I'm guessing Roy as the scriptwriters decide it will be a good idea to suddenly change his personality for no reason at all, as they are already doing.

No doubt following on from her success getting Damon acquitted, Dee Dee will spot this flaw when she represents Stephen in court at some point in the far distant future, and get him off, claiming Rufus didn't take adequate precautions when drinking with a mass murderer.

Do I get the job as a scriptwriter?

But Rufus did not know Stephen was a mass murderer so no cigar for Dee Dee.

Considering that the usual dose of LSD is only a small drop, the amount that Stephen poured into his drink was enough to send the whole of Weatherfield on a trip. Which should alert the police that Rufus may not have taken the drug willingly, unless of course it was suicide.

Before that no doubt we will have to endure both Michael and Paul being wrongfully accused. Michael because he lied about seeing Rufus that night and Paul because he stole his car and was therefore at the house. An interesting twist could be if the tie pin is found and Michel knows about it, would he tell the police or would he use it to blackmail Stephen into giving him a good job?

The tie pin was already gone when Stephen pushed Rufus into the pool, but it was still there when they were drinking together and when he got up to help Rufus, so I presume it caught on the dressing gown while he was holding him.

Good idea but by that stage Dee Dee will be representing Donald J Trump in Murica because he has heard about her huge successes on both sides of the Pond. Apparently her Facebook Law Degree has status higher than Harvard or Oxford.

Does anyone here know the purpose of the police tape at the house, it is surely not to keep people out. Both Michael and Ronnie ducked under it and spoke to the woman in the police car while two police officers standing only feet away did nothing to stop them.

The extras decided that they weren't paid enough to actually stop people

stephen was like an evangelist with his advice to michael then rufus murder flashback

Almost as good as the Legend that was Marcus Christie

Andy Whyment who plays Kirk always keeps me entertained, he plays the character so well. Even last night talking about his underpants and the crown jewels was funny.

I see the evil little Hope has the chance to earn some blackmail money, having photographed Beth and her fancy man snogging.

Her Mum appears to have gone AWOL. Her Mum, the strict disciplinarian. NOT.

What happed to the watch Peter found in his cab, did it belong to Rufus, did no one come looking for it?

So when Adam kept going on about the practice having no clients apart from Damon, that wasn't true because Dee-Dee was working on Stu's case.

Yes claiming compo for being locked up for many years after pleading guilty.

Ryan was struggling with his injury and when the specialist mentioned a skin graft. Ryan responded with, "A bit of thigh slapped on me face."

At the risk of appearing flippant:
As a kid I had a perforated eardrum. I had a bit of skin from my backside grafted on to make a new eardrum.
Even now, my hearing's not great. I do manage to make a joke, saying, "Regarding people talking out of their a*se. At least I can hear out of mine."

I had this done over fifty years ago when I was about twelve.
I've lived in Thailand for the past twenty-five years. I went to see a hearing specialist here about my hearing degrading as I get older.
I told him about the skin graft for my perforated eardrum. The specialist examined my ear, saying, "I've heard about this being done years ago, but this is the first time I've actually seen it."
Ooh, that made me feel really old.

So they took the bandage off Ryan's face but not his arm... :hmm:

Did Peter not sell it to pay off Paul, so that he would not make a claim against Carla?

Obviously I'm no expert but I think it would be helpful to show Ryan a series of photo's of someone in his situation. Starting with a face like his and finishing with the same face after successful treatment.

Faye is in a very difficult sitaution. If she wants to see a lot of her daughter she will have to dump Craig and live with Jackson

Good point. She wasn't very keen at all at first.

The scenes with Ryan and Carla were very good in the hospital. I love any scene with Roy and Evelyn. Highlight of the episode.

According to IMDB, Roy Cropper started in Corrie in 1995 appearing in 2,435 episodes.

I remember David Neilson in Boys from the Blackstuff (1982) when he played an offical from the Department of Employment.
He seems to be good at playing seemingly mundane characters - no disrespect. I think he's a great actor.

One of his memorable performances was as a Council leader in 'Between the lines'

I remember his first appearance as Roy. He had a flat above Deirdre . Can?t remember much else except that they met on the stairs and I think she thought he was a bit strange. Nothing new there then.

Poor Elisa, just wait till Hope finds out she is becoming friendly with Sam.

Thanks for the info.
I just had a look, and see there were three series of Between the Lines (1992-94), and David only appeared in one episode out of 35, but it doesn't appear to list which episode it was.
I don't remember the seres offhand, but don't want to download all of them just see the one David was in.
Any idea?
