I thought for a minute that we were actually going to see Liz's face minus slap, but no. And Michelle's flicked-up eyeliner was there in its full glory. It's such an odd look, and just makes it more obvious that about 80% of KM's acting is rolling he eyes.
They were all talking as if the trial was going to be over very quickly, and as if they knew that Gemma would be called to give evidence on the first day which seems unlikely. Surely it's not possible to predict the length of a trial, particularly of a serious crime? All they'd know would be that it would go on for much longer than a day or two! This trial will be relatively short as Clayton has done a deal with the prosecution service, in that he is pleading guilty to manslaughter. There is no need to prove the case. |

Given up watching and I've been a viewer since the 70's.
I can't even defend it. I've lost all respect for CS as a drama, Oh for the days of cleaver writing and actors who gave a damn about their art. |

Just caught up with last night's offering.
What a load of old tosh the cellar scenes were. I was bored to tears. Even Ken's acting was embarrassing |

Regarding the Tommy Orpington and skip scenes that were queried as to whether they were replacement edits for Sharif, I asked a journalist friend of mine.
Tommy was cast before the Sharif stuff happened, but the skip becomes significant in the future (!). The scenes that have been edited are not due to be shown for another couple of weeks, when it all comes out about his romance. ![]() Quote:

Don't they do a lot of other stuff on the first few days of a trial rather than launch in with evidence? Quote:
Yes they can in most cases.
This trial will be relatively short as Clayton has done a deal with the prosecution service, in that he is pleading guilty to manslaughter. There is no need to prove the case. Whatever happens, trials are always over very quickly in Corrie. Will Norris and Mary will be there with a packed lunch?

Kens stroke looked worse than patrick, Kens face looked all affected, hopefully peter will phone the ambulance quick, cause as they say, the quicker you call. For help, the more of the person you save
Kens stroke is obviously a plot device, for other barlows to return |

I don't understand all this about the trial. The policewoman told David that Clayton was going for manslaughter but the jury could still find him guilty of murder. Without a trial, how could they possibly decide?

and how many times will it be referenced or seen again in the future?

The cellar thing is absolutely ridiculous, another product of one of the famous scriptwriters meetings....
They couldn't come up with a sensible way to stop David carrying out his plan, so decided they family would lock him away somewhere. As there was no secure place to lock him away, they then decided to create a cellar for the purpose. No previous reference to it ever, and even if they'd hinted that it had been created when the Bistro was converted from a road/archway, as mentioned above, the viaduct would collapse - and if nothing else, they'd have built a modern, brightly lit, smooth walled cellar, rather than the Victorian brick built dungeon we saw last night! Scriptwriter 1 "But who is going to notice?" Scriptwriter 2 "Only those pesky posters on the Digitalspy SOR thread" Scriptwriter 3 "Great! Let's go for it then!" SOR thread? More like nitpick everything thread. |

Well why would it be? It's only relevant as they need somewhere to store David out of the way. What do you want, them to constantly mention it in future?
Well let's face it no matter what they do you will still complain, so it doesn't matter. SOR thread? More like nitpick everything thread. |

They haven't been consistent about the trial. If Clayton does plead guilty to manslaughter but there is a prospect of him being found guilty of murder, which is what the police liaison officer told David, there would surely be a proper trial, not just going through the formalities. If it were going to be over quickly with the manslaughter plea accepted, why would Gemma be giving evidence?
I don't claim to know much about trials and court procedures but it seems to me that if Clayton was just going for sentencing because of his plea, then what the policewoman said doesn't make sense and witnesses are not needed! Still, this is a Corrie trail, so let's hope they've learned from Steve McDonald's oath when Peter was on trial. SO HELP ME GOD! ![]()
