Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

bad xmas episode and damn kylie didn't put up much of a fight for her kids and david she just went off with callum in the end

[parkerman]

Absolutely, lizann. David can't just throw her out and tell her to say goodbye to the kids. What would have happened if she refused to go, or go and take the kids with her? Another case of a soap woman just rolling over?

[Perdita]

Not knowing how a drug addict feels myself, but aren't there a lot of criminal acts performed by drug addicts that they would never do if they were not hooked on the stuff? Is it possible that her actions are so unlike from her because of the addiction?

[swmc66]

She probablt thought they were all better off without her. She must love her kids to do that

[parkerman]

It didn't look that way when she was saying goodbye to Max or pleading with David to let her stay.

[swmc66]

Don't know why she left then. She normally puts up an argument

[Dazzle]

I kind of agree with all of you about Kylie's behaviour upon leaving David and the kids. There's no clear cut reason I can see, and yes, it's disappointing yet again that a woman rolls over for the men in a soap, Parkerman.

I can understand why she left David - she knew that she'd had her last chance with him and that he'd never believe another word she said. What made less sense is that she'd leave her kids (and I bet she won't even contact them while she's away) or go off with scumbag Callum. Also, David called it his house but as far as I'm aware it's owned jointly by both of them so he had no right to chuck her out.

I saw a woman with no fight left in her, but the writers could have at least left her with a shred of dignity in the end by telling Callum to go to hell when he pulled up in his car.

I found the episode otherwise enjoyable though not exceptional. The scene where Sally and the girls tricked Tim and Kevin into thinking they'd eaten the Christmas dinner was amusing and ultimately heartwarming.

I would be looking forward to tonight's episode but from what I read in the Radio Times (who managed to spoil nearly the whole plot ), it sounds pretty grim.

Nice to see the old Leanne back and her and Carla sticking up for Roy

Gary the idiot robbing his mother's work place

[tammyy2j]

Kylie could have gone and stayed with Becky or Eva or at least telephoned Eva or Gail to see how the kids were

[parkerman]

Kylie could have gone and stayed with Becky....

Isn't Becky in Barbados?
