Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I loved Peter in the pub last night as well! I don't like how Ken appears to be ashamed about his 'old' family, especially as the new branch of the Barlows look like they've got their own issues.

We all knew what was going to happen with Molly's birth but it still made me giggle in parts; Kevin's face throughout was a picture and Tyrone's comedy scuffle with the white van man was funny! I wonder how long it'll be before it's revealed whether Molly's baby is a Dobbs or a Webster?

It probably won't be revealed for a while, but from the look on Kevin's face when he saw the baby, he won't be able to help himself in taking an interest in it.

Jimmi Harkishin, who plays Dev, is a terrible actor - his cringeworthy acting has completely spoilt the recent child abuse storyline for me. I'd even go so far as to say he's worse than Helen Flanagan (Rosie), who at least makes me laugh. I hope (probably in vain) that he's killed off in the upcoming tram crash episodes.

Lovely scenes between Ken and his grandson - that's what I call acting.

Dev needs to go back to being funny, he is not suited for serious stuff, I agree. Hopefully with the current storyline finished, we can have a giggle again

[LostVoodoo]

when Dev is being serious he acts like he's in some sort of Shakesperean thesp playing in a theatre rather on TV, its so ridiculous!

You're right, it probably won't be for a while..I just hope they don't drag it out for too long!

I agree that Dev is great when he's funny! I much prefer him and Sunita when they're having a funny tiff or attempting to handle the twins.

I'm kind of disappointed that Natasha didn't die, even though it would have been tragic. I wanted to see the smug smile wiped off vindictive Gail's face. I hope she gets what's coming to her for looking in the medical records.

Rachel Leskovac must be a pretty good actress because, although Natasha has lied for months, I still feel sorry for her.

I was surprised Audrey fired her in the way that she did - she could at least have offered Natasha a good reference as she's been a good employee.

[Katy]

Yeah and me! i think that she smashed it in fridays episodes! brilliant acting, even ben price was convincing. I think thats its easier to like natasha as gail and the rest of the platts are just so unlikeable.

I even thought the sophie and sian stuff.

I think you've got it in one there. The last couple of episodes have been a war between Natasha and Gail (Nick was only on the sidelines, really), and Natasha is a far more sympathetic character than Gail, despite her faults.
