Well, Eileen binned him. As for Gail, well, she is just pathetic and so is he . No-one else is fighting over him ……..well, maybe Eccles ?Quote:

Yes i forgot that when she is not in a relationship she is saving the world. As for micheal he is miserable and a user. I mean being dumped by eileen and next day chasing gail. Shows hes just after a roof over his head. He is coming back though after his stint in the theatre so will be back with gail and will gloat when he sees what happens to eileen. Or it all comes out when he is back and he has to choose between gail and eileen. Wonder who will be the lucky one
You've just spoilt my Easter Sunday saying he is coming back. The fat fool.Quote:

I think you mean Freddie and yes, I too have been wondering about why this character was created.Quote:

Not on a General, i.e non-spoiler thread I don't!:ninja::DQuote:

Todd's great: one of my favourite characters, but so underused! Bruno Langley deserves to be at the forefront of the show. He's head and shoulders above the likes of Fiz, Tyrone and Tracy (and much of the rest of the cast if truth be told) in the acting and personality stakes.Quote:

Sean: "Thanks for the nosh Patrick".
I see it didn't take Anna long to revert to being a nasty cow. She had absolutely no sympathy that Izzy's in such pain she has to seek illegal pain relief! And fancy virtually abducting Jake when his perfectly capable father was standing there! :wall:
However, I've got to admit that Izzy's "funny turn" was hilarious... :lol:
I'm finding it hard to believe in Michelle suddenly being so put upon. The way she keeps exclaiming that she's running three businesses (even in Liz's presence) you'd think she was doing so single-handedly.
Why must they shoe horn Tracey into every scene? Why have they all of a sudden turned Sally from a snobby, annoying character into a hard faced cow. Are the script writer's using a young Maggie as their inspiration? I should not have done, but I did find the Izzy scenes amusing for all the wrong reasons. Terrible, terrible writing. The show goes from bad to worse. :(
If I had been Gary or Anna and seen Izzy in that much pain, I would have taken her to A&E, I know Izzy´s doctor would not prescribe stronger painkillers but just treating the pain is not good enough, surely she should have an MRI scan and whatever else to find out what is causing it. She must have really hurt her hip when she fell out of the wheelchair and might need more than just treating the pain ???:hmm:
Soap characters, of course, won't go to the doctor, or call the police, or ring an ambulance, or do what any normal person would do in a given circumstance because it would interfere with a storyline so they prefer to be in a difficult or dangerous situation instead. My favourite soap reaction is where somebody is accidentally responsible for someone's death (like causing them to trip and fall down the stairs) when they decide to dispose of the body rather than just ring the police to report a tragic accident. I do it all the time I've lost count of the dead bodies I've got in my garden shed or buried under the floorboards.
If any other member had said that I'd laugh it off, but I admit you've got me worried MoMo... :eek:Quote:

I actually thought Kym was quite good as the despairing Michelle - and I'm not usually a fan. As usual with Corrie recently though, this storyline of Michelle being at the end of her tether has come out of nowhere with no build-up so it's not very convincing. Liz assuming the worst after a couple of meetings with her ex was well over-the-top!
I really feel sorry for people like Izzy suffering from chronic pain with no easy remedy. I know many are forced to seek alternative ways of deadening the pain as Izzy did. What a horrible situation.. :(
Was anyone else unable to stop the playaway theme tune playing thru their head during the entire epp?
A big improvement from the start of the week. Liz has got a nerve, especially with her track record, standing up for her lazy saintly sun. If I were Michelle I would run far away. Mary is always good value, she made me smile tonight.
I take it this refers to Freddie Smith (Derek Griffiths)?Quote:

Yes, Derek was in Play Away (and Play School). I remember him very well.Quote:

Oh right. It looks like imdb is rather amiss in this case. They're normally on the ball with these things.Quote:

The bar has been set very high. :DQuote:

Yes, he kept tearing the heads off the puppets and, if I recall correctly, murdered a number of his fellow actors as well as a couple of kids on the show.Quote:
