Coronation Street: Gloria! [Ep chat]

[MTVN]

Yeah I have questioned Norris being so close with her after what she put him through. Although I seem to remember both Rita and Emily telling Norris it was all in his head.

I don't care though because I think they work so well together.


Mary doesn't have to speak sometimes & she makes me laugh with her facial expressions.

Yeah he seems to have just accepted that I guess, but I still find it a bit strange, I do quite like the comedy of that group though; Mary and all the old biddies, they're great

[bbfan1991]

I think it's the mother who does it. Not sure if it's actual murder or self defense. I never thought about your theory that she could shove Peter/Carla or Kevin in the frame though. That sounds exciting, especially if she can plant some evidence on any of them.

I think it will probably be murder but it might be self defense, although I cannot see Frank attacking his mother.

[bbfan1991]

Dennis annoys me for some reason now, liked him when he first arrived and i've never liked Emily...

Audrey has always been underrated from the older clan;).

[Visage]

It'll be so Frank thinks he gets away with it but he'll have his just deserts when he didn't expect it.

I think Anne will then try and blame Carla/Peter or maybe Kevin for the crime, who is jealous of Sally getting close to Frank but can see that his Sal is being used;).

I think it will probably be murder but it might be self defense, although I cannot see Frank attacking his mother.

We saw a glimpse of something very strange between him and his mother a while back. There was a point where I thought maybe she knows the 'real' Frank.

[Visage]

Yeah he seems to have just accepted that I guess, but I still find it a bit strange, I do quite like the comedy of that group though; Mary and all the old biddies, they're great

I love this group, it's something I think Corrie is brilliant at. Right from the 60s they've always had this 'older generation coming together and gossiping about their neighbours.

[Visage]

Dennis annoys me for some reason now, liked him when he first arrived and i've never liked Emily...

Audrey has always been underrated from the older clan;).

I've always felt Emily is the weakest character in this group, but I don't think they give her as many story-lines.

I would like to see Audrey get more stories with group

[Niamh.]

Well apparently

Once he is found not guilty he works more on Sally until he attempts to rape. (I'm not sure if it goes all the way) Then he is found dead, suspected murdered. Kevin is the first suspect after it emerges he rapes (or attempts) Sally.

I think they are going to run a 'who-done-it' plot.

So the rumours say...

hhmmmm

I thought him and sally were already at it anyway

[Scarlett.]

Dennis annoys me for some reason now, liked him when he first arrived and i've never liked Emily...

I love Dennis and Emily, I hope Rita and Dennis marry this year =D

Audrey has some good stuff coming up with Lewis returning

[bbfan1991]

Eww Lewis, it helps I don't like Nigel Havers either:joker:.

[Visage]

hhmmmm

I thought him and sally were already at it anyway

Well.........


They are......


But ........


It didn't stop him raping Carla

[Visage]

Audrey has some good stuff coming up with Lewis returning

Eww Lewis, it helps I don't like Nigel Havers either:joker:.

I honestly can not figure out why he comes back and moreso why Audrey would have anything to do with him.





That said, I'm looking forward to finding out :D

[Scarlett.]

He doesn't neccesarily come back to the street when he first returns ;)

[Scarlett.]

Ohh tonights Corrie is G-Rated on the ITV Player D:

[bbfan1991]

I don't like Leanne but how devastating to find out about Peter and Carla that way and Stella finds out about the car accident on Friday:eek:.

I wanted Peter and Carla to get together at the start, not so sure now because if they can find a gorgeous man who she will have no complications with and who is lucky enough to date the character i'll be happy. She looked so fit tonight in court!:blush::hugesmile:

[Scarlett.]

I love the Connor sisters, they work much better than the Connor brothers ever did xD

[Visage]

He doesn't neccesarily come back to the street when he first returns ;)

:D

[Visage]

Frank's mum last night was evil, but I did enjoy it.

I don't know what the future will be for Peter and Leanne, but I did read this spoiler. (Not sure if there's any truth in this)

Leanne is pregnant

That should cause some difficult decisions....



Also loved Sylvia with Milton in Nick's Bistro.

[Niamh.]

Well.........


They are......


But ........


It didn't stop him raping Carla

True enough I suppose

[Scarlett.]

I honestly believe that Frank's mum thinks Frank is evil, she probably has her doubts, but wont want to voice them.

[Niamh.]

I could see that being true, they couldn't miss an opportunity like that, especially when they were trying. Peter is a filthy rat and Carla never seems to want any man unless he belongs to someone else

[Scarlett.]

