As if all she did Becky would plead guilty and accept 12 years in prison as a police woman, why no trial for her and Costello shown on screen
Justice comes quick in Weatherfield sometimes. A few days ago Becky the dead peeler was walking about, kidnapping, visiting senior officers apparently free as a bird. Nobody attempted to arrest her. Even Kit the Twit didn't know she was a fugitive. All of a sudden Betsy Boo visits her and she pleads guilty to some previously undiscussed crime gets convicted and sentenced to 12 yrs. No probation reports, no victim impact statements. Locked up key thrown away all over the weekend without even a court appearance. Justice is rapid in Starmers Britain
I'm sorry to have to correct you alan, but I think you will find it is justice in ITV's Coronation Street and has nothing whatsoever to do with Starmer's Britain.Quote:

Becky was undercover in the Curtis gang to get them sent down, so it cannot have been that. When Becky "died" to escape the Curtises I thought officers more senior than Costello were in on the plot. None of it ever made any sense. It seems to be the way in Soaps nowadays, where they just hint at things without ever fully explaining what is going on, or ever taking the time and effort to work out a credible story. Then when they have dragged it out long enough, simply wrap it up quickly and hope we will be happy about it.Quote:

As far as I can see it wasn't investigated at all apart from a ridiculously superficial preemptive interview with Debbie.Quote:

Never have so many people been driving at speed through the night without looking at the road ahead. All of them kept turning away to talking (or shout) at their passengers. Even when they did look at the road ahead none of them noticed the stationary headlights of the first two cars to crash, but simply ploughed on into them. The police seem to have paid no attention to Kevin saying Carl was driving.Quote:

But when John and Aaron left it was still daylight, then we saw them driving up a long incline, as the sun was setting, like they were crossing the moors, then driving on into the darkness of the night, as if it was a much longer journey.
from my memory carla stopped billy and his bus driving into beckys crashed car which he would have seen and then he swerved and flipped, carl crashed afterwardsQuote:

On a similar theme with Debbie, she is now doing all she can to protect Carl - mother's instinct - but before it became a "thing", she wasn't seen as so supportive, especially at the time of Kevin and Abi's break up.
It's a good thing the scriptwriters are so flexible to fit in with the needs of the producer's whims!
I have rewatched several times, and cannot tell what it was that Carl crashed into. Presumably it was the bus which is why Debbie is charged with killing Billy. But it was not the crash that killed him it was the fire, and the van had crashed before Carl's car hit it, so cannot see how Deebbie could solely be held responsible for his death. Was Debbie breathalysed at the scene, she was up and walking so should not have needed blood tests at the hospital.Quote:

She's missing Frankie, who at one time she couldn't bear to be without, but now she's never with him.Quote:
