Here is my essay on last nights Corrie

Wonderful episodes which kept me gripped all the way through.
Sean Gallagher was superb and Ijust loved him portraying Paul's unhinged and psychotic side he was so funny, not to mention extra sexy. We had some lovely blue eyes shots again "Swoon" It is a real shame that Sean has quit as there would/could of been some really juicy and big storylines following all this for months to come for him.
I will miss Paul but hope that Sean finds what he is looking for as he really is a fantastic actor especially in the "Psychotic and unpredictable" role.
Liam has grown on me so much over the past couple of months or so and the character (and actor) has come along way since he first appeared. I can see Liam taking the reins of the Connor family now and filling the gap left by brother Paul with some real battles with Carla. (Liam has already picked up some of those wonderful facial expressions from Paul i.e the tongue popping out of the mouth and licking the lips. I really loved it when Paul used to bite down on his bottom lip followed by one of his tongue movements, he would either touch his top lip with it,stick it out of the side or curl it onto the bottom lip, we even had a cheeky tongue roll back into the mouth at times!!
Carla (Alison) like Liam has and is really growing on me. We really saw what a bitch she is last night and during Sunday's episode. From what she said to Michelle about never wanting to be part of the family it gave me the impression that she never loved Paul only his wallet. I can see Carla and the Connor's going up against one another now that Paul has gone epescially as she will get all of Paul's dosh now!
There have been moments during the past three episodes where I have hated Carla for the names she called Paul but on the other hand you can understand why. It is nice to actually see some emotion coming through from her now. Also she has Paul's sense of humour, some lovely commets from her:

"If he's not in enough pain then we can pull his tubes out" Alison/Carla as I suspected is really coming into her own now as is Liam.

I'm glad that we got to see one final scene between Ryan and Paul, a really lovely one, which reminds me why hasn't anyone told Ryan about Paul's crash?

So whose to blame for the tragedy:
Carla for breaking Paul's heart and telling him their marriage is over which finally pushed him over the edge.

Leanne for not being honest about what she really does.

Liam for making that final call to Paul on his mobile which caused him to crash.

Then Paul has to take some of the blame as he was driving under the influence, he undid his seat belt whilst reaching for his mobile during which he didn't see the red light and crashed..

The crash was excellently done and very dramtic with more than one factor contributing to it. Only Corrie can knock out something so spectacular.

Deirdre/Ken scenareo wearing a bit thin. I defintely prefer Ken on his own.

David a little bugger as usual.

Liz/Derek now I quite liked Derek but now I'm not so sure and after seeing Derek/Liz/Vernon/Linda all together the other night it made me see Liz/Vernon in a different light..I actually like the two of them together now. Vern has grown on me! He would make a great hubby for liz
Steve great as usual although I think he is being a bit self centred at the moment with wanting to be alone with Michelle when there are more pressing things happening..

Very sad but fantastic viewing. Wednesday will be a very emotional episode, as will the aftermath both of which I am looking very much forward too.

I am gutted at the loss of such a great character whom we were only just starting to get to know, there was huge potential here. Still it's great for Sean as he really has gone out on a high.

P.S Sean/Paul fans one good thing to come out of this, is that we finally get to see that lovely body

P.S LOL! Richie/Crazylea - That's not really Paul laying in that bed or in the car it is his stunt double. We have eloped on that Police motorcycle

Here is my essay on last nights Corrie

Wonderful episodes which kept me gripped all the way through. Me too

Liam has grown on me so much over the past couple of months or so and the character (and actor) has come along way since he first appeared. I can see Liam taking the reins of the Connor family now and filling the gap left by brother Paul I just hope he manages to stick with Leeanne. They were a great couplewith some real battles with Carla. Yes the blame game should be fun(Liam has already picked up some of those wonderful facial expressions from Paul i.e the tongue popping out of the mouth and licking the lips. I really loved it when Paul used to bite down on his bottom lip followed by one of his tongue movements, he would either touch his top lip with it,stick it out of the side or curl it onto the bottom lip, we even had a cheeky tongue roll back into the mouth at times!!
Carla (Alison) like Liam has and is really growing on me. You will forgive me for not paying as much attention as you to his facial nuancesWe really saw what a bitch she is last night and during Sunday's episode. From what she said to Michelle about never wanting to be part of the family it gave me the impression that she never loved Paul only his wallet. I can see Carla and the Connor's going up against one another now that Paul has gone epescially as she will get all of Paul's dosh now!

