Does Gail still work at the gym?

Sally was funny naming all the drugs it could be too

[tammyy2j]

I thought Owen had beat Linda or done something else, pretty bad reason for Linda not to contact her kids, she could have made more effort

What has Linda's contacting her kids have to do with Anna, I really detest the character of Anna even more so than Owen, the writers ruined Anna

Looks like Julie is being turned into an annoying nag before

Spoiler:

her exit

I'm glad everyone else enjoyed Monday's Corrie as much as I did. Writer Damon Rochfort's scripts were spot on and full of lots of witty touches:

Mary contemplating people gazing at her dahlias (I've never heard them called that before! )

Sally complaining about what she'd have to do in prison to get decent toilet roll (as she's so middle class...)

Jason thinking the Golden Gate Bridge is in New York

Sally (again) thinking Kylie's ear (or both ears) were in the box.

My very favourite was Mary's "Oh no, I'm only attracted to clever men"!

(And if anyone's wondering - yes, I was sad enough to note down those lines right after watching so I didn't forget! )

I know I shouldn't but I'm enjoying watching Todd manipulating Jason.

owen did wrong but the mother didn't do alot to try and contact her daughters either...

I thought Owen had beat Linda or done something else, pretty bad reason for Linda not to contact her kids, she could have made more effort

I do agree with you both about Linda making more effort. She could have contacted a solicitor and I don't think there's any way a judge would have denied her access. However, that doesn't take away from nasty Owen's guilt in my book.

I thought his heart-to-heart with Izzy was really well done, especially the line "you made me hate myself so you could be a hero". That whole conversion rang true to me. (I also took great pleasure in Gary getting his own back on Owen with some harsh home truths.)

I really detest the character of Anna even more so than Owen, the writers ruined Anna

I detest Owen the most. I've been wondering lately why the writers have regressed the Windasses and Armstrongs back to being so unlikable again? All the Windasses were horrible when they first came into Corrie but improved immensely with some character development. The same goes for Owen. Anna even became a bit of an earth mother type for a while if memory serves.

I just can't understand the character unravelling (is that the right word?) that's happened to them in the past year or so.

Anna just has a permanent look of disgust on her face i am getting sick of seeing that look

[Snagglepus]

Owen is the good guy here... I don't remember him having an affair or jumping into bed with anyone.
Katie takes after her mother.

All in order for Owen to make his departure but after the year she has been through, I can also understand her not looking her happiest and the truth about Owen and his ex-wife splitting and non-contact with the children will also take a while for her to come to terms with!

yes-and he was the parent who loooked
the daughters throughout childhood.
Theres bad publicity about "absent fathers"
- but sometimes its the mother who "absents"
herself-like in this case.
Enough tho not perfect person-Owen was
the one who brought them up and deserves
some credit!
