Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

The Simon attacks Amy thing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. She was being a Tracey clone at the time. Tracey really needs to look in the mirror before she has a go at Leanne. She seems to expect Steve to do 95% of the parenting and slags him off if he doesn't do it. Leanne would be well within her rights to wash her hands of Simon (she never adopted him, did she?) I can't think of many step parents who would stand by a step child if they were the subject of their abuse.

Simon has said about everything else to hurt his family than to point out that Amy isn't Ken's real granddaughter. I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

There is definitely some history with Robert and in a few scenes, it seemed to me that he was possibly the abused who became an abuser.

The Mary, Norris, Rita, Emily scenes were not very funny tonight for some reason. However Eva is pure gold. I loved the Psycho Tracey Reference. Cath Tyldesley is amazing, I hope the writers continue to give her nuggets of gold. Eva is the only character worth watching at the mo.

Was Bren Bren leading Mary on or just that he found a friend with a common interest to him or does he have possible romance in mind for Mary

I didn't expect his wife to come out this soon by himself

Thats whats confusing me now

[Perdita]

I think he just never thought to mention her, no misleading intended ....I think Mary got a bit carried away with the attention BrenBren gave her ... poor Mary

I agree, Eva's improved so much since she first arrived on the cobbles (when I disliked her). She carries off witty one-liners with panache, and is a classic tough-Northern-woman-with-a-heart-of-gold that Corrie was built on. She can do emotional too as her recent scenes with Leanne have proved.

I agree with Perdita, although I also think there's a possibility he became aware of her romantic intentions and was letting her down gently. Either way, more heartbreak for Mary...

True love?? Accept your partner with all their faults?? He does tell her to wind her neck in from time to time ...So far, he looks like a dream partner to me until no doubt his dark side surfaces

I know from experience that it's possible to fall in love with someone you wouldn't even like if you didn't have your rose-tinted specs on.

The trouble is that to me Robert isn't behaving like some starry-eyed lover who won't realise the truth about his girlfriend until the honeymoon's over. He can clearly already see Tracy for who she really is, hates her poisonousness, yet loves her anyway. That's what doesn't make sense to me.

I can understand someone like Rob Donovan loving her. He's lacking any morals himself and didn't give a damn who Tracey hurt. He found her bitchiness amusing if I remember correctly.

I agree there might be an as yet unrevealed dark side to Robert. Maybe that'll explain the paradox.
