Because they weren't getting the answers they wanted.

Yeah but at first their main consultant was a dark skinned lady with curly black hair (I think the actress used to be on Casualty or The Bill) and then she was replaced by this red haired one without any explanation I thought

Lennox Gilbey

She did seem to come out of nowhere. I think it was posted here this new one, Caroline Harding (Chris Gascoyne's real-life wife) was going into it but she just seemed to appear.

Corrie on ITV tonight for an hour and 5 minutes eating into Enders for 5 minutes. As for Virgin (on the ridiculous),... An hour from 8 but is it the same second half as ITV? Answers on a postcard please.

I think the first doctor was a pediatrician but not a specialist. The doctor on screen now is the consultant/specialist.

With a condition like Olivers he would not be in the local general hospital.

Yes, so the first doctor was the pediatrician at Weatherfield General and the second was at the Children's Hospital (or where ever).

Evelyn's in the back room.
Roy's at the suppliers.
Rita and Audrey are coccooning.
Ken loves minding Bertie.
Gail always minds Lily.

That's all fine, we as the audience know why the kids and seniors are not really onscreen and can accept the repeated excuse for their absence and it's all good, we can focus on who is actually in the scene. Why then, do they seem to always fumble it when it comes to Jack Webster, with ham-fisted scenes of Kevin talking to himself in the hallway or pretending Jack's in the next room with headphones and doesn't want his dinner. Just stop drawing attention to it.

Anyone else finding their attention dropping massively since it went back to 6 episodes? So much filler. Didn’t even watch it tonight. Less is more.

It's like Deirdre telling us that Tracy is upstairs listening to get tapes again.

I noticed during tonight's episode when Kevin was talking to "Jack" again he actually said something like "am I talking to myself here". Yes, yes you are Kev!

Delta2113

Actually like the Daniel and Nicky stuff. The Restaurant owner is some lowlife.

I think Ray will buy Nick's share of the factory

The silent invisible quads is the most far fetched of all I think.

When Steve was talking about raising money by releasing capital from Street Cars, he something about getting a flyer in from a property company. I bet that's Ray's pal. Ray will be going after the whole block.

I bet the cast and crew are happy enough with that arrangement - I read somewhere that each baby is played by two "actors" due to the laws around children working, so logistically with all those babies and a parent supervising each it is quite a challenge on set. I bet they're regretting that storyline.

Immortal Starlight

I think most people are regretting that storyline. I’ve never watched anything so boring in my life.

Hannibal_Smith

Why this nonsense drivel with Peter/Abi/Kevin... They're like teenagers!

Where is Daniel getting all his money from to pay Nikki

Seems like Geoff is the new client that seriously assaulted Nicki (she must have described him in the hospital), obviously in Ray's hotel where she likely does all her trade. Ray likely is a big-time pimp. It's all unfolding now.

Shelga

Wouldn’t Nicky be considering a career change in the time of coronavirus anyway?? Especially if she lives with her mum, who looks like she’s getting on a bit.

Could he have taken Geoff's envelope and somehow used it to get that money? It was odd seeing him with it all at the end.

I think the prostitution story started out alright but then it's like they gave up and went with a cliched and lazy direction.

Mary and Brian were great as usual but they can't lean on them forever.

How is Abi working in the garage with one hand? surely she should still be out on sick leave. She has the full overalls on so she's not just there to answer the phone. Why was Nikki wearing a face mask in a hospital bed? She has a head injury for feck sake she needs to breathe

Meeoow

How is Nikki stuck for money?
She charges 150 quid a pop and gets free sangiches from a punter. She doesn't always go through the agency for bookings.

harr

A terrible amount of filler content, the waffle between the 3 of the them in factory office while waiting for Sarah was brutal and no need for it ..
