The whole scene was done purely to portray the male characters as idiots while showing the female characters in a "look what we have to put up with!" light to enhance the ever so professional and marvellous Michelle persona.

laughable isn't it, all the beautiful places around Manchester and Cheshire and he chooses to meet in a back street pub. Where was his partner, didn't they want to discuss the wedding? I know it's a soap and reality is suspended, but really.

I agree, ludicrous corrie writing once again! So much for us hoping things would get better with the new producer

I don't think Les Battersby was that bad when he met his musical heroes 'Status Quo' and they ended up in The Rovers.

There's no gas left in that tank, so she has reverted to form and is now spoonfeeding us our daily pablum.

It's just a repeat of the Ken and Nessa "romance" , when Audrey was in love with Ken(whatever happened to that?), and she was hanging around the Street in the dark watching them arrive home like a lovesick teenager. Nessa was her rival then for Ken, now is it going to be Rita for Freddie? I know Rita is a good 10 years older then Audrey, but she looked just as good, if not better last night.

Embarrassing wasn't it.

I suppose just to talk about the services she can offer it is okay to meet in the back room of a pub (away from the public).

The (soon to be) Footballer's Wife (!), was modeling elsewhere. Just hope that she doesn't turn out to be an old flame of Steve's and we have a repeat of Michelle's previous client story !

If he was a semi famous footballer would he honestly go to back street pub wedding planner?

Why, is it only the men that seem to meet Michelle for said planning? I don't know any brides to be that would trust their men with wedding planning, nor I would imagine, would the men want to!

Well...I don't agree to be honest. If I was a wedding planner and was meeting a potentially very rich client who would be worth an extra 20% on top of what I usually charge, then I'd be booking a meeting room in a swanky hotel or office suite and buying them coffee or lunch nibbles.
I wouldn't invite them around my grotty back room in a pub to slurp tea out of my chipped mugs as I flick through a few leaflets out of my pink folder, as it would look like I don't really handle high-end celebrity weddings.
Like the pub lunches are served out of that kitchen - so in reality there are hotpot smells going on all day there, not to mention the jukebox noise etc.

That is why I am not a Wedding Planner

How come that footballer scored a goal against an imaginary team Scarsdale , and one against a real team Hartlepool ? ......Whilst playing for an imaginary team ? .....at least he was in the pub 'early doors' to keep the football cliché lovers happy !

Sorry to be positive .........but :

IMO, there has been a definite improvement in Corrie, recently.

I really didn't mind the farcical footballer scenario. Steve is always OTT with his comedy !! Personally, I enjoy such nonsensical scenes - it detracts from the heavy issues. Also, how would we all cope without Michelle/ we are lucky to have her, hovering, arms folded in the background ??

I guess that if we didn't criticise their poetic licence - this thread wouldn't exist

Even the client who wasn't planning a wedding was a man! Cameron was the bloke who was planning a 16th birthday party for his daughter. As soon as Michelle dumped him he was never seen again just like Will was never seen again after she got to close to him.

Michelle doesn't seem to have much success with her business. She lot Cameron and will's events. She planned Beth's wedding only for Beth to change her mind. Wouldn't they have had a contract? Then there was Tracy's wedding. Cancelled. Carla's wedding Annulled?

Michelle is so upmarket!

Yep. Pure Corrie cliché.

Idiot men.

Strong, feisty women.

I think we are heading for a good story with David and I can see where he might be going with it.

just wish he'd stop looking like he's going to turn into a werewolf

Nip down the shops for a pink folder. That's all it takes for a career change!

It's his special psycho face!

I'm still irked by the stupidity of the flats scam - or rather the extreme unlikeliness if all those folk falling for it. No, if you wanted a solution to an urgent housing problem you would not put money down on a flat which is not built, in a development which has not started and give it to an ex-bankrupt builder and his dodgy chum.

Nor would you go ahead thinking that your only financial hurdle was finding the £15k reservation fee with never a thought to the £100k + which you would still have to find.

It's so fundamentally wrong that it undermines any storyline connected to the flats, for me anyway.

Has Michelle actually had any success stories where potential new wedding planning clients have had recommendations from her previous clients? When the new clients ask her for examples of previous weddings she has successfully planned what exactly does she show them. Does she take pictures of weddings she has found on Google and pretend they were all her own work? "Yes it was my idea for the thrones at the Beckham's wedding", "I told Prince William it would be a good idea to kiss Kate on the balcony for all the crowds below to cheer",

Don't think pink is my colour. Would blue or black work ?

No! It has to be pink to have any chance of a successful business.

You might change your mind when Phelan slips a brochure in your mailbox outling the attainability of luxury living. Romanesque architecture done in a subtle fashion so it doesn't overpower the modern interior design. Phelan knows the residents of coronation street demand the highest quality and specs and has contracted only the finest interior designers from Paris France. All this for fifteen grand. I won't be missing this gravy train so I suggest you get on board and start livin' large.

James I think you should be awarded Word of the Week for 'pablum'
I'm impressed, and I know Ken would be too .
