He hears their confessions in Eileen's back passage
![]() ![]() Actually, I didn't mean confessions, as he's not a priest, I meant about arranging funerals , weddings. etc., where does he take them ? Into Eileen's lovely home![]() Quote:
What I don't get is they seem to be promoting the myth that what anybody tells Billy is in confidence and cannot be repeated to anyone, maybe someone should point out that Billy is not a Catholic priest and that he is actually a C of E vicar so the in confidence rules do not apply.

Just wondering does Billy now live at Eileen's hovel now as well? Do his parishioners have to come to Eileen's if they want to speak to him about things?
![]() ![]() Re the confessional thing, wasn't there a scene where Todd asked Billy about it and Billy said he'd have to consult the bishop or something? |

Michelle isn't beautiful. She's attractive but not beautiful. Sitting next to Maria shows that. Maria is much better looking than Michelle and she has a nicer figure and better legs. Yet, no-one ever compliments Maria.

Doesn't he have his own place where the dodgy brother is holed up? Though I doubt he'd leave the brother alone there
Re the confessional thing, wasn't there a scene where Todd asked Billy about it and Billy said he'd have to consult the bishop or something? I would imagine the vicarage is in some residential area., which I imagine would be nowhere near the Street, I would think somewhere out in Audreh's area, so why is he always about morning, noon and night? Surely , he can't possibly be living at Eileens? |

Why was the fallout of Michelle's infidelity played out as a bad comedy?
Makes me think that the writers have no confidence that "Steve" can act out a dramatic role so just have him doing his usual buffoonery. Don't get me started on the cab office fight.....it is like watching a show for children and a total insult to our intelligence as viewers

You know if Harry Hill was still on he'd be ripping the piss out of this "Steve is so lucky to have her" nonsense!

I was in awe of last night's two episodes myself.
I can't quite believe how Michelle's behaviour turned into comedy. People have said it all already but the comment about him sitting in the chair at the cab office "like someone had popped his balloon" made me lol. Spot on. The 'fight' that happened afterwards was beyond terrible. All that was missing from the whole thing was the Benny Hill soundtrack playing. I know Corrie likes to play itself (at times at least) as more light hearted than stuff like EastEnders but this was a step too far considering what had gone on. I was also baffled about Eileen's! Where the hell do all these people fit in at all?! And the way Billy popped in first thing was like a schoolkid coming in for breakfast. Hilarious! Nick is back so it's more amazing facial expressions from him. Something else to amuse me at least. Michelle going off with her "I'M THE ViCTIM!" isn't going to do her any favours. Yes you can say she would be frustrated that Steve never seemed to be coming back. I get the picture that she understood at first about him going away due to illness etc but over time she's thinking he's not coming back, he's showing no interest and all that. It depends on the timeframe he was away to make it fully work (as I wasn't watching for a long time whilst Steve was away so I don't know how long it was supposed to be) but even so, you wouldn't class yourself as a victim, more say how it contributed to your mistake. I also noticed all the Norris, Phelan stuff that still has no explanation too. |

i liked jason's heat proof hand holding his HOT vimto by the mug and making no attempt to hold the handle.
why is it too hard for directors to say you are holding a hot drink, use the handle billy comes in "pweez misus gwimshaw can I hab some hot bimto too" :P like a small excited toddler ![]() Amy had a carton of soya milk plonked in front of her face just to say, look we remembered she's lactose intolerant. |

I felt like I was watching an awful parody last night. It was farcical. Tim's "special brew" yet another pointless filler storyline. Todd's interview with the police. He could've at least tried to make it sound believable. Then the Steve/Michelle "drama". I can't understand why they went down the route of playing it for laughs. The taxi office scene in particular was an absolute embarrassment. I love how Maria has now replaced Carla as Michelle's best friend despite the fact that they've shared barely a couple of scenes together in recent memory and haven't been close for a long time. The parody was complete when Michelle stormed off at the end of the ep shouting "I'm the victim". Just when you think it can't get any worse ...

![]() "3.5 A clear distinction must be made between pastoral conversations and a confession that is made in the context of the ministry of absolution. Where such a confession is to be made both the priest and the penitent should be clear that that is the case. If a penitent makes a confession with the intention of receiving absolution the priest is forbidden (by the unrepealed Provisoto Canon 113 of the Code of 1603) to reveal or make known to any person what has been confessed. This requirement of absolute confidentiality applies even after the death of the penitent. 3.6 If, in the context of such a confession, the penitent discloses that he or she has committed a serious crime, such as the abuse of children or vulnerable adults, the priest must require the penitent to report his or her conduct to the police or other statutory authority. If the penitent refuses to do so the priest should withhold absolution." |

Could someone remind me where the Platts are moving to? It can't be their own house, because that's been partly demolished. Plus, being a crime scene, I doubt the police would allow anything to happen at the property.
Audrey's, maybe? But that's outside the street, and the force field prevents them leaving the street for other than short periods. ![]() ![]() ![]() The street is like a cross between the village in The Prisoner and the Eagles' Hotel California! Quote:

Sean's bedroom is the front downstairs room, he's been there for about 12 years. It's only a two bedroom house , Todd and Jason shared a room when they first moved in as boys. They seem to find it impossible to move out, for some reason.................

Was Michelle really going to let Amy blackmail her? Amy knew nothing about Will that she could have used anyway. The whole bloody thing is a farce! |

Actually i think they use the front living room as a bedroom since they have the sofa and tv in the dining room, But everyone is seen coming down the stairs in the morning i guess from the bathroom, Its the same in Pats old house in EE the is room for a big Dining room thats never been seen.
Hang on, Sean lives there so they are still 1 bedroom short. |

I thought there was only one room and a kitchen downstairs. This room has a table, chairs, sofa and TV. It's been obvious in several episodes that Sean doesn't sleep on the sofa. Though I suppose it's possible there's another room. After all, there's space for at least three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.
I dont think we've ever seen Eileen's front room, but Sean has been sleeping in there for about 12 years, which is beyond ridiculous . Hard to believe I know, but they don't have three bedrooms upstairs, they are the old style two up , two down houses . |

You men the street pedant.
Never like speculation when facts are available, especially as official bumf is so easy to find.. People can then draw their own conclusions from official guff. You could tell: Cathy to stop acting like a half-wit and that she should really be dead or at least still in hospital. Roy to stop babbling on. Sinead to talk with a less snotty voice. Beth and Kirk to stop being so daft. Gail that she used to be a strong woman instead of the simpering nitwit she's become. Sean to stop being an OTT drama queen. Ty that the Christmas extravaganza was ridiculous. Fiz that she says aww far too much. Liz off about the way she dresses and for taking too many men through her bar flap. Sally that she's a ridiculous snob. Yasmeen that she's another ridiculous snob. Sharif that no one is interested in him and his comedy chickens. Norris to stop being a ridiculous, bitchy old windbag. Jason that he's been too OTT about Tony's death and his arrest. Michelle that she isn't the greatest business person ever and her admirers they talk a load of old cobblers. Tracy to stop with the same old bitching and plotting. Sarah to stop whining on about Callum. Sophie to stop kissing other lesbians. The fishwife to stop screaming. Eileen that it's weird to have all those men aged 30+ living in her house. And think of all the things you could have said to Carla!
