Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

Episodes that yet again relied on a great many coincidences to drive the storylines (for example, Brian overhearing the meeting between Roy and the prospective buyer, Brian just happening to meet Cathy in the street straight afterwards, Adam overhearing the discussion about Johnny retiring, Eva being late for the prison visit).

There were a couple of lines that made me laugh solely due to the great acting: the way Roy scornful spat out "Councillor" to Sally during his rant in the pub, and the highly exaggerated way Phelan demanded of Andy "Are you thick?".

Its too complicated for me, Mike was the one that squeezed out Adam not a Connor and Peters only investment was with Carla. but their marriage was too short for him to be able to claim anything off her plus he was sleeping around on the night of their wedding. But the factory was owned by that scotish murderer bloke before this lot of new got involved???

Peter did legally own half the factory in his own right at one point because Carla signed half over to him during their marriage. He gave his share back when the marriage broke down.

What are the scriptwriters on and who dreamed up that story of Peter and Adam owning shares in the factory and being diddled out of them. Ridiculous. Has Peter or Adam got the money to fight this ?

It's not like me to defend Corrie recently but Adam did say something to the effect that he had no intention of suing the Connors and that he was just trying to scare some money out of them.

Whatever happened to Adam being a solicitor? I wonder if he's been disbarred because he's obviously a crooked as they come?

That's what i thought. Why do they want to keep cathy on the street now. Does not make sense

[Dazzle]

I don't mind Cathy staying on the street as long as they have plans for her other than getting her back with Roy. I like them as friends: her kindness to him tonight reminded me why I thought Cathy was a good character at first (before she was turned bitter and annoying).

I'm amazed to say that I thought there was an improvement in Aidan tonight. He seemed more animated than usual (which isn't difficult to be fair ).

How sleazy that Peter's got Simon covering for his liaisons with Toyah. That's going to end well...

Re Shane Ward, I rekon someones given him the heads up about, if he dosent remove the wood stick from his seating area he will be back on This Morning announcing the call in competition faster than he could say Eamon your the daddy.

Cathy aka Sharpes ex wife is annoying me, I know she was in debt when she met Roy but what hapend to the house she owned and how did Alex manage to afford a new flat?

Yeah Simon is being used again by his non caring pap to cover nookie with a lady he shouldnt be nookieing... It is nice to see Toyah back, I missed the actress when she left Casualty on the Beeb

I think I said a few times before but Aidan and Alya would make a good couple, they have loss of a parent in common and their scenes show chemistry

Johnny did right dumping Jenny, she is vindictive and destructive but Sally plays her so well

I am glad Johnny isn't retiring as Aidan cannot manage the factory on his own or fight the Barlows

The Cathy, Roy and Brian scenes were nice

I liked that Sylvia was mentioned and it would be great to have her back

There was a brief mention of tenants in Cathy's house a few weeks back to explain why she's living with Yasmeen. I thought that level of detail was quite impressive* for Corrie (who usually ignore the fine print).

Alex might possibly be living in some kind of supported social housing?

* My expectations being set very low here you understand.

Jenny's over-the-top evil expression when crossed makes me laugh. I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her. She's scarier than Phelan any day!

I liked that Sylvia was mentioned and it would be great to have her back

Sylvia was superb.

did alex and cathy also buy one of the scam flats from eileen and phelan
