Experience working with both adult and child victims.
When you're dealing with families rather than individuals - yes.

Wasn't it the shop phone so probably stored in the memory?
Ken and Gail have lived on that street for decades. They would of course know each others landline numbers off by heart, from the time before mobiles!

Im a bit puzzled about something that happened last night. Right Audrey told Kylie and David they could go early Max had swimming and David could leave as well. Now we heard the front door of the shop close because they wouldnt leave it open . Now when Audrey had her "funny do" and collapsed on the sofa, Ken came out of his house..and saw the front door open??? But Kylie and David closed it behind them???

It was just a plot device to get Ken to enter the salon to find Audrey having a swoon, nothing to get confused about.

Presumably when he did it was well after the shops regular closing time as he seemed to be attracted to the shop by the lights still being on

Well he did glance at his watch after noticing the salons lights were still on.

I think this is what some people see as ridiculous normally Anna is quite outspoken and wouldn't think twice about speaking her mind and telling someone where to get off, it's as if when Phelan is around or mentioned she has a complete change of character and becomes a complete nervous wreck that is what is SOR about it, because it's like a switch that can be turned on or of from one second to the next and that is either poor acting or poor script writing or both..
I dont mind if characters act in unbelievable ways as long as they are consistent. It is the constant personality transplants that irritate me.

Would they? I dont know my neighbour's numbers. In fact, I dont even know my own mobile number.
Why would Ken ring Gail regularly? Unless he has been up to his tricks with her?

Someone should have told Audrey beforehand where the heart is actually positioned in the human body.

I doubt it was supposed to be a heart attack more likely what was in the olden days called 'a touch of the vapours'.

Jenny Bradley told Rita that she "piggy backs off next door's wi-fi, they haven't got a password" ... and Rita didn't ask what she meant?

Rita's tech knowledge is increasing by the minute!

I think it was am angina attack.
Fair play to Ken for being able to assess that she was having an attack after only a quick look at her

Well he probably is the most educated person in the street which admittedly doesn't say much with the other Neanderthals and knuckle-dragger's that also reside there.

Great dialogue last night between Ken and Gail in the street! Ken asks how she is, Gail says "I'm good", then he asks how Audrey is, and Gail says "She's good"! SOR that someone of Gail's age would use that annoying Americanism , surely she'd be more likely to say "I'm fine, thanks". No one I know uses that annoying expression, yet everyone on telly says it.

Didn't he also say "How's Audrey?" Nit-picking but I thought that was a bit odd - wouldn't you be more inclined to say "How's your mum?"

Yes, we are nit picking, I supose! Anyway, speaking of Audrey, did she not say that she has loved him for months, since before Nessa, so within 5 mins of poor Deirdre dying, she had fallen for him. She's a bit old for Ken, though , he usually likes them a bit younger. What will happen next, will he move to Grasmere Dr, I wonder?

Ken must never leave the street! It would be like the ravens leaving the Tower of London

Very specific wasn't she? And her feeling so poorly too!

Anyway instead of worrying about Audrey, Ken looked delighted. Scored again! Get in! Yeesss! Despite telling Nessa that a relationship was too soon about his beloved Deirdre's passing, about two days later he was chasing Audrey. And now Ken has Audrey within his grasp. No doubt he'll be doing her as soon as she's got over her funny turn.

Let's be honest anytime would be too soon for a relationship with Nessie.

I assumed he was just using that as an excuse, to let her down easily. Fundamentally he knew they just weren't suited.

Coronation Street is struggling with its identity, it has so many Comedy characters/moments that it does not know if its meant to be a Soap-Drama or a Sitcom.
It sometimes has me cringing at my TV.

The rules of the street state that even though Audrey mmm lives in a very nice three bedroom house in an attractive part of town she will give that up and live with Ken and Tracey and Amy and Robert in the 1950's decorated house they all share.

It ceased being a "Gritty Northern Drama" a long time ago.

Nowadays, Coronation Street has about as much claim to reality as the BBC's "Casualty" has to accurately represent life in an a current day NHS Hospital.

True. She was a complete horror!

I might have thought the same except he took his time finding out and he certainly waited until he had got his bonksworth out of her. If it was an excuse then it was in very bad taste for Ken to use Deirdre's death to get rid of Nessa. Deirdre's not been gone that long and he's already on to his second fling. The bloke is a disgrace!

And this is not just what happens in Corrie it also happens in other soaps someone phones an ambulance rings off and the ambulance just turns up.
The first responders know when they get a call for the hair salon it's Audry. By the time they arrive they already have a moderately priced bottle of bathtub gin attached to an intravenous to stick into her arm and she's good to go. It doesn't require a trip to triage.
