Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Perhaps Peter's turned to drugs instead of alcohol which is why he mixed those two particular metaphors.

Well, off the wagon with alcohol or drugs, time will tell. I'm as high as a kite with anticipation already.

I also was thinking is Peter's return linked to Toyah's return, is she the one addicted now and he is helping her

I thought Caz had shopped Maria to the immigration department, what happened over that?
Surprised to see Sharif in Monday's episode, I thought his pre-recorded scenes had been taken out, hence the stupid footballer sketch.

When the scandal first broke, Corrie's press release stated they would cut Sharif's scenes as much as possible. Since the storyline was completely dropped soon afterwards I'm guessing we haven't seen a big chunk of what was filmed, but the Corrie bosses have obviously decided to bring the storyline to a conclusion rather than have it just finish off screen (which I think was probably a wise choice).

[Snagglepus]

So was Sharif sacked immediately or did they keep him on to film his leaving scenes or were these scenes already filmed as that was the original plot and he was leaving anyway?

The actor was sacked immediately. The affair revelation scenes had already been filmed but Sharif hadn't left so they'll have no choice but to have him disappear off screen in some way.

i thought anna's legs were badly burnt

[parkerman]

Was that supposed to be the first time Anna came round after her sedation and intubation? If so, where were the doctors and nurses? They wouldn't have just left her to come round on her own, it doesn't work like that!

Line of the night went to David:-

"I won't be doing any more mobile BBQ's if that's what you're worrying about."

[Snagglepus]

Last night I heard Kirk say that Maria and Pablo are off the hook. Again I seem to have missed this storyline as I can't remember any of what happened after Caz called immigration services.
It looks like I will have to trawl back through the iPlayer to find what I have missed although I am sure I have watched every episode.