Simon...;_;

[bbfan1991]

Woah what a dramatic and emotional episode. Poor Simon at the end when Leanne was going:(.

Peter and Carla are no angels and admit that but Leanne playing the victim act really annoys me considering her past deeds, although I do feel for her RE the affair coming out.

Sally was such a bitch in the bar and she was not happy after finding out her husband did the dirty on her with Molleh:bored:.

[bbfan1991]

Leanne calling Carla a dog was funny:joker:. Carla is way more hotter!:lovedup:

[Visage]

It was another great episode.

There was so much to like, from Mary & Norris nearly having kittens at more street gossip, to little Simon stressed at the thought of losing his mum.

What a set of ignorant bastards Peter & Carla were. I loved it when Peter said how could he (Frank) do this to her (Leanne) Er... Wake up fella, he didn't do anything wrong (this time) It's you and that man-eater who's to blame.


Brilliant writing.

[Scarlett.]

I blame Leanne for it all really, she ruined the marriage by sleeping with Nick, Peter resisted Carla until after that

[bbfan1991]

Carla is so irresistible:blush:, she always ends up wanting something she can't have e.g. Liam and Peter.

[Scarlett.]

She's never actually got them before though xD

[joeysteele]

Well I have never liked the Peter and Leanne characters anyway so I hope they both disappear.

Had to laugh at Ken and Deirdre wondering how their children get things so wrong though.

[Marsh.]

They're all hypocrites. Looking back...

Leanne split Frankie and Danny up when engaged to his son and had a fling with Nick and I remember something with Carla's first husband; Peter's been a bigamist; Carla has had affairs left right and centre, one with Maria's husband. Peter used to go out with Maria and Michelle.

They need to get out there and meet new people because they've all swapped bodily fluids really.

[bbfan1991]

Yet some people claim EastEnders is bad for adultery:joker:.

I doubt anything could beat Corrie on adultery, although Mercedes McQueen would fit right in on the cobbles. :laugh:

[bbfan1991]

There are quite a few men Mercedes would go through on T'Cobbles:eek:;):p.

[Visage]

Oh hell yes! Ha ha!!:laugh:

[bbfan1991]

I felt sorry for Carla:(, do not condone her and Peter's affair but it is obvious their lies swayed the jury, plus Frank is a good liar too and there was not enough evidence to prove his guilt.

I can understand why Stella was angry but so bored at her trying to act like everyones friend.

Tracy, Steve and Kylie made me laugh in the 2 episodes:D.

[Visage]

I felt sorry for her too, although she annoys me for always going for the married man. But the rape story has been painful and I so wanna see Frank get his comeuppance.

I agree bbfan, Steve & Tracy were hilarious tonight.

It just happened to be that both were married and Leanne did have an affair with Paul working as an escort while he was married to Carla, not that I condone adultery because it is wrong..

She always seems to end up in these complicated versions and she is the tragic heroine of Corrie like what Sharon, Ronnie and Stacey ended up being in EastEnders apart from 2 got a happy ending and I hope Carla finally gets happiness with someone who will treat her right once she has dealt with her issues;).

[Visage]

she is the tragic heroine of Corrie


That's a good description of her. I do love the character, I just find some of her story-lines frustrating.

I really wanted it to work with her and Trevor. I hope that she will get some good fortune coming her way. Give her some comedy material to work with.

I don't know how it's going to work with her and Peter because he comes with Simon and will they even like each other. I'm guessing Simon will hate her because he will see her as the reason Leanne moved out.

[Scarlett.]

Fantastic episodes tonight, can't wait to see the next few weeks of Frank being evil before he goes to the Underworld :D

She didn't. She threatened to tell Carla he was sleeping with prostitutes so he locked her in his boot and crashed the car and died. From what I remember anyway.

But she did have an affair storyline with Bradley Walsh.

Oops I got mixed up, too much things to remember.

Leanne actually had more chemistry with Danny than she had with Jamie at the time IMO...

Her storylines are meant to have the frustrating effect;).

I hope Peter and Carla can make it work because I think they have good chemistry but they're messed up and complicated individuals. Carla would have to develop her maternal side, she did show a bit of it with Ryan and baby Liam.

[Scarlett.]

I hope Carla and Peter stick together too, they need to stop Carla being this beacon for bad men like Gail was for like ten whole years

[Marsh.]

Yeah, Carla's character is a good one. Shame if she runs out of steam because they've given her a quick succession of boyfriends who've all died.

