It depends how you look upon it. In a way both Paul and Leanne were blackmailing each other in the sense that they both threatened to tell their respective partners if one or the other blabbed. Paul and Leanne did a deal in the hotel room and agreed not to say anything. However Liam was getting more and more serious about Leanne which led to Paul becoming more and more wound up because he didn't want Liam getting hurt, again here we have the "Protection" factor with Paul another factor contributing towards his "Unhinging". This is why Paul wanted rid of Leanne plus of course he didn't like the fact that she knew his "dirty" little secret and had a hold over him. Then of course she became matey with Carla, winding Paul up even more and then they were going to buy the restaurant together, again turning that key in Paul's head:)

I agree she is a tart with a heart and as I have said earlier I do feel sorry for Leanne but not entirely as I feel she has brought her misery upon herself by not being honest with Liam and weaving a web of lies not only with Liam but with the other Connors (except Paul of course) which contributed to pushing Paul over the edge.

Leanne like Paul had/has emotional issues, hers being the famous Baldwin love triangle which messed her up and is the reason she turned "Escort" for protection and money and has led to her downfall. The reason why I am looking forward to her comeuppance is because up until the other night she was golden girl and Paul was bad boy now the tables have turned on her..

Poor Leanne had given up her escort business because she fell in love with Liam. It was only when she got the chance to get into a honest business with Carla that she returned to the game as Rachel to earn £20000 to set herself up in the Restaurant business. Paul is still the bad boy. He already killed one person with his drunkeness. He was married to a stunner like Carla and still spent £250 a time on Secretarial Services. He would still have been shag**g around had Rachel not turned up.

Yes Paul was a bad boy and yes he would still be screwing around, he was a game player, it was all part of his wonderful character, although I truely believe he would of stopped once Carla found out. Paul's "Prozzy" habit was a bad one which he admitted but I beleive it was also somewhere he could go for "Paul" time and I don't just mean for the sex. On the other hand if Sean had stayed on, with Paul's marriage being over with etc I beleive he would of got a whole lot worse and used the "escorts" more.

There are other ways to get money other than on your back, like a bank for example. O.K Leanne did have all good intentions of giving up the "Escorting" and making an honest living, making herself a better person for the man she loved but it was her get rich quick scheme that contributed greatly to the heartache for the Connors and I don't just mean Paul's death. Also she is causing Janice a lot of heartache who loves her and worries herself sick about her. I think Liam has done the right thing telling her to get lost because of her lies, but he isn't thinking straight right now, no where near,maybe when he starts to come to terms with what has happened he'll be a bit more understanding. Perhaps one day he'll find it in his heart to forgive her, as he always did Paul, and give their realtionship another go. I can see these two as the new Pau/Carla with regards to the fiery and torublesome relationship, another match made in heaven.
O.K Leanne is in for a rough ride and I will enjoy it but I will probably end up feeling sorry for her as she is another of my Corrie favourites but it's not all bad

Spoiler:

apparantly Leanne ends up runnng the Pizza restaurant and struggles but along comes Paul Duckworth who helps her out with his chefing skills,(just hope that all he helps her out with and the only kind of business she does with him:lol: )

What has happened Corrie. Its becoming as inaccurate as that other soap regarding Death. Paul died on Wednesday and by Sunday they were flying him to Ireland for a funeral.

Now in Real Life

1. The Coroner would be informed (have you tried contacting and English Coroner on a FRiday afternoon)
2. A post Mortem would take place
3. An inquest would be opened Because Mr Connor died as a result of an accident
4. THe coroner would have to sign and out of Country Order to allow the body to be moved from England to Ireland (even to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland which at present are still in the UK)
5. The Funeral Director would have to make arrangements with an airline to transport the body. (The budget airlines dont normally do this) Besides it take a couple of days to organise with BA, BM or Aer Lingus


To be fair I slated EE over its speedy deaths so its only but fair I point out the inaccuracies in the Award winng Coronation Street

In countries abroad the funeral takes place the next day, which I think is much better than having to wait a week.

Now this is a soap we're talking about and things aren't meant to be 100% accurate, it would be very boring if they were and I believe that Paul's funeral won't be taking place in Ireland until Wednesday. (Shame we don't get to see it, it would of been nice, espec as it is taking place in the lovely country of Ireland) so what I'm getting at here is that Paul could of died on any day of the week and any amount of time could of passed between now and then and to be fair Corrie, or any other heavy scheduled programme haven't really got the time to pay attention to every little detail, so we just have to accept that and at the end of the day it is only "make believe"

Thank you for the information and your wonderful opinion on the matter.:)

A fantastic week last week on the Cobbles and another fantastic start to yet another great week.

Blanche was on form last night and I just loved the emotion on her face in that end scene after Ken/Deirdre made up for the 1000th time, it was so lovely.

I have decided that I would like Liam/Carla as a couple they do look good together and feel sure that Paul would approve. Sorry but have no sympathy for Leanne at the moment but Janice seems a little bit better.
Nice to see young Ryan again and enjoyed the scenes with Steve, somehow though I get the impression that Liam wasn't to happy about Steve giving Ryan that cash. Suppose he was thinking about Paul just then as he was the one who always gave Ryan cash.

Eileen/Lloyd great.

Quite enjoyed the girls nightout in the Italian.

What really annoyed me about yesterdays episode, is that the exam he did was nothing like what it actually is like. They dont just say "Has everyone got an exam paper? Yes? Good. You have a hour, now start". They go through reading all the front out, checking no one has a phone etc. I hate it when they dont do their research hahaha!!

I had to laugh at that teacher when david set his paper alight "now stay calm everyone don't panic!!!"

you'd think the whole room was on fire the way she was going on

That doesn't always happen. I have occasionally witnessed an invigilation recently and there have been no requests for phones to be turned off (I think the students have got the message by now!). It also depends what exams they are taking - for example you'll have several different exams of differing times taken in the same room (they all start at the same time, but some leave earlier than others).

As for burning an exam paper, well I don't think the teacher sees that every day and was unsure about what to do. It's a bit more unorthadox than a fire alarm going off for example.

I thought it was brilliant when David set his exam paper on fire, i reckon there will be at least one person in the country who sets fire to the exam papers and they will look for lighters.
