Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Where was Lloyd taken to? It should have taken him a few days to get back, not a few weeks.

If he's getting that much air space, I'm expecting Deirdre getting it for 6 months-and quite rightly so! Alya is really starting to get on my nerves now-although she seems to be the only one acting like she really is grieving..the rest of the family haven't shed a tear..But as said-too long now.
T-shirt episode was totally ridiculous..and oh my god, fiz is back!

Glad to see Lloyd though..

I think some times the amount of air
space a character gets after the initial
scenes of death & funeral depends
not on their importance or popularity
but on what other story lines are in
the offing.

So some stories are padded out and
others cut short. Hope you aren't
disappointed with what happens after
Dierdres death is shown. She was one
of my favourites too.

The difference between Kal & Dierdres
stories is that in one case the actress died
( leaving a family).and in the other the actor
is still alive!
When two characters died recently close
together in EE - the amount if air space
differed. The situation re actors was similar.

I do think.is was a good idea to.show a
Muslim funeral tho- even if all time aspects
werent totally accurate.!

Ok, so Alya is grieving, why couldn't she just smash a plate, why did she have to have sex.

I think its part of their stereotypical view of
female characters - no.interest in careers/
In relationships either doormats or harridans
etc.
Male characters dont often get a positive
portrayal.either.

The thinking that goes into creating soap stories
- seems stuck in.a time warp. Probably
why we get so many re- hashed storylines.

Interesting to see now, will she be pregnant with Jason's child next??

I hope not. Sick of pregnancy storylines in soaps over the last year. Faye's was particularly unbearable, except for the birth episodes which were surprisingly good.