[MTVN]

I know he's a rapist and everything but I quite like Frank, thought it was quite funny when he was walking down the steps with Sally and his Mum to where Carla & Peter were shouting "a free man!" :laugh:

[Visage]

Andrew Lancel is a great actor and it's hard to hate him because he was the good guy in The Bill.


I think Gwen Taylor is playing a good part as the wicked mother.

[MTVN]

Yeah always liked him on the Bill, I still always think of him as Neil from there

[Visage]

I loathe Sally right now and I can't wait to see her knocked down a peg or two.


Loving Steve & Tracy's war.

[Scarlett.]

There is something wrong with Rosie's exit being more low key than Becky's, considering Rosie has been there 21 years

[Visage]

There is something wrong with Rosie's exit being more low key than Becky's, considering Rosie has been there 21 years

Yeah, it was a little 'under-done' but then I think Becky has been a part of so many bigger story-lines than Rosie.

Over the years I have often felt like they have given Rosie more background stories, pretty much like Jason.

[Scarlett.]

True, I think she deserved more, then again they kinda killed the 'original' Rosie after Craig left

[Visage]

My all time favourite Rosie was when she was with Craig.

She's still one of my favourites, just that period was amazing.

Fleeshman had to ruin it and try for a pop career.

[Visage]

I'm really loving the Gail and Audrey scenes, they are so funny. Hope they have some good comedy moments lined up for these two.

[Visage]

I'm starting to like Kirsty again, anyone who gets one over on Tina gets my support.

[Scarlett.]

Tina is such a stuck up cow

[Visage]

Yeah, she's even worse than when her father died.

They need a personality change for her, otherwise she's just going to continue to annoy everyone.

[Visage]

I'm really enjoying Corrie right now, it's been non-stop action and comedy since the night Becky revealed the truth behind Tracy's lies.

Really excited about Sally finally realising what Frank really is.

[bbfan1991]

St Leanne's houlier than thou attitude really gets on my nerves, at least Carla and Peter admit they are not perfect and make mistakes but none of them are actually victims in this storyline.

The Battersby is still in her as proved yesterday jumping to conclusions and attacking people but Peter showed his fathers instict and got the curly brat to admit his lies;).

[Scarlett.]

Felt sorry for Sally tonight, she needed to be knocked off her high horse, but not that badly D:

[Incensed]

Felt sorry for Sally tonight, she needed to be knocked off her high horse, but not that badly D:

She deserves everything she gets! If you treat your mates like she has, then she deserves it, imo :hugesmile:

[Marsh.]

Finally Silly Sally is piecing it together.

But, are we to take it that he attacked her or tried to because she seemed pretty frightened when she was locking the door and everything?

I notice they did the whole thing of separating all the characters for the murder next week. Sally's home alone, Peter will probably go on a bender, Anne's gone away etc etc.

[Visage]

But, are we to take it that he attacked her or tried to because she seemed pretty frightened when she was locking the door and everything?



I don't think he touched her, probably more the mental abuse. Finally Sally releases what he is, what he has done and that alone freaks her out.

[Smithy]

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

[Locke.]

They didn't even show it.. how **** is that

[Smithy]

well if they showed it it'd give it away :nono:

I reckon it was Michelle, it didn't show her leaving the factory, the others would be too obvious :suspect:

[Locke.]

They still showed Archie in Eastenders :nono:

[MTVN]

I dunno how Michelle would have stayed hidden the whole time though, and wasn't she ringing Carla as well :conf2:

[Jordan.]

I wanted to see him die :bored:

[Smithy]

I dunno how Michelle would have stayed hidden the whole time though, and wasn't she ringing Carla as well :conf2:

Michelle went into the office and said she was getting something, she could have rang carla while she was there while frank went upstairs, coz thats where he was carla arrived

Plus he was at found at the door of the office :suspect:

[MTVN]

Hmm true, I don't think it's Peter anyway, that rant of his about wanting to kill him will mean he's immediately in the frame with Sally but would also make it too obvious

[Kate!]

Who watched it, and what did you think?

I thought it was great, good acting all round, still think its a foregone conclusion the mum did it though. Reckon she overheard him and Carla and attacked him after Carla ran away.

[MTVN]

Gonna merge this with the episode chat thread, seeing as that's already had a few posts about tonights show

[Smithy]

Yeah, peter's obviously gonna get arrested for it to begin with

[bbfan1991]

Great episodes tonight. Bye to evil Frank but Alison King and Andrew Lancel were fantastic throughout with their characters.

I liked how different people in the street raised their issues/grudges with him and his mother finally saw what a monster she raised.

