Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I have to say Franks Barrister was pretty ruthless!! I think her speeches were pretty accurate. I think it was helpful for Carla as well as with any evidence its the defences job to turn it on its head.

[Dennis tanner]

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...

Leanne could have just walked out with them If I was the prosecution, I would be going to see Mrs Barlow and asking her why she suddenly shouted. If shetells how she got the photo, it would not go down well for Frank.

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.

It shows Carla to be rather calous and prepared to do anything to get her way

Yes, that's exactly the point I was making. How did Frank know what her reaction would be? She could have just walked out without the histrionics, then what would have happened?

It's up to the prosecution to use it to show how ruthless Frank is as well in getting his own way.

The evidence appears to be that he wasn't particularly ruthless. She ran out and he didn't stop her or run after her

I'm glad you're not my barrister.

I only prosecute

Leanne: "well you didnt lie about seeing a dog"

Great acting from Jane as Leanne tonight as usual

Poor little Simon I wanted to hug him

[Cat22]

Did Leanne call Stella "Mum" for the first time or have I missed that in a previous episode?

[flappinfanny]

all in all a very good ep of cs. jane and chris were excellent. janes perfromance was outstanding. most people won't agree but for me the only down side was curly simon. ott. not really a fan. to be fair on this occasion not really his fault, poor writing, sadly the end spoilt a very good ep.

[flappinfanny]

watching thurs excellent ep of coronation st i noticed the gulf between the good and the bad. on one side you have the creme da la creme, the superb carla, leanne and chris. and on the other side you have brian, fiz, dev, tracey, simon and sean. The latest character of brian is truly awful, a updated version of reg holdsworth who i could not bare. when corrie gets its comedy right it is simply the best, but when it goes ott with the likes of brian and julie it is laughable. remember the et ep. awful. i think corrie needs the excellent daran little back. hes done wonders in that other southern soap. and we have sean returning soon, could he not stay in the jungle along with wallace and gromit
