Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

As someone said above (can't remember who, sorry!) it's really silly that Peter would move so far away from Simon (and Ken) just to get away from Coronation Street. I know he has ties to Portsmouth, but they must be pretty weak by now, having spent the last decade or so in Weatherfield. In reality, he'd just have moved a few miles away and would see his family all the time. It could be mentioned occasionally that Simon had been at Peter's to keep the illusion going.

I wish soap writers would think situations like this through!

I'll miss Chris Gascoyne as Peter and hope he returns to Corrie in a few years. There's no doubt Peter was going around in circles so a break might be a good thing.

I'm sorry to see Cilla go too.

Was me that said it was silly about Peter moving so far away, I agree with everything you say.. I really hope to see Chris Gascoyne back on the Cobbles in the not too distant future. The same applies to Cilla

He has some ties to Portsmouth and its a place he turns to for some reason. Not sure how long Fiz will be away. I thought she would be away for 3 months but maybe she can afford to be off longer with her restaurant and that.

what ties?

Re Fiz - although the character may be dippy- I think
the actress is more astute. She has outside business
interests as a fall-back and has seen what has happened
to the ones who played Hayley & Tina. I know they said they
wanted to leave/take break but probably hoped/expected to
come back.at some stage as they were deemed very popular
I did wonder whether the over-playing the part with Roy
-who is popular and seems happy to stay- was to make
her character less disposable. Shes on Maternity Leave
so does have the right to return-but things can change.

Re Peter - sorry to see him go and agree his leaving
story could have been more plausible.
Hope he returns some time - but not to Carla- she was
a stronger more interesting character initially but I don't
think someone at Corrie likes strong women- theyre not
allowed to stay that way!

She also does a lot of charitable work around mental health so making a contribution to society. I hear Michelle Keagen has some acting part now.

Peter leaving was terrible, poor Simon at least Carla was there for him, liked their scenes, Carla should not have miscarried imo

It would have taken the Carla out of the
rut shes been written into and given
the character a new dimension that I
would have welcomed.
I did wonder tho if it was another
"soap education message" which
there are a lot of.( sometimes not accurate
or well researched)
This time about pregnancy & drinking
