Tonight's double Corrie - Wow!
What a couple of belting episodes tonight! I didn't think they'd manage to top Monday's triple, but I think they were even better. What with Les/Chesney, and Sarah/Todd/Eileen/Jason, it was emotional stuff. I swear these characters are real

![]() Bruno Langley is so convincing as well, where does he get the strength to portray all that emotion. Sue Cleaver goes from strength to strength. Her character is just so real. The performances were very emotionally charged and they all deserve to win awards, but I just love Chesney. he really tugs at your heart strings.

What was the point of Sarah's chat with the vicar, when she was not prepared to listen.

The scene at the end with Todd and Jason, really brought a lump to my throat, so powerful and emotional.

Last night's double bill was excellent. I ended up with tears in my eyes. All the performances were excellent, but for me it was Tina O'Brien and Sue Cleaver who really stood out. Sarah's agony when she was talking to the Vicar, and Eileen talk with Steve were just great, both bits could have been melodramatic or over the top, but they were played so well, it was just moving.

Have to agree, i was scared it would go down hill from Mondays excellent triple bill, but it kept the storyline up. I thought the Jason/Todd chat was very good, and the acting was excellent. And Bethany is getting a few lines too, but i did think it was a bit mean of Sarah to drag Bethany over to Todd's for another slanging match. When she could have explained to her at home.

SPOILER...
And I think Eileen gets another kick in the guts this coming week, when Steve tells her he's found a buyer for the house and she'll have to leave!

I'm glad that this storyline has allowed Sue Cleaver some excellent scenes to show off her acting talents - her character had been wasted a bit of late. |

Another two great episodes from Corrie, excellent writing and acting. Todd and Jason managed to carry off that final scene without making it seem cliched or unlikely which can't have been easy. Despite the drama the writers still managed to include some humour with Les and 'Doris', and Eileen's "Jason's so straight he's practically a caveman". And so good to see Sue Cleaver given some great material over the past couple of weeks, previously she'd been sadly neglected. Can't think of a word of criticism about it really,and am so glad I didn't spoil the effect by watching Eastenders in between

Yes - just re-watched that scene on the omnibus. Very fond of Steve, think he's really developed as an actor. As you say they're both particularly good at comedy but can come up with the goods in dramatic scenes too. The writers have been careful to pace it well so that the points of high emotion have greatest impact. The whole storyline has been very impressively thought out, and it must be a pleasure for the actors to work on. EE, eat yer heart out. |

Yeh I agree last nights double Corrie was excellent written and acted by all involved. Poor little Chessers just cant' get a break can he. his vile mum running out on him, although she did him a favour if you ask me, poor little mite. I loved Todd and Jason's scenes and I got a lump in me throat when Eileen defended Todd against the whole Street.
I agree Sarah's action with Bethany at the end were not the best course of action but very understandable and likely a girl in her position would do something like that. And if that wasn't heartbreaking enough, next week is gonna be a real tearjerker. |

It just keeps getting better. Every time Chesney is in a scene I become amazed that an actor that young can be so talented. But he's not the only one. Sarah, Todd, Fiz, Kirk and even Jason were all excellent in their performances, good to see that there IS still such a thing as a TALENTED YOUNG ACTOR. These people make me forget all about how rubbish Vicki, Spencer and co. are down on EE.
Older actors also delivered excellent performances. Eileen was very moving when she stood up for Todd. Fred and Les and Gail were also brilliant. The storylines and acting couldn't be better IMO
