Evas raison d'être is to be the bod dumped for someone else in this show. Her character hasn't changed, she is still the needy girl friend that men lust over then regret winning the hand of.
But then Eva is now the only one that can act suited to two chumps who really cant, Ward just dosent have a actors voice and Scots bloke sounds more like a drunk Norwedian pretending to be a celtic fan.
Oh and its worrying when the most seemingly rational person in the Barlow group is Tracy.
Totally agree on that one. I mean those christmas cards are so over the top!
I think he firstly needs to have a personality. IMO he is plank of wood.Quote:

so todd and adam are both solicitors with no jobs
I was puzzled by Shayne winning best newcomer to be honest because he's never been a winner for me.Quote:

Nasty pieces of work can still make good characters if the actors are excellent and project a personality that draws us in and makes us want to watch them.
Unfortunately, Shayne lacks that charisma and will never be a good character for me whether he's nasty or nice.
I don't think Todd is a solicitor but he did work for one in some capacity.Quote:

Todd is not a solicitor, he used to work as clerk in a solicitor´s office thoughQuote:

Leanne and Peter took the clamping incident rather lightly ... I would have been rather more upset about having to wait around and of course the bill :angry:
They are very tacky-but it's so Eva! :) I've always liked her-she's a great character, and I just love when she laughs! So funny! :DQuote:

I wished Peter would have been bit more thoughtful about Anna's situation?! Anna is not my favourite character, but the way Peter just wants her out of the flat is disgusting! Surely he could have said to her that 'there's no hurry, take your time, I give you enough time to find a place' .. Poor woman is not even able to move around! What's the rush anyway, Peter has a roof above his head-should focus on Ken now anyway and leave women alone for a while! Why do they always have to pair people with someone in soaps?! Get Norris a woman, but leave Peter alone for a while!!
Yes, Peter was unexpectedly horrible to Anna about the flat. I thought he was going to give her a month's notice at the very least.
I'm sure she must have rights even if there isn't a contract.
As far as I understand the law, the fact that she is paying him rent is a de facto contract and therefore he can't just throw her out. He can give her notice to quit and if she still doesn't go he would have to go to the County Court to get her evicted.Quote:

Having said that, of course, UK law and good practice don't apply in Weatherfield, e.g Council elections, planning laws, archaeological excavations and so on, so who knows what the law is up there with regard to rented properties?Quote:

Todd is just the person to give Anna advice about her notice to quit then - assuming he knows Weatherfield law and not just UK law.Quote:

Poor Roy. I want to throw a brick at the telly when Cathy's sister is on. Vile self centered creature.
Love the character of Daniel. Brilliantly played by Rob Mallard.
peter should have punched nick he deserved it and why is nick not mad with robert who was good drunk :p
two sons for steve
roy and cathy made the right decision but i dont feel sorry for cathy, does she and her sister leave now, alex could stay with roy

It seemed to be a case of be careful what you wish for when Roy was alone in his flat after Cathy left. I'm a bit worried they won't split after all! I like the idea of just Alex living with Roy - Cathy can stay with Yasmeen.
Peter's in luuuurve :heart: (with the other Bros fan :p) which is why he isn't being riled by Nick's petty bullying.
His uncharacteristically abrupt notice to quit to Anna was just a plot device to get her living with Kevin ASAP. I like that the psychological repercussions of her burns are being explored, but I expect it all to be forgotten very quickly (just like David's murderous grief and the "investigation" into his crash).
Poor Yasmeens hair, what had the vile Nessa done? Well at least somebody had actually gone to Audrey's to have their barnet done and looked as though they had a shampoo and set.
Lots of humour last night.
Sally: Coming dressed like that to a wedding. It's the heigth of rudeness.
Sinead: Heigth?
Sally: Yes, it's a word. Look it up.
I did, out of interest and surprisingly there is an entry about it, although it's not a word: http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000285.htm
While scattering Michael's ashes:
Gail: He's at peace now.
It instantly occurred to me, that it was more likely the other spelling of the word: "He's in pieces now."
I loved Tim's gift of a pedestal mat as a wedding present, but mainly because of Sally's revulsion at it.
I want to see if anything pans out about Tim and Sally's "traditional wedding bunk-up".
First I've heard that Norris has a brother called Ramsey?
Norris had a half-brother called Ramsey, was in Corrie for a few weeks about 7 years ago now, they were estranged as Norris blamed Ramsey for the death of their mother. Ramsey tried to make peace with Norris as he had an incurable brain cancer. Ramsey was played by Andrew Sachs, who played Manuel in Fawlty Towers and has died recentlyQuote:

How come Brian and Tyrone were still wearing their dirty clothes at the reception? They both live on the street, surely they would have had time to go and get changed.
I liked the fact that roy didn't marry Cathy..although he was quite rude to her. Didn't he understand or didn't he care? And why couldn't they just put it off for now and continue their relationship? That wasn't discussed at all.
I still hope that Cathy would stay around and work at the cafe though..She brings more life into that place.
But if she goes, I hope she takes Alex with her. Sorry.
Nick is getting annoying again. I hope there won't be any clashes between him and Peter again. It's just repeat if that happens.

Roy admitted he cared for Cathy but does not love her although Cathy loves him. In that case a continued friendship, which I am sure will be the case, is the best solution. I too hope Cathy will keep working in the cafe.Quote:

If Cathy continues to work at the café just hope Anna doesn't return. As far as Tyrone's concerned , overalls are normally worn to protect clothing .Surely ,even for Tyrone how long does it take to get the overalls off or as Mariba suggests put a change of trousers on. I guess it was supposed to be funny...:thumbsdow. Liked Cathy's reference to Brian as Usain Bolt.
The way Anna is still very poorly and hardly able to move, I expect it will be a while before she returns to the cafe ... but of course, living with Kevin might miraculously speed up the healing process ...Quote:

Rather Cathy and Alex than Nessa who would make a move on Roy, I am sure, she is so thick skinned :thumbsdowQuote:
