Sarah-Lou and Bethany are going back to Italy - today. Last minute flights will cost a fortune. Since when was Sarah-lou flush with cash?

OK...

is this vicar stalking Sarah Louise...................

also he spends more time drinking than Fr Jack...............

Carla was in the Bistro and rings Aidan to say she is on the way back.

If she had dialled Aidans phone and kept waiking she would have been back in the factory before Aidan picked up.

Gary's ex and Gary's fiancee drinking together...not at all weird!

I think Audrey was ripped off, lunch at Nicks would get you more than a transistor radio.

Oliverdog

It's not her worst ripoff. It's a bargain compared with the return she gets from employing David.

Think Nick said they were going to eat somewhere else (in town perhaps?)

Has Gary given up the drink for good or is it just until the wedding?

Just till the wedding, in a nod to some sort of Muslim ritual.

What kind of factory are they running there? That new girl, told by her father to start from the bottom up with good old Kirky packing boxes (and like a 12 year old taunting him) now all of a sudden is involved in a business lunch to seal a big deal with her brother and father!

Alyia must be the very worst actors/actresses on the street judging by her performance last night.

Gary? From street fighter to Sophocles. Now he's the font of ALL wisdom. If you need advice on matters of the heart- Gary's your only man.

Sad to see that Peter Baldwin who played Derek Wilton has died.

Him and Mavis were a classic Corrie couple. His battles with Norris and Des Barnes were great fun to watch. Never forget him driving around in the car with the giant paper clip on the roof!

Whatever about that, that to and fro with Eva was ridiculous. I was half hoping Carla would find Eva in the pub drinking her troubles away, find out that Aiden was being a douche and go read him the riot act. Instead it ended disappointingly amicably.

I can't decide whether Alyia acted badly or was badly written last night. The way Corrie has been recently, I wouldn't be too quick to blame the actress.

From gurrier to Gandhi in a few brief years. Quite a transformation.

Sick of the site of Kylie at this stage. Is she meant to be going out of it? I can't put up with her guilt anymore either. Callum was scum. Get over it.

Also, anyone else notice that Coronation Street has the densest population of homosexuals of, well, any street anywhere. Five, on one small street. Sean, Todd, Billy, Sophie, and new chick. I'm not complaining, just saying. Another symptom of lazy writing I suspect. "We need a new exciting character. Lets make them gay!".

From gurrier to Gandhi !!! I like that. That made me laugh.
Have there been any scenes when Rev Billy has kissed/being affectionate towards Sean while he was wearing his collar?

No I think he told Sean that he wants to keep their relationship a secret from his parishioners and other people he works with so I suppose he probably wouldn't be affectionate towards him when he has the collar on just in case any of those people saw.

I see. We never get to see his church, place of worship.

An extremely predictable trait in Corrie occured last night. When David's partner (cant rem her name) was doing the ikea type furniture Billy and Rita basically barging into her house and Billy had a few 'free hours' to help her assemble it. No wonder she flew off the handle. They don't do emotional intelligence very well in Corrie.

I didn't notice anyone coincidentally overhearing anybody else last night (which must be a record) nor did I notice any actor stepping into a scene accidentally and seeing something at some split second from around a corner or lurking in the background that affects them. eg Sean seeing Billy talking to Todd outside pub while he nipped out to talk to Sarah and countless other plot demeaning examples.

I like Kate Conner she is fun

And I wouldn't be surprised if Sophie and Kate become a couple.

I agree about the factory scenes, also despite this big order, and all the fuss, about it, nobody seems to be doing any work.

It's kind of a rule in soaps that if you have two gay folk, they are automatically attracted to each other and end up together. Frighteningly realistic.

Corrie on next Thursday at 8.00 and Friday from 7.00-7.30 only.

This should be the last interruption due to the Rugby WC.



Derek was gas, sorry to see him go.....

Nice interview here with Thelma Barlow (Mavis), worth watching for first 90 seconds anyway.

Is there ANYONE who can make sense of this Connor clan? I am forever confused.

Carla is the sister of Rob? (Is he the fellow in Downton Abbey or was he engaged to Tracey?) Who is this Shanye Ward character, his father and daughter? How are they related to Carla?

Is Michele related to Carla? I sometimes get the impression they are sisters? There is an Irish connection to Michele as she sometimes goes to Kildare to see her parents. Her father is played by an actor who was a priest in Strumpet City. Her mother may be one of the Cuascks. And why am I thinking Carla's maiden name is Donovan? Was she ever married to Peter?

Lastly, Carla. Lovely as she is to watch but by God what a turn off when she speaks. Is it me or does she now only speak through he nose.

I was thinking more along the lines that everybody conveniently finds work, partners etc, in jig time, all within the same small area. I'm guessing Aidan and Eva will also become a couple.

Carla was originally Carla Donovan, yes, Rob is her younger brother. He was to marry Tracy, but it didn't happen because, on the wedding day, he had to make a sharp exit, as it was discovered that he had killed Tina. Carla told the police, as far as I remember. He is now behind bars, for that.
Carla was married to Michelle's brother Paul, so that is how they are related.

Shayne Ward/ Aidan is a cousin of Michelle's. Yes, Carla was married to Peter. Peter slept with Tina on what should have been his and Carla's wedding night, and Peter and Tina went on to have an affair, mostly to write both characters out, as both wanted to leave.

That's it, I think. Maria was also married to another of Michelle's brothers, Liam, and I think he and Carla had a fling, at some stage.
