Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[tammyy2j]

I really want to slap Sarah Louise

Is she and Bethany back living with David again?

Is this the lady Dev meet in India not what I was expecting

I liked the scenes of Jenny with Sophie and also Ben with Sophie

Where was Sean's boyfriend at the funeral? Shouldn't he be with him at a time like this as a good Christian?

Talking of funerals it was good to see an islamic one in the show. They did that really well. Just one fact that they had it about a week later which would not be the usual thing as they bury same day or the next day. Thats why I miss a lot of them as never can get to them at very short notice. Jenny was good it made me cry. Sarah and her offspring are at Audreys. They need to support themselves and stop living off relatives. There is only so much good will!

Coronation Street's boss has apologised for a script blunder where screenwriters seemed to forget a very significant storyline.

A plot involving the death of Kevin Webster's baby son 15 years ago was missed during a touching scene between members of the Webster family.

In the scenes, Kevin told daughter Sophie that it "must be hard burying one of your kids" following the death of her girlfriend Maddie Heath in a fire at Victoria Court.

However, in 2000, Kevin and his then-wife Alison's baby Jake was just days old when he passed away from an infection.

The aftermath of the heartbreaking storyline saw Kevin's distraught wife take her own life.

Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn has apologised for the mistake, telling The Sun: "I'd like to thank viewers who spotted our mistake.

"Our episodes go through many drafts and are scrutinised by many people, but on this occasion we did make a mistake."


Inexcusable mistake in my opinion

[maidmarian]

I agree Perdita -it is inexcusable!!

On "this" occasion -its one of many such.
And was referred to in this forum( and no doubt
elsewhere) well in advance of the time delay
between filming and transmission.So
could have been corrected.

If there was even a small attempt at
continuity instead of so much on
over-hyping there wouldnt be so many!!

On a different type of error- they boosted
Izzy as the first wheel- chair using character
on the soap.
But they had had Maud Grimes( Reg Holdsworths
mother in law in the soap for years!) who
was in a wheel chair!

It is interesting to see the customs of religions
portrayed and a pity it wasnt fully accurate but
it did at least give viewers an insight .

Is it just me who thinks Sophie, Kevin and Rita jumped to the conclusion that Jenny'd taken Jack unnaturally quickly? The only evidence they had was some missing trains and pyjamas. Why didn't they at least check his bedroom before phoning the police?

I find Jenny very tragic when her "nutty" behaviour's toned down. Her scenes with Sophie and Jack were very moving.

I hate the forced jollity often found at wakes. I understand it's a coping mechanism but I find it very uncomfortable to watch (and in real life).

Gail's face when David told her that he and Kylie were back together looked like she'd just chewed a wasp!

I'm really enjoying Kylie being back. Her and David's scenes were my favourite part of Friday's episodes.

I still can't get over Sarah's relationship with Callum. I understand his motives, but she looks thoroughly bored in every one of their scenes. Is the actress fed up or is she being directed to act like that I wonder? I can't remember a soap couple with less chemistry!

[swmc66]

Agree they have no chemistry
