Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

The trial was quite boring I thought

I found the trial tense, though I'm pretty sure I know the outcome.

I thoroughly enjoyed last night's episodes - all the threads were cleverly written and well-acted.

Milton and Sylvia are a great comedy duo, although he's probably got a dark secret

Steve seems to be softening towards Tracey it wont be long till he is back in bed with her again his brains are defo in his pants

Watch this space if you think Steve is softening to Traceyluv. If you havent already read the spoilers then you are in for a surprise when Owen arrives at No.13

I agree. I thought it was brilliant. Its seems quite obvious what the verdict will be. I still cannot see how Maria reckons Frank attempted to rape her. Indecent assault at most.

I know what Owen is doing to the house but Steve will be back with her again I think

Stella really wants justice for Carla but will she feel the same now the affair is out

[alan45]

What makes you think Steve will get back with Traceyluv.

Stellarrrrrrrgggghhhhh thinks she is Mother Teresa and the shoulder for everyone to cry on. She has only arrived and she thinks she is the street's agony aunt.

Yes, the only one of the Magnificent Seven still alive....

i thought that about stellurgh as well! Why does everyone seem to go to her for a chat in the backroom of the rovers now, sunita deirdre and im sure there was someone else as well!

oh and another thing, its a rape trial, surely they would have been designated separate entrances and not able to have a chat on the steps of the court!

I take this to be the script writers trying to make us like Stella more? you know, make her the agony aunt and everyones friend and champion and we will take her to our hearts.....

I think you are right, even though Frank is on bail, there should have been a mechanism for getting the witnesses to arrive separately, and stay separate?

Maria should never have took the stand she made Carla's case worse as did Peter

That's what defence lawyers are for. Of course, in the end Peter's evidence was turned on him by Frank somehow knowing that when his mother passed Leanne the envelope she would stand up in court and shout out from the gallery...hmmm...

As for Maria's evidence I think it was helpful to Carla. Of course the defence is going to try and put her down and make it sound as though it was her fault but the jury has to consider whether it can be just coincidence that this has happened twice with Frank and that both times it was the woman's fault. If the prosecution lawyer is any good he will draw attention to this in his summing up. No, I think Maria's evidence is actually helpful.
