The Michael fella does my head in. Can he just stay easy for a few seconds. His head never stops or his hands. He sat on the arm of the sofa the other night and I thought he'd stay still but then his shoulders started bopping like a break dancer on acid.

And as for the Grace one and her bawling!!!

Shelga

This Dev/Asha storyline is so cringe. If my dad had screamed about my sex life (or distinct lack thereof! :pac:) in the middle of the street when I was 15, I would have applied for legal emancipation!

Maybe this storyline is mean to make us think about the impact of having sex young, and how Sunita's absence is affecting Asha at this stage of her development, but it just makes me want to burrow into a hole and hibernate until it's over...

JP Liz V1

I can understand Dev being mad and angry, look what Corey and Kelly did to Asha and Dev is in debt over the school change

bobbyss

Sean's son took in all that information about this Scottish castle from his mother's text in less than one second. What a precocious kid. I doubt he'll spend years floundering in a knickers' factory trying to make ends meet.

Yes the discussion in the street was not good but I think fair play to him for speaking with her about it, not an easy conversation but it’s worse when parents don’t speak about it at all. I think Dev is a very good father and he has been a single dad for a long time and doing the best he can.

In my day parents didn't speak to their children about the 'birds and bees'.. His daughter is being very mature, I didn't like her boyfriend, he's a sleeze.

I think i will skip this episode. It's a horrible storyline but i can't put up with Leanne any longer.

jos28

Not a fan of Leanne either, I find it hard to feel sympathy for her regardless of the horrible circumstances. She spends her time shouting and storming out of rooms. You could do an entire episode 'cutting and pasting' the scenes of her storming off.

JP Liz V1

Ben Price as Nick is the only one saving the Oliver storyline for me, his acting, expressions etc., all very good

You would think given his condition that Liz, Andy, Eva, Stella, Janice, Gloria or Les would try to come visit or be mentioned

Does

Oliver die next week?

I felt bad for Emma crying in the police station! She's so sweet. Although yet again, a legal case is resolved in Coronation Street faster than you can make a cup of tea.

Yes to your question. There's an hour long episode on Friday dedicated to it

It’s a very sad story, and important to cover it but I just wish it wasn’t so Leanne centred. She’s very hard to feel sympathy or empathy for. The total lack of respect for anyone who doesn’t agree 100% with her is very hard to listen to. The constant screeching and shouting from her.

JP Liz V1

Leanne makes a pass at Steve, Adam asks Alina out

JP Liz V1

Tracey the voice of reason

Sparko

Team building event for the factory staff - looks like the majority of them weren't invited.

So one minute Sarah tells Todd there are no jobs at the factory they are not recruiting, the next he's working in sales by the end of the day he's in speed dahl at a team building evening. Sean had to get a bank overdraft to pay for the tickets to bring his son to the football, he even asked Eileen for a holiday from the rent and now he's splashing the cash on makeup. If he's that good at putting makeup on why is he not working in the undertakers?

Lennox Gilbey

I was hoping Sean would go for a walk in the countryside and get shot by pheasant hunters. WTF did he get that top?

steinbock123

The writing really is pathetic.
Eileen tells Todd to get a job or get hoovering.
Todd walks out the front door, Sarah just happens to be standing at the factory steps talking to the two silliest characters on the street, and Bingo! Two minutes later Todd’s a lingerie sales executive.
Why oh why do I still watch it?..

Jikashi

That has got to be a Coronation Street speed record, Eileen tells Todd to go out and get a job, he barely makes it off his front doorstep and he lands a job in sales, is liaising with clients on their orders before lunchtime. He even gets the opportunity to clear the air with his previous employer in the same day.


When she's not in bite-your-head-off mode, the default for recent months, Leanne can be really cute. Tracey too.

"I'm gonna make tracks in the world of business and make my teenage son proud of me". Not with that feckin shirt there Sean.

The Oliver storyline could be good if it wasn't for how annoying Leanne is. If it was another character or actress I might actually be able to feel sorry for them.

It's like when Hope had cancer, I really found it hard to take seriously because Fiz's acting is so bad.

I thought Seb and Alina were an item? What happened there?

JP Liz V1

Is the funeral guy gay or just very camp and after Eileen or Mary?

Alice1

I think the funeral guy likes Eileen but, because Mary works in the florists, wants to have a business relationship with her. He is very camp.

He was certainly “Camp” in Benidorm!

Ann22

All Sean's problems are a lack of money. How has he no money ffs! Does he get paid less than anyone else in the factory?? He also has the bar job. I don't enjoy watching his scenes. See the wee lad playing the game console with him? Sean wasn't even looking at the same screen.
Paul left the pub slightly tipsy and by the time he crossed the road be was getting his kit off. Why didn't Billy shove him out the door instead of standing with his hands over his face. Were we supposed to be amused?
Leanne is a great actress. Her eyes go on opposite directions when she's upset but it's really hard to watch. Fcuk she's so unreasonable and mean! Poor Nick. I actually think my whole family and all my loved ones would be leaving me to it if I was in her shoes.

Happy4all

Hard to believe Simon is the father of a 2 year old kid in real life.

JP Liz V1

Like Leanne we would all fight tooth and nail for our kids or family, it's a hard storyline to watch knowing the outcome

I don't understand why Alina was brought back if not for Seb
