And hopefully tod will win. Poor Sean, he makes me cry. He's always been such a good guy and friend to everyone...

[livden]

NOT happy with today's two episodes. Who thought it was a good idea to have self pitying Sean be the centre of attention? He was truly insufferable. I know the writers wanted us to feel sorry for him, but it turned me off him even more than ever. Ugh. If he had actually bothered to listen to Todd and hear his side of the story instead of yelling at him and shaming him, then maybe I would have felt different about him. And what's with Todd rejecting Billy in the flower shop?! WTF?! Is this gonna be a thing now? Is he just gonna reject Billy every time he's upset? Why won't Todd let Billy be there for him? Todd was there for Billy. I feel like the writers are determined to make Todd a bad guy, someone nobody can love, not even Eileen. Speaking of.. why didn't Eileen defend Todd? I felt like she was shaming him and she was more on Sean's side? Todd has been terrible to her, I get it. But to get this treatment by his own mother.. WTF?! In this case he did nothing wrong. Todd and Billy never cheated on him, yet she's still on Sean's side? Ok then. Even when Todd does everything right everyone still hates him. Is is weird he turned out the way he did? Ugh. Whatever I'll shut up now. I'm just so incredibly disappointed after so many good weeks they manage to ruin it all in one day smh.

Seriously? Sean is a self obsessed narcissistic freak. Not once did he ask Todd what he felt. He made it all about himself. Self pitying doesn't look good on anyone, let alone Sean. Two whole episodes of Sean feeling sorry for himself was nauseating.

I find it hard to feel sorry for Sean as he can be very annoying

I do think Billy should have stayed away from Eileen's house as Sean lived there until some weeks had past at least for him to try to come to terms of his relationship now with Todd

I liked the scene between Gary and Sarah, they is potential there for them as a future couple

Nick is also annoying trying to get one over on Robert and pursuing Leanne, his brother is grieving for his murdered wife but he is more worried of punishing Robert I don't want him back with Leanne now

Phelan stirs and Eileen abides, she is so taken in by him but at least Todd isn't

[flappinfanny]

Has King Phelan met his match? I think he may have with Todd. Although I suspect Coronation St will string it out for as long as possible. He is such good vile character, but in a likeable way, you just want Eileen to be robbed blind of that money.

And don't get me started on Sean, I probably would have an ounce of sympathy if it wasn't for Anthony Cottons performance.

I'm already thoroughly enjoying their battle of wills. The final scene where Phelan's smug grin turned to a worried frown as soon as he turned his back on Todd made me laugh.

I don't think Phelan's got any chance of driving Todd out and leaving his mother completely at the fiend's mercy.

...why didn't Eileen defend Todd? I felt like she was shaming him and she was more on Sean's side?

Eileen is angry with Todd but she chose him over Sean (which is why the latter moved out). I know Todd didn't steal Billy (as Sean keeps repeating), but it's not nice to start a relationship with the ex of a friend - particularly such a recent ex. You know I like the Todd/Billy pairing but it would have been kinder of them to wait a few months before starting seeing each other. I understand people's anger even though I'm on their side.

Also, Todd has done himself no favours with his past behaviour. It's his own fault that people judge him harshly - and he knows it. It doesn't stop him from currently being my favourite character though.

[mariba]

I really don't understand people's negative views about Sean. Yes, at times he can be annoying (like any of us!), but he's never done anything to hurt anyone and always been friend to anyone who has needed one. All I'm saying is that he doesn't deserve this. And I think he was very good acting his part, I could really feel his pain. What made it worse for him, was probably the fact, that they've always been so close with Todd.. I think his reaction to Eileen not telling him earlier was bit ott but it was needed for him to move out for now so that this battle between Todd and phelan can start.. I do like Todd as well, he's softened slightly since he came back, which makes him more likeable,but he's clever too which I like about him. But just wait and see, Todd will lose interest on billy very soon. He just takes what belongs to someone else for the fun of it.

[LouiseP]

Totally agree about Sean. I have never understood why people dislike him so much . He is what he is. His acting this week has actually been good and very believable.

[mariba]

Nick is also annoying trying to get one over on Robert and pursuing Leanne, his brother is grieving for his murdered wife but he is more worried of punishing Robert I don't want him back with Leanne now

I've always liked (read: loved ) Nick!!! Can't wait that he opens his new bistro!!! ��
