Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I don't blame her for disliking David to be honest. Last time they lived together he was an absolute nightmare. She understandably hated him then, especially when he hid ecstasy in Bethany's teddy bear. Didn't the youngster nearly swallow some of it?

Starting a relationship with Callum (the drug dealer!) is just plain stupid of course.



Anna told Owen not to have anything to do with Faye, and then later the same day complains that he's abandoning her. She seems to have caught David's amnesia (who threw Kylie out then subsequently moaned that she'd abandoned them).

Better the devil you know that the one you don't I think for Sarah

Were there a few action replays in Corrie tonight or is my internet tv box playing up? I saw quite a few scenes repeated.

Deirdre is being quite selfish staying with her friend Bev for so long, has she forgotten about her friends and family?
Then again, nobody appears to have missed her.

I think I must have zoned out during Tracy and Tony's scenes in Monday's episodes because I cannot for the life of me remember them deciding to buy a pub together.

It's really annoying me that Liz and Steve are taking Tony for granted all of a sudden. A classic case of personality transplantitis to further a storyline methinks. It's making me want Tracy and Tony to succeed in wresting the pub from them!

So Faye and Gary all of a sudden love Owen and will miss him…

Since we all know that Anne Kirkbride has died in real life, and that the whole Corrie team were probably still grief-stricken about her death when the current episodes were filmed, I think we can forgive them for not mentioning Deirdre at the moment.

I don't think there's any need to keep repeating that her family and friends have spoken to her on the phone anyway. We can use our common sense and realise that it's supposed to still be happening until we're told differently.

As for staying with Bev...the writers didn't know poor Anne was dying when they came up with that excuse. They probably thought her absence would last for a couple of months at most.

Re Faye and Gary.I think Owen tho often not
a"nice person" was actually better overall with
Faye than Anna was. But even Eddie did seem
to be more natural and at ease with her than
Anna with her extremes of behaviour.

Re Dierdres absence- I think the writers did the
best they could in very difficult circs.
Once the situation becomes public knowledge
I think most regular viewers can accept delays
and things not quite adding up -out of respect
for real-life family.

Some posters have commented that Jim Brannnings
funeral in EE was overshadowed by Stans. But I
thought may John Bardons family may have
requested the screen funeral be low-key as they
have actually lost him and been thru a funeral.
Whereas Timothy West is thankfully still with us.

I'll remember Owen most for his bullying and all round unreasonable behaviour. He treated Gary appallingly up until recently, constantly sniping about him being a loser etc. Faye being upset at him leaving was probably realistic but I can't remember them having an affectionate relationship so I must admit I was surprised last night.
