Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Surely Bethany should still have some of the text messages she got from Lauren and maybe others to prove the bullying to the Headmaster ... and has Sarah forgotten she went to Lauren´s home to complain to her mother about Bethany being bullied???

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.

I never said I expected the ACTUAL sex to happen on screen. I just wanted them to imply sex more than they did. I wanted them to kiss on a bed while undressing then maybe see them together again in bed, or getting dressed, the day after. That's it. But they couldn't even show that. I found it lame, especially considering the lesbians on this show got a scene like that but of course not the gay men. It's hypocritical.

I disagree with you about close ups of kissing etc. I think it's good, especially to see the gay couple being treated the same when it comes to affection, kissing etc as the straight couples. I still think it was a cop out to not show them before or after having sex, but that's a minor pet peeve. Corrie has been so good with everything else about this relationship, so I'm not too bothered.

Equality is definitely the most important thing.

Is that a posh Vicarage or what? I thought the parish of Weatherfield was meant to be a rundown area. That Vicarage looked like it was in a right affluent area.

Glad Damian David is back, loved what he did to Lauren and next on his list is ...................

Bit of a cheek of Nick to demand Steve to move away ... why doesn´t he move with Leanne to avoid Steve watching his child with Leanne grow up

I didn't personally have a problem with the way Nick treated Steve (despite the latter usually being my favourite character of the two). Nick's situation was already difficult before Leanne admitted her lie, and I'd expect someone like him who's prone to mood swings to not behave altogether rationally in such a stressful situation.

Also, I suspect he didn't really expect Steve to up sticks but just wanted to put the frighteners on him and prove that he wouldn't hesitate to ruin him in a heartbeat if he went back on his word to stay away from Leanne's baby. I fully understand that Nick needs to feel secure in the knowledge that Steve won't come along one day and take away the child he's bonded with as his own.

However, if I were Leanne, I'd have to give second thoughts to committing to someone so unstable and controlling - especially with a baby on the way.

I'm kind of disappointed that since the pair's romantic reunion on the bus they've barely exchanged an affectionate word. I hope their relationship is steadier now Nick is in on (and appears to have accepted) all the secrets - but then happy relationships don't last long in soaps!

I hope that is the last of Lauren as I am sick of this story now. I would like Bethany getting back to normal.
