Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Perdita]

I need the show needs a flashback episode

You would not see much ... Leanne had a glass of wine ... then someone at the door .. next time she is seen closing the door on someone looking rather pensive ... was not looking drunk and sure was not staggering around ...

I love how Coronation Street had that wonderful cute date and then hotel room scene in one day and then managed to ruin it with spoilers the next. HAHAHAHAHA. Brilliant.

I think Gary and Sarah could be a good couple

Lol at all the complaints the hotel room scene got. It wasn't even that raunchy. It was tame. And come on... how lame was it that they didn't show them in bed together before or after having sex in yesterday's episode? They barely even implied that sex had happened. All we got to see was a kiss, not even undressing each other. LAME. I get that they can't piss off too many of the homophobes, but ugh. I still wish they could have shown more. Sian and Sophie had a much more explicit sex scene. But since they're lesbians I guess that's ok, because ya know.. it's HOT! I bet they didn't get complaints either. But since Todd and Billy are gay men a sex scene is not allowed for them, just pathetic and sad.

I agree Gary and Sarah suit each other

[livden]

Ugh.. Billy for once wasn't good with his words, Todd overreacted and stormed out, like he always does. Truth is Billy had a point, it was way too soon for Todd to move in. Billy had good reasons for Todd not to move in (both church reasons and personal reasons), yet Todd didn't want to listen to him, he was just offended. I get that he was really hurt by Billy supposedly downplaying their relationship (even though I don't think he meant it that way). This relationship is clearly very important to Todd, he cares a lot about Billy. But the thing is, Billy feels the same, I don't understand why Todd just assumed Billy wasn't serious about them? Like this was just some casual thing? Anyway, Todd needs to stop overreacting and instead actually listen to his partner. This relationship is doomed if he doesn't actually talk about these issues with Billy. Communication is key.

The adrenaline rush of a romp with the legendary mister super sperm himself must have cleared her head quick smart!


I'm catching up with Corrie at the moment and have just watched the scenes in the hotel between Billy and Todd (about which there's been a bit of an uproar). It was a bit full on for a soap - but not because it was between two men. Any kind of making out/sex scene in soaps always make me cringe, but the very worst I can remember in Corrie were the many nauseating and prolonged bedroom scenes between Peter and Tina. I can't remember there being complaints to Ofcom about them!


Yet again I'm going to go against popular opinion here and admit I enjoyed the confrontation between Nick and Steve. The former is definitely being controlling and I'd be rethinking the relationship after that if I was Leanne. I do have a little sympathy for Nick because yet again he's been lied to by a woman with whom he's in love, but that doesn't excuse his behaviour. I've got absolutely no sympathy with spineless Steve at the moment though!

Has anyone else noticed Michelle has become a much warmer character very recently? She actually appears to me to be genuinely fond of Steve for the first time (I've never found her love for him convincing in the past). I'm guessing this is Kate Oates' doing.

She is pregnant, her hormones have changed

They were just making out on a bed, that's it. Them having sex happened off screen (probably to not piss off the homophobes). They could have at least shown them in bad after the deed or something, I was disappointed with it.

Well I knew you'd be disappointed! Sex always happens off screen in soaps anyway.

My point is I'd prefer the soaps to stay away from making out scenes, on a bed or otherwise. Strangely enough, I don't mind quite graphic sex scenes (straight, gay or other) in more "adult" drama/films (and no, I'm not talking about porn ), but anything from close ups of people eating each others faces onwards feels to me to be out of place and embarassing in soaps.
