I loved Desmonds. Wasn't Polly from the Bill Gloria's best mate? They had recently started repeating Desmonds on Sky on the African channel and it is still very funny. :DQuote:

Who does Tracy think she is to barge into the Bistro demanding Robert stops talking to Carla and listen to her? And surely, if you think you are pregnant you would want to tell your man in private, not at his workplace? :wall::searchme:
I wonder if they are having some sort of competition amongst the Corrie scriptwriters...? I thought that the by-election story was the absolute pits, but they seem to have managed to plumb the depths even further with this storyline about the garden fence.
Let's hope someone wins the competition for the worst ever soap story soon and put us all out of our misery!
Thank goodness Tracy wasn't pregnant! I really want Robert to stay strong and never get back with her. It's the very least she deserves. Unfortunately, we know she'll take her anger out on Carla and Nick if Robert refuses to back down.
If the blackmail is revealed, Tracy could go to prison for a very long time (a girl can dream... :p).
robert knows the truth about the fire he should blab to all and not take her back
sadly it is Tracey's word vs Carla's re the blackmail?Quote:

that's the answer Tracey will give
I was thinking that Robert could testify against Tracy, but I know it's never going to happen and she's not going to be jailed for the blackmail. :(Quote:

A wasted opportunityQuote:

Best bit of the episode for me was Carla and Leanne. I have also warmed to Yasmeen. I hope she stays in the street with the rest of the Nazir's.
The main problem with the episode was there was far too much of Tracey in it. :(
There will be lots of Tracy in the episodes now until the wedding and/or Carla´s departure :angry:Quote:

Especially Alya.:DQuote:

how will this pan out?
Nick has sold the Bistro now, he cant take it back? but doesn't leave?
I get Carla leaving when it all comes out, and I think Tracey is actually pregnant, just needs a second test in a few days?
True about pregnancy test. Positive is only the result you can count on
a feud everyone wants to see NOTQuote:

Very quick turn around by Robert. , particularly while Leanne seems to be his favourite at the moment. Surely must be more to occur involving Robert, Nick ,Carla and Tracy.Quote:

I think this storyline for Carla is awful, what happened to the strong wiled woman of older days :angry:
Yes, which is why he offered her the pay rise.Quote:

Good point Tammy and Dazzle, his interest in Leanne maybe more to do with a consolation award. What could push Tracy over the edge to reveal all to Nick would be Robert offering Leanne a share of the business . I think that would really produce a jealous anger in Tracy.
Not sure he feels guilty but now he knows the real reason he was able to buy the Bistro, he probably thinks it was gained under unfair conditions. I think Robert is a fair guy and likes things to be done fairlyQuote:

I know Coronation Street is hot on recycling and has won an award for being very green and environment friendly, but this does not mean they have to recycle their scripts every episode. :angry::wall:
Shame we cant do petitions on here
Corrie spends far too much time and resource trying to make characters and stories into similar ones to those 20 or 30 years ago. Jack and Vera were a naturally combative "old married couple". Tim and Sally are a totally ridiculous, contrived, unbelievable, forced imitation which insults the intelligence of the viewers.
I also note the way that certain characters are never made to seem as if they do anything wrong. Thus, Kate's girlfriend has got to come across as a nasty, aggressive bully to try and make it look as if Sophie is not wrecking someone else's marriage/ relationship. Rather similar to Tina's girlfriend in Eastenders. Once again, ridiculously manipulative and contrived.

I love Tim and Sally! My favourite couple on the Cobbles for a very long time! They are just so funny, especially Tim. I was just laughing when Sally was boasting about imaginary ' Timothy ' to her new posh friends! �� She will come tumbling down again very soon, she always does! ��
