CS Ken bit hypocritical
Ken is a bit hypocritical to have a go at Tracy for upsetting Deirdre when he has had multiple affairs and hasn't always been there for Deirdre. When Ken returned from Canada he partly caused Deirdre's stress by shouting at her and blaming her for not handling things that well with Peter. Deirdre did get stressed with Tracy but underneath she did love her

That was funny seeing Tracy run off crying. Finally gets a taste of her own medicine. She never considers other people's feelings so the should be done to her.
Deirdre is far from innocent either, but that is forgotten and only Ken gets criticized for his past mistakes. |

Tracy has been such a horror, she deserves anything and everything that's thrown at her.
I think it's quite ridiculous how the producers have had her escaping justice and even condemnation time after time. |

Considering this is an episode to say goodbye to Anne Kirkbride as well as Deirdre I found it really disrespectful, and out of character as well. Not sure why I expected anything more from this writing team.

I'd imagine her family and friends have already been to her funeral. However, I'd still be interested to know in what way you consider it disrespectful. |

Was it? Who said so? Was it announced as such? And for whom to say goodbye?

Agreed. Ken hasn't been lily white where Deirdre's concerned either. End of the day Tracy loved her mum and for Ken to say those things, especially when they were in church saying their goodbyes, was out of order.
Whatever Ken said was no more than she deserved & she should think long & hard about it but no!! She'll be whinging to the nearest person about how out of order it was & how she loved her Mum more than anything.... yeah right!! |

Tracy used her Mum!! She had little or no respect for her and always teeated her with scorn rather than affection!! I haven't watched the episodes yet but I can tell you now I will be feeling zero pity for Tracy!! After all, as other posters have said, when did she ever feel pity or shoe any respect to others in bereavement!!

The thing is, Ken has always been a massive hypocrite. He's always looked down on the behaviour of others while conducting his own string of sordid affairs. He's always judged how others have raised their children but has had very little to do with the upbringing of any of his own! This part was quite in keeping with Ken's character in my opinion.
Saying that, I still didn't enjoy the episodes really - the writing and general tone of the whole show has slipped in recent months and I hope it gets back on track soon! I watch out of habit now, patiently waiting for it to pick up. |

The whole Ken thing is that Deirdre spent her last few months away from home & her family & friends becuse of the shame of Tracey having an affair with her best friend's bloke. Thats what he resents, missing that time with her, over the years I'm sure he realises he has been nearly as big a pillock as Tracy has

The affair was only common knowledge about three weeks ago though so what reason did she have to stay away before that? and Tracy has done much worse than sleep with a bloke going out with Liz and wouldn't Deirdre have spoken to Tracy or Ken on the phone and mentioned this?

Thats not the point, the story of Deirdre staying away because of Tracey is the line they are using regardless of how accurate it really is, - hence Kens actions.

I think I would be as head-f**ked as Tracy was with three ex-husbands hanging around

I thought the episode last night was rubbish. I wanted to be moved by the funeral, but wasn't because the camera kept flicking to the Dog and Gun. You could see that some of the characters were genuinely upset (I think). Tracy was out of order kissing her ex and so was Ken for having a go at her in the Church. Did they show Annie's bets bits at the end? I think I gave up then !!

I agree. Ken also caused Deirdre stress and Peter - where was the useless lump yesterday anyway - what's the point of this character turning up if not to be at the funeral? Tracy was a horror show but she was her only child and D loved her unconditionally. Bev is a bloody trouble maker and should keep her beak out. Plus what was all that bickering between Ken and Tracy at the funeral about? Very disrespectful - couldnt their arguments wait half an hour? Both as bad as each other. Ken looks so old now I thought.

Ken has never murdered anyone so I'd say he definitely holds the moral high ground over Tracy. He may have had the odd affair but so did Deirdre in fact she started it by cheating with Mike. In terms of causing Deirdre stress finding out Ken had had a brief fling with his secretary doesn't really compare to your daughter being on trial for premeditated murder.
I laughed when said to Tracy 'just as I thought you could sink no lower' you don't know the half of it Kenny! He's yet to find out she's responsible for the deaths of two more people and has allowed a third innocent person to take the blame. |
