Maybe it is me but I didnt think he wasnt too cut about giving Simon to Leanne and trying to get him back until Nick came on the scene

good introduction to rob on the cobbles. hes going to stir things up. :)
Quote of the week award goes to Mary...
"It was something of a marathon session I am affraid I mated your husband twice".
no me too - Peter happily handed Simon over - on the basis that when Simon lived with him he hardly stayed at the flat overnight anyway (Simon)...
I didnt see Peter do the morning or afternon school run too often?
so Leanne can happily have Simon, but not with Nick!!?
I think Mary started this to try and make Norris jealous, but is genuinely enjoying Roy's company. Her heart only belongs to Norris!
Now that Peter is back on the drink again he is acting more pathetic and deluded than before,did he really think Leanne would actually even consider getting back together with him.The only relationship he deserves just now is with a bottle of whisky.
you know what I love about this room is how different members view characters. I'm a Leanne/Peter fan. Yes Peter won't win any Daddy of the year award and some posts are right that he didn't put up much of a fight for Simon, but I think the thought of not bringing up Simon has hit him yet. it showed on Thursday night's show how lost Peter is without Leanne and on Friday when Ken/Leanne came back from the mortuary how Leanne still loves Peter. Peter & Carla may be away from the cobbles for four months but the writers will be busy writing away to bring Peter & Leanne back together again.
Marcus and Kirk can certainly put food away! Marcus cooked enough for a family of six but it all went. And neither of them are what you might call obese!
if they are reunited peter will be settling for second best. thats life, many people do settle for less and made do for the sake of the children.
im sure your right and the writers will bring back together leanne and peter. personally carla is better off without him. :)
superb perfomances from ali king, jane danson and chis gascoyne. however the gulf between the excellent actors and the not so good is getting wider. in soap you always get this, but for some reason in cs this tends to be more noticeable.
:D :D :D oh Norman you make me laugh. But it's true in corrie some cast members are miles ahead in their acting abilities than others. Especially with the Peter/Leanne story. Chris & Jane are miles better than Alison and I still think that it has a lot to do with how the actors get on with each other. I do feel kind of sorry for Nick we know he's going to get his heart ripped out and squashed onto the cobbles. He knows Leanne still loves Peter everyone does apart for Peter & Leanne.
although you were jesting, you do have a point, not about ee but about emmerdale, they have the best ensemble of actors in any soap and although they dont have the highs and lows of the other two, they are consistantly good. there is less of a gulf in the dales.
I thought Carla would tell Leanne she heard from Peter
I think it is safe to say Nick is going to get dumped by the end look on Leanne's face
Very emotional episode last night, somehow I think Carla is happy Simon stayed with Leanne and she has Peter all to herself now
Finally Peter and Carla have done the right thing and left,they definately won't be missed.
I will. I liked both of them myself. Prefer them to sour face Leanne and wooden Nick any time.
Won't miss Carla one bit. She is as wooden as a thunderbird puppet. She even looks like the Hood
oh please! :angry:
I think the writers messed up Peter and Carla temporary exits very lazy writing could have been much better imo
Not a big fan of Carla tbh but she isnt the worst character
I like Peter as Chris is an excellent actor
Kirk thinking Marcus was coming onto him wasnt one bit funny which is a shame as Kirk used to be a great comedic character
Did Maria and Jason date before?
I never thought I would ever say it but I'm liking the storyline with Mary and Roy,some of the lines she comes out with are quite funny and so too are some of Roy's replys.
Two of the best comic actors in soapland, an inspired plotline and some good writing - more of the same please, because it's a blessed relief from Leanne's fishwifery and the whole Barlow saga!
Loving someone else's children is a very difficult thing. You want to believe that you can be fair and love the child simply because it's part of your partner's life and you love your partner. The reality is very different. My step children were just not the same as my own children and their children were not the same as my own grandchildren.While I was married to that man we actually spent much more time with the step kids than with my kids. When that marriage failed I have yet to hear from any of them again. The bond is not the same. Carla isn't attached to Simon, he has acted like what he is, a child. Wanting his own way and doing whatever he could to get it. It's not reasonable to expect any real depth of feeling between Carla and Simon. Children always resist change of any kind and especially a change that interrupts the life they are used to living. The most unbelievable part of this whole story line was that Leanne would be given custody of Simon when she had been his "Mother" for such a short period of time. Basing a relationship on the needs of a child never works out good in the end. Peter is irresponsible in more than just his drinking, expecting any other reaction from a child doesn't make any sense. One minute Leanne is there as the Mother figure and 5 minutes later Carla is moved in. There was no effort made to introduce another Mother substitute. Just, here's my new flame, she's your Mother now, accept it.
