The footballer sketch was embarrassing, expected from the pint pulling buffoon with the stupid face pulling but not from Tim.

So there's this star footballer, voted best footballer for three years, marrying a Caribbean model and they go to Michelle to plan their wedding!

Right!

Steve and Tim were really cringeworthy in those scenes (unfortunately it appears that buffoon Steve brings Tim down to his level) but I thought the actor playing the footballer was very good. He should be brought back as a permanent character.

Right!

Exactly what I thought, and to make it even more unlikely he had to go out of his way to come to the Rovers rather than her visit his home!

I wouldn't have thought an old-fashioned back street pub would be the image a wannabe sophisticated wedding planner would want to project.

Who works her business out of a pub

The Sarah Louise part of this storyline is particularly nonsensical. How she'll pay the rest of what she thinks she's going to owe on the flat doesn't appear to have occurred to her. As a single mother of two and part-time barmaid I'd have thought her likelihood of getting a mortgage to cover it is very low.

I don't know anything about this so might be talking complete rubbish (not unusual for me ) but perhaps Vinny would have borrowed most of the money to buy the dilapidated building (which of course he'd have no intention of repaying) or there may be other investors on board expecting to make a killing when the flats are sold.

Sean has two jobs and still lives as a lodger now of Norris

There was a footballer shown going in pound land not long ago cannot remember who it was. Papers went a bit crazy reporting it. Some people are still careful with money even when they make it rich. I hear J K Rowling regularly gets the bus.

And why did the press go a bit crazy?

John Terry and Frank Lampard. They are too rich to go to these shops apparently

All this football mullarkey is a load of old tosh and its not even funny. Nice bit of free advertising for the BBC and Strictly for Saturday from Norris. 7.

I suppose the best thing you can say about Corrie at the mo is, it is a harmless easy watch and the 22 minute episodes do go quite quickly, its not too taxing, which is what you want at 7:30, on a dark autumn evening.

I think Corrie's pretty good at the moment (football malarkey aside ). I'm finding both the effect of Kylie's murder on David and the flat scam storyline compelling.

I'm very glad that my fears that Kate Oates is trying to soften Phelan don't appear to have been borne out. He's obviously intending to abscond with Vinny and all the money, leaving the Grimshaws broke. I suppose he still has time to redeem himself however...