I think Carla, Peter and Sally are too obvious. I think Anne is the murder with Jenny an outsider chance.

I read that the killer tries to kill two people to cover their tracks so if it is Anne I am guessing Carla and Sally..

[Kazanne]

WHO killed frank,my guess is his lover who betrayed Carla!

[MTVN]

What motive does Jenny have :conf2: I really doubt it's her, it'd be a massive anti-climax as well considering there's been this big build up with Michelle, Peter, Carla and Sally named as the suspects, to just have a character they've only just introduced do it would piss a lot of people of I think

[Marsh.]

Andrew Lancel is sooooo boring. Glad he's gone. The only evil thing Frank managed to do was bore me to sleep.

But I think the obvious prediction is Anne overheard Frank taunting Carla and killed him.
Or Michelle came to Carla's aid and smacked him with the bottle and they'll both cover for each other.

It's strange but have Corrie ever done a Who Dunnit? It was all very Eastenders.

Question is though who does the factory pass to??? His mother, Jenny or back to Carla. Hmmm...

[MTVN]

Yeah they did one a year or so again when Tracey got wacked over the head

[Marsh.]

Oh, yeah. I remember now drippy Claire's woeful exit.

She could have gone back to the factory and overheard Frank confessing to raping Carla then decided to lash out, possibility that she was going to scam Frank too.

[Redway]

Another solid pair of episodes from Coronation Street. This show really is on fire right now. 8/10 and 8.5/10.

[flamingGalah!]

I thought it was said Frank's Mum found out that he raped Carla?? :conf:

If that's the case, then we didn't see it on screen, so if she did overhear then it must have been her...

Seems a bit too obvious for it to have been Carla or Sally.

[Redway]

Yeah, it does sound a bit like "Who Killed Archie", but that storyline was very badly-written. Every character on the flaming Square was given an invented reason to hate Archie within the space of a week.

This plot with Frank hasn't been brilliantly-written, either. Out of all the suspects, I can only really see Carla, Peter or Stella doing that. Hopefully, it won't be a poor storyline (Who Killed Archie?) or given a stupid reveal (Stacey).

She might have been in the factory when Frank was threatening Carla, I like how they have done it though, it takes a lot of suspicion away from Anne

[Smithy]

I think it'll probably be anne actually, she's leaving the show and I don't really see anyone else getting away with it

[bbfan1991]

I was thinking that Michelle had gone into the office to steal the contract

She did, confesses to Carla;).

[Marsh.]

I was thinking that Michelle had gone into the office to steal the contract

Ah, question answered. Thanks. I was hoping that...

Anne would stick around for a bit, I think she would have been a good long term character but I suppose there's nothing left for her when the storyline ends

[MTVN]

I'm also a bit bored with the Lesley storyline by now, there doesn't seem to be anything more to it than "ill woman forgets things and gets angry", don't know where they're going with it

[Marsh.]

I feel awful for laughing everytime she takes a turn though. It's like they've caricatured the condition. With the wide eyes and the screaming. I mean, I know it happens and the sufferers become very childlike but with Corrie being very slapstick and hammy it doesn't come across well.

[Smithy]

:joker: :joker:

[Smithy]

speaking of slapstick, when they were arguing over the whiskey i nearly pissed myself

I WANT A DRINK
NO I WANT A DRINK

Steve and Amy get involved with this storyline as Lesley's state of mind becomes more concerning..

[Scarlett.]

I quite like the Lesley storyline, more beliveable than Mike Baldwin going from competant buisness man to a blubbering mess in half a year, it doesnt happen that fast

[Marsh.]

[bbfan1991]

Carla was the last person to see Frank alive maybe she spotted someone else lurking outside and knows who the killer is?

[joeysteele]

I have a feeling it could be his Mother, there is really no other role for her to play in Corrie now with Frank going.
Having said that I am usually totally wrong on these things.

I really like the Lesley storyline, Alzheimers is an awful thing to have and they are showing very sensitively too not only how the illness progresses but the problems for families when a loved one has it too.

[Smithy]

Carla was the last person to see Frank alive maybe she spotted someone else lurking outside and knows who the killer is?

I think she did, just before it cut to the next scene when he was with her on the balcony she looked away at someone

[bbfan1991]

Gwen Taylor finished her filming on Corrie, she is a good Actress:).

[MTVN]

I think she did, just before it cut to the next scene when he was with her on the balcony she looked away at someone

I noticed that too, I thought she might have noticed Michelle over his shoulder or seen an object that she could hit him with or something

[Marsh.]

