Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

I have never heard that you are born gay. ... I also do not believe it. I can imagine that some that are abused and mistreated by their heterosexual partners leave them and then turn to same sex partners. Maybe that is what Carla is experiencing... all her male partners let her down so maybe she thinks she is safer with a female partner???

While the causes of homosexuality have not been definitively explained, there is overwhelming evidence of a biological basis for sexual orientation that is programmed into the brain before birth based on a mix of genetics and prenatal conditions, none of which the fetus chooses.

It is highly unlikely that someone, who up till now has shown nothing but strong heterosexual tendencies like Carla, would suddenly become gay.

I did not know that .. I agree, Carla has never shown any signs so why are they going down this line now?

[Perdita]

Sex sells, I guess and of course, we have not seen a lesbian relationship for a while...

I hear Kiddiecop is returning to Walford. Couldn't they transfer her up to Weatherfield? She'd have this sorted in no time.

Back in the day when Parkerman and I were writing fantasy storylines about the soaps we could never have imagined that the luvvies would have taken our ideas on board and expanded them. Quelle surprise!!!

I thought the Joel, Kit, Lisa saga couldn't get any more preposterous but sadly I was proved wrong.

Kit the Detective Constable arrests Lisa the Detective Sergeant who is somewhat the worse for drink. He arrests her in a pub for Murder. That is far fetched enough. Then he takes her the Waetherfield Nick where he the lowly D/C interviews her in the presence of a non speaking peeler from Professional Standards. Who was the police advisor for this pile of poo. PC Big Ears?? Im just shocked that he didn't bring in PC Tinker of the yard.

Yes I know it's only a soap but surely it should have some semblance of reality and not insult our intelligence. I expect super lawyer Anya to return from the Emerald Isle as a High Court judge and deal with the case. Just a pity Marcus Christie isn't around when you need him.

The way Corrie is going I fully expect "Our Paul" to return as Billy gets out of the shower some morning.

Confused???? Yes you will be after this weeks episodes of Carry on Weatherfield!!!

Constables do not investigate murders...end of
Sergeants do deal with domestic murders where the offenders are immediately known
Inspectors or above deal with undetected murders

Perhaps Greater Manchester Police, the 3rd biggest force in the country don't have enough inspectors.

It is virtually the same line they went down it Emmerdale with Charity and Vanessa, altho' I found this hard to believe, I think it was a better fit with your theory that victims of abuse might turn to a same sex relationship.

I have known and worked with many gay people and not one of them ever told me they chose to be gay.

[Son of Cain]

Any more twists to come? Or is this the end of the who killed Joel mystery? I still think Kit is involved somehow.

After tonight, one thing we can be absolutely 100% certain of and that is that Max did not kill Joel.
