Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[maidmarian]

It was mean of Audrey. Despite how irritating Nessa is she is in a relationship with Ken and he chose that. Agree she should sack her because she just leaves when it suits her cannot understand why she has not.

Thats partly what I mean - when I say I don't
like the way they are making Audrey look
desparate ( and silly)!
Shes mature and experienced enough to deal
with a"rival" in a adult and/or legal way !
This is a bit like an old St Trinians film!

There are many as yet unexplained mysteries in Coronation Street at the moment.

To me, the main inexplicable happening is Aidan walking through the pub into the back room. Why?

There you go then. That's one mystery easily explained. Thank you.

Aidan wanted the flat above Streetcars but Johnny and Katie beat him to it.

Best part of the episode for me was David again. Jack P Shepherd really shines in every scene he is in. He has a real rapore with Max and you can tell with their scenes.

The rest of the episode's were a waste of time really and nonsense. We really did not need two episodes tonight, we could have fit all the good bits into one.

And showing that Todd does have a nicer side too. I had forgotten about Billy.

I think part of Todd wants to keep close to the Platts for news on Callum also

Is Rob and Carla's mother dead?

[Dazzle]

Regarding using the Carla's saliva from the envelope as a source of her DNA, I just had a nosey at the website of a paternity testing firm and, although they say the test needs a cheek swab, they also go on to say:

If the alleged father is deceased, forensic DNA testing can be considered using items which may contain the alleged father's DNA. Forensic DNA testing can be performed any anything that has biological material from the father such as an old toothbrush, electric razer, blood stains, saliva stains, and bone or teeth from an exhumation.

I see no reason why that wouldn't also apply to a deceased child, but the trouble is Johnny's already said he'll have to forge Carla's signature so they'll know she's alive. I've read it's illegal to do a DNA test without consent, so I don't know how Johnny could wangle the test (unless he knows someone who works there). No doubt the writers would call it artistic licence...

anyone finding the potential pairings of liz/johnny and anna/kevin and erica/dev so out of sorts especially johnny telling his secret to liz so random

I think Johnny and Liz seem to have chemistry, but agree about the other two potential couples.

Sarah must have been waiting in that clinic an awfully long time for Kylie to go to the school, see the nativity play, travel to the clinic (which Sarah implied was some distance away), and still get there in time.

I think it's been made obvious that Sarah's heart wasn't in having an abortion so I doubt she'll completely change her mind again - although realistically she's bound to have moments of doubt given the circumstances.

Is Rob and Carla's mother dead?

I think I remember Carla attending her funeral a couple of years ago.
