Casting Paul Ryder as Craig's dad was a good piece of casting, they do look like father and son.
Although Craig has only just met him, how long has he known his Dad's name (Darryl Parkins)?
I thought it was hilarious that his pet is also Darryl the rat.
I noticed his Dad's cellmate, now on parole, was referred to as "Flatulent Phil - he's a breath of fresh air".
.
Todd was being way too pushy about Billy leaving the church. I know he tried to act supportive, but come on. He obviously wants Billy to leave the church. Him saying it's "up to Billy" is bs because he was the one who brought it up, not Billy. It should be Billy's decision, not his.
That scene felt like the kiss of death for Andy, especially since he's had no proper storylines since he was revealed as not-Gavin. It's a shame because the actor is good. :(Quote:

Billy's so rarely at work his congregation must be tiny. :ninja:
where is billy junkie brother now
Probably run off with Michael.
so it was craig who ratted on his mum beth
I am so done with Eileen. She was slagging off her own son while he was looking out for her. It's no wonder Todd is so messed up.
Especially when he is referred to as "she". :)Quote:

It's always been a bit ambiguous up to now whether she is actually on the Planning Committee or not. However, even if she is just the ward councillor for such a big development, and having told Phelan she would use her "influence" to support him, she should have been at the meeting to put a word in as ward Councillors are allowed to speak on applications affecting their ward.Quote:

Steph is the most bland good looking actress in soap land, I cant put my finger on it, maybe she litrally needs to let her hair down more and dump the numpty boyfriend and make her the new Tina ish character.
Steph had way too much make up yesterday she looked like a clown. Andy needs some good scripts he's a good actor and they are making him look like a fool in time for her to dump him
or cheat on himQuote:

Moral chameleon Todd being tempted by the serpent Phelan adds another layer of complexity. Will Todd succumb and, if so, how far will he be willing to go to see his friends and neighbours ripped off?
I used to think the actors who play Beth and Craig were OK but I've recently changed my opinion I'm afraid. I think they're probably better as amusing background characters rather than carrying serious storylines at the forefront of the show. Mind you, they're not the only ones to whom that applies by any means.
I think Todd knows exactly what he is doing and is not taken in at all. I think he is just going along with it to see how far Phelan will go then he will oust him. I may be wrong but I can't see Todd being tempted by money .
I think many upstanding people would be tempted by the promise of riches, if only for a few seconds. Hopefully that's all that's happened in this case. One of the interesting things about Todd as a character is that he's unpredictable and it's often hard for us viewers to know what he's thinking.Quote:

No definitely not, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be willing to work with him if he believed he (and his family) would benefit. It all depends on what direction the Corrie team want to take him.Quote:

Don't tell me that Phelan is about to become a victim and get everyone's sympathy . Please noooooooooo. He can't get away with it and be whiter than white.
If that happens at least there are a few characters living on Coronation Street who won't believe him to be a victim.Quote:

I thought that . Are they supposed to be buying it for £65,000. It was a massive building . Huge. A jobbing builder like Phelan would never be able to take on a project that big.Quote:

Emerdale, Doctors now Corrie.. the chaps doing well, plus the Land rover dealership he obviously is sponsored by, I may be caught in a loop :ninja:
Beth the bigamist, theres a Jimmy Carr joke in there which Im too scared to say :rotfl:
I know Ian Kelsey (Vinny) from Casualty. He was a major character for several years back in the day. I really liked him - it may even have been when he left that I stopped watching.Quote:

That would still leave a lot of Corrie residents out of pocket and I don´t want that to happen :(Quote:

I'm not a fan of Anna's by any means, but I do think the character deserves to feel smug when Phelan's true colours become apparent to everyone.Quote:
