Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[RogerOver]

Steve, talking to his mum about if Michelle found out about his baby with Leanne: "She'd be out that door quicker than a duck can trot."
Just how fast can a duck "trot"? Surely that's horses. I thought ducks waddled.

I also noticed Steve using the phrase "Tickety-boo", which I haven't heard for years. Is it making a comeback, or just a script-writers bit of fun inserting it in the dialogue?

steve needed a quiet drink after michelle break up so instead of his own pub or bistro he went to leanne not a mate like dev or tim who home brews #confused #makingzerosense

Leading up to the mystery man at the door episode, Steve had said to Leanne that Amy had still got Simon's calculator, and that he'd drop it round - that explains why he went to the flat, and boy did he get a hell of a thank you!

Simon's maths and accounting must be very important to Leanne

Knock knock....or ring ring....Leanne answers door, "Oh, hello Steve." Steve: "Hi, I've just brought back Simon's calculator." Leanne: "Oh, OK, thanks Steve." Steve: "No problem. Bye." So far so good and seems quite plausible. However....

Leanne: "Hang on a minute Steve, I'm just going to take my clothes off, would you like to come in?"

Hmmmm......

I'm in the minority but I'm quite enjoying the Leanne pregnancy storyline. It'll be good to see Leanne with a baby, and I think bringing her and Steve closer is an interesting choice. The way it's been set up was very contrived and poorly written, but I'm finding the fallout very watchable so far.

It helps that Jane Danson is a good actress so episodes that focus on Leanne are almost always some of the better ones. One thing I wish is that Simon Gregson would tone down Steve's clownish ways and ridiculous face pulling during serious scenes because I find it very jarring. Simon's proved he's a capable actor so there's no need for it.

Anyone notice that Michelle was yet again told how lucky Steve is to have her during Monday's episodes (this time by Leanne)? It's getting beyone a joke now!
