Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

The writers are really doing a job on Gail these days, my mum just asked if she'd been drinking!

Carla can't have gambled that much, surely? Serious plot hole. As if a bank would allow a 30k overdraft. Carla was only transferring 2k into her personal account the other week. I don't think she'd ever start gambling straight out of her business account and I don't believe she could have kept transferring it and not realised how low the balance was getting.

Plus that this Carla's overspending storyline comes too soon after Steve's depression and debt one.
Writers could use some imagination for a change.

Too much Gail. She's really starting to get on my nerves these days.

Kym Marsh must be particularly bored, having been closely involved in both of these debt storylines.

Think she is glad to be involved in any storyline ...

Finally Sarah you see the real Callum

Max should have used on the gun and fired it on them all

Carla has all new things in her apartment and can still afford to lose a lot in Vegas gambling

I'm quite enjoying Carla's gambling storyline. Yes it's been rushed and there are plot holes, but I like that the guilt over her supposed killing of two people has affected her so badly. I think this is realistic as most people with a conscience would never be the same after something like that. It's just a pity it's not Tracy who's so badly affected.

It was very enjoyable to see the scales fall from Sarah's eyes about Callum. She'll get no sympathy from me! I just hope she does the right thing and confesses the truth. No doubt it'll be strung out until the last possible minute though.

Why was Bethany getting a taxi to the airport? Shouldn't she be getting it to the school to pick up a coach there?

[Dazzle]

I'm very glad Callum made it very clear earlier this week that he wasn't sexually interested in Bethany. It's bad enough that he's exploiting her crush on him without going there!

I found it so sad that Carla virtually begged Nick to declare his feelings for her so she'd had something positive to cling to. Everyone involved knows his relationship with Erica has no chance, so it'd be best for him to finish it now and be with Carla.

Yet again somebody just walks into a job in Corrie! Why couldn't the bistro have held interviews and Robert got the job like a normal person? It's very lazy writing.

Bethany will have a big shock later. I think she thinks Callum is interested in her no matter what he says.
