Me too. Why did Robert suddenly become concerned about Michelle? And if she was coming down the stairs as she said how would she have seen there was lots of glass flying about?

Yes I noticed that. Cafe clock said 1.20pm when Ty was buying 4 large, greasy, sugar-coated doughnuts as a mid morning snack for the pre-schoolers. They won't be eating much lunch or dinner with one of those lodged in their intestines..
Fiz wasn't minding Harry, as later on she said 'I better get back to the girls'.
Audrey wasn't minding Harry either as we saw her on her own earlier.
It's was all 'where's Lily, where's Lily'. No one cared that Harry has been left on his own for about 12hrs. Unless Michael had taken him for a walk - but they could have told us that...

It really spoils a scene when you are wondering who is doing the babysitting?

Maybe Robert is going to become Michelle's shoulder to cry on later on. Dull and Duller.

Yes, it was odd. As I said before they went out a couple of times, slept together and then announced they were officially a couple! Apart from Anna having a couple of fishwife meltdowns, there's been to show their relationship. someone else who the hell has a moving in together party, who the hell announces 'We're a couple'?!!

The acting in Corrie is mostly OTT. Michelle's reactions are OTT. This could be down to the director who perhaps tells the actors to overdo it. Corrie are not doing Michelle any favours by trying to force her 'popularity' and 'importance' on the viewers. Michelle and Steve have no chemistry as a couple and as it stands she is not a lovable character either. I don't think they should get rid of her but Corrie need a rethink on the character. But then they need a rethink on a number of characters.

they also forgot that Hope would have been in school as we saw Max, Amy and Simon in their uniforms, yet tyone said Fizz had 'our two and lilly' implying hope was at home all day.

Bethany was also absent so maybe she took Harry out to pickup Max from school

No matter how much money ITV spend on stunts and blowing up sets, they'd do well to remember less is more. I thought it was hilarious. Some scenes were unnecessary, others stilted like Sally and Luke either side of Michelle (looking gormless!) whilst the Rovers finest proclaimed 'what the hell is going on?'. Scenes for the sake of scenes.

I (sadly) couldn't help but chuckle when Anna was on fire. Was that the intention? Now when fire crawled up on Bet's dressing gown and she let out a scream.......that was terrifying.

Numerous SOR's during Friday's episode but the fact that David's car ended up upside down would immediately tell the police he must have been doing 50 or 60mph at least, and not "He wasn't speeding, it was an accident" as Gail and Sarah hilariously told them.

David clearly should have been sectioned after the incident for his own safety (and that's not even taking into account his farewell video and suicide bomb plans) but he is living with the most dysfunctional family in the UK and three people who are as mental as he is.

Hmm, I'm not sure that Gary is any position to hold the moral high ground on any of that!

Unless there is a link to something happening to the baby, I'm not sure why Michelle needed to be in the episode at all. Liz wasn't. But you're right, she's a dire character and as you say there is no chemistry with her and Steve. They try to make Michelle a strong, feisty character but it just comes across as selfish, cold and bullying. Steve was much better with Karen and Becky but he just doesn't gel with Michelle.

Away from the dramatic storyline on Friday, looking instead at the "comedy" relief of Mary and Beth: Why did Mary, after Beth had got back to her "Chain Gang", and swapped over the coat and hat, did Mary have to climb out of the window? Why didn't she just wait until Beth and the woman in charge had gone and walk out of the door?

But it is such a common occurrence in Corrie and all soaps, children conveniently not being around when not required for a scene, we should be used to it by now.

All part of the comedy relief having Mary clambering out of the window.

I nearly dislocated my jaw yawning

You should have phoned the helpline number they give out for people who have been affected by the episode.

Yup, if you have recently gone on fire after rescuing your son from an upturned car who was in turn rescuing a small child from being run over by her dad who was on route to carry out a murder/ suicide plan to blow up himself and the bloke who murdered his missus then please dial this number...

You're right - why was Michelle there, even the centre of attention, when all the serious action was out in the street? She seemed forced into it, as if she can't be left out of anything.

The Steve/Michelle pairing has done Steve no favours as he's turned into a ridiculous caricature a lot of the time, gurning and behaving like a giant toddler.

Don't suppose you jotted the number down did you, I missed it at the time.....

Steve was a much better character when he was with Karen and Becky, they actually wrote him as a much better person and a man with opinions, instead of now as you say gurning and acting as an idiot at every opportunity. Now he is like some bowing, kowtowing minion to the mighty Michelle (she who must be obeyed) and it is dreadful and painful to watch and such a shame as he used to be one of our favourites in Corrie

if michelle gets any higher prominence on the show they will end up renaming in Kymarshatuon Street

this is interesting Re the stunt

They'd only been out on a couple of dates when Anna actually used the term 'blended families' !! 😳😳 Most guys would've legged it at that point!! 😆

Brilliant 😆😆😆😆😆

Judging by the irrefutable evidence you have sworn to and the graphic injuries described you will have long term physical and mental health issues. This falls under corporate abuse. The only advice I can give you is get the lawyers in on it. Even though I haven't seen the program it has affected me that you have suffered. I see a class action suit, and rightly so. As an afterthought make sure you see a physician, it will give some weight to your story.

I think the dummy stand in for Lilly should get an NTA award for most convincing photo shop image in a soap

And when he was married to Vicky.

I had forgotten about Vicky, so many past relationships for characters that I often forget who has been with whom
