Kevin will go and visit Bill/Roseh, taking Jake with him, surely. They couldn't kill him off - little Jack has already lost his mum. If they're going to kill a Webster off can it please be Sofeh?
Also, it was touched on previously, but the Eric and Eva storyline was far too rushed. It was all so sudden that he would want her as his "companion" having built a "connection" with her - they'd had a couple of heart to hearts out t'back and a disastrous family meal at the Bistro. Not much scope there for a meaningful, believable connection in my view. It would've been nice if Eric had stayed longer and really grown into a father type figure for Eva - it would've made his offer more believable and more tempting, as well as having more emotional impact when he sadly passes away. I liked him and thought he was sweet, but it did feel a bit like this old dude turned up, caused a bit of a ripple with his fat wallet, pulled a few "what have I let myself in for" faces, chatted to Eva (he never stared at her cleavage though so props to him for that) and then sat in a booth and died. It could've been a lot more.

Timothy West: "I've always fancied being on Corrie"
Corrie: "We'd be honoured, we'll write you a part"
Timothy: "I don't want to be in it for long"
Corrie: "No problem, we're used to writing that way".
Even leaving aside the speed they got the notice in the paper I wondered why one would be necessary in the local paper at all - everyone locally who'd need to be told is in The Rovers.

I agree. They were trying to write that Eric was realising what Gloria was like, surely he would have known this before.

Eva walked out on her job. Eric asked her to leave with him. He dies and Eva gets her job back! :rolleyes:

If Kev does end up leaving, I'm hoping it will be the end of the Websters. Rosie's gone. So that will only leave Sally & Sophie. I like Sally but she'd be worth the sacrifice to get rid of Sophie. But I expect there will be some mahoosvie SOR to keep Sally and the banshee.
Yes, that's exactly it. They skated over the legalities of Kevin's official parentage as I remember, just mentioning that it had been done. But Kirsty obviously would not hand Ruby over as Tyrone did Jack, because Jack wasn't his child. Therefore Tyrone has to abide by the law, so there's no point in obtaining a DNA test when he can't use it legally.
I'd be very surprised if they did kill a child off. Seems to be a taboo.
With the way hastily written out characters are treated, I suspect we'll get a throwaway line about jack going to live with Pam.
I think it was sha-ting rather than shi-ting. I don't think ITV would be brave enough to let a character wear a t-shirt that was a hyphen and a letter 't' away from a swear word
Sha or Shi - still rude for Corrie! Either way, it's a Keith Lemon catchphrase!

They have already killed off one of Kevin's children. The baby he had with Alison died soon after it was born.

Unfortunately I'm sure you're right :mad: we'll be lumbered with Brooke Vincent for a while I fear. I don't mind Sally; she's quite amusing when she's gossiping and sucking up to people.

Yes, biggest Corrie SOR - Brooke & her cuz - jobs for life!

I'd forgotten that - I wasn't watching Corrie at the time. I doubt very much that he'd lose another child. If Kevin doesn't return, Jack is a complication. Maybe they'll just never mention either of them again! Or there will be a brief reference to Tyrone buying the garage or similar. Then Ruby can join the others at the 24/7 childminder's.

So Jack can turn up in twenty years time looking for Tyrone

What does 'props' mean ?
It's slang - "props to him" is like saying "fair play to him"
I believe it means respect - as in 'proper respect'.

Sorted! :cool:

... and in remarkedly good condition - both tortoise and box!
Sorry, just realised they found Flash still alive - the plot is obviously too complicated for me!
I agree. They were trying to write that Eric was realising what Gloria was like, surely he would have known this before.
Would it be too much to ask the actors to stay out of the sun if the storyline requires it?
Eva walked out on her job. Eric asked her to leave with him. He dies and Eva gets her job back! :rolleyes:

Sexual attraction between Ryan and Katy built up too quickly; I mean Katy didn't look like she longed for him before the kiss.
Thanks. I hadn't heard that phrase before.

David always has a different T shirt on, must cost him a fortune, he never washes them and wears them again.:rolleyes:
I agree - no doub it will be a full flung affair and a decree absolute by the end of next week

Yes, but a la Simon he will look nothing like either parent.
