There was so much emphasis on everybody going to lunch to celebrate. But the clock in the cafe said 2.20 when Tyrone was buying donuts? Late lunch?h

Anna was lying in her hospital bed, with the blankets seemingly tightly folded around her. Wouldn't she have a "tent" over her, to prevent anything touching her burnt skin?
I also found it ironic that, after the defence counsel had presented a picture of the murder being self defence, when the police talked to the residents, they all firmly said that it was "only an accident".

Yes, very true, many people prefer a bath, but if there was a shower in the bathroom it would be over the bath, with a screen or a plastic curtain!!
I'm sure that David was in a glass enclosure, I dont think their bathroom is that big. The house is almost 30 years old, so I doubt very much it would have an ensuite in the master bedroom like newish houses. Mind you that house can stretch to accomodate any amount of people upstairs, so nothing would surprise me

I dont know why they have Michelle blocking the screen. The whole thing was pointless. who cares if she gets scared by a fireball and chooses to sit there rather than check if her family are ok?

it is half term round here. Or maybe hope had a teacher training day or was allowed compassionate leave so she could join in the celebration for Anna and kevin moving into an overcrowded house.

I like how Anna stood waving her arms like a Wallace and Gromit character when the fireball came towards her.

Yes there are far too many comedy characters and Corrie need to sort them out. Not get rid of them but perhaps toughreing them up a bit would work. Gemma was tough. She stuck up for Callum and played her part in getting rid of the gun. Now she's a lovable, comedy character.

What they really need are subliminal messages. Summat like
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
YOU WILL ALL LOVE MICHELLE
should work.
You know Bet was so superficial with her look. OTT make-up. OTT hair. OTT clothes. OTT personailty. But she worked because we saw the very human side of the character. They might be trying that now with Michelle. Sad, preggers Michelle and Steve's medical issue. Awwww Poor Michelle. Explosions and flying glass. Awwww poor sad Michelle. But it's just not working. She's just not a sympathetic character. Michelle's perfect eye makeup even when she's crying doesn't help either!
Homer and Marge! LOL Why stop at TV?
Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara
Danny and Sandy
Jack and Rose
Edward Cullen and Bella Swan
Baby and Johnny
Mr & Mrs Smith
Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy
Steve and Michelle are icons and legends of the soap world and could be any of the above!

It's always the same on Corrie. Only those visible on screen are allowed to be present in a disaster! No-one appeared from the factory either!

Lily and Gary both trapped under cars and then there's nowt wrong with them. It was a bit like when Carla drove into Cathy and she was in hospital for half a day!

Sorry meant 1.20.
When David was in the locked car, trying to get it started, he had the personna of a mentally ill person. Then, after all of the commotion, he was his "normal" self again.
I was a bit confused about so much emphasis on Michelle too. I expected her to suddenly have stomach cramps and have to be rushed in to hospital having a baby scare, not that she was OK.
Wouldn't it have been a great excuse to get rid of the pitiful Sean Tully character. Billy could have administered the Last Rites while everyone else cheered him on.

I guess the shock of nearly killing your daughter and maiming a neighbour can do that to a person

Those schmuck lawyers will drag that out until there's nothing left. I dont expect a quick trial. Two or three days should just about cover the opening statements. Shysters. They can spend your dollar just as easy as they spend your dime.

The beginning of Anna and Kev's relationship was also odd. They'd only been out a couple of times, and all the fuss and palaver started about them being a couple.
Oh dear, Michelle. Her acting is so limited, it's woeful. She puts one expression on, usually miserable, and it just sticks there. When she was angry with Steve for staying in Spain - though she'd been messing around with Weird Will - that expression appeared and didn't change for weeks. It's so exaggerated, it's like a clown's face painted to show sadness.
When all the attention switched to her, I was sure we were in for some dramatic medical emergency connected to her pregnancy, but no - it was Michelle over-reacting.
Mind you, we're lucky to have her.
What I don't get is lots watched David crash the car ,and trap the kid and ginger ,but david managed to get out of an upturned car unhurt and still be the first to try and get the trapped pair out ,why didn't Kevin and all the other blokes get there first ,Gary had a car on top of him yet walks away fine ,strange episode

Don't be rotten, didn't she have enough to contend with all the trauma of hearing the crash and having the pub windows broken. No wonder everyone was concerned for her and her shock, after all, the other people being trapped and injured will be dealt with in due course, Michelle has No. 1. Priority, never forget that!

Ah but you forget that David put his seatbelt on before tearing off.
I didn't get why Fiz made the kids paint in the back yard.
Would a few splatters have made much difference in the hovel?
Also, what a pile of dog sheisse re. half the street partying that Kev and Fishwife were going to co-habit.
Does anyone really do that, cos I sure as hell don't know anyone who has, myself included.

No. Never. Never heard of it.
But if I did go to Kevin and Anna's living in sin do, I would demand they tell me where they are all going to sleep.
AND....(rant coming up)
Why would Gary be happy about his mother going to live with someone who cheated on his wife more times than I can remember and has had a spell in prison for violence?
She would be better off with flaming Phelan!