Well, it did focus on the whisky bottle. He probably got bashed with that.

When did Gwen Taylor finish filming? Might give us a clue.

[bbfan1991]

A few weeks ago because they film lots in advance and we apparently find out who done it next month.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, I say it's her with 99.9% certainty. No other character is leaving and the writer's never let them get away with it.

[Visage]

They did with Tracy.

But I highly doubt they would do it with another main character.

My money as always been on Anne. If there's any doubt I would have gone with Jenny (assuming she came back to the factory and overheard Frank's confession) because she's not a main character.

[Visage]

I'm also a bit bored with the Lesley storyline by now, there doesn't seem to be anything more to it than "ill woman forgets things and gets angry", don't know where they're going with it

I think they are trying to show how it is to live with someone who suffers with alzheimer's.

It's a horrible disease and it can destroy the loved ones who have to live with it.

If I could change anything in this story, I would stop the relationship between Paul & Eileen. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't get all cosy and lovey in the kitchen when Lesley is only a few feet away, it kinda demotes what message they are trying to get across for me.

In full agreement again with you Visage.
I consider that part of Paul's and Eileen's relationship a problem too,especially as you say with Lesley just a few feet away.

Otherwise though, I think they are doing a good thing showing the really sad and turbulant side of having Alzheimers.
I've spoken to a good few people who are surprised how awful the illness is since before this storyline they knew virtually nothing about it.

[Scarlett.]

I love Lesley as a character too, she seems really nice, so its sad when you see her forgetting important things

[bbfan1991]

Amy gets involved with her at some point. I seen pictures in the paper of something that happens.

[Scarlett.]

That could make things interesting, Steve wont be happy. It's funny, I feel more for Lesley than I did for Mike

[bbfan1991]

Tracy and Kylie clash soon:D, i'll be torn as they are both fab characters IMO.

I do not miss Becky at all!:nono:

[Scarlett.]

I don't miss her now either, I love Kylie though, I always thought she was misused when she first arrived

[bbfan1991]

I don't miss her now either, I love Kylie though, I always thought she was misused when she first arrived

She was but Paula Lane is so good at playing Kylie and I just love the character with David, great move and I hope they don't break them up.

[Kazanne]

But I highly doubt they would do it with another main character.

My money as always been on Anne. If there's any doubt I would have gone with Jenny (assuming she came back to the factory and overheard Frank's confession) because she's not a main character.

That's the one I think it is Visage (Jen)someone said what would she gain from that but if she overheard him confess she may have felt wronged or she may have had a plan all along

[Scarlett.]

She was but Paula Lane is so good at playing Kylie and I just love the character with David, great move and I hope they don't break them up.

It was clear from the start that they found a gem of an actress with Paula, especially when it came to the live episode

I think Tracy is the perfect example that they can't leave cold blooded murderers in a show.

I've liked her better now they've toned her down and given her more comical/lighter stories but the fact that they took her character to the extreme of plotting to murder her boyfriend (and succeeding) means that you can't really view the character in any other light.

http://www.itv.com/coronationstreet/news/sallysleuth/

Maria is also back on screen for Frank's funeral.

Interesting because this was reported last week....


At the same time, Sally consoles Anne - offering to accompany her to the funeral. However, she suddenly realises what's missing from Frank's personal effects - his watch. Could this be linked to the killer? Is the murderer still on the loose?

Then in another report

Coronation Street's Sally Webster finds herself in danger later this month after she discovers the identity of Frank Foster's killer.

Sally (Sally Dynevor) uncovers the truth after attending Frank's funeral, where Anne, Carla, Maria and Michelle are among those who gather for the service.

Later, when Sally stumbles upon evidence which points to the guilty party, Frank's killer is backed into a corner and finally reveals the truth.

Taking in the full horror of the crime, Sally fears for her safety and tries to run.

However, as the killer makes a dramatic bid for freedom, Sally ends up lying unconscious. Will she be okay?

[bbfan1991]

I think it is Anne because Gwen Taylor has definitely finished filming, could be a twist of Jenny doing it but framing Anne instead perhaps?.

I think it is Anne because Gwen Taylor has definitely finished filming, could be a twist of Jenny doing it but framing Anne instead perhaps?.

We've been saying Anne since we first heard about the murder plot and it's starting to look like it's her now.

It would be a fantastic twist if it was Jenny though.

Say she planned this all along to get the factory off Frank, knowing he had quite a few enemies that she could easily try to frame.

That would be a great shocker to many viewers...

