Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

It was 12 hours, I just checked on youtube*. No wonder you nearly fell off the sofa hearing 24 hours!

To be honest I think even 12 hours is a stretch. She went to the Platt house from her shift at the Rovers. The earliest it could realistically have been was midday and there's no way she didn't wake up until midnight. I remember the family were sitting around wondering why she was so tired, but it didn't seem that late when she finally awoke.

I miss a lot of episodes at night so try to watch repeat early in the morning, must have been still half asleep but as you say, even somebody crashed out for 12 hours is something I would get concerned about ...

So Sarah was sparked out on the sofa for 24 hours and nobody questioned as to why?? Come on writers, you should be doing much better than this!!

Someone would have tried to wake her to move her, did they think she was just really drunk?

I don't think so. From what I can remember they thought she might be coming down with something? They did try to wake her half-heartedly but she was unresponsive.

Friday evening doesn't feel right without a Corrie double bill. How sad am I?

Mary sneezing around the food in the café was making me sick

So sick of the Callum storyline and there really isn't much in the live episode build up to make me keen to watch

I felt the same. Anyway did Mchelle offer Andrea a 'drink'.
Only bit i enjoyed was Roy's story.
Why are the mothers/ grandmothers planning Gary and Alya's wedding? Don't they have a say.

Actress playing Rita gone off sick...apparently pressure of live episode. Why do we need live episodes anyway!

Yes, I hope I'm wrong but it's starting to look like way more trouble than it's going to be worth. The Steve getting wrecked scenes were done to keep him out of the live episode (as per Simon Gregson's request). It must be incredibly stressful for all concerned.

I've got lots more to say about it but I'll put it in another thread because I don't want to mention any spoilers in this thread.

I noticed Michelle offering Andrea a drink too. Hopefully she meant non-alcoholic rather than it being another example of poor continuity...

Roy and Cathy's scenes were good. He seems totally oblivious of her feelings for him, and it was very sad for him to be back in Blackpool without Hayley.

I always thought it had been acknowledged
that the actress had had a problem with
her lines for sometime. A live episode
would have made that worse!
It might have been.kinder to have not
included her!
