Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

It struck me as odd that Sarah had what appeared to be a routine scan so late in her pregnancy. Normal ultrasound scans are done at about 12 and 20 weeks, and it's at the latter one that the baby's sex is usually identified.

Of course, Sarah didn't realise she was pregnant until about 20 weeks, but from the experience of someone I know, the routine scans are still done as close to the usual time as possible in those circumstances and not left until many months later.

Yes she looks ready for the labour ward for sure

sometimes a 36 week scan if there are any concerns?

No concerns were mentioned though, which is why it struck me as strange. Also, she was asked if she wanted to know the sex of the baby as if it was the first time she'd been asked.

Well that was pretty ropy for even CS. Les Dennis is terrible as Michael, I have tried to get on with him, but he cannot act and the scripts are awful and it's embarrassing to watch. Also the scenes with the election in Roy's was over the top even for CS. When did CS lose the ability to be funny?

The only decent scenes were with Eva, Billy and Marta.

I felt almost the complete opposite to you about Monday's episodes!

I do agree about the Michael/Phelan thread. Similar scenes have been played out almost word for word so many time over the past few years in Corrie that it's beyond a joke. How can a storyline be both boring and frustrating at the same time?

As for the rest, I thought the scripts were excellent and full of amusing details and lines that had me chortling. Sally's speech at the end was admittedly more cringeworthy than rousing, but I think it would have been entertaining given some rehearsal (we know soap actors get little to no rehearsal time because of the rate episodes are churned out nowadays).

The Marta storyline has taken a very sinister turn. Billy obviously wasn't happy to leave her, so I hope he checks up on her soon.

Him and his hair made me laugh.

Nice scenes of the Platts playing happy families at the bistro. Am I correct in sensing that was the calm before the inevitable storm...