[Kizzy]

Whos jenny?....i think its maria!

[bbfan1991]

Whos jenny?....i think its maria!

Jenny is the Agent who brokered the deal for Carla to sell the factory but she was in cahoots with Frank and sleeping with him;). Sally found out just before he died!

[Marsh.]

Still thinking it's going to be predictable old Anne.

The clue of his watch being missing also makes it obvious. They made a point last week of mentioning it was his father's. The stress of his rape accusation killed his dad do it makes sense she'd steal it back. And she was too concerned about the factory and the contract for a mother the day after her son died.

I think it may be Jenny. If the watch is a clue, she could have had access to it. The other week Anne was questioning Frank as to the whereabouts of his fathers watch and he snapped at her that he must have forgot to put it back on after a shower. It is plausible that she went to meet him at the factory and overheard his confession of rape whilst confronting Carla. She never believed he had actually committed what he had been accused of so this would have been a revelation for her which was her motive for attacking him. I read somewhere weeks back that it was Anne who overheard his confession, but as to whether that was true or not I don't know. Things often change in soapland too!

[Kazanne]

I'm sure ,always have been it's Jenny.

Exactly THIS^

[Visage]

I'm sure ,always have been it's Jenny.

They fooled the viewers with the tram crash when they said it was 'Four Funerals & a Wedding' leading us to think 4 big characters were going to die and then including the tram driver. So maybe they're fooling us again by giving us 5 suspects and totally ignoring Anne, or even better Jenny...

[Scarlett.]

Caught up with last weeks episodes now, I'm loving the side plots (Lewis storyline, Rita/Dennis)

[Mrluvaluva]

Anne seems a bit distressed from the fact that Peter has "confessed" to Franks murder. Hmm.

[Scarlett.]

Indeed she did!

[Mrluvaluva]

I wonder if...Frank's watch is missing from his possessions that the police dropped back with Anne and Sally notices it is missing. She is somehow aware though that Frank was wearing his watch the day he was killed so she knows it is missing and the killer could possibly have taken it. After the funeral on Monday she is back at the house looking after Anne and she notices her with it. I think it was his fathers possibly so that could be why Anne took it. Sally confronts her about it and Anne acts out of desperation......Possibly totally off track but just a theory.

[Iceman]

so its definitely her? I havent read anything about spoilers or anything but im away from TV/Internet for the next few weeks and everything just points to her

[Mrluvaluva]

It could be anyone still I suppose. Apart from Sally. We find out on Monday.

[Iceman]

Ok thanks, might just get to watch Monday.

i am stopping thinking it was mummy - i am going with simon again

[Kate!]

The big reveal is tonight, can't help thinking it's going to be an anticlimax as I'm pretty sure how it will all pan out. Just think it was too obvious from the start as none of the main stars in the frame are leaving the show, so could never have been any of them that dunnit!

[Marsh.]

Yeah, the producers probably thought they had a shocker on their hands by making it the mother but it's been pretty obvious who would do it since they announced he'd be murdered. I'm open to a shocking surprise though, but I very much doubt it.

[Mrluvaluva]

I read that Sally ends up in a coma after finding out who the killer is and getting coshed over the head. It will just delay her telling the police who the killer is as she obviously comes round sooner or later.

More spoilers ( http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a371827/coronation-street-pair-to-fall-back-in-love.html)

Good old Kevin saves the day, bit annoyed it was Frank's Mum though and not a bigger character

[Jords]

Blew Eastenders out the water tonight.

[flamingGalah!]

The worst whodunnit in the history of soap operas! :joker:

Everyone I know knew it was Anne all along, how boring & totally predictable...

And I thought she was gonna bash Sally? Instead the silly bitch just tripped over! :rolleyes:

[Kazanne]

Blew Eastenders out the water tonight.

I dont think so,Sallys crack on the head was laughable she had blood in her hair before she hit the deck!!it was poorly acted,Hevs in EE on the other hand was far more believable,some of Corries actors are very poor imo,much prefer EE

[Mrluvaluva]

Blew Eastenders out the water tonight.

The first episode was mainly predictable. Sally's fall was quite hilarious though. The second episode was much more compelling. I think the vast majority of people had worked out it was Anne a long time ago. The references to the watch and other things made it quite obvious, but there was still a little doubt in peoples minds I think, especially since the sudden absence of Jenny from the storyline. It was still very good to watch.

The demise of Heather was more like an afterthought in the last couple on minutes of tonight's episode of Eastenders. The difference is everyone knew how Heather died and who did it. Frank's killer still had people guessing up until it was actually revealed.

