Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion] contd

Andy From Sligo

so sad, I know like its a soap but i just feel for so many people in real life that have to go through a dreaded meeting with a consultant like this

life can be so bloody cruel

Hannibal_Smith

Oh my goodness... This is so well done.

I've been a good person why doesn't count



Though when she said hear my voice my husband did chuckle

donkeykong5

Anyone who has lost someone to cancer will be in bits watching this. It's so bloody true.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who laughed.

Postgrad10

I laughed too. All I could think off was Tracey taking her off.

Really tough episode tonight. Raising awareness of course but hard going.

I just cannot take Sinead seriously at all

That was so heartbreaking , I can only imagine what it is like being told this that u have only moths to live.

She's really earning her stripes on this one though. I thought she was exceptional tonight. Both herself and Daniel.

It was good tonight but I'm not looking forward to the continuing storyline. It can happen in real life but is incredibly rare.

Pamela Landy

I assume Miss Hell will find Robert's dog tag. Maybe he'll carefully hide it away on top of his socks.

Purple Mountain

And the other thing that made me laugh out loud was 'Big Daddy'.
She's trying to chav Robert up.

God it was tough to watch all right, I am sorry I watched it to be honest, was in that situation a short while ago with a family member and you just feel so helpless

So many people get that news everyday, its so sad, I'll have to see how it plays out as I'm not sure I want to continue watching it on TV having just gone through it in real life

I bet he'll say someone from the young offenders group in Stoke gave it to him as a joke. Stoke is his go to excuse these days!

Hospital scene was very well done.
Also very scary. Could happen to any of us

He's a moron. He has to know that it isn't going to last and that he'll have to ditch one of them. Stupid story at this stage, it's being on for far too long.

I have cancer myself and had to turn it off tbh. I don't think I'll be watching for awhile, too upsetting.

I'll be following on here though.

Aw now. Don’t waste a good scene where Michelle and Robert’s pregnant girlfriend get trapped in a lift. And Michelle has to help her give birth ( Ali probably involved too but he passes out due to ptsd).

If you dreamed that you were eerily close but...

wrong person. ☺ Gemma and the one an only Chesnay go on holiday to Llandudno and Gemma goes into labour 80ft up in a cable car.

Can't wait.

Take Care Fiolina

I found Sinead saying she would just end up being a story to Bertie very sad, she needs to write him letters, record messages etc.,

Was Tracy in Ken's house?

So will I! Why did they insist on stuffing this story down our throats?! I dread the years ahead with this horrible chavvy shower with Gemma stomping around the place with her mouth open full of half chewed food.. chin jutting out shouting at Chesney with her tribe of awful kids pulling the place apart around her.

I'm having problems quoting posts and replying since I had to download the app again. I was replying to the 'hillwalking comment too but it somehow it was included in my comment.

Pamela Landy

1 hour episode tonight. 7:30-8:30.

The continuity in this program leads a lot to be desired.

Ali goes away with Maria and comes back addicted to anti anxiety meds.

Hannibal_Smith

Wtf was going on with Ali?

Addicted to prescription drugs!

Despite not showing it on screen at all, not even hints, he's addicted to benzodiazapeiene. Anti anxiety medication.

Pamela Landy

Dr. Ali. "I swear I'll smash your face in."

Manchester Hippocratic oath.

Wheety

Ann , you really don't like Gemma. I think she's funny.

At least Corrie mixes the sad stories with comedy. EastEnders is just all gloom.

Hannibal_Smith

What???? Really? I thought it was drugs of some sort when I saw him foaming at the mouth. I turned it off

Shelga

I haven't been watching for about 2 months, just got bored of it.

Now Sinead and Daniel have drawn me back in, but why is Ali a junkie all of a sudden?? Did that terrible haircut drive him to drugs?

He should just ask Billy for advice, on how to go from heroin junkie to model vicar in approximately 12 days.

Ali became an addict over night. Its as much news to us regular viewers as it is to you. It wasn't hinted at once. It was well portrayed though.

runningbuddy

When did Ali become a full blown junkie ???

Why are so many adults (most of which earning a decent salary, one a doctor ) living in a tiny apartment????

And tomorrow morning, he'll be free of his addiction.

Mind yourself, can't begin to imagine how upsetting it is for you to watch. Take care.

I hate druggie storylines.. fcuk sake..Billy's only over the same thing. I used to think Ali was quite attractive but that hair is awful. Like a tea cosy on his head...what did he say he was addicted to...? Fray Bentos? Or Mentos??

He said Benzos. Think it's a huge problem in the US with addiction amongst 'normal' people.

Valium, Xanax or in Ali's case Diazepam.

Kel is going to be an interesting character!

Yes, I know. It's just the way he seems to Mr nice guy.
Similar to

Buster in Hollyoaks.

I wonder will just focus on

Paul or will he abuse somebody else.

I assume he was a child or teen at the time. Maybe Josef will be next?
