Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[GloriaW]

Anna was really good...and I agree with others saying that there was no need for Carla to march upstairs. I like Carla, I can understand she's worried and that's how she is, but she could have waited downstairs with Anna..
Both Julie and David have always been so good, I've absolutely loved them as a couple, and Hailey will be missed. But I must agree, that David deserves some kind of notification for his great perfomance on this storyline. The suffering&fear of being alone in his eyes was so real..That got me more than anything else. I was expecting myself to be in tears last night, but I really wasn't..Yet it was still touching- especially just before they went upstairs.But I know I will cry in Hayley's funeral.
I think the writers idea was to make it look like at the same time when someone dies, the other people just continue on with their lifes and (also insignificant-like Gloria/Dennis)problems..that's how life is..I think it was a really touching moment too when Hailey was looking out of the window and saw all the life on the street..and also when she gave her last advice to Chesney in the cafe. And I did cry when she hugged Fizz so tight and didn't want to let go..So sad!

One thing I've always wondered is..why do people always visit them in the cafe, why can't they go to the back to their sitting room? Even with Fizz&Ty and kids-wouldn't it make more sense to visit Hailey there?

Carla has been like the anti-death squad with all this. But obviously the writers needed a catalyst for the entry into the flat.

~well, this is a discussion forum and we do air our opinons. Sorry my voiced opinon ruined it for you. It shouldn't, you should be able to have your own opinions and other differing ones should hardly "ruin" an episode for you.

she meant gloria as in sue johnston ruined it?

LOL

julie and david were outstanding and owned the episode. i wanted to hit gloria and dennis. i didn't like the ending, it lost its impact. i did like the scene with anna sitting downstairs knowing what was going on. i felt it was spoilt when carla came in with anna into the bedroom.

imo it would have been better to have left carla saying she thought something wasn't right. i also think the end scene should have been roy and hayley on the bed alone, fading out into darkness, playing the credits on the black background, with no music and no continuity announcer.

i hope julie and david get every gong going.

I'm quite angry at the writers for ruining the scene of Hayley's death by having screeching Carla barging in. It completely took me out of what had been a very moving scene up until then. Not happy at all

LOL

I do hope you don't choke there laughing, oh I really do. Euthanasia?

Anna sitting on her own in the café while Hayley was killing herself was quite poignant no need for Carla to bust in and don't get me started on that mule Tyrone looking for the toy and Gloria and Dennis another two idiots

Dennis has gotten a personality transplant too since he is leaving

Was Becky mentioned did I miss that?

I think what we're really looking at here is a weak script. These actions were down to the writers wanting that dramatic discovery scene.
