Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[maidmarian]

Nice to see Rita visit Mavis, would love to see Mavis visit Rita for a change ..

so would I - but if Thelma Barlow cant make it
or doesnt want to return - even for short visit.

We do have Les Dennis on hand!. For more
recent viewers- Les used to do a tv comedy
duo act with Dustin.Gee . They used to
play Mavis & Vera as part of their act.!

Slightly more seriously-acting with Mavis did
make Rita more bearable and on.occasions
even likeable!!

not much interesting tonight couldn't care less about sinead and ches or callum and katy or andy and steph

I don't care much about those couples but I do care about the storylines they're involved in - David and Callum's custody battle, fake Gavin and Sinead's injury.

So Callum has a respectable mother to back up his custody case? That immediately makes things more interesting. I want to see scenes between Callum and his mother to find out what she thinks of his lifestyle.

I think theres a lot more strands to come in this
storyline and looking forward to seeing them unfold.

Re Callums mother-has she been married4/5 times
and does she have a prison record.
re Fathers - is Callums father on the scene or has
been absent for years like Martin
Theres also.the issue of Gail never getting
treatment for what it is that makes David
behave so irrationally over many years
and continuing.
Courts take the wider picture into account
and Solictors can dig things up- from both
sides.Also the amount of support the family
will provide.

I think.in short term David will be the architect
of his own downfall. If things dont go his way
- he will probably have anr outburst ( ones due
soon as ratings gone down a bit) and do something
worse than hit a judge( which I think you found
was Callums only recorded crime)

In the longer term Kylie will come back/ reunite
David and we will have to see what happens then.

Should be an interesting time meanwhile.

Unless of course the actress decides she doesn't
want to return to Corrie long-term . And
leaves after she has done the relevant post
maternity service to do other things.

Very true!

I don't want Kylie to come back. Davids better without her. Agree Gail and her family won't look good in court. Hardly a stable family. More to come with Sarah and Co as well.
Re the damaged football...Maddie and simon left their football on the street. They should'nt have left it. Did they expect it to stay safe and unharmed?

I agrere. The main problem for Coronation Street is, it achieves high ratings whether the show is good or bad. It has a default audience. The danger for Coronation Street is while viewing figures remain high, itv will bury their heads in the sand and not take action to improve the quality of the show sadly. The show is a former shadow of itself and has become stale and the producer and script writers have become lazy. New blood is needed!
