The whole thing seems to be going around in circles. I'm sick of watching Peter and Leanne acting awkwardly in front of Peter before having a hushed confrontation by the hair salon. I'm sick of watching Carla's lips become aroused each time Peter walks/wheels across the street. I'm sick of Peter's frustration at his disability and I'm sick of Ben Price's acting.

Leanne and Peter, alongside Simon, made such a strong family and now all of that seems to have been thrown in the gutter for this crap storyline. This is really letting Corrie down at the moment as I'm enjoying all the other storylines.

Having said that. it's 15 times better than all of the dross that's currently being served up in EE.

I really hope so because I'm also getting really bored of it! I know they have to drag out story lines to an extent in order to create a realistic situation but it really is growing tiresome :sleep:

I will be glad when its over,wish they had just left Leanne and Peter be,and as for being sick of "Ben Price's acting",surely that statement is a bit of a stretch?I'm pretty sure he's trying to do something,but I wouldn't go so far as to call it acting!!

I'm getting bored of Peter's whinging. I understand it's going to be difficult for him, but "moan, moan, moan". Please stop!

The Carla thing is OK, the Nick thing is not. Move on Nick.

It wouldn't be so bad if I had some idea of what we're supposed to make of Nick. One minute he's shown as a tormented soul grappling with his conscience over his possible part in the tram crash and the next he's worse than John, with no conscience whatsoever (taking advantage of an alcoholic in a time of weakness by encouraging him to drink is something that amounts to showing him the shortcut to an early grave, and unlike most of John's actions, Nick's show intent).

I also keep forgetting that Nick is younger than he looks - a LOT younger! - and automatically assume that he might have assumed a level of common sense more befitting to someone of such advanced years. If we're supposed to be seeing a character who still lacks the emotional maturity necessary to accept when a relationship is not to be then it's baffling why they've made it more difficult by giving us an actor so much older than the person he's meant to be playing. As has already been pointed out, it's not because of any stellar acting.

This is an excellent point

I do feel that we would forgive Nick a little more were he played by an actor the actual age of the character. Oh, and also one who could act!

Sick to the back teeth of all three of them.
Peter annoyed me last night drinking again after almost killing him and Simon in a fire. He doesn't deserve Simon and I hope he gets him taken off him.

As for the three of these 'adults' they can all rot in hell

Carla I'm indifferent too

I was thinking the same thing last night. Nick is actually far more evil than John Stape. first of all trying to break up a happy family unit and secondly by tempting Peter back into alcoholism.

Nick's character has always jumped around all over the place. He was hard hearted and selfish trying to take advantage of Carla's plight when Underworld went up in flames, but was full of remorse when he thought he might have been responsible for tram crash night. Now he's back to being totally selfish.

I thought it was out of character for Leanne to have the affair in the first place, and never felt any chemistry between her and Nick. However, I like the idea of Carla and Peter, though could never see Carla being a mother figure to Simon.

I am bored with it. However I do wonder if I wouldn't find it half as irritating if it weren't for Nick and the Mogwai face he pulls when he's emoting. It makes me want to put his teeth down his throat for him.

You can tell when Nick's emoting? I'm in awe of your superior powers of perception - the rest of us just aren't worthy

I'm actually quite enjoying the story - or, no, enjoy isn't the right word, as I hate seeing what all this is doing to Peter and Leanne and could quite happily thump Nick in his smug, self-satisfied face. I'm finding the character work really interesting, though, and am enjoying seeing how the story has been built over a period of months now, albeit not always consistently. I'm interested to see how it all plays out in the end, and what will become of them all in the aftermath. Peter and Leanne's reactions to their situation, especially, ring very true both for what they are currently going through and who they both are. As for Nick, well, he's a slimy, manipulative and underhand weasel, but what he's doing now does follow the pattern of his behaviour in the past. He has always been quite prepared to trample over anyone who gets in the way of what he wants - I just hope he gets his comeuppance in the end!

No, and I can't see Simon taking to Carla either!

Its a pity that they can't recast Nick. I have never liked the actor. The sooner he disappears the better for me. I would rather have Adam Ricketts back.

This s/l started off well but it been going round in circles a bit lately, unfortunately. It doesn't help that Nick is so heavily involved. Terrible actor and character. But thankfully Carla's back on screen, so it should pick up a bit now. I am much more interested in the Carla/Peter side of it than Nick/Leanne.

Nick is better than he was when he first came in to the show, but still awful.

I was hoping Nick would be one of the ' Tram ' fatalities, mainly because of his terrible acting.
No such luck !
He is ruining the story line & it all seems out of character for Leanne, who has so much to lose.

Yes the Nick thing is really frustrating me. I hate how he's trying to maniupulate everyone and twist everything. It's almost pissing me off, if it wasn't for the fact that i like the other actors in the ensemble. I don't like the Nick/Leanne pairing, but i adore the Carla/Peter pairing. the pair of them have such great chemistry and really light up the scene.

Although can you believe the last proper scene we had with Carla and Peter was post tram crash when Carla came into the bookies, to tell him she was over him etc.... It's a crime Carla has been off our screens for so long, and hopefully she'll have a couple Peter scenes too!!

I heard/read/dreamt up that:

Though it better happen sooner rather than later, nick-nick-nick is driving me insane.
