Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

did david and his care worker assessor go with audrey to her house?

No, something was said about arranging another appointment.

[Perdita]

Audrey said to David and Bethany to go to her place to give Michael and Gail time to talk after the social worker left

[swmc66]

In a short space of time sarah has lived in three places. Living off her family at same time siding with the enemy. I cannot wait to see her face when she realises Callum cares for Kylie still.

I find it strange that the Websters (apart from Sophie) don't appear to be grieving Maddie. OK they'd only known her a short while but she's been a part of the family for at least a year and they seemed genuinely fond of her. I noticed that Sally and Tim didn't seem too bothered after the initial shock in Monday's episodes.

The truth is that when somebody you spend a lot of time with dies suddenly, even if you weren't that close, you feel completely shellshocked. There's a gaping hole that your brain struggles to fill for some time. However the Websters seem strangely unphased by it all at the moment.

I think what u say is true in real life for people
with "normal" emotions Dazzle!

Soaps are different anyway but I think with
Celebrity Worship thats now part of everyday
life -does devalue some peoples ability
to feel about those who should matter.

A version of " everyone gets 15 mins of fame"
Becomes " everyone gets 15 mins of grief"

I want to see an upset Tim, Maddie helped him with his reading at the beginning

[Snagglepus]

Maybe they are becoming immune to death and murders.

I'm glad it's not just me!

You cynic you!

(Though I agree with you, which I guess makes me a cynic too! )

I agree, I was particularly disappointed that Tim seemed almost his usual laid back self when they were back home in Monday's episode. He was quite close to Maddie despite the rocky start to their relationship.

Perdita-you haven't upset me and I'm sure that wasn't your intention so apology accepted. But you see this differently-in my eyes Tracy did it deliberately , she was in that flat to hurt Carla, nothing else. In Tracy's case, there are no accidents, she's a scheming cow-she's always up to no good! And I surely hope she'll be paying for this one. What I don't get, is that Tracy had a plan to go into Carla's flat and kill her, she knew it was dark and she would need light..people usually have a torch these days on their mobile phones?? Surely you would come in prepared, wouldn't you? How could she have known that Carla had a candle(+matches)just waiting for her on the table?
I think it's so wrong that Carla is being accused for a second time in such a short period of time, writers don't have much imagination do they?
I just can't watch that..

ps. I meant to reply with the quote, but something went wrong..sorry about that

[Snagglepus]

I don't think Tracy did it deliberately, but that is not to say it was not her fault. It was her careless actions that caused the death of Kal.
The same as someone who falls asleep whilst smoking in bed does not deliberately set themselves on fire. But it is them and nobody else to blame.
Accidents are caused by somebody's carelessness, they don't happen by themselves, but are not intentional.
The perpetrators should still have the finger pointed at them though.

Didn't Tracy run out of Carla's because she heard a toilet being flushed, so she knew someone else was in there.
I wonder why Amy never saw the light when going from the toilet to the bedroom. Don't know the layout of Carla's flat though.
