I'm 7 episodes behind due to a holiday - but I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed the episode opening with the bins, Mary was excellent and **** me I even enjoyed Sean at the bring and buy....Simon Crowther wrote it
Last night watching her look around the Rovers felt like the start of something good. Carla becoming the landlady of the Rovers is just so perfect. What a shame they won't get the chance to make it happen.

Why do you assume carla would become the landlady? Do we even know what percentages are owned by steve and liz? My impression was that liz put a small amount of money "into the business" - which could mean anything.
If tony now owns more than 50%, then he'll decide who runs it.

Like I said before..Carla would be a sitting partner...not hands on...(:D no quips)....but it sounds like next week all could change !!

I remember when Michelle thought she was going to be the sole boss after Steve told her he'd bought the Rovers but then he revealed that Liz owns a 50% share. Needless to say, she wasn't happy about it.
Carla and Tony will own 50% shares and it's not looking like Tony will be able to have much control because Steve, Liz and Michelle are going nowhere thanks to Carla.
She has got the factory to run, which will inevitably be in trouble again before Alison King leaves, so I wouldn't think she'll be interested in running the Rovers (although personally I would love to see her behind the bar).
Carla's only really buying it to help Steve and Michelle which in my book means that Michelle's got the best BFF in the world haha
Disagreed from me!! She just in't enough of a 'people' person to be a pub landlady!! Plus she gets quite enough airtime as it is without sticking her in the Rover's as well!! Glad she's taking an extended break personally, let some of the other characters come to the fore for a change, then by the time she returns the complete overkill we've suffered for the past few years might have worn off enough to make her watchable again!!
Agree with NDD (hope you don't mind me calling you that!); Carla isn't really a suitable person to run a pub. Of course she could buy the pub, realise that and then put Sally and Tim in charge. Those two would be perfect. Turf Steve and Michelle out and keep Sarah and Eva (when she returns) as barmaids and there's the making of a good team there.
The best part of Corrie at the moment is a dog. A dog! God, I hope it doesn't win best soap tonight (I've managed to avoid all spoilers so please don't tell me who won what).

The dog should be nailed on favourite for best newcomer!!
NDD is fine, I'm sure people have called me a lot worse than that on the forum, even if they've never printed it!!
I really cannot be bothered with it right now. Not even on the off-chance Mary will deliver a funny line. There are so many dud characters taking up screentime. It's awful, absolutely dire. They really have to get a new producer.

Fair enough if you don't enjoy watching Carla but I'm pretty sure there are still a few of us that do and I have no doubt that she would be brilliant in the Rovers. Despite the unbelievable amount of tragedy she's continually had, she is still the most engaging character on the show and TPTB know it but I'm sure the sublime Alison King is doing the right thing by leaving for now.

Her, Anna & Tim last night tho:D.
I bloody hate Anna >:(
Sally was brilliant as always though.
She's so miserable and it's not even entertaining:(.
I suppose it added to the comedy though. What did you think of their bank holiday 2013 BBQ fight?:D.
Next week will no doubt be good but the show will need to sustain the quality for about six months before we can say it is out of the woods.
Someone with a lot of talent who needs to write more episodes.

Agreed.
Just seen it was John Kerr who wrote it.
Really enjoyed his ep.
