The moment that Liz spoke to him, to my mind they were already telegraphing that before long they will be a couple....

Then Liz can screech and humiliate him in front of the pub. She is used to doing that to people.

Hopefully he sticks around, but predictable Corrie will probably get rid of him after a few weeks.

Dont worry, the nose tube will be making a guest appearance.

Wasn't Liz around when the Phelan saga was going on? Nobody knew about the prostitution but they all knew about Phelan being the cause of the Armstrong/Windass trouble, didnt they? And he had been in the Rovers a few times. Shouldn't somebody have recognised him?

How many times has Carla had her spleen removed now.

Aidan and Kate Connor didn't look one bit concerned about Carla lying in the road. Probably just thought 'oh dear, she must have started early and no tea'.

Well except they'd have to build the set for Izzy's flat. Easier to make us believe Izzy had to ring a babysitter and winch herself up the stairs to Anna's. Or Anna could have phoned her.

If someone phoned me and said "Come round. Something has happened" without elaborating further, I would assume something tragic had happened and be inclined to thump them when I got there and found it was only that Phelan was in the street.

If it was a conscious homage then it was poorly done, it was very cringe worthy and it certainly wasn't funny.

Can't remember as I was a teenager at the time they were most active in the late 50s/early 60s and, as I said, unless you were in direct contact with them, you weren't really aware of what they were up to apart from what was reported. We didn't know at the time that my father had any contact with them because he was a perfectly normal father and, as far as we know, did nothing other than have a drink with them. I think he was far too honest and moral to have got involved in anything. He didn't judge people. So, if someone was a thief he was a thief and that's as far as his judgement went.

Ron and Reg were altar boys for my old vicar, when he was in Bethnal Green.

We said that in our house - how is she going to get better without the magic nose tubes?!

Also agree about the stretcher on the cobbles. I winced as Carla bumped and crashed along a few inches from the ground.

If what appeared to be a low speed fall onto cobbles can cause that much damage to a person there is only one course of action available.

The cobbles must be ripped up and tarmac laid.

I had a not dissimilar accident a couple of weeks ago. Too boring to explain the details, but I was dragged along the ground a bit then dropped to the ground at about that speed. I suffered nothing more than bruises and scrapes. The worst part for me was not being able to stand up again - not from injuries but because of arthritis - and I had to be hauled to my feet by a passer-by I didn't know, which was all very embarrassing indeed.

Carla's accident brought it all back!

Pretty stupid comment from Sally about they should have 20 MPH limit in the street, it was 2 crooks trying to escape from a robbery did she actually think they would have took any notice of the speed limit.

Tim told her as much

Just think when she decides to stand in the local election to get on the council expect some right gems in her campaigning.

Thanks.


Crikey. You lot have had interesting lives!

This Anna - Kevin thing is quite nonsensical. Two people who have known each other for years and have never felt the slightest attraction for each other have now (very implausibly) gone on a couple of dates and are formally announcing to their families they are in a "relationship". This might work if it was coming off the back of them holding a torch for each other for years : seeing as the only thing they have in common is that they live on the same street, you'd imagine the two of them would be trying to downplay it's significance but also that they wouldn't be very optimistic about it going anywhere and see it as just a short term thing themselves.

The cobbles ripped up? The cobbles ARE Coronation Street! The hallowed cobbles can never be ripped up.


It was laughable the way Sophie reacted with 'like what,' when Sally said she knew a lot about different things. What the hell does Sophie Webster know? Yet she's at the garage behaving like she's the world's next billionaire businessperson. Donald Trump better watch out.

We've seen Izzys place before I'm sure? Unless she's moved since her and Gary split up...

This. - and the ridiculous sight of them, particularly Anna, acting like naive teenagers at the breakfast table in Monday's episode.

Both of them are usually cynical and world weary, none of it rings true......the whole thing looks really forced.

Where is Izzy's place? Is it on t'Street (or on the set at any rate)?

Its away from the street. Might have only been included on the old set I suppose
