I agree Luke will be very hurt when Maria's cheating comes out. However, it has the same root cause as her recent bad treatment of him over the Caz situation - she no longer loves him. What she told him wasn't an excuse.Quote:

Like said every situation, every relationship or personality of people involved is different. I'm only talking about this one on the screen at the moment and my view about maria shouldn't be taken as my general attitude towards women, who cheat, not at all. I've been there as that 'other woman 'so I know what I'm talking about. Never easy to anyone and emotions running high..I just don't understand maria's way of thinking.. She's not a young girl anymore and with all her past one would think she would have learned something and behave differently... But no.
It takes two to tango and we must remember the actress who plays Maria is only working to the daft scripts she gets. Yes she has done things in the past and i did not like what she did with Tyrone and Fiz. But that has nothing to do with this although it hints that she can be a dysfunctional character.
Any women would be upset on how they are treated after a one night stand if the person makes comments that are hurtful making them feel used. Aidan should have been a bit more sensitive.
However, I think Maria thinks Aidan is a better catch than Luke and sees there are problems with his relationship with Eva and that there may be an opportunity there. I do not think Aidan and Eva have chemistry and neither do Aidan and Maria. He would be better off with Alya.
But i have not been impressed with Aidan recently. I mean how is Eva supposed to know its his mums birthday she is not a mind reader!
We can sometimes all feel strongly about certain characters I know i do and we all have different views which should be respected even if we disagree

I'm sure all here understand that we are talking about the characters, not the real people behind them??! Surely?!
Let's say it then to make clear to everyone - i don't have anything against the actress playing Maria, I just don't like maria.

I don't currently think there's any more to it than that she's fallen for Aidan, but we'll see how the story unfolds. I'm definitely not going to be on her side if she starts chasing him. I hope she has more respect - for herself and Eva.Quote:

Maria has only had a quick s**g with Aidan, she is not in a relationship with him so what does she expect.
What should Aidan have said, "That was great but no more thanks"?
What was it she said afterwards, "I can't believe that just happened" I think it was, well it doesn't just happen without you knowing what is going on. There is no such thing as "and the next thing I knew was..."
I guess she supposed he might have some feelings for her or that he'd at least treat her decently afterwards even if he did instantly regret it. Not unreasonable in my book!Quote:

Depends on the shows ... I have read that EastEnders film around 6 - 12 weeks in advance, Hollyoaks around 4 months, I believe. Corrie and Emmerdale will be along those lines too.Quote:

Corrie episodes are indeed filmed 6-8 weeks ahead of schedule according to Stuart Blackburn (in this interesting interview). However, I think that's just a generalisation and it'd be impossible to put a precise figure on it because many episodes are filmed simultaneously.Quote:

I do not see what they see in Aidan. He came into the show with a storyline that was him ripping off his dad off thousands of pounds forcing him out of retirement.
No apologies he saw it as his right.
I find his really tight fitted shirts annoying, I think the fashion dept are trying to make him appear slimmer but he just looks uncomfortable. Give him shirts that fit. At least during the summer he is not wearing that white coat,

Thanks for the reply :) I'm just trying to figure out when Todd & Billy scenes will air from when they were filmed (based off tweets) lol. I know Dan and Bruno filmed some scenes July 19. I have no idea when those will air though, I'm guessing sometime in September.Quote:

Poor Eva thinking he's keen to move in with her!
Steve and Leanne have a quickie - baby! Maria and Aidan have a quickie - Aidan thinks there could be a baby!
Are contraceptives illegal in Manchester or something?
Contraceptives are unknown to scriptwriters for any soap ... as are the morning after pill .. apart from Sally Webster giving Rosie them when she tried to teach her a lesson.... and every time there is unplanned sex, it is always when the female is at her most fertile, obviously :wall::wall:Quote:

I don't by Grand Popadom Nazir having a 7yr affair, this is just a story device, we all know Queen Kate loves her affairs. Yawn.
Despite the predictability of Nick turning up at the last minute, I thought the scene between him and Leanne on the bus was well written and very romantic. I must admit to having something in my eye by the time Leanne repeated the line "I've loved you since I was sixteen"... :crying:
Did anyone else have a laugh when they saw the thickness of the wooden frame of the Platts' swing? It must have weighed a ton! I seriously doubt David could have carried the whole thing at once, especially in such a flimsy looking box. :D
I thoroughly enjoyed Roy going off on a tangent several times with his mine of information. I can't remember the last time we saw him do that. It was mean of Cathy to put him down about it though! :angry:
if leanne loved nick since 16 why choose peter
There was some serious retconning going on in that scene. :DQuote:

Yes, especially as there has never been any sign of him straying before :nono::ninja:Quote:

I think maybe as he is good with Simon so Leanne thinks he will be a good father, is she going for the easy dependable option which isn't fair on Nick, I mean how many times did she choose Peter over him and we know Peter is returning too :hmm:
I think Leanne's genuinely in love with Nick at the moment. If her main interested in him was as a father figure to her kids she wouldn't have literally run away from her feelings for him.Quote:

Yes I don't either but I also am not keen on Leanne with Nick againQuote:

No I don't buy into it either. CArla was the love of his life just a month or two back.Quote:
