I find this funny because the last two pages have been about how much Carla like to drink so she had a few today she out

Carla wasn't drunk in last night's epiosde, she didn't seem to drink that much at the wedding and she also left early as she was minding Amy.

Tracey was going around like an elephant in the apartment.
Drunk or not you would nearly have to be in a coma not to have heard her.

And why was Carla even minding Amy when Tracy was at home and available?

I think Liz told Carla she didnt want Amy with Tracy as she plans on confronting Tony about his affair with Tracy so she decided its best to have Amy totally separated from Tracy

To fit in with the story and create more drama

Oh, and cos Liz said she was supposed to have her but couldn't cos she wanted to confront Tony, and she didn't want Amy going back to Tracy the mood she was in.

I think Maddie wont die in the fire because

she finds Jenny trying to abscond with Jack. So that suggests she would then get involved in that, and wouldn't have time to get into the fire story. Maybe Jenny will kill her, but I doubt it.

.

I think Kal will, it would be suitably dramatic, after his proposal to Leanne.
He may be on his way back with the ring, and see the fire and try to rescue Carla, but he dies, and she and Amy live?

Carla rarely shows any maternal feelings yet Liz asks her to take Tracy's kid Amy for the night, what about Ken the grandfather or even Emily she is Tracy's godmother and is always on hand to babysit


Nick lives next to Carla and he has Bethany and Sarah Louise staying who will save them or does anyone care if they are saved or not

well to be honest Amy does have Tracey for a mother, not very maternal is she.

Probably over a year she would. Thing is Peter would binge drink, keep drinking morning noon and night for days and days on end, be seriously destructive when he was p1ssed and be incapable of stopping whilst on the lash. He would then be dry for weeks on end until something else sent him off the rails and once he started, even one little drink, he'd keep going until oblivion.

That's a classic alco. Don't care about anyone or anything, just where the next drink is coming from and everyone else can suffer.

Carla on the other hand is a heavy drinker, but I wouldn't call her an alcoholic. She has caused trouble and damage when drunk, but she never had any real trouble giving it up. There was a story a couple of years ago where she was on the lash morning noon and night, but she was never like that before or since. It was a short term story drawn up by the writers for short term gain without any thought of the long term consequences on her character.

I used to drink a lot in my early 20's, but ran two very successful businesses at the same time. I was never dependant, just had a big party lifestyle. I wouldn't have described myself as an alco and nobody else who knew me at the time would have either.

I ran a lot of marathons at the time and would be off the beer for three weeks solid before each race. Partying would continue, just me on mineral water and juices. Never had any issues with going off it and staying off it. I used to be out drinking, would have a long drive ahead of me the next morning, would stop drinking alcohol and switch for the rest of the evening to non-alcoholic drinks, never had an issue with that either.

An alcoholic is someone who depends on drink. Carla very much depends on drink if she is boozing every day. and has almost killed both herself and someone almost due to her drinking. The problem is the writers suitably forgot about her drinking problems to make her look like the heroine/victim in the demise of Peter when she was perhaps the one who dragged him down with her. I just think it is ridiculous noone passes comment on it as she is seenn with a wine bottle/glass every second scene. Leanne for example almost saw her mother killed by Carla drink driving yet never mentions this to her despite their rivalry.

she was drinking consistently (wine and champagne ) from 10am!! If she can't get drunk from that alcohol is wasted on her!!!

To be fair, as much as she drinks, they never show her drunk! Its like the glass is just her prop. Much like kevin and his beard, Michelle and her folded arms, Gary and his Roys Rolls apron, Roy and his bag and Chesney and his grimace

Oh no! Is the curse of Simon going to strike again?

ShazGV

Eh, the candle that started the fire looks like it hasn't burned at all...

Always number 1

If its

Kal that dies

its a total joke.

Every disaster that happens on the street affects

Leanne's lovelife

And what's the deal with Simon sleeping on the couch? If he's old enough to be approaching girls and asking them to dance then surely he's old enough to not be falling asleep in the pub - he's not a fecking toddler!

United Chester Men

Urban Manchester........................ how f'in long for a fire brigade to come???

United Chester Men

How in gods name are they able to keep their hand on the door handles with a raging fire!! They would have first degree burns!

Hannibal Smith

Is yer one nicking the kid??!!

Kauto0709

This is so unrealistic. Like Leanne didn't think to ring the fire brigade first?? And the other people that live in the appartment block are just staying in their appartments??!!

JP Liz V1

So Leanne is the hero saving Carla and Amy and probably losing her new fiancé Kal

Nope, cos then there wouldn't be as much drama, and I'd say they're aiming for maximum drama rather than realism.

Chucken

Why in gods name were they trying to reason with Amy? Ex soldier Kal couldn't just pick her up and run? :rolleyes:

United Chester Men

This should be great viewing but to be honest due to the lack of depth of the stories surrounding it, the pantomine lead up to the events and the annoying characters I am bored. Great pyrotechnics, wasted on this show!

Conveniently Nick, Sarah Louise and Bethany are away at Audrey's

I hope they don't kill Maddie off - she's a far better actress than your one who plays Surphie and I like her interactions with Sally and Tim.

When the fire alarm goes off in my apartment block I don't bother to evaucate, (it's always a false alarm) I have to smell smoke before I do.....I think Corrie has been great,(so far) this week.

JP Liz V1

If Carla had a drink before going to sleep which is likely she will be blamed


Is Tony in hiding as he hasn't returned since dropping Michelle and Steve to the airport
