After a month of being the best thing on TV it suddenly has become the worst thing on TV. The lines for Tracey are so cringeworthy I'm wondering if a 10 year old wrote this script? As for Kate Ford. Utterly terrible actress who is completely out of her depth here.
If this is what we have to look forward to then I might not be watching anymore.

Ken Barlow: "Please try!"
WTF
I enjoyed it as well. I suppose you can't please everyone though.
Good choice by the script writer to include it though.
Her opening line was awful and the delivery not much better.
"A dramatic change" is EXACTLY the problem.
The explosion/tramcrash and aftermath have indeed been dramatic, with a lot that has been melodramatic but allowably so except for the Stape stuff which verged on farce. But the Tracy return stuff tonight was just so ludicrous it beggars description - and Deidre's exaggerated "TracyLUV" was surely deliberately post-modern ironic self-parody.
I take it that's an example of self-parodying post-modernistic irony?
Possibly, or perhaps it was ironic self-parodying post-modernism.
Don't think that was the intention...
PMSL, we should really hope Carol Ann Duffy would do a better job of it that the scriptwriters or Ken! Although quite what was her motivation is curious.
I was waiting for her to start cackling and for flames to appear all around her.
Still loved it though, have to admit .
Crazy stuff : she sounds more like a cartoon character than a real person.
