have Carl sell carbon monoxide alarms instead of fire alarms

- another story which has died a death - if you'll pardon the pun.

The photo in the piece, unrelated to the spoiler, shows Tyrone with another bruised eye so it looks as though Kirsty aka Mike Tyson has struck again!

Very good connection you've made. I do however hate the way that the article about the poisoning story with Fiz, is being portrayed by the scriptwriters as something they are taking advice on because it is right to get such an important story correct. It doesn't seem to have stopped them making a pigs ear with so many other stories in recent times. Maybe a subtle admission they don't really pay too much attention to other stories authenticity much of the time? Such as Fiz, who was only released on bail and was meant to be facing a retrial for the murder of Colin Fishwick, which all seems to have been forgotten about.

Lol, makes me think of Heather's storyline in Eastenders with her faulty boiler. It was boring then, it'll be boring this time. Especially as it'll be used as a minor plot device in another story.

She'll be up and about in no time.

Maybe she could see the same doctor that had Ryan recover from his serious head injury in 10 minutes?

John confessed on his deathbed that Fiz had nothing to do with Colin Fishwick's death and he'd forced her to help dispose of him when he dug the body up. Obviously the charge was dropped without them telling you.

Yeah that would've made a lot of sense.

It also would've given Karl and Sunita a real wake up call to their selfish behaviour over the past few months and put them in a position where they had to amend their ways with people.

Careful folks - I was very careful to use spolier tags for this post - have a care for those who don't want to know what's coming.

Well I haven't a clue what you are on about. What about the Tyrone bruised eye?? I haven't seen a photo. What are you on?? There is nothing in the soap mags about Fiz anyway so why are you using spoilers??

Why do the scriptwriters need to take advice, they can just re-hash the scripts from when they had the same storyline involving Rita a few years ago?

yeah they all thought Reet was going loopy and getting dementia and it was slow CM poisoning. I originally thought it was Richard Hillman that did it but then I realised I got mixed up and he was making Audrey out to be losing her marbles instead!

And re. the other point, I think most young men of Tommy's age enjoy other sexual acts, but the one they really want to perform is the one that can result in pregnancy!

erm ... Condoms ! Women undertaking a surrogacy are still "allowed" to sleep with their partner - they are just told to use a condom for the time they could become pregnant.

I recently read an article about a women who is on her 8th or 9th surrogacy (or a similar number, cant remember exactly) and she had had one occasion where the condom split with her partner so when the child was born had to do a DNA test. It actually turned out to be her and her partners child but she still gave it to the couple as she said it would be too upsetting for them not to PLUS she hadn't thought of it as her child all the way through pregnancy. Lets hope the corrie scriptwriters didn't read that article otherwise I could take a guess as to whats going to happen with Tina .......

SOR Corrie get a good actress to play Stella's mother and all they do with her is make her into the stereotypical, interfering mother/mother-in-law.

So true ... and they're also, I think, trying to recreate a Blanche Hunt with her barbed comments ... but it's not working.

Yes, what exactly was the point of the Carl/smoke alarm storyline? I hope the smoke alarms don't do an amazing transformation and become

Spoiler

carbon monoxide detectors and put the blame on him.

You just never know with Corrie these days.

Just wondering since when did devil child Faye suddenly get a personality transplant?! The whole "butter wouldn't melt" act doesn't suit her at all. She has too much of a bratty way about her to play nice. Seems like they completely changed her personality to suit the surrogacy storyline so she can easily fade into the background and not be a nuisance

The whole Armstrong/ Windass clan have personality transplants. Gary goes from a tough guy to an absolute wimp and sap, Owen from a nasty piece of work to a caring guy, Anna from a not very nice person to a do goody goody. Now Faye. Its not long ago since she killed defenseless fish, but thats all forgotten about it seems.

If I understood it correctly, Wendy Pappadopolos ne. Crozier was already on the board of governers, yet Ken a complete stranger won the vote, giving a speech which even he admitted wasn't very good. How likely is it that the rest of the committee would choose him over someone they knew well?

[ceecee31]

I kind of got the feeling that Brian the Headmaster had wangled it so Ken would win, by the way he was shuffling the vote papers.

[LittleSarah]

Not SOR's but sloppy filming/continuity.

I may be wrong but I'm sure when Owen was putting the 'Pub of the Year' box on the wall there were keys hanging out of the keyhole. If so, why the huge screwdriver to open it?

Also Tyrone rushed out of the house with Ruby wrapped in blankets, yet in the Medical Centre he carried her in in a baby seat.

Shhh ... he may hear and think we want him back.

BTW - Best Young Actor at Inside Soap Awards? I've never been a fan of the "cuteness" but, as he gets older it's being replaced by very wooden acting.
