Plus how convenient that Chesney although only 100 yards away in the kebab shop was so distracted by his phone - he didnt see or hear anything.

Although hanging around outside for a bit at the beginning of the episode, he went back inside the shop later on and missed it all.

This is one for the soap cliches - any passing or nearby onlookers to a crime taking place are always missing the actual big event, itself, at the crucial moment.

Roy must have drawn the curtains, gone to bed and stopped looking out the window - yes, very convenient.

It did shock me and it was scary to watch but everything happened too quickly for me....one minute they're leaving the next they're celebrating pregnancy news then Peter's in the flat, then Rob turns up and she falls, he hits her again, boom!!

No Carla/Tina showdown and as a corrie fan I feel seriously robbed of watching two brilliant actresses who could have even had a two-hander over this situation....but hey...it's corrie....still the best soap on TV and talking of being robbed #britishsoapawards

Ps robbed - no pun intended 😏

By the way, I meant the balcony, not factory roof, where did that come from? Haha.

I do agree that she was struggling to get up, but I still don't believe she wouldn't of broken a bone or something. I felt so sorry for her though, even though she couldn't keep her gob shut

Her getting up like that was a bit unrealistic but her still remaining gobby 'til the end was hilarious! 😂

Yes, mainly because I didn't have Rob down as murderer material.

I wasn't shocked. Once she'd started gobbing off about shopping Rob, Tracey and Tony I saw it coming. I had a feeling one or even more than one of them would be the culprit.

I was shocked & I thought it was a really good twist. I thought she would remain unconscious & we wouldn't see any more of Tina so that was a shock in itself and it was quite spooky. And for Rob to go from accidental killer to actual murderer was also a good twist as I'd thought the accidental killing in the previous episode was lame.

I also really enjoyed the ironies that have played out. First of all Rob trying to protect his sister by preventing her from finding out about the affair actually causes her to be a suspect in a murder and then he finds she knew abut the affair anyway so it was all for nothing. Then we have Peter who confesses to Carla because he thinks his number is finally up but then it turns out that Tina has been attacked & left for dead so he didn't need to confess at all.

And I enjoyed the fact that the whole episode had a theme of adultery with Anna confessing to Owen & Chesney being accused of something by Sinead.

So well done, Corrie, it was brilliantly done

It's good to see people actually praising Corrie for their work for once, instead of taking the mick out of their bad writing and continuity. They've excelled themselves with this storyline and it's only made me want to watch each episode more.

Yes, I was shocked, it was totally unexpected - I read and post spoilers in the main spoiler thread, but I had only read that Tina would die in hospital. It was a shock to see her injured body managing to gradually move more and more, with her saying "I'll get over this", so wondered what was going on, and then to see Rob finishing her off did shock me.

Too gullible Tina's world had been blown apart, her mind was hurting with emotions all over the place, her body was badly injured, her natural gobbiness was still there, it was all very sad and I thought that both Michelle and Marc acted well.

Well considering she didn't fall far, it was reported someone would kill her,we know she ends up in hospital, we knew that the killer was throwing a 'weapon' away, we knew a 'twist' would happen in the first few minutes, and the preview saw Carla threatening to 'kill' her I think it was obvious that what happened would happen. The only way it would have been a shock twist would have been if if Rob scarpered after pushing her and someone else did her in.

If Corrie wanted Rob to kill her then they could have had one of the other suspects push her, run away and then have Rob do the deed.

Some people don't understand what a twist is, it's an unexpected development in a story, not an un-preferred outcome.”

It wasn't unexpected so therefore it wasn't a twist, a twist would have been someone else finishing her off as already posted.

BIB: my thoughts exactly, it was a shock to see Tina conscious and I was practically shouting at the TV "shut up woman!" .
It was a very eerie scene between Tina and Rob and I was on edge thinking 'oh no he's not going too do it is he?', but then I could actually see him becoming more pitiless and looking more intense.

Was definitely thinking beforehand that someone else would finish her off and not Rob so yes a shock twist for me.

Well done Corrie!

It was a twist for me because I had thought all along that the twist was that someone else would finish her off, (Tony), so I was totally shocked that it was Rob. So in a way, the twist was that there was no twist.

The even bigger twist for me was that we had more dialogue from her. I was gobsmacked when she got up and started talking again!

Rob with the pipe on the cobbles, it's like a game of cluedo

Well it's not that unheard of in Corrie, John Stape plummeted from a much greater height and then got up and ran off much quicker than Tina started stirring and he did this in silence too, no oohs and aaahs from Stape.

I thought I saw a trailer of Tina standing in the pub telling Carla about her and Peter, I kept waiting for it but of course it never happened. Very odd

I would also like to add, why on earth was Chesney on the phone to Sinead like Sinead was some kind of bunny boiler, this was a conversation that never would have happened, but there had to be someone almost discovering Tina so they made this rubbish dialogue for Chesney about an insecure Sinead, I don't like things like this, it's lazy writing, it's like they all sat round a desk and decided Chesney would maybe stumble upon the situation, but to create this kind of phone call was ridiculous, surely a nice phonecall would have been more consistent with the Chesney and Sinead storyline

I am convinced that she was killed by the fall and that it was her ghost that hauled itself up from the cobbles, rather like the Patrick Swayze character in the film Ghost and that Rob is like the character in Sixth Sense in that he can see - and speak to - dead people.

I am seldom correct in my theories

HAHAHAHA that pipe would have been easy to dispose of, but he has belongings of Tina's too, all in a see through carrier bag in an unlocked outhouse which used to be a toilet, he is obviously not a professional like you Mr Trebus
