Very sad and disappointing.

And why is Adam not called Adam Baldwin?”

I imagine because Susan raised him without his father knowing he existed. Susan had told Mike she'd had an abortion.

You're joking, it was great acting

I thought Deirdre' s gurning and overacting was embarrassing

I don't know how people expect Ken to react? Shrug it off and ask what is for tea?

Ken has flown off the handle in the past, so it wasn't exactly out of character for him last night. Him and Deirdre are making up again soon anyway and going on a holiday.

I was satisfied when he told Rob to leave, long time coming. Deirdre shouldn't of let Rob and Tracy through the door after they tried to trash the house just so they can try and move in. Tracy needs to be put out as well and stand on her own two feet, she gets off with too much.

True.

It was daft when Ken told Deirdre she had seen Peter grow up - Peter and Susan were brought up in Scotland.
Oh scriptwriters.!

I loved his opening line where he mentioned how the street never changes. I took that immediately to be an in-joke reference to the fact the production moved out of Quay Street whilst Bill was off and of course the new set is much larger with significant changes from the old set.

It was really embarrassing to watch last night.”

i think many on here still watch it out of habit, me included. The standards have certainly slipped over past few years and Mondays episode was laughable

Ken and Deirdre have always been great comedy value in their dramatic scenes. Monday was no different. It was classic Corrie and I loved every moment of it. Hilarious stuff

Well I liked Monday and tonight's scenes. Different opinions I suppose, I can take this over the library dross from last week or the boring Leanne/Nick war.