"If he's not in enough pain then we can pull his tubes out" Alison/Carla as I suspected is really coming into her own now as is Liam.I can seee battles ahead regarding the knicker empire. At least the company expenses for PROfessional SEXreterial Services should be well down. It will be interesting to see who she foirst ends up in bed with, probably Liam, maybe Steve or perhaps even the suave corner shop entreprenaur Mr Devvvvvvvvv Alaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Think Roy Doris and Vermin are safe

I'm glad that we got to see one final scene between Ryan and Paul, a really lovely one, which reminds me why hasn't anyone told Ryan about Paul's crash?Awwwwwwwwww you are sentimental

So whose to blame for the tragedy:
Carla for breaking Paul's heart and telling him their marriage is over which finally pushed him over the edge.

Leanne for not being honest about what she really does.

Liam for making that final call to Paul on his mobile which caused him to crash.

Then Paul has to take some of the blame as he was driving under the influence, he undid his seat belt whilst reaching for his mobile during which he didn't see the red light and crashed..

The crash was excellently done and very dramtic with more than one factor contributing to it. Only Corrie can knock out something so spectacular.He was the architect of his own downfall. You would think a rich succesful businessman with a 40 grand motor could afford blutooth

Deirdre/Ken scenareo wearing a bit thin. I defintely prefer Ken on his own.Yes Drearys neck starting to annoy me. Its not so long ago when she was the street bike. Its a bit much her gurning about Ken going to stay with the mother of his kid. After all he looked after Traceyluv for long enough

David a little bugger as usual.Damian Platt the devil pesonified, spawn of Satan. Brilliant

Liz/Derek now I quite liked Derek but now I'm not so sure and after seeing Derek/Liz/Vernon/Linda all together the other night it made me see Liz/Vernon in a different light..I actually like the two of them together now. Vern has grown on me! He would make a great hubby for liz No lets not get carried away here. Vernon is only slightly less sleazy than Derek. Liz proved what a real slapper she is. Bring back Big Jim. This is a timebomb waiting to explode.
Steve great as usual although I think he is being a bit self centred at the moment with wanting to be alone with Michelle when there are more pressing things happening..I dont blame him I wouldnt mind being alone with Michelle. Kym Ryder (unfortunate name) is doing really well now

Very sad but fantastic viewing. Wednesday will be a very emotional episode, as will the aftermath both of which I am looking very much forward too.Just like 10 million others

I am gutted at the loss of such a great character whom we were only just starting to get to know, there was huge potential here. Still it's great for Sean as he really has gone out on a high.

P.S Sean/Paul fans one good thing to come out of this, is that we finally get to see that lovely body Suppose you want a special late night showing of him NAKED on the mortuary slab

P.S LOL! Richie/Crazylea - That's not really Paul laying in that bed or in the car it is his stunt double. We have eloped on that Police motorcycleI know you will be very happ together

Welcome back Babe I have missed your wonderful essays.

[Babe14]

Aww Al you are lovely. I didn't know I was being missed so much I'm just trying not to post too much and concentrate on other things.

I have to admit I do get a bit involved with my programmes and there isn't much I don't notcie! My probem is once I get the bit between my teeth I can't stop , espec if I am enjoying something or someone!

Corrie really has me gripped at the moment, things look as though they are going to be a bit on the quiet side in the coming weeks but things still look very good.

I can't praise Corrie or the writers or the producers enough for the excellence they are churning out right now, not forgetting the superb acting.

Enjoyed reading your comments, complete as always with humour in the above.

P.S As for who Carla will bed first I would say definitely Liam, but think it will be a one off comfort thing following on from the revelations about Leanne and Paul's death

Speaking of which, there was an error in the script last night when Carla told Liam/Michelle and Steve that Paul was Leanne's no1 customer, this is incorrect as he was mine

[parkerman]

Thats obviously why it the UKs best SOAP

I can't really add to the excellent posts by Babe and alan, except to agree with the above comment by alan. When you compare the writing, production and acting of Corrie to Eastenders...well, there is no comparison.

[Richie_lecturer]

Derek was only looking for his gnomes, with Mavis's permission. I'm sure Liz would understand if he just told her.

[Babe14]

What a heartbreaker most of which I was watching through tears, espec when Michelle started.

