Nothing could surpass the episode of Blanche at the AA meeting; but the drug counselling was good last night. It showed the counsellor just what Kylie is dealing with. - drugs and a disfunctional family. David needs to decide if he wants Kylie back or not; his continual spiteful behaviour towards her could push her back on to drugs.
I'm really beginning to think there's something wrong with me.
I didn't think the 'Platts In Counselling' was funny at all. I just couldn't stop thinking it ridiculous that they were all there, including Michael. I would have thought that Kylie would have one to one sessions first and then maybe her immediate family would be included. Michael's pathetic "Kylie was always straight with me" Eh? She was horrible to him. Just an excuse to shoehorn him into the scene
Holding it in the 'Community Centre'? Really?..................
......and of course, the eternal question.............where the hell was Lily?
Well I suppose this scene was always going to be compared to the AA meeting, which was a classic and can't be beaten IMO, but I did find it funny when Gail was mistaken for the ex-addict
I found parts of the scene funny and found it to be the only enjoyable thing last night. Now that's its over I'm wondering why this hour session covered the span of over half an episode but I guess that's where corrie's continuity is at these days. And where is Lily? Seriously she's not been seen for ages (in the last 6 months I only remember her being in those awful Liverpool episodes) and not even been mentioned in that time either.

I did find it quite funny especially the Gail bit, couldn't really see the relevance of Michael being there he didn't even say much, and Audrey seemed to have washed her hands of the situation and didn't want to be there which seemed a bit out of character
The drugs counsellor assuming Gail was on drugs really made me laugh
That was definitely the funniest part. I did get the feeling they were moving towards a bit of a replica of the Blanche at the AA meeting though, which immediately made it less funny in my mind, simply for attempting to repeat it.
The counsellor thinking it was Gail with the problem was the only funny bit.
It was. On paper it sounded hilarious but I think the writers were trying too hard to emulate the success of the AA meeting. All I thought on seeing Gail in that awful jumper was "your house is 3 seconds from the bistro, u have to go PAST it to get to the community centre so why the bleep didn't u go home & get changed instead of raiding some manky top from the bistro's lost property box?'

I'm guessing it's based off Blanche and the AA meeting which was a huge success but I'm not complaining considering T shirt gate was just last episode
It wasn't a patch on the Barlows at the AA meeting.

Both episodes again...I couldn't wait for them to end. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I did think Gail looked better in the clothes she found in lost property after her 'accident' in the gents than she does in her normal stuff.
Mistaking Gail as the drug addict was funny though
To be honest I think the writing team tried way too hard to make that funny
It is not often the writers get an episode right but the 7:30 one last night was.
Maybe instead of people being negative towards corrie they could just try and enjoy it for what it is
Maybe someone (just one) can explain why it wasn't funny
Yet you dont specify what they are.
Plis you should know by now they use dramatic license with these things
She was seen last week.
It was exceptionally funny. Corrie is great at that stuff.
