When Michael was reversing the ice cream van out with Gail's guidance he was going very slowly, then he took a deep breath and proceeded to knock her down.
Did he knock her over on purpose? It certainly looked that way to me.
I don't think he did it purposely, plus he could be in bother now regarding breaking his curfew.
Eileen becoming really nasty now. Also, she seems a really pointless character at the moment.
She was rather pathetic last night when she was laughing after Gail was injured.

I just posted about this in the SOR thread. Yes we know they're arch enemies but Eileen's reaction was ridiculous - she's not even a Street 'bitch', never mind a total psycho. Have they got the interns to write CS while the grownups are on holiday >:(
Typical. I stop watching Coronation Street and then Des goes and commits a crime of passion against Flirty I be he knocked her down, if only to give her regular sponge baths on the road to recovery. I'm sure David could give him a few tips from his best seller '101 ways to kill your flirty mother'
Pretty obvious he did it on purpose, it’s the oldest trick in the book that.
Des was clearly fretting about the Gail straying, or perhaps even gallivanting loosely around the street – so he opted instead to cripple her, thus making her completely dependant on him.
Only thing is, he needed to make it look like a complete accident in order to fool not only her, but the nosey law and of course those sneaky sods down at the insurance company.
I’ve found some helpful advice online concerning the very subject; pound to a penny you’ll find the same info in Des’ recent laptop history …
“In order to execute such a plan, you must firstly appear to be something of a hapless buffoon – indeed being accident-prone is something of a real advantage here.
Secondly you need to engineer a “harmless” situation that quickly becomes perilous for your unfortunate victim – i.e. your attacking her knees with a cricket bat simply won’t do.
Lastly you have to appear completely distraught, especially in the hospital and subsequent aftermath – whilst not forgetting of course to bang that insurance claim in rather sharpish.
If everything goes to plan, you’ll have an eyelid-fluttering, stay-at-home, devoted woman, and plenty of ale money in your sky rocket.”

Eileen is really annoying. Just sits there wobbling her head, smirking, making stupid snide remarks. Really unsympathetic character and someone else I would like to see get punched (but sadly we won't be granted something so satisfying).
But of course this was a woman who found it funny that the Platt family nearly got murdered by a serial killer and that a depressed man ended up killing himself. No wonder Todd is such a prick.

Hi. Could you let me know what the SOR thread is? Apologies if I have out something wrong on DS

I think that you have the same opinion of Eileen as I have, callumfreeman!
It certainly looked that way to me.

Unless Eileen was somehow controlling his mind...
Seriously, though, who could blame him?

Des would not do this
