Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

The worst thing for me about the lion costume debacle was how contrived it was. When has Audrey ever mentioned am-dram before or had what I presume were her am-dram friends in the salon? If the writers really wanted Maria in an embarrassing costume (why???) she could have popped into town to get something rather than invent a cringeworthy and unbelievable backstory to explain it being available in the salon.

The sad thing is I like Luke and think he's a good actor. He needs a decent storyline.

Also, is any community that unsympathetic and ignorant about chronic pain sufferers using cannabis? It's not exactly unheard of and is even legal in some US states. You'd think Izzy was a junkie the way that harpy Anna was carrying on!

I was surprised Gary can be done for being a dealer for buying a small amount of cannabis for Izzy, so I suppose that was a good fact to highlight (I'm assuming it's true).

Agree that it is such a daft storyline. We only keep watching as we are loyal coronation street fans not because the storylines are gripping

And so we can chat on here about it.

Could hardly contain my euphoria when Izzy looked like getting sacked but it was cruelly taken from me. Cruel, oh so cruel.

I'm finding Anna's attitude to Izzy taking drugs for her pain very condescending

I agree, the telling pause before the boy called him "dad" and the hastily handed over cash gave it away.

Yes, she's so nasty and judgmental, and totally unsympathetic to Izzy's chronic pain (which is the part I find hardest to understand).

Nick's head injury recurrence and its possible effect on his relationship with Carla is far more interesting than the latter's boring feud with Tracy. I don't know much about brain injuries but I wonder if they can be worsened by stress? If so, selling his beloved bistro (which must have felt to Nick like losing a part of himself) could be the cause of his declining health.

Audrey's touching words to Gail were enjoyable and made a nice change from the almost constant arguing which is the mainstay of soaps. I found it amusing to be reminded what a "flighty piece" Audrey once was.

Although Freddie's not fat, I do wonder if he has a cat?
