She asked Sean to let Carla know. Plenty of notice!

Did Brian take any luggage?

Are you concerned Brian took.Kens Kimono??

Perhaps had an eye on it for yourself!"

I was just thinking that if he was going off for three months it might have taken him a bit longer to get packed.

[swmc66]

Maybe he was packed already to leave Kens as Julie was leaving the street. Or he had an idea that there may be a chance of a last minute change.

I'm sorry to see Julie go but the impression we were given that Brian would win her back left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Much as I enjoy watching the character of Brian, he treated Julie appallingly. I wanted her to have the strength and self-respect to go on the cruise on her own.

did julie give any notice to carla

She asked Sean to let Carla know. Plenty of notice!

The bizarre thing about not speaking to Carla (ever heard of the phone?) is that Julie must be expecting to come back to Coronation Street after the holiday so she'll want her job left open. Who would walk away from a job they needed without a word?

Did Brian take any luggage?

After Julie got into the taxi the scene cut to the Rovers for a minute or two, then back to Julie and Brian in the taxi. Therefore Brian could theoretically have had time to pop home and grab his things (which were probably already mostly in bags). It's unthinkable that he just hopped into the taxi and went on holiday with no luggage at all - which is what the editing suggested!

Surely not after Brian's comment about the feeling of silk against bare skin!

Cathy's hoard looked unrealistically bright and shiny. Rooms full of junk take years to accumulate and are usually covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs because there's no access to clean. As a child I used to have piano lessons in a house like that, though hoarding wasn't well known as a mental health problem at the time.

I do think it's an original soap story and could be good if handled well. However, I suspect we won't be delving too deeply into Cathy's psyche and that it'll be glossed over quickly.

I think it was stupid writing to get Nick and Erica back together. Even they know it's doomed to failure!

[tammyy2j]

I presume it got crushed... did she not mention something about not being able to afford it? That may have extended to fines and the clamping release charge.

Where does Mary's mother live?
