Do the cast realise how pitiful this show has become? I would almost be ashamed to record some of those scenes. This fine cast deserves better material and so do we!

Couldn't agree more, ff. Sally Dynevor, Malcolm Hebden and Joe Duttine are certainly three of Corrie's finest actors, but this by-election nonsense was woeful and must have put them in a really difficult position having to make something of it.Quote:

I thought Aidan's contrived and poorly executed rescue of Marta, Eva and Billy was equally as cringeworthy. It definitely did not make Aidan look the hero (which I'm sure was what was intended). Now that Marta's served her purpose as a paper-thin plot device no doubt she'll never be mentioned again. :wall:
Equally as unlikely was an angry Kevin managing to restrain himself from confronting Phelan. I was quite looking forward to that, so I hope Kevin will get him alone to make it clear to him that he'll pay sooner or later.
Kevin don't have the smarts to outwit and threaten Phelan imo
With Owen gone and Jason, Gary and Michael not too smart either, I think it could be left to Todd as Tony isn't returning
Kevin might not be as clever as Phelan, but the latter is so cocky he'll make a mistake sooner or later. However, I agree Todd is the likeliest person to cotton on to Phelan's dastardly ways and outwit him. He already smells a rat.Quote:

I may have underestimated Kevin, he handled Phelan well by sending the wine over showing he is flush with cash and also has Anna
Gemma standing up to Bethany's bullies was nice
Sarah in Labour reminded me of this:

:D
Another thing that made me laugh out loud was Nick 35. :rotfl:
I didn't think Nick's age would ever be mentioned again because Ben Price is so obviously a decade older. Better to avoid the subject altogether I think.Quote:

All the nods to the past between Sarah and Todd were nostalgic. I hope she'll me able to bond with her baby. Todd should be godfather.
It was nice that we got to see Marta get her happy ending. I didn't expect to see her again, so well done Corrie (even if it was too little too late in my opinion).
ben price needs to dye his hair get rid of the grey, if nick is "35"

Eva isn't only blonde with boobies, she's also nice, I've always liked this character. I suppose you can hear if someone is nice over the phone too. :)
i like her as well but never thought she was business smart to save the factoryQuote:

duplicate post.
I just want to punch Tracey Luv in the face!
When did Eileen become a grade A bitch?
Gail you are better off without Michael. You can do so much better.
Poor episodes again tonight. I just hope Michael stays in Brighton with his choc ices and 99's.

I'll bet Michael never gets as far as Stockport with his choc ices and 69's (dyslexia lures).

So it seems the Corrie writers agree with our view that Tracy is "nasty, juvenile and boring". If you feel that way, do something about her for goodness sake!
At this rate Carla's going to leave in the back of a police car having murdered her nemesis - and who could blame her? I'd certainly cheer at seeing the back of smug Tracy (who had the hypocrisy to call Carla smug on Friday)!
Hasn't Gail heard of a phone? It seems now Michael's left Weatherfield, he's incommunicado... :wall:
Probably about the same time Gail became the village idiot...Quote:
