I would love to have seen that. I am going to apply to Corrie on your behalf for a job as story editor, your ideas seems much better than what was served up to us last night.

I think that episode was one of - if not the - worst written Corrie episodes ever. I just wonder how much they pay those work experience teenagers to come up with this nonsense.

I agree this episode was abysmal, but I not sure about using teenagers, surely they would have had a better idea of a party than this offering?

Perhaps I just assumed it was meant to be LSD because Nina said it was a hallucinogenic. I do not think GHB is a hallucinogenic, it is a depressant, often used as a date rape drug. Which did seem to fit what we saw in the episode. The more I think about it, this was a very poorly researched and executed tale. Summer, Nina and Aadi three of the more serious young characters, all decide to take a drug, not knowing what it is, or what the correct dosage should be. No I just do not see it happening. Did they use it all between the three of them? They never showed the empty bottle, but neither did we see what happened to it if there was still some left.

LSD is sold in liquid form. But maybe it's PCP?

Yes, true enough.

PCP has never been a common drug in the UK. Back in the day LSD was usually taken in very small doses usually measured out with an eye dropper. If that was so in this case, the amount Brody had would be worth a fortune. But regardless of what it was, would three otherwise sensible young people take a drug they acquired by chance from an unreliable source without knowing what it was, or how strong it was. I certainly would not, mind you saying that I have known people who would. This episode was obviously written by people who have no idea of the drug scene.

I'm an old hippie & back in the day, LSD was something I really enjoyed (but I never took any in the 80s, didn't trust what was in it). Yes, there are 'dumb kids' out there who will take anything to get high, but I'm surprised that Nina took/drank any of it.

This badly written tale was not so much about drugs but was a vehicle for Brody to find out Kit was his father.

I remember once I went to visit some friends, after I had been there for a few hours, someone emerged from a wardrobe, where he had been all the time I was there (presumably asleep). I later learned he had taken some drug made from Datura, a highly poisonous hallucinogenic plant. As you say "dumb kid", but the "Corrie Three" are not like this.
