Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

I thought Mary was good too, although I don't know how Jude can stay in the show after this as any credibility he might have had is now gone. He even persisted in his lie about saving Roy when Angie and Mary confronted him. And trying to steal George was pathetic too, especially as he took nothing with him (nappies, bottles, etc) that he might need. I'm glad Roy went after him although I would have liked to have seen how Roy managed to persuade him to hand over George.
The whole Good Samaritan ceremony felt a bit contrived - why was it held in a restaurant? Are there literally no other buildings in Weatherfield that they could use, or was it just an excuse to keep everything within the usual set? I found myself wishing that hospital volunteer would win instead...

Yes, I hope that they are going to explain how Roy managed to get Jude to hand over George. It seems highly unlikely to me the way Jude was acting.

Also, in the real world, the hospital volunteer would have won hands down for an award like that. Continuous service would win out over a one-off.

And also agreed, Speed Daal seems a high unlikely place for an award like that. It's like Sally being elected mayor on the strength of votes from people who live in Coronation Street. How big is Weatherfield that everything centres around that street!?
