" Battersby.

I enjoyed Liz/Derek and hope that Liz dumps Vernon but I do like him more now, although I do find it very irritating when he keeps using the bar top of the Rover's as a drum! Vernon works very well with Steve and Betty two more very wonderful and commical characters.

Quite enjoying the baby Holly storyline too, Eileen is another great character. Corrie just have so many right now and to be honest at the end of the day I don't think you can really single any one single "character"(Actor/actress) out, as they are all fabulous as are the storylines and writers who write them, just a real shame that so many great characters are about to disappear:( still at least it is their decision.
