Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[alcapo11]

Tina Obrien said in an interview that Sarah will have frequent visions and flashbacks of Cllum, she is also watched by someone at his funeral and Bethany receives gifts from a "secret admirer". Gemma did tell David to watch his back, so maybe Callums mate are the ones behind it but I think it would be a good twist if it turned put to be Callum himself. I have a feeling that the police will eventually question Denton to then find out that he is also missing. So the police might assume that he has ran away because he was the one who done it. When really its his body that has been misidentified as Callum.

Yeah its a pretty rubbish theory but I would prefer this to happen than someone simply getting arrested for it and then thats that.

I can imagine David sending the presents as he is trying to blame Jason for the murder at the moment

How would that help put Jason in the frame?

Sarah is clearly unwell. The man she thought was Callum in yesterday's episode looked nothing like him when I paused the shot. It was just a tall man with dark hair dressed similarly to Callum.

It's also a known psychological phenomenon that people who are grieving often see their deceased loved one's face in a crowd. I experienced this myself repeatedly when my father died and it was very unnerving. I imagine that Sarah, although not exactly grief-stricken, is experiencing something similar due to stress and trauma.

As I've explained before, misidentification is highly unlikely with today's science. Even if there hasn't yet been a definitive DNA identification, the pathologist will have been able to say whether or not the body is the same height, body shape, hair colour, age etc as Callum. Denton looked nothing like him.

Yeah but we dodnt know what state the body is in, it has been recently run over. Im sure they could try to explain it in some way, it is soapland after all.

They can still get around that although it would take longer and perhaps more expertise than a local pathologist.

Anyway, the body wasn't run over. The concrete and metal cover over the manhole were broken under the weight of the vehicle and the wheel sank into the hole a little, that's all. I doubt if the body was significantly damaged. The police would have already said if ID would be difficult due to damage caused by the truck. All that was mentioned was decomposition.

Bearing in mind that this is a soap its perfectly feasible that the body is not Callum. David dumps body of Callum whom he presumes is dead. Callum wakes up in hole in Gails boudoir. Crawls out of hole and kills one of his druggie pals and dumps him in hole along with his plastic card. If the body is badly decomposed there may not be any prints but DNA identification will prove who it actually is. No mention has been made of this by the polis who of course are stilll at the scene

He was wrapped tightly in a blanket, which he'd have had to wriggle his way out of in a tiny space with a serious head injury. It surely wouldn't be worth the risk of returning to the scene afterwards with a dead body in tow?

Also, even without a DNA identification, they'll know by now that the body was very tall and thin with black hair. Denton was bald and chubby if I remember correctly; it would be a huge coincidence if Callum killed someone as unusually tall and thin as himself.

I know I'm making a big assumption here that the police investigating Callum's death aren't quite as inept as some we've seen in soap, but I really can't see how it's feasible now that it wasn't Callum in the hole if they want the story to have some semblance of reality.

I hope Corrie doesn't disappoint me here...