[joeysteele]

I have to agree with you,although EE near depresses me most of the time, they do this sort of thing really good overall. I was actually really disappointed with Corrie tonight, I thought it was poorly acted and oh so predictable.

Maybe I am though just too disappointed that we still have to suffer the character Peter Barlow,I was sort of hoping he could be going out of it. Although he acted the alcoholic well in the past, I find both the character and actor totally dull and wooden.

[Marc]

I don't know

[waterhog]

peter is doing a good job - this is what they do - stay clean and relapse - a very good portrayal.

[Marc]

Who dunnit

[Redway]

You been drinking again, Marc? :suspect:

[joeysteele]

peter is doing a good job - this is what they do - stay clean and relapse - a very good portrayal.

I said he portrayed the alcoholic role really well, I am well versed in the problems of alcoholism.
What I was saying was I didn't like either the character Peter Barlow or the actor who plays him.

On all other storylines apart from the alcoholic role,I find both the character and actor,the way he portrays Peter overall, boring to listen to and watch.

About time Eileen told Paul what he needs to hear

[waterhog]

its such a hard story line and its going to end tragicaly with all crying - well done corri for highlighting this real issue.

[Scarlett.]

I did a blog post about it

Stella and Karl need to leave

[waterhog]

Stella and Karl need to leave

you are right again jordon - i am fed up with them both and a few others to. that kirsty i can not stand. so help me god. it really was a shocking episode and noramlly corri is so on form - i do hope they dont have a new director going by the name of brian kirkwood lol.

[Scarlett.]

Stella and Karl need to leave

I miss Steve being in charge there, he had much more warmth, and he didn't judge people. Failing Steve, I wouldnt mind Stella's mum running the place.


Terry Duckworth is such a baws

[joeysteele]

Thought Corrie tonight was a near total mish mash, too many things going on and Betty not done full justice.

Terry's return was totally unbelievable the way it occurred and there needed to be a bigger build up as to Betty's demise too.
Really poor show from Corrie writers tonight, for me at any rate.

[Scarlett.]

It's hard to write out a character when the actor died a few months ago, I thought they did well, anyway, this episode wasnt the main tribute to Betty, that is later this week.

[Scarlett.]

After thinking about the scene inside Se7enth Heaven, I think for once Terry was being honest and doing the right thing (in his mind) by thinking he has no right to go into his sons life at this point

[bbfan1991]

RIP to Betty Driver:(, she was a talented Actress and a lovely woman judging from interviews etc and will be missed, although I must admit to being bored through most of last nights episodes.

[Vanessa]

Finally a good storyline for my gorgeous Chris! :cheer2:

That is until he hears about Tommy's inheritance....:laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Of course :p

[Visage]

I really enjoyed Terry's return last night. In the past I haven't been that bothered about him, because it was always Terry trying to con his mum & dad into whatever was going on in his life back then.

Now though with Tommy an established character and knowing that Terry sold him to the Hortons, I'm excited at what is in store for these two characters.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah it feels like the storyline is more about Terry himself now

[bbfan1991]

I have always rated Chris Fountain as an Actor so it is nice to see him get a big SL, shame some Corrie fans are snobbish towards him just because he was on Hollyoaks before hand:bored:

[Visage]

Chris was brilliant on Hollyoaks and I was over the moon when I heard about him joining Corrie. That said I don't think Corrie have used him correctly, it's like he's been one of those filler characters for too long.

So I'm even more chuffed Terry is back, hopefully this next few weeks we should see Chris shine as an actor like he did in his Hollyoaks days.

[MTVN]

I've enjoyed the last few Corrie episodes, been good to see Tyrone and Kevin mates again taking the piss out of Tommy's camper van and the whole Salon war has been pretty funny too. Betty's death was done quite well I think, showed how a whole range of characters were affected by it

[Scarlett.]

I'm glad Kevin and Tyrone are mates again too :)

[Visage]

I'm glad Kevin and Tyrone are mates again too :)

Yes me too. I much prefer these two as friends than enemies.

[Scarlett.]

The garage didn't work well with the two warring, they work well as a pair of garage lads

[Vanessa]

I love Chris Fountain! I need to catch up on Corrie! :dance2:

[waterhog]

he was good in last episode - but he has been far from that in all his other storys - boringggggggggggggggggg

[Redway]

Monday's episodes were rather underwhelming, to put it nicely. Far more focus should have been on Betty. An insult to a legend, if you ask me, although I will admit I did like the Terry bits. Still, a very poor double bill.

