Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

She has been married 5 times, twice to Brian Tilsley, Michael will be 6th wedding and 5th husband

Eileen and Gail have a history because of Todd and Sarah. Todd was in the wrong a far as I can remember. Gail and Eileen should set up a support group not be arch enemies as they gave birth to the most dysfunctional kids on the street .... apart from Tracy that is.

And widowed 3 times- with 4th possibly
on horizon.!
Wonder what chance she has of insuring
her husbands-even ignoring Michaels
health issues??

I did'nt like Eileen ruining Gails's hen night with her meanness. Shame they are giving her a love interest she does not deserve it with her behaviour. I did'nt find it funny at all. I thought she should have got sacked on the spot.

I agree that Eileen has been particularly mean lately but I enjoyed her and Gail's spat at the hen night anyway because it was full of witty lines. I think Gail gave as good as she got, but Eileen was more out of order because she was working. I do agree that it was bullying really if you think about it.

I preferred Eileen in the past but they've been writing her as more and more sour-faced recently. I hope her new man cheers her up a bit.

The Rovers has a history of not sacking misbehaving bar staff. For example Tina always seemed to be abusing customers or throwing drinks over them but she was still Liz's "best barmaid".

I agree with your comments about Eileens behaviour
at work being very out order.There were funny
moments tho!
Years ago she was a much more pleasant person.
They started making her nastier at the same time
they started giving her strange( in my view)
boyfriends. Perhaps they were the punishment
she was thought to deserve!!
Not sure if she was bad enough to deserve the
fireman.Another botched/rushed health issue
story.! Altzheimers is a long illness -people don't
just have "accidents" at convenient moments!

Glad Gail showed she was able to deal with
Eileen. Just as Eileen hasnt alwats been
unpleasant Gail hasnt always been"dim"!
The main reason for Gail being dim in recent
years seems to be so David can be "funny" at her
expense.

Yes, Gail's increasing stupidity is another inexplicable character change for the worse. At least she and Michael are well suited I suppose. Michael's so dim he's nearly invisible!

I enjoyed Sally commenting on Anna Karena - having been to the loo and googled it!!!!

[swmc66]

Yes I enjoyed that too. I love my books but the size of that one would have put me off. Whats she doing taking it into the pub anyway on a hen night. Talking off barmaids Tina also took a lot of breaks she was hardly there! Steve has miraculously recovered overnight. Ths is not helping people understand mental illness. Makes people think you can snap out of it if you really want to.
