What a gripping and shocking new plot on Coronation Street, seems that everyone thought it was blue bin day but it was black bin day! What will happen? Will their black bins overflow? Will they get the right bin put out in time. Now I understand why it won the BAFTA

    Quite possibly THE best soap storyline since who shot JR! I was gripped from beginning to end! I don't think I can wait until Wednesday to find out which bin the Platt/Rodwells put out!!!

    Thought the script tonight was the least clunky and most natural it's been dialogue-wise for a while - up until the obsessive bin comments in the second episode. The only scene that was worth any of it was with Kevin and Julie.

    Unless it is going to lead to someone looking in someone else's bin and finding something.

    I enjoyed the light humour of bingate. My street had something similar after Christmas when we all got confused

    It was worth it only for the line "Emily's gone black". She'll be after Tony next.

    They keep persisting with these running jokes.

    Norris' package, scotch eggs, the Manhattan range sofa, Ken's book (Anna Karanina?), bins.

    None of them were funny.

    I'm hoping it leads to the triumphant return of the legendary Trevor the binman.

    *knock on Gail's door'
    Trevor: "You've left the wrong bin out love"

    I agree, it's a load of old garbage.

    I didn't think Corrie could sink any lower but then this comes along.
    At this stage I'm beginning to think SB is involved in espionage.

    At this rate, Corrie is heading for the landfill, along with rubbish.

    Wanted to see Gary Neville discuss the tribulations at Weatherfield County tonight, but Arsenal's defeat took a greater importance.

    As well as Bingate, there was talk of Weatherfield County sacking the manager, and Tim and his 'fake' fifty pound note all in episode one. The Tony/Tracy buying the Rovers could not save a bad episode. I switched off as I preferred Sherlock on BBC Three.

    Ive heard its the start of a really big storyline thats going to shock us all.

    Because everyone put the wrong bins out the street is going to be plagued by rats! Its going to see the bubonic plague return to england. Sean will be bitten by a rat as hes skuttling home at 3 in the morning after the bishop pops round to the vicars house to check theres no funny business going on.

    Everyone avoids sean as they dont want to be infected but liz cant stand to see her best barman die alone so forces michelle to make contact with him.

    Both of them are now infected and the disease takes hold. They both die.

    Soon they are cremated and everyone who attends the ceremony breathes in the toxic fumes and also drop dead. Those scenes are yet to be filmed but you can vote on a premium line phone number for which characters you would like to see there!

    Theyre on to a winner i think.

    The compelling story of the different coloured bins which left Weatherfield confused...

    Gripping stuff.

    We haven't had one of those since Rob was finally caught for killing Tina last autumn.

    I used to find little plots like this funny, but tonight seemed especially forced; we had the £50 note, bin gate and also the football manager being sacked.

    When it was just Ken mentioning a few times in an episode about where his car was parked, that was fine.

    What did we learn from tonights CS? The residents don't have a scooby when to put their wheelie bins out. I don't think the residents of Weatherfield know how to recycle, but then do they need to, when it is mainly chip paper and keebab cartons.

    Really, the only relevance of tonights that I can remember is that Tony put the wheels in motion to buy Steve's share of the pub and Billy stood up to the bishop about his relationship with Sean.
