Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

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.

I would agree about Owen & Gary . Re Faye -
shes had so little stability in her life -even
"losing" Owen probably matters more to
her than it would to another child.
Being better than Anna isnt much of a
compliment -just a some improvement.
I keep hoping story will get better-as
promised-but not so far

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.

Very good point about respecting the wishes of Anne's real family.

Re Faye -

"losing" Owen probably matters more to
her than it would to another child.

Another excellent point MM!

True Owen was a bully but I will miss him, well played by Ian, shame he never got payback and revenge on Phelan

Sometimes he was dead right about Gary being a loser too imo

I wish we saw more scenes of Faye and Owen being close, Owen is a good dad in his own way to Katy and Izzy and for a while to Faye

How will Izzy cope now on her own there with Jake

Tut tut...some people weren't paying very close attention to Owen's convoluted leaving plans.

He said something along the lines that he was leaving his van with another mate who lived near the airport while he was in Portugal (I think ).

There was no mentioned of poor Jake at all!

Yeah, it would have been good to see him get his revenge on Phelan.

They've still got Gary living nearby.

Phelan should not have got away with it. Corrie always sorts out the bad guys. This is the first time they hav'nt.

Yes, that's correct.
