lol, remember when i posted the Melrose episode when Kimberly blew up the complex, but changed the names to Corrie characters, pretending it was a Corrie leak?
Do you think the real end result was strikingly similar to the Melrose eppy? It doesn't really matter seeing as the Corrie eppy was fabbo, and the actors really delivered. However, its still fun to compare!!!

Were the Corrie writers looking up on this famous US primetime supersoap for inspiration? A lot of it was too similar to ignore!
Like Maya holding Sunita captive/Kimberly holding Sydney captive, and cracking jokes, like holding a blowtorch to her face "Say one word and I'll make your face match the colour of your hair!!". The mass confusion of residents ending in utter chaos and destruction (difference being Kimberly had a funny one liner in front of residents before she blew the place up!)
I'll say Corrie's was definatly more frightening, the Melrose one was extremely entertaining, and both were ultimately thrilling. The explosion didn't happen on Melrose till the beginning of the next series, the episode ended with the red light on Kimberly's head as the timer on the bombs went off in her hand...

Held at blowtorch by Kimberly , Sydney tells Michael Mancini on phone to "come on over!"

Ooh I actually saw that episode and now that you mention it there are a few similarities between that and Mad Maya. Both were good but Corrie was darker I think.