Well done Corrie and espec well done to the lovely Sean for making a character have such an effect on me. I really hope Sean finds what he is looking for, he will be missed

Liam he blew my socks off once again, infact he blew them right into orbit and back, he was fantastic and there will be no problem with him filling the gap left by Paul. When Liam was throwing Leanne out of his house I thought that Paul was back, that was so Paul. I'm hoping that some of Paul's charactistics will start to come through Liam now, that he will become a bit of a ruthless b/d, that his character will become a bit darker and he will go off the rails slightly in the aftermath of Paul's death.

It was lovely to see Carla in bits and I so loved the final Paul/Carla scenes, I just knew that she loved him really I wa so jealous after Paul had died and Carla(aAlison) had her head on his lovely body I would of given anything to be her right then Also I liked the way she went hysterical and started shouting at Paul after he was covered with the sheet.
Corrie did a great job in following Paul's crash through, from the rescue to the casualty like hospital corridor scene on admisson complete with details, to Paul's passing away, untubed (Naked "Drool") and covered with a sheet and kept the whole thing interesting and didn't turn it into a "Boring" hospital scene.
Loved Steve persauding Michelle to go to Paul he was so lovely. Michelle should never of left the hospital, no matter what, when her brother was at death's door, still now she is the one who will have to live with the "guilt"
I again filled up when the Connors arrived back on the street and Ryan was playing footie in the street and Michelle was in tears and told him she had something to tell him. This is an ideal opportunity to use Ryan more and give him a storyline in the aftermath i.e he could become a bit Damienish for a bit.

Leanne I feel sorry for as this time she is innocent but she has to take her fair share of the blame for Paul's death, she should of been upfront. However it was actually brother Liam who killed his brother,something he will never know as it is only us the viewers who know about that fatal phone call...
I have notcied that it is not only Liam who is becoming Paulish but Carla also as she is hitting the bottle just like Paul used to when the going got tough.
If both Liam and Carla's characters were to become darker with Liam being a ruthless b/d and Carla the bitch from hell then we could have some real fireworks between these two.

Kelly I absolutely hate now she was such a heartless, insensitive b****! I cannot wait for

Spoiler:

Janice to smack her one and I am no Janice fan either, but I will love her for this

Excellent once again. Corrie and it's twin are positively glowing this week.

[parkerman]

Leanne I feel sorry for as this time she is innocent but she has to take her fair share of the blame for Paul's death, she should HAVE been upfront. However it was actually brother Liam who killed his brother,something he will never know as it is only us the viewers who know about that fatal phone call...

A great summary, Babe, but I have to disagree with you about whose fault it was. Paul has no-one to blame but himself. He got himself in to the situation in the first place by his actions over the years and, as he was driving, he should have just let the phone ring and not try to answer it. You can't lay any of the blame on Liam. Also, I have no sympathy at all for Leanne after what she did to Liam.

Thanks O.K I agree Liam can't really be to blame but it is just what I think we were suppose to think for if Paul's mobile hadn't of rung he may well of never crashed. Liam along with Ryan was the only one who never turned his back on Paul no matter what he did or had done. I agree Paul should of ignored it but he wasn't thinking straight he had flipped out and perhaps he thought it may of been Carla?? Again I agree about Leanne she lied to Liam but everyone thinks that she slept with Paul but she never did.

Paul was in the wrong he shouldn't of been driving under the influence and would of thought he would of learnt the hard way on that one, he shouldn't of been using escorts when he was suppose to be happily married and he had without a doubt psychological problems following Dean's death and this is where I feel things started to go badly wrong for him. The Escort business I think was Paul's escape from "reality" for a bit, somewhere he could go and talk without being judged, critised or any arguing, but at the same time I can't help thinking he got a kick out of sleeping with "Escorts" for at the end of the day Paul did have this darkness within him, which of course made him the fantastic character he was.

Unfortunately I have to agree Paul did at the end of the day contribute greatly towards his own fate but there were a lot of factors contributing to this which caused him to totally flip out and self destruct.

Just something I notcied Paul had been in surgery all night,so where were all the stitches and tape??

[Abbie]

I thought it was a good episode last night, I cried when paul died but it wasnt because of paul's death as such cos I didnt like him, it was sjust when michelle came in and was crying that got me started.
David is such an idoit,he jumped at the chance he had with gail in that conversation to be able to not do anymore of exams cos of the way she put it
