Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

What i cannot understand is Todd barging in on the funeral to have a go at a man who is burying his wife. Way out of order. It was not an emergency that moment. Plus David did not ask Todd to lie at any stage.

I think learning of Sarah's innocent and Jason's accident which he feels guilty for him leaving for labeling Tony the killer he just wanted to confront David not thinking of David and his kids and the timing as in showing up at Kylie's funeral

He lied to Todd though by allowing the latter to believe Sarah murdered Callum when he questioned him about it.

I can understand Todd being very angry with David because he blamed him for Jason's accident, but I do agree with you he would have waited until after the funeral to confront him. For one thing he's too clever to draw unneeded attention to the web of lies in which he's involved himself and which could send him to prison.

I agree, but Todd is very hot headed and stubborn and he doesn't let anything get in his way. He basically didn't think it through. Right then and there he was upset about Jason, and felt guilty for being indirectly responsible for his accident, and the whole Sarah thing too, so when he heard who really did it he got so angry that he just couldn't let it be. I'm not excusing his behavior btw, it was wrong. But at the same time, considering everything and considering how Todd is, I understand why he behaved the way that he did.

Brilliant scenes between Todd and Sarah tonight.

Poor David's losing his mind with grief - and who can blame him? :(

I was just gonna say I loved the Todd and Sarah scenes. They are still so important to each other, and I believe they still love each other in some way. I'm happy Sarah actually said out loud that Todd is her best friend that was a lovely scene. Great acting from Bruno Langley and Tina O'Brien too, especially Bruno who cried. It was truly heartbreaking. I almost started crying too. However, if there is one pet peeve I have about it, it's that they barely mentioned Billy. I know it was basically about Callum, and not Billy, but I wanted her to find out another way than to watch Billy caress Todd at the funeral. I was fine with Sean finding out that way but I wanted Sarah to find out by Todd actually saying it to her, like them having a heart to heart and Todd saying he's with Billy and how special Billy is to him. It was just lame that ONE caress at a funeral lead to EVERYONE knowing, ugh.

I'm not sure anyone else noticed that but Sean since they were standing apart from everyone else and it was quite subtle. I did however wonder how Sarah know about Todd and Billy.

After Sean witnessed it the whole street knows as news travels fast

I wonder if it's something he'd broadcast though?

A lot of people were against Todd and Daniel getting together but the couple appears to be more or less accepted now, and that's in no small part down to the actors playing their budding relationship convincingly.

I particularly admire Bruno Langley and what you call "phoning it in" I call subtlety. Bruno can convey Todd's emotions without over-the-top shouting or face pulling unlike many actors.

However, acting ability is subjective so people have widely different opinions of talent. Even Meryl Streep isn't universally applauded! :eek:

(By the way, I don't think discussions of acting ability - or lack thereof - of the Corrie cast is off topic for this thread. :))

I agree both Daniel and Bruno are excellent in their roles and both good actors imo. I may get beaten up by Robron fans, but I find Daniel and Bruno's performance far more convincing and realistic than that of Danny Millers and Ryan Hawley's in Emmerdale. You get the impression Danny is rather uncomfortable in the intimate scenes and it shows.

Excellent scenes with Todd and Sarah and the end scene with David at the graveside was powerful, only slightly spoilt by his bad boy Damien look at the end.
