Agreed. Bethany isn't supposed to be in the least bit stupid which is why she runs rings around the dumbed-down Sarah and Gail.

Everyone's forgotten that little detail, including the scriptwriters. Surely Jack's nearly old enough to go to school anyway? He'll be five in September (although he looks younger).

I liked Sally and Tim's scenes and thought it made a nice change to give the actors something serious to work with. The characters are polar opposite so there's bound to be lots of friction between them. As long as there's still the underlying warmth, I don't mind some ups and downs in their relationship.

I was surprised about that as Steph seems nearer to thirty to me. However, I googled Tisha Merry and she's around 21, so the casting is unusually age appropriate for Corrie in this case.

Didn't Tyrone sell his shares of the garage to Kevin when he needed money to leave Kirsty?

Don't think so. They each own 50% still.

Was it not Molly that was wanting Tyrone to sell his shares?

tyrone needed money to off with fiz after kirsty battered him so he asked kevin was it for his half of garage im not sure

Why does Callum think it's a good idea to be throwing his weight around the gym a few yards from his son's front door? Somebody could turn up at the court to tell them about his behaviour.

so safe to bet callum will make so many enemies no one will care when he is killed off, how is anyone afraid of him, he is about as tough as pee wee herman

Molly probably wanted him to sell his shares as she was having an affair with Kevin. It'd have been less awkward if he sold, which in soapland would explain why he can't have done.

Fiz and Tyrone didn't get very far when they tried to disappear but I can't remember why. Maybe Kevin couldn't come up with the money when Tyrone wanted to sell.

I find him a tad more convincing than his mates and Vincent from EastEnders to be honest. Tony's mates being scared off by Robert too.

Can't believe Roy broke in :eek: I expected him to say that it was breaking and entering.

Yes, Jack will start school in September. As the school year starts in September, he's the oldest in the year and has to be almost five to start (rather than 4 and a bit which is the case for many.) At least they've got that right so far. Over on EastEnders, Amy must have missed more school than she actually attended during her first year and Lily started school at the correct time, but she was later referenced as being at/picked up from nursery!
