Why is Liz saying to Deirdre that she has so much to lose if her affair get out? She had alot more to lose than Vernon when she was at it whilst married to Jim and it didn't stop her then. Would Vernon leaving be such a great loss?

Omg how annoying are those new creme egg ads
anyway good episode tonight. Old Dreary seems to be piling on the pounds, did you see her stood in the kitchen?!
Yes she seems to be getting quite broad around the rear and the belly. Maybe she is on steroids or sumthing because her cancer has returnedQuote:

Loved that last bit at the end with Carla and Leanne - two fine actresses :bow:
Yes they are both very good.
I've enjoyed the baby Freddie storyline has well, despite the chopping and changing. Some excellent performances from Sue Cleaver, Julia Haworth and Stephen Arnold.
Yes despite the major changes they have had to make to the Freddie storyline had we not known it would still have been a good storyline. Why though dosent Claire give the local plod 'Caseys' mobile number. After all she used to phone Claire all the time.Quote:

Dunno who I dislike the most Vermin Vomit or Dirty Derek. Anyway mark my words that slapper Liz McDonald is going to come to a sticky end. All we need is Jimbo to get out of the Big House so we do and then Liz will know all about a Big Mac. Do you want fries with that punch on the mouth mucker. Along as she doesnt end up with a Kids Club Meal
well that was cracking, wasn't it!? lol, Carla is fabulous 'is there a bar in here!' and i felt really sorry for Leanne, it looked really scary in that car boot!
Did anyone notice Babe 14 in the background at the hospital?
:rotfl:. I was thinking of Babe when the whole Paul thing was happening :p.
Good episodes, I enjoyed them. Particularly the second one.
I thought that was a really good episode in my honest opinion i am probably the only one but i really dislike Leanne character for some reason.
I am gutted Paul is leaving i loved him and Carla fiery relationship :wub: and i am quite sad it has ended like this,:crying: also when they were in the flat and he was telling Carla how much he loved her he seemed quite scared of losing her.
Carla was great tonight really funny :rotfl: but you could she was hurting.:(
Also Paul seemed like he really loved his wife why is he using escorts
Thats obviously why it the UKs best SOAPQuote:

Here is my essay on last nights Corrie
Wonderful episodes which kept me gripped all the way through.
Sean Gallagher was superb and Ijust loved him portraying Paul's unhinged and psychotic side he was so funny, not to mention extra sexy. :wub: We had some lovely blue eyes shots again "Swoon" :wub: It is a real shame that Sean has quit as there would/could of been some really juicy and big storylines following all this for months to come for him.
I will miss Paul:wub: but hope that Sean finds what he is looking for as he really is a fantastic actor especially in the "Psychotic and unpredictable" role.
Liam has grown on me so much over the past couple of months or so and the character (and actor) has come along way since he first appeared. I can see Liam taking the reins of the Connor family now and filling the gap left by brother Paul with some real battles with Carla. (Liam has already picked up some of those wonderful facial expressions from Paul i.e the tongue popping out of the mouth and licking the lips. I really loved it when Paul used to bite down on his bottom lip followed by one of his tongue movements, he would either touch his top lip with it,stick it out of the side or curl it onto the bottom lip, we even had a cheeky tongue roll back into the mouth at times!!
Carla (Alison) like Liam has and is really growing on me. We really saw what a bitch she is last night and during Sunday's episode. From what she said to Michelle about never wanting to be part of the family it gave me the impression that she never loved Paul only his wallet. I can see Carla and the Connor's going up against one another now that Paul has gone epescially as she will get all of Paul's dosh now!
There have been moments during the past three episodes where I have hated Carla for the names she called Paul but on the other hand you can understand why. It is nice to actually see some emotion coming through from her now. Also she has Paul's sense of humour, some lovely commets from her:
"If he's not in enough pain then we can pull his tubes out":rotfl: Alison/Carla as I suspected is really coming into her own now as is Liam.
I'm glad that we got to see one final scene between Ryan and Paul, a really lovely one, which reminds me why hasn't anyone told Ryan about Paul's crash?
So whose to blame for the tragedy:
Carla for breaking Paul's heart and telling him their marriage is over which finally pushed him over the edge.
Leanne for not being honest about what she really does.
Liam for making that final call to Paul on his mobile which caused him to crash.
Then Paul has to take some of the blame as he was driving under the influence, he undid his seat belt whilst reaching for his mobile during which he didn't see the red light and crashed..
The crash was excellently done and very dramtic with more than one factor contributing to it. Only Corrie can knock out something so spectacular.
Deirdre/Ken scenareo wearing a bit thin. I defintely prefer Ken on his own.
David a little bugger as usual.
Liz/Derek now I quite liked Derek but now I'm not so sure and after seeing Derek/Liz/Vernon/Linda all together the other night it made me see Liz/Vernon in a different light..I actually like the two of them together now. Vern has grown on me! He would make a great hubby for liz:eek:
Steve great as usual although I think he is being a bit self centred at the moment with wanting to be alone with Michelle when there are more pressing things happening..
Very sad but fantastic viewing. Wednesday will be a very emotional episode, as will the aftermath both of which I am looking very much forward too.
I am gutted at the loss of such a great character whom we were only just starting to get to know, there was huge potential here. Still it's great for Sean as he really has gone out on a high.
P.S Sean/Paul fans one good thing to come out of this, is that we finally get to see that lovely body:wub:
P.S LOL! Richie/Crazylea - That's not really Paul laying in that bed or in the car it is his stunt double. We have eloped on that Police motorcycle:rotfl:
Welcome back Babe I have missed your wonderful essays.Quote:

I have to admit I do get a bit involved with my programmes and there isn't much I don't notcie! My probem is once I get the bit between my teeth I can't stop:lol: , espec if I am enjoying something or someone!
Corrie really has me gripped at the moment, things look as though they are going to be a bit on the quiet side in the coming weeks but things still look very good.
I can't praise Corrie or the writers or the producers enough for the excellence they are churning out right now, not forgetting the superb acting.
Enjoyed reading your comments, complete as always with humour in the above.:)
P.S As for who Carla will bed first I would say definitely Liam, but think it will be a one off comfort thing following on from the revelations about Leanne and Paul's death
Speaking of which, there was an error in the script last night when Carla told Liam/Michelle and Steve that Paul was Leanne's no1 customer, this is incorrect as he was mine:rotfl: :wub:
I can't really add to the excellent posts by Babe and alan, except to agree with the above comment by alan. When you compare the writing, production and acting of Corrie to Eastenders...well, there is no comparison.Quote:

What a heartbreaker most of which I was watching through tears, espec when Michelle started.:crying: :crying: :crying:
Well done Corrie and espec well done to the lovely Sean for making a character have such an effect on me. I really hope Sean finds what he is looking for, he will be missed:(
Liam he blew my socks off once again, infact he blew them right into orbit and back, he was fantastic and there will be no problem with him filling the gap left by Paul. When Liam was throwing Leanne out of his house I thought that Paul was back, that was so Paul. I'm hoping that some of Paul's charactistics will start to come through Liam now, that he will become a bit of a ruthless b/d, that his character will become a bit darker and he will go off the rails slightly in the aftermath of Paul's death.
It was lovely to see Carla in bits and I so loved the final Paul/Carla scenes, I just knew that she loved him really:wub: I wa so jealous after Paul had died and Carla(aAlison) had her head on his lovely body:wub: :love: I would of given anything to be her right then:lol: Also I liked the way she went hysterical and started shouting at Paul after he was covered with the sheet.
Corrie did a great job in following Paul's crash through, from the rescue to the casualty like hospital corridor scene on admisson complete with details, to Paul's passing away, untubed (Naked "Drool") and covered with a sheet and kept the whole thing interesting and didn't turn it into a "Boring" hospital scene.
Loved Steve persauding Michelle to go to Paul he was so lovely. Michelle should never of left the hospital, no matter what, when her brother was at death's door, still now she is the one who will have to live with the "guilt"
I again filled up when the Connors arrived back on the street and Ryan was playing footie in the street and Michelle was in tears and told him she had something to tell him. This is an ideal opportunity to use Ryan more and give him a storyline in the aftermath i.e he could become a bit Damienish for a bit.
Leanne I feel sorry for as this time she is innocent but she has to take her fair share of the blame for Paul's death, she should of been upfront. However it was actually brother Liam who killed his brother,something he will never know as it is only us the viewers who know about that fatal phone call...
I have notcied that it is not only Liam who is becoming Paulish but Carla also as she is hitting the bottle just like Paul used to when the going got tough.
If both Liam and Carla's characters were to become darker with Liam being a ruthless b/d and Carla the bitch from hell then we could have some real fireworks between these two.
Kelly I absolutely hate now she was such a heartless, insensitive b****! I cannot wait forSpoiler:
Excellent once again. Corrie and it's twin are positively glowing this week.

Thanks:) O.K I agree Liam can't really be to blame but it is just what I think we were suppose to think for if Paul's mobile hadn't of rung he may well of never crashed. Liam along with Ryan was the only one who never turned his back on Paul no matter what he did or had done. I agree Paul should of ignored it but he wasn't thinking straight he had flipped out and perhaps he thought it may of been Carla?? Again I agree about Leanne she lied to Liam but everyone thinks that she slept with Paul but she never did.Quote:

Paul was in the wrong he shouldn't of been driving under the influence and would of thought he would of learnt the hard way on that one, he shouldn't of been using escorts when he was suppose to be happily married and he had without a doubt psychological problems following Dean's death and this is where I feel things started to go badly wrong for him. The Escort business I think was Paul's escape from "reality" for a bit, somewhere he could go and talk without being judged, critised or any arguing, but at the same time I can't help thinking he got a kick out of sleeping with "Escorts" for at the end of the day Paul did have this darkness within him, which of course made him the fantastic character he was.
Unfortunately I have to agree Paul did at the end of the day contribute greatly towards his own fate but there were a lot of factors contributing to this which caused him to totally flip out and self destruct.
Just something I notcied Paul had been in surgery all night,so where were all the stitches and tape??
I thought it was a good episode last night, I cried when paul died but it wasnt because of paul's death as such cos I didnt like him, it was sjust when michelle came in and was crying that got me started.
David is such an idoit,he jumped at the chance he had with gail in that conversation to be able to not do anymore of exams cos of the way she put it
So long Paul, Sean Gallagher will be missed a great actor and character. A great episode you can see why it won Best Soap. I think Liam/Carla getting together will happen whether as a one night stand or relationship also i hope it brings Carla and Michelle closer as friends i like their friendship. Poor Leanne messed up another relationship and how unlucky for her that Kelly heard. Should be fireworks on the street on Friday when she tells everyone about Leanne's job. :cheer: :cheer:
he really is a plank isnt he. I have never like David. In fact im not that a big fan oif the whole of the Plats.
It was really sad when he died, but for Leanne and Liam, The factory, Carla, and Michelle. What got me was when she went over to Ryan.
Some lovely posts on here and it looks like most of us were in tears last night mainly started off by Michelle (Kym), have to admit Liam got me going too espec in the factory scene.:crying:
Also looks like Paul/Sean was loved by most of us and is going to be greatly missed. I know I will miss him, still I have great expectations for Liam who I am sure is going to bed Carla, as she will him but I feel sure it will be out of grief for Paul and for comfort.
Although I said I feel sorry for Leanne, mainly because this time she is being accused of somthing she didn't do, but I will enjoy her come uppance after waht she has done to the Connors, mainly of course Liam. Again Leanne has torn another family apart, again through lies and betrayal only this time a lot worse, she contributed towards the death of a brother, husband and uncle.
That true but if Paul hadnt been a cheater in the first place then he would of nerv been in the situation in the first placeQuote:
Originally Posted by Babe14

Both Paul and Leanne were doing exactly the same thing at the end of the day, except that one was selling the other was buying and it was very unfortunate for both that they caught one another out. I did love those scenes when it first came about they really were lovely between the two.
They were both in the wrong and must both except the majority of the blame as to where they have now ended up.
With Paul it was all about protecting his family no matter the cost, only this time it cost him his life.
Leanne again the "protection" factor could be applied in the way that she was protecting herself from being hurt because what she was doing there was no attachment, no feelings involved. Unfortunately at the end of the day both Paul and Leanne have self destructed only it has just cost Leanne her happiness with Liam.
I agree - Michelle and Ryan got to me. The factory scene also got me going - I thought Hayley was good, you could tell she just wanted to run up and give Liam a big hug, but was thinking 'is it right to cuddle the boss' ?Quote:

A bad performance from Kym Ryder yesterday, i've been enjoying her up to now but didn't buy any of that crying last night
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:)Quote:

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.Quote:

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 badSpoiler:
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).Quote:

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.