I think the same as you, the episodes were all over the place with far too many storylines going on, I know friday's is the main episode as to Betty but it's for her funeral really, there was too little build up to her demise as the character,suddenly Gordon appearing from nowhere and Rita going to visit her with a cake.

There were, in my view anyway,many ways they could have over a double bill of Corrie built up more slowly to her dying,even without her presence,however they chose to rush it all through, so much so for me anyway, her storyline near got lost among the mish mash of all else that was going on.
I think even you were being a bit generous Redway stating it as underwhelming.

Yeah, definitely. I absolutely agree with you and, yeah, I'm usually a lot harsher than this, so I don't know why I'm being generous all of a sudden. Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Take care, mate. :wavey:

[Scarlett.]

I'm liking Terry a lot more this time around, it'd actually be great if he returned full time.

[waterhog]

its nice to see old family pop back - just to show they are normal and still turn up every now and then.

[Mrluvaluva]

lol @ Norris trying to get Gordon to pay Betty's paper bill. "Some people just get away with it". £4.65 out of his own pocket.

[Scarlett.]

I'd have prefered it if this week had more focus on Betty overall, it was rather a let down, I'm prepared to let Corrie off for that Rovers ownership, since the will probably wouldnt have stood a chance in hell of going through.

[waterhog]

byebye betty - will still got your hot pot - what a loverly touch - horrible to give it to sean aka anthony rotton, but hey, i can live with it.

[Visage]

lol @ Norris trying to get Gordon to pay Betty's paper bill. "Some people just get away with it". £4.65 out of his own pocket.

That scene with Norris was brilliant :)

Bohemian Rhapsody is trending on Twitter. :joker:

Why can't they just kick Kylie out instead of letting her dance on the table and cause a racket, they can't just refuse to pay the bill either surely

[Mrluvaluva]

Should have just let Eva and Kylie go at it if she wasn't going to pay. Why would she have put music on for her to dance to either? :conf:

[Scarlett.]

Oh god that scene in Se7enth Heaven xD

It's why Corrie is best at comedy :D

[Scarlett.]

I actually felt really sorry for Terry at the end there.

[Scarlett.]

Look at the poor sod
http://i49.tinypic.com/r2uura.jpg

Tyrone is such a dick

[MTVN]

There can't have been a dry eye in the house at the end of tonight's episode, spiteful Tyrone

[Scarlett.]

I'm really questioning who's the bad guy now, sure Terry bribed a councillor, so what? He was opening a legit club, he planned to have his son with him in his new empire. And why does Tyrone ruin it all? Because Terry didnt get along with Jack?

[MTVN]

Yeah Tyrone is trying to ruin him purely out of spite I think, a lap dancing bar might not be everyone's cup of tea but I doubt Tyrone would be that bothered if it wasn't Terry opening it. And like he said he's providing employment in tough times, we need more people like Terry Duckworth

[bbfan1991]

Inside Soap says that Eva fears that Nick is cheating on her when he is seen with another woman.

I think the writers may try and get him/Leanne to restart their affair again to start the Eva/Leanne sibling rivalry again, or have Leanne to shack up with Carla's brother when he turns up to put the cat amongst the pigeons...

[Scarlett.]

I think Terry does care for Tommy, even though he wants his money, you could see his reaction when they hit Tommy

[MTVN]

Yeah, and Terry isn't much different to Kirsty really; he used the wrong means to open a business, but she also used the wrong means to catch him out :shrug: also:

Aye, Kirsty did even more stuff wrong IMO, she went through information that she shouldnt have done.

I'm loving that little side plot lol

The Julie/Brian scenes were heartbreaking tonight :(

Glad the Weatherfield in Bloom storyline was there to brighten it up

What's the ending about, has he got more debts on top of what Tommy paid?

[Scarlett.]

Seems like it D:

This is bad news

[Scarlett.]

Yeah D: I wonder what exactly Terry's been upto?

[Scarlett.]

I noticed Tina was holding St. Joe in high regard again... the guy who smashed up the medical center and tried to fake his own death to escape his debts.

[bbfan1991]

Tina annoys me full stop.

So Kylie Is spotted working in a lap dancing club by Nick, spoilers seem to be hinting at something happening between them off screen while she has been away as Eva suspects he is cheating on her?:eek:.

Him and Kirsty grassed Terry and the councillor up, Terry couldnt open the club, therefore, Terry couldnt pay the money back

There was obvs summit fishy going on between him and the council though? D:
