Very low key. And why were Fiz and Chesney being so civil to Cilla? I thought they'd be much more angry. And they weren't that shocked that she came back all of a sudden. They treated her like she's only been gone 6 months.
I was thinking the EXACT same! Wow, how boring was corrie anyway? Just goes to show, the only thing interesting is the climax of the Tina storyline, which will be over this time in 2 weeks! I dread to think what will happen then...
If it was a bit of a let-down, low-key and meant that more questions were raised by it, rather than answered (which I'm not saying it was, however) may well have been because Cilla had to be re-introduced somehow, and in quite a quiet way (and not in the obvious blaze of glory, type of way).
Plus that this "return of a familiar face" as the EPG described it, is only actually for the relatively short period of time of 6 weeks, with Cilla only appearing in a "guest" role. So no, it wasn't in practice very dramatic, at all - which isn't particularly surprising given the circumstances described.
Not that the character & SL didn't deserve a bigger fanfare or entrance, of course after an absence of 7 years - but I just wasn't that surprised that there actually wasn't one, in last night's episode itself :-(
I liked the way Cilla just appeared on the doorstep. Wasn't sure if I'd missed her first scene back till I saw how shocked Fiz and Chez were.
I liked it too, it is how old characters should come back, it doesnt have to be explosive or over the top, it seems that she may have been hurt by her partner so has run away? and of course her first port of call would be the street to get help from her children.
I am glad she is back, just so that she can cheese off Fiz for a while
It was nice it was so low key and wasn't done in the usual soap cliche way of seeing a taxi pull up, seeing the taxi door open, a pair of shoes step out of the taxi and the camera slowly pans up to the passengers face for the big reveal.
At least there will be plenty of room for her to stay, now that Jason seems to have finished the loft conversion! Bags of room in that house now. Yet, I'm sure I read that Fiz tells her she can sleep on the couch

The shoes and taxi thing has definitely been done to death.

Can i ask why you watch corrie? All you seem to do is moan about it and call it boring!?
The shoes and taxi thing is more an EE cliche to be honest....always someone stepping out of that black cab in killer heels with a smirk on their face.
Oh dear lol. I dont watch emmerdale tbh. Never have, never will. Altho i have seen a few snippets when switching channels, just not for me
David you don't know what you're missing! Emmerdale is brilliant! It has lots of action and there isn't too much "country bumpkin" stuff going on. There was a siege which was amazing and recently a female character was chained up in a metal box and left to die. It's great!

Wow haha! I caught abit of the seige episode last year was it? Under the pub when he got electrocuted? I only seen it as i was at my nans, i tend to watch hollyoaks at 7pm

I will be pleased when we have the other soap cliche - Cilla leaving in the back of a taxi. I never like the character (the actress is very good) and Fizz and Chesney have made good lives for themselves without her. I think the storyline is that Cilla has developed osteoporosis and she has come there to be looked after. The cheek of the woman after she neglected Fizz and Chesney when they were children.

So Cilla turns up without so much as a phone call. How did she even know they would still be living in the same house?

The only soap safe from criticism from them is Emmerdale I've noticed - don't worry they say same about EE as well

And that's just Phil Mitchell
Fiz looked like the shocked cat on YouTube!
She didn't. She knocked at the house Les lived at and Kirk told her Fiz was living with Tyrone.
