Current Episode Discussion V

[Marie Atkinson]

Once Martin and Sonia leave there will only be seven characters left from pre-2000. That is shocking. If you took the seven longest serving stars in Corrie you would still only get as near as 1974!

Actually its 9

Ian
Pat
Dot
Phil
Peggy
Lucy
Peter
Jim
Billy

Phil and Peggy haven't been continous - and wasn't there a different Peggy? Not since I have been watching, but it seems as though there was a discussion aobut a different actress playing Peggy.

Also, isn't there a new actor playing Peter in the past few months?

Quite a boring episode tonight, really!

I like Darren, he's so immature. How he'd think that Li would be interested in him, I don't know. I felt really sorry for him.

I am cringing at Stacey at the moment. I hate the nice as pie attitude towards Tanya. It kind of makes you sick doesn't it?! And Max is really annoying me. But I love the storyline!

So sad for Martin at the end of the episode.

Correct about Peter but I don't count the kids just yet. If Ian left, they would probably go with him.

Jo Warne played Peggy on several brief occasions between 1991-3, and was very good. Then Panto Babs took over full-time in 1994.

As for tonight, another contrived storyline with Sonia and Martin's mobile phone. So predictable.

Don't even get me started on the Darren/Li stuff. Dreadful.

The only good thing tonight was Dot. She was excellent.

Oh, the Darren and Li stuff. That was so bad. I cringed for Darren so much.. and not in a good way.

What do you mean by another contrived storyline? Sonia was dreading Martin finding out that she had been at his mother's house, especially now that she knows Rebecca saw her hit her grandmother. She thought Pauline was ringing to tell Martin that she had hit her. In fact, it was simply that Sonia had gotten through to Pauline and she was staying and apologising for her behaviour. It's called plot development.

June Brown was very good tonight. I enjoyed the Fowler/Branning bits, but Darren was unnecessary.

The only thing I was devastated about was Pauline's send-off. The snow hadn't just melted in about 8 hours, the ground was bone dry too! Unbelieveable!

Exactly what i meant before, for the amount that was there when she died, in reality if some of it had melted there would still be some there if not there would be traces of it such as wet floor or a little bit of slushy ice stuff but it didnt look like there had even been snow the night before i bet back in 2000 (when it was the 15th birthday of Easterenders and they sprinkled leaves on the floor) they would have remembered detail like that but practically 7 years on they can't even get that right.

You know everything what goes on yet you still claim never to watch on other forums

Why the lies Richie babe?

[Katy]

i thought that Last night was better. I mean at least Darren and Mickey added a bit of humour and it wasnt just tears and more tears. It was really sad though the phone message. I think rebeccas funny blanking Sonia.

Actually I think you will find I have publicly said that I stopped watching in March, watching only a handful of episodes from that point until November when the beginning of Growler's downfall began. I have been watching ever since, but unless it improves, I shall be turning off again very shortly, probably after the funeral is over, or until the fallout of Pauline's death clears away. No lies at all.
