It had me in tears too. Didn't notice any errors, and if there were, so what? Credit to all concerned. I'd rather it hadn't been Peter to die though.

What a f*cking episode Corrie at it's very best well done to all involved the acting was brillant by all imo
I'd love for Peter to get a miracle and survive
That'd be brilliant, I'm really upset that he's seemingly gone.Quote:

Ah and when they put Ashley's phone message on in the pub. That was very emotional.
And Charlotte surviving wow! I thought it was possible, but I didnt really think that she would survive to be honest. But I do hope she pulls through because I dont want John to be guilty of yet another murder.
Im glad Molly told Sally, but I would have liked Tyrone to be there as well. Unless that's gonna be next episode?! Alan Halsall did give a hint that he would go in and talk to Molly before she died during Monday's behind the scenes episode. Though think she's probably already dead.
I takeit Molly is dead but is Peter also?
I wonder will Leanne find out he was in office with Nick as he was confessing about their affair
Who was the person that died in the car that had 3 kids? I thought it might be Jim
I didn't think it was one of the characters we know.Quote:

Yeh I was also curious about the guy in the car with the 3 kids. I hope they dont count him as the 4th death, cos we dont know him.
It seemed like Molly died as soon as Sally took her hand away, so Im assuming they are going to have Sally carrying the burden of that on her conscience. But then Molly may not yet be dead. Sally was crying because of what Molly said about Kevin. Tyrone might not be too late to say goodbye.
Coronation Street love cheat Molly Dobbs has become the second character to be officially confirmed as a casualty of the soap's 50th anniversary week.
In an hour-long live episode which aired this evening, the new mum - played by Vicky Binns - tragically passed away before a rescue team could free her from the rubble in the wrecked Corner Shop.
Shortly before Molly's death, close friend Sally Webster (Sally Dynevor) came to her side in order to provide moral support in her time of need. However, as Molly realised that she only had moments left to live, she dramatically came clean over her affair with Sally's husband Kevin.
Making future plans for the baby she had with Kevin, a dying Molly told Sally: "I didn't want to hurt you. Jack's not going to have his mummy - he's going to need his daddy… It's Kevin, I'm sorry."
Molly passed away shortly after her confession, leaving Sally to break the news of her death to the shop worker's partner Tyrone.
Tonight's live episode also saw a critical Peter Barlow marry Leanne Battersby in hospital as he believed he was about to die. However, as soon as he said his vows, he dramatically flatlined - leaving his future uncertain.
Meanwhile, the death of Ashley Peacock was also confirmed on screen and Fiz Stape was seen giving birth to a baby girl, who she named Hope.
Later, the nightmare faced by Fiz's husband John continued as he tried to disguise Charlotte Hoyle's lifeless body as part of the tram crash carnage - only to be told by a paramedic that she still had a weak pulse.
As Coronation Street's birthday celebrations continue tomorrow night, fans are expected to discover whether Peter will become the third casualty of the week, whether Rita Sullivan will be found in the wrecked Kabin and how John will get out of his latest fix.
Peter is not dead yet. I think they will save him they've just used his flatline as a red herring. The guy in the car wasn't a character it was just someone random they were taking about who was in a parked car. Charlotte is still alive. You know whats going to happen John is going to go back to the hospital and pull the wires from her life support machine to finish her off.
There were tears of sadness and laughter tonight. Sadness at Peter and Claire and laughter at scary Mary with her costic remarks about poor Rita. Everyone in the cafe was upset over Ashley's death and she was brilliant.
Is the article above an official source? It starts off sounding like a proper article but then at the end it turns into speculation over Peter being alive, which I dont think a news piece would say.
I also didnt think Molly was dead yet. I thought Sally was crying because of what she told her about Kevin.
ok people are getting ahead of themselves here....Peter was seen in VF, not dead.
That merely means his heart electrical activity had gone heywire - hence the need for the shock to get it back in rhythm.
so in probability he will be back with us tonight!!
I'm afraid Molly is as dead as a dodo.Quote:

What about Kevin's dad Bill Webster I mean where was he but does he have 3 kids ????????Quote:

Maybe I should have kept watching it but all the crying and screaming was too much for me... I also found it delayed.. sally would say something and then camera turn to Sian and Sophie (I think), they would cry and then back to Sally (no sound in background) and then back to the crowd with crying...
Might try watch a repeat if the rest of it was any good... (plus I hate all the fake birth scenes in any soap live or not, they never get to hospital on time to get the epidural, they shout for a bit and it is all over.. given birth is not like that at all and it annoys me that soap/movie birth scenes are all done the same way)
This isnt Dallas although Vera's returnr from the dead was well doneQuote:

I really have to disagree with you on this one Shiv. I thought Julia Haworth acted her part very well. She was so overcome with the shock of losing her helium voiced hubby that she had passed the crying stage. IMHO she reacted just as I have seen others behave in similar circumstancesQuote:

I agree 100% with you there. The Fiz birth scenes were comical and totally OTT. The only good bit was when John discovered that Chez and his lover were on their way back to the House of Horrors for a quickieQuote:

I did notice some of the things you mentioned in the beginning, but then I was so caught up in the programme that I forgot about any negatives. I know you're not a regular Corrie watcher, Siobhan, so maybe not being as invested in the characters as us fans made any negative aspects more noticeable.Quote:

I've got no complaints about it as such. I thought it was well done. I only noticed one small mistake I think when Sally missed a cue and there was a bit of a delay. Other than that I thought they did really well and it all came across well.
There were a couple of small questions. 1. How did Anna get back into her house? 2. What was all that about the blood transfusion for baby Jack? Unless Jack was a very rare blood group they wouldn't need to ask the father for a transfusion. It's not like a marrow transplant or a kidney transplant. There must be plenty of blood around at the hospital they could use!
My one big question though is why? What real difference was there having the episode live as opposed to recorded? My wife, who is an outright cynic, said it was to create the publicity, get a bigger audience so they could charge the advertisers more! Surely not!!!???
Alan.. I think it was just Claire character itself that annoyed me.. I couldn't stand her anytime she was on so maybe seen it live just annoyed me more.. BTW the coming back for the dead was a joke.
Dazzle, maybe you are right, i don't have a vested interest in the characters so maybe I didn't feel for them as much.. however, the bits of corrie I do tune into, I have to say I really do like the John character.. one of the better ones I have seen on the street in a long time.. I know most of the old characters anyway from watch years ago
On the subject of mistakes. I think the firmen were wering the wrong hats. The guy with the bog standard yellow hat was odering the guy with the Station Officers White hat about. White Hat man asked yellow hat man if it was ok to let Sally back into the building when it should have been the other way around. Where was Sallys safety hat that she was supposed to be wearing.
I gathered that. Maybe she will do a Den Watts in a few years timeQuote:

I guess they still get paid by advertisers and having a live show means more people watching so need for ads... Those ads people probably paid a fortune for that nightQuote:

She was...I was quite astonished as she's never been shown standing before.Quote:

Fantastic episode, I was glued. I think they all did amazing to say it was live. I thought Jane Danson in particular was brilliant, especially in the hospital scenes.
Loved the Molly/Sally stuff too although I thought it was ridiculous that they let Sally go in to see her, surely that would never happen?!
And what about poor Rita, still trapped! :eek:
I don't think Izzy standing was a mistake. I'm assuming she was able to stand (against the bar) but obviously not walk.Quote:
