Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

Haven't seen tonights episode yet, but good on Robert for standing up to that selfish nasty cow Michelle. The way she just walked in and said "You're no longer needed". I hope he fights her all the way and she doesn't get any of the bistro. She really is toxic.

Without Robert who is the chef there?

Peter is making it worse for Carla, he is also ruining what was left of her relationship with Roy

Nick is a nasty bully

Did Daniel ask Chesney and Tracy to be Bertie's godparents?

Don't expect reason from the witch Michelle, she's just to be on her constant high horse being nasty to anyone she wants to.

Exactly right, SoC. Last night's episode was even worse. And why hasn't Imran been arrested for threatening behaviour and trying to pervert the course of justice by intimidating an H&S officer?

I think the time is fast approaching when Corrie and I shall be parting ways....

Why did the soap police arrive with blues and twos to arrest Carla?

Soap police nearly always arrive with 'Blues and Twos' they obviously think it adds drama rather than distract from reality.

Don't give up yet Parkerman, I keep hoping things will get better. Going back to 3 or 4 episodes a week would help but I don't think that will happen. - On the bright side Brian being back added some humour.

On the bright side Brian being back added some humour.

Too right SOC! Brian is the one saving grace in Corrie at the moment - whether it's his jealousy of Wayne (helping Roy solve the ring mystery) or giving Paul an Eric Morecambe two handed face slap and sending him on his paper round with the words "start spreading the news", he steals every scene he's in, and provides much needed comedic relief. Following on from his skilful portrayal of the victim in the recent bullying storyline, it is clear that Peter Gunn is a very talented actor and worthy of awards, when they're next handed out. Brian and Mary are probably the only characters that I give a toss about at the moment, following the character changes and all consuming anger referred to by Parkerman and others above. Most episodes these days fall into the category of "well, that's half an hour of my life I'll never get back!"

Did anyone else feel annoyed with Roy in last night's episode? It feels very out of character for him, considering all he's forgiven Carla for in the past and the many times he's defended and helped her when few people would. (the Victoria Court fire, for example)
And although Carla has indeed "leaned on him" as she said herself, it hasn't been completely one sided. She supported him on Hayley's anniversary, tried to be there for him when his mother died (even though he claimed he was fine), helped him sort through Sylvia's many possessions and led him back home when he was sleepwalking. Yet he doesn't seem to have remembered any of that.
I'm not condoning Carla's actions but I think she has really needed Roy's no-nonsense support in the last few weeks.
