That's exactly what i thought. But I think he is going to try and prove that Carla was having the affair with Peter when the "alleged" rape took place and she was just accusing him as a way of getting out of their relationship...or something like that.Quote:

Hayley even doubted Becky's innocent she should be mad as hell at Tracey ok maybe not hit but at least give her a verbal tongue lashing and Kylie would be feisty enough to hit Tracey I guess I just wanna see Tracey get a smack I could do it if I was allowed :pQuote:

Peter and Carla's affair coming out at the trial of course will help Frank as it shows Carla as kinda promiscuous sleeps with married men etc and she did jump in bed not too long after being raped with Peter not that should get Frank off though
She wasn't even the best actress in CorrieQuote:

Milton and Sylvia are a great comedy duo, although he's probably got a dark secret :D
Watch this space if you think Steve is softening to Traceyluv. If you havent already read the spoilers then you are in for a surprise when Owen arrives at No.13Quote:

Stella really wants justice for Carla but will she feel the same now the affair is out
What makes you think Steve will get back with Traceyluv.
Stellarrrrrrrgggghhhhh thinks she is Mother Teresa and the shoulder for everyone to cry on. She has only arrived and she thinks she is the street's agony aunt.
Steve will always be her b*tch :pQuote:

oh and another thing, its a rape trial, surely they would have been designated separate entrances and not able to have a chat on the steps of the court!

I think you are right, even though Frank is on bail, there should have been a mechanism for getting the witnesses to arrive separately, and stay separate?Quote:

That's what defence lawyers are for. Of course, in the end Peter's evidence was turned on him by Frank somehow knowing that when his mother passed Leanne the envelope she would stand up in court and shout out from the gallery...hmmm...Quote:

If the prosecution lawyer is any good he will draw attention to this in his summing up. No, I think Maria's evidence is actually helpful.
I have to say Franks Barrister was pretty ruthless!! I think her speeches were pretty accurate. I think it was helpful for Carla as well as with any evidence its the defences job to turn it on its head.
Leanne could have just walked out with them If I was the prosecution, I would be going to see Mrs Barlow and asking her why she suddenly shouted. If shetells how she got the photo, it would not go down well for Frank.Quote:

Yes, that's exactly the point I was making. How did Frank know what her reaction would be? She could have just walked out without the histrionics, then what would have happened?Quote:

Great acting from Jane as Leanne tonight as usual
Poor little Simon I wanted to hug him
Did Leanne call Stella "Mum" for the first time or have I missed that in a previous episode?
all in all a very good ep of cs. jane and chris were excellent. janes perfromance was outstanding. most people won't agree but for me the only down side was curly simon. ott. not really a fan. to be fair on this occasion not really his fault, poor writing, sadly the end spoilt a very good ep.
watching thurs excellent ep of coronation st i noticed the gulf between the good and the bad. on one side you have the creme da la creme, the superb carla, leanne and chris. and on the other side you have brian, fiz, dev, tracey, simon and sean. The latest character of brian is truly awful, a updated version of reg holdsworth who i could not bare. when corrie gets its comedy right it is simply the best, but when it goes ott with the likes of brian and julie it is laughable. remember the et ep. awful. i think corrie needs the excellent daran little back. hes done wonders in that other southern soap. and we have sean returning soon, could he not stay in the jungle along with wallace and gromit :D
A very good episode especially Leanne and Peter
I thought it was a a great episode. Jane Danson breaks my heart when shes upset! shes a great actress.
I thought that, i can remember another time when Leanne has called Stella mum. Unless ive missed it as well.
Watching Jane Danson last night I thought supposing this part was being played by Kate Ford.......
I think that was the first time and also has Simon been calling Leanne mum for a while? It was heartbreaking seeing the little fella Alex Bain is a great little actorQuote:

So much for Peter putting Simon first I hope Leanne comes back soon and goes for custody
They can't give her anything too diifficultQuote:
