Kate doesn't seem to have any other emotion or thoughts towards Caz other than vile, aggressive and hostile. Was what she did so wrong? Was it enough to earn that reaction? Was it hell. Yet another example of a one dimensional character with one and only one response. No one is ever prepared to be reasonable.
I agree. I can understand showing kate acting angry, in an attempt to cover up underlying feelings she may still have for caz. People often act over the top because deep down feelings are still involved, but it doesn't come across that way....Kate is just acting like she despises the girl!! It's all very odd.

the writers do pick and choose which bits suit the storyline, I'm surprised that Rana as a Muslim woman is so flirty when Alia was mortified she'd had sex when drunk
Well I think it's more realistic to show two Muslim women with different attitudes and views towards things. Just because they're both Muslim women, doesn't mean they'd react to situations in the exact same way. It's a fact that people view their proffessed religion in different ways, some look at things moderately, some more strictly, some would tolerate and approve of some things that others wouldn't.

Plus Rana being flirty has allowed the whole s/l with zeedan needing to make more of an effort to state his beliefs regarding sex before marriage.

Why all the gushing about Leanne bring such a good asset to the bistro, and constant scenes showing the apparent laugh a minute good time Robert has in her presence, prompting nick to feel jealous that he's been rejected by the wonderful, life of the party lass that is leanne. She always seems to come across as bossy and sour faced to me. Are we really supposed to believe this big battle over her affections.

Could the writers not have had a better build up to the Maria and Aiden moment? The wrong flowers plot device was so very poor. And why would Maria get quite so annoyed with Luke about a mix up with flowers. Bellowing "NO, IT'LL BE LUKE, HE'S SO USELESS SOMETIMES" in an angry demeaning way in front of everyone.
Maria was horrible in that scene. It reminded me of Michelle's behaviour towards Steve, mocking him publicly - before Michelle was canonised of course. Now we know that she's the best thing that ever happened to him.

But Maria seems to be treating Luke as just a nuisance. They never had much chemistry - well none really - and now their relationship seems more like flatmates who dislike one another.

AKA In a Pat Phelan kind of way!
AKA The standard Corrie smirk. Done many times by many characters.

Maria & Luke are meant to be engaged but since their engagement I've never seen them look loved up, making plans for the wedding (which presumably would be on hold due to her still being married to that Brazilian/Portugese/wherever he was from guy), talk excitedly to others about the other one etc. They're the least interesting couple currently on the street with the least amount of chemistry.

A bit of an over-reaction there. It makes you wonder whether he's less than satisfactory in other departments.

Maria & Luke are meant to be engaged ..............
Is that possible, doesn't she, as a married person, lack the capacity to become engaged? Or is an engagement no longer a contract? I know it's many years since anyone could sue for a broken engagement as a "breach f contract".

Way back in the 1940s, or thereabouts, a famous woman successfully sued a newspaper columnist (Cassandra) for saying she was engaged. She argued that, if this were true, she couldn't be married, and hence was living in sin with her husband. (And, if she had any, her children were bastards).

Mind, this was the same man who was sued for libel because he claimed Liberace was gay.

I think engagements are a more casual agreement now, in the sense that they are a personal commitment. But the fact that Maria is actually married seems to have been mostly forgotten. In reality - a long way from Corrie, I know - Maria would be quite possibly facing legal consequences for that marriage which is blatantly fake, and an engagement to another man would make it even more obvious. Since she sent him on his way, with instructions to live a 'fabulous life', how's she going to find him to divorce him? And wouldn't the character be aware that she's committed a crime?

He'd heard the conversation about Kate's mother not liking carnations, so it was clear he did it deliberately. And he would pay an extra fiver to make sure it works.
Oh well, we shall agree to differ. No matter, as Meldrewman already pointed out it the outcome was in little doubt.

Seems we're divided. I thought it was genuine mistake as well. He was so wound up that Maria was letting Caz interfere with their life together and although he heard what was said about pink carnations disliked, roses liked he did what I do sometimes - let it pass through without actually registering in his brain because he was only paying lip service by doing her a favour ordering and paying for the flowers even though he didn't really want to.

Having read the comments here, I'm not sure if Luke did it on purpose either. And can someone please clarify whether Maria and Adian actually did the deed? Or was it just a grope and a snog?

However, they were buttoning up clothes in the next scene.

If they did do the deed, what are the chances of Maria not being pregnant?

Chortle. Chortle.

BIB And?

It does make a difference.

No sex but just a grope and a snog - will Eva have him back?

Sex - will Eva have him back?

Can't wait for Eva to find out about them.

Just think of all that moaning with Sean, face pulling, sulking and pouting.

Perfect summery of how characters behave, that along with their OTT stupidity. Hence why I find it difficult to care for any of the characters.

Of course there'll be different views and reactions within the Muslim faith just as there is within Christianity. There are major differences between Protestants and Catholics, with even more differences between sects within them such as Methodists and Jehovah's witnesses.

Maria, Leanne and Eva all very well turned out as usual. Then there's Izzy!

Of course Sally Webster is dressed in her comedy Mrs Thatcher suit as usual.

Talking of comedy outfits - just one word. Gemma.

The time-line is baffling again tonight.

Was Gemma delivering morning papers as Norris had been getting complaints all afternoon? What time did she get back to the shop.

The hen party in the Bistro were on their dessert.
Liam was still at the child minders.
Ruby and Hope were out clubbing, I guess as Ty and Fiz were in the pub.

I'm getting to the point where I haven't a clue what time of the day it's supposed to be

Jehovah's witnesses are not a sect, because they have not broken away from another church, and they do not have a leader.
