Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I could'nt understand why Kylie and David were treating Beth like that. She has suffereddue to their carelessness. If i were Beth i would have said wait to hear from my solicitor after their attitude.
I thought that when police were draggng off simon on his own. That is not proper procedure i am sure. She should have gone with them rather than act as if she was about to wave them off. I think they should try and create some reality by adhering to proper procedures never mind their daft storylines. I think they think we are brainless.....

Simon is a really bad actor, I do wish they would not give him such prominent roles. He needs to go to acting school. In our house we want him to be sent down for 20 years lol

As I commented a few pages back, I have experience of an angry nightmare of a teenager and Alex Bain's portrayal is very authentic. OK, he overacts sometimes, but as Leanne said: "He's just a kid".

Welcome to SoapBoards by the way!

3. Why was Nick so concerned about an Evironmental Health inspection?

I was thinking that! What had he got to hide I wonder? Maybe last night's rat droppings had yet to be cleaned up...

4. Izzy seems to have suddenly become much worse. No sign of this acute pain before. Why doesn't she go back to her doctor and tell him/her that the pain is worse and see what they can do?

It got worse when she fell out of her wheelchair and dislocated her hip last week. I supposed she'd already been told she's on the maximum dose and been refused more? I don't think she could have worked in that state in reality.

5. This Sally story is just complete nonsense and totally ridiculous.

Agreed. I guess we're meant to be finding it funny and in theory it ought to be. I'm not sure why it's not working...

They were out of order, but in their defence they'd witnessed Beth being extremely rude to Nick. However, they should have treated her with kid gloves for Audrey's sake if nothing else.

Beth while being the injured party seemed set on destroying others lives over it. In real life she would be barred from all hairdressers and eatery's in the area. Yes it was Davids fault but dont mess with the lady who has already offt her ex and he is now rotting under Gails bed.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that. I don't think the doctor would refuse to help any more though. Do we know if she has been referred to the pain clinic at any time?

Agreed. I guess we're meant to be finding it funny and in theory it ought to be. I'm not sure why it's not working...

I was wondering if it's because I have been involved in more Council elections and by-elections as a candidate and agent than I care to remember that I find the whole thing quite irritating, so I'm glad you don't think it's working either, Dazzle.

What will be even worse is if she actually wins!!!!

Police dragging Simon into the car???! Unbelievable!
He's only 12-and really not THAT bad..! Surely it would have been handled with child protection services, not physically like that??!
There should have been a conversation where they would have explained the situation to Simon and they could have taken him in for questioning themselves. Frightening enough for most 12 year olds, including Simon.
Really unrealistic scenes. Maybe in America, but not here..

Not that I can remember. I doubt the scriptwriters have thought that deeply about pain management.

I've no doubt you're finding it a lot more irritating than I am since you're an expert on council elections. The detail is going over my head to be absolutely honest (so I'm glad we have you to point out errors ), but the personal side isn't working for me.

Perhaps the writers don't know whether to treat the storyline seriously or as a comedy? I'm finding her too ignorant and bigheaded to be funny. I agree that she'll be unbearable if she actually wins!

I know Corrie is pile of pony right now, but there are lighter moments, little gems that make me smile. Well every scene with Jack P Shepherd. His face made me howl when he was talking about Beth and her hair do. Love, love, love David.

I'm a fan too. Jack always kills the one-liners and I enjoy the character of David whether he's in jester, loving father or psycho mode (and everything in between). One of the few actors on Corrie who can overcome bad writing.

carla very reliant on the painkillers, another addiction for her but at least alcohol addiction under control
