Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[parkerman]

I'm with you, Dazzle. Even for a soap it would be totally beyond belief if the body wasn't Callum's. We really would have left all sense of reality behind and be into a complete fantasy world.

[alan45]

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...

I didnt say it was a likely scenario just a way of keeping Callum in it. As you say some soap police are inept. What about the headless body that was identified in the Walford Canal and later the soap police were proved wrong

That was EE! Plus Sharon identified the body after it had been in the canal for nine months or some such. I'm surprised the police let her look at what was left after that long in the water...

Of course, forensic techniques known to anyone who's watched an episode of CSI can be ignored by the Corrie team if they so wish but they're going to lose all credibility if they do so. Callum wasn't a popular character with fans so it doesn't seem worth it to me. I suppose I might be more convinced if it was an important and well liked character who was killed and buried in Gail's manhole...

Why is everyone so stupid on the street? Why isn't anyone thinking straight away that they could blame tony for the murder??

[Dazzle]

One of the highlights of the Callum storyline for me is that Todd and Billy have been dragged into it. I found their scenes discussing whether Sarah murdered Callum compelling and very convincing.

I feel like an idiot not to have realised the uncharacteristically helpful Phelan was behind the theft of Norris' roof. It's so very obvious with hindsight...

You must be slowing up. To me it was obvious from the start

How could she identfy a headless body. Oh wait !!!!! They only mentioned it was headless when they wanted to bring back Den LOL

Yes, I was very slow not to understand what was happening...

LOL...I can't remember the headless part but that sounds about right for EE!
