Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[maidmarian]

Very unrealistic, but in keeping with Ken's ( William Roache ) acting!!!

Yes-the medical staff probably realised
he was more doddery than the potential
patient -so better err on side of caution??!

Mary's shame and self-torment about her fling with a married man is sad but she doesn't half come out with some great lines!

She's falling for her I think. Who saw that coming?

that wasn't shirley eva bassey really singing was it?

I don't know, but I assume it was really Eva singing. It did however sound pre-recorded.

Shane Ward should have grabbed the Mike as well

I knew it, I just knew it!

They have done absolutely no research at all into Council elections or, if they have, they've completely ignored what they've found.

1. Just because a Councillor has been accused of fraud doesn't mean he would automatically lose his seat.

2. OK, let's say he resigned. It seemed from what Ken said that the "resignation" had just happened, so they'd have to wait for the Returning Officer to send out an official notice of the vacancy and then wait for two or more electors to call a by-election.

But, above all....

3. If a vacancy occurs this close to an actual election there would not be a by-election and the vacancy would just be carried until then.

Your knowledge puts the Corrie scriptwriters to shame, parkerman!

Coronation Street has turned into Judgemental Street yet again. Nary a month goes by without most of the residents ganging up on someone innocent(ish). I wish they'd change the record! Still, at least this time the true victim of Jenny's breakdown, Kevin, is behaving decently.

Sally used to be good friends with Jenny so her callous attitude is doubly ridiculous. She needs to be taken down a peg or two hundred when she's in judge, jury and executioner mode, so I wasn't sorry that Jenny threatened her. The latter is obviously still a villain even when sane. I wonder what havoc she'll wreak this time? I hope Rita's not in the firing line.

I'm beginning to hope Sally doesn't win the election. She's already intolerable and l dread the monster that would be created if she won. Luckily for us, she's got no chance unless Ken manages to tame and educate her. Perhaps Jenny will find a way to sabotage her?

I'm liking the slavery storyline already. Eva's a good character to get involved I think. Her appalled reaction to the girl's story was very convincing.

Mary: "Amongst you all, the corpses of dead relationships must lie ten deep."

I wish Mary was used for more than just comic relief. Patti Clare is an excellent actress who commands the screen when she's in full flow.

Well.Dazzle -I agree strongly with your comments
about Mary ( and Eva)
And of course Parkermans comments about local
elections are based on actual knowledge!

Re Sally -not decided -Jennys involvement clouds
things??

The only point of Jenny is to be "nasty"!
Unfortunately she has not progressed beyond her
first stint as a teenager in Corrie. She is meant to
be a40+ woman but the acting/ writing does not
reflect that.

And I do wish they would not" tag tragedies" onto
unpleasant characters to try to redeem them!
Imo- it doesnt work and insults those who have
experienced such a tragedy.Especially when acting
poo

So all set for more more glossing over parts with.
Jenny being predictably boring-but thats my
choice!
Perhaps Kevin is the one with sense on this occasion-
He sees her for what she is and realises theres no
point in invoolvement?
