Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

Imagine if Sally wins the by-election and Tracy manages to get her greasy mitts on the bistro. Corrie's going to be totally unwatchable!

Even if that doesn't happen, I don't think I can bear another few months of Tracy smirking and gloating, and Carla alternating between cowering from the Tracy and ruthlessly manipulating her faithful sidekick Nick to save her own skin. Alison King is phoning in her performance and Kate Ford hamming it up more than ever. It really is completely dire...

Unlike parkerman, I don't have an Alya to drool over to keep me glued to the screen...

The only positive tonight is we did at least get a believable sounding explanation of why Izzy's so desperate for cannabis for her pain instead of taking prescribed medication.

No matter what storyline they give Anna i hate her. Her antics make her so unattractive. I should have sympathy for her regarding Phelan but i think she should have told Kevin everything in the first place. Now shes mistreating him when he was not part of it all and does not know the story. They will get them back together but i cant bear their lovey dovey scenes

Anna's a victim of abuse (perhaps even rape according to someone knowledgeable on another forum) so her overriding feelings are bound to be guilt and shame. It's very natural that she's desperate to keep the whole sordid incident with Phelan quiet.

I dislike her myself, and I've found her nearly as unwatchable as Tracy recently, but I understand her not getting back with Kevin. He took her word over the man who abused her, something I imagine would be extremely hard to forgive despite him not knowing all the facts. What he did know was that Phelan bankrupted her family and his mere presence was enough to send Anna into extreme anxiety, yet he still sided with Phelan. Kevin's no innocent in this.

We know they'll get back together anyway. Corrie's nothing if not predictable. I can't bear their lovey dovey scenes either.

Apart from Alya, there is one other thing that keeps me watching and that is Jack P. Shepherd delivering David's one liners. Sometimes they are worth a whole episode of the dire Kate Ford and Tracy....

Agree with Dazzle re Anna. I wish they would get rid of her character though. Plus get rid of sinead as well this modelling storyline is really getting on my nerves because i have to hear more of her voice. Actually they may have plans to get rid of her through this storyline as i cannot see why else they would do this. Simons money should not. Be invested without him having a say. Hes old enough to be consulted, plus things not great with his mum and who knows where he will end up ( portsmouth). Plus bad time to invest in businesses

Chesney should go with her. He's got no personality and the acting is mediocre at best I'm afraid.

I agree, he is certainly the jewel in Corrie's crown. That quip about the baseball bat at Anna had me howling.

I wonder when Queen Kate gets her feet under the table whether she will have the guts to axe the dead wood?
