I think it is. She's had that many rashes she must have sensitive skin! Perhaps that's the way the salon get out of paying compo. Surely Corrie aren't just giving her the same SL for the 3rd time - are they?

Janice and Les, Cilla and Les and now Beth and Kirk - people who are always after compensation. Beth is just another incarnation of Janice and Cilla. These women are similar looking, low-lifes and all are prone to scream compo or are after any money where they can get it. This is a standard Corrie character who will no doubt be replaced with a similar person if/when Beth leaves.

The election stuff is found Sally no favours admittedly, it's really awful. Why couldn't they have actually given her something where she'd found her niche and did really well? Surely the Sally being above her station stuff has been done to dearth at t'factruh?”

Even with the stuff going on, saying something to Sally is totally Anna (and I probably would have said something about her making a good politician since she doesn't listen and just talks about herself too)

If she eats the same thing as always, you do expect it to be the same. I have a food allergy so I always check they won't cook my food near any fish, but at my local, they know and I rarely say it unless it is someone new.

So she may think they did something wrong with her food that caused it (I am sure it will turn out that it was David's fault anyway)

I missed Mondays episodes and the rash thing.

But on tonights show when Todd was trying to make up a flower display for Audreys, he put in lillies for her shop.

Do some lillies not cause skin rashes etc

And why report them to the council? FOR WHAT?!? And why go on about a free meal when it was their cooking that "apparently" started it in the first place? Surely if they were that negligent you'd never want to risk your health there again?! I do like Beth, but I can't f#xking stand her when she does this.

There's no way in the effing world you'd put up with Anna's near hysterics this early in a relationship. Any man would probably just say okay, let's just call it quits.

Totally agree Anna is without doubt the most miserable, moaning bint on the street. She constantly has a face like a wet weekend. Kevin needs to tell her ta ta!

It is sometimes used to treat eczema.
In my experience, no restaurant will guarantee that the meal will be totally free of an allergen, just to cover themselves, so there is no way they could be blamed. It didnt make sense.

I cant stand any of the three, except when they forget, and make Beth a normal intelligent person for a minute or two instead of a caricature.

Yes they can. Was Beth sniffing them? I dont think she would take Tracey on in a hurry.

There is no way Kevin or anyone else would put up with that, is there? I hope he sleeps with Phelan too!

If Anna's up for it, why not a threesome?

Beth's rash is from the hair dye. To show that Audrey can't be replaced and that David could never cope on his own. Yawn. Lillies can cause severe hay fever. Florists love the though.

Ok, Sally is being totally tedious st the moment, but Kev thinks a lot of her, so you think Anna would just keep her thoughts to herself, for the time being at least.

Or is this another demo of how incredibly feisty and strong La Windass is? I think we were supposed to be cheering for her or something.

ooooh faymemian! That's a bit telling. You're not really saying that running for local council is above Sally's station, are you? Don't forget that Deirdre was on the council, as was Alf Roberts in his time. Both worked in shops, although Alf did own it.

I think the point of the story is that Sally perceives being a Councillor as above her station so she is going for it with all her might!

Dont most people with violent children get help from social services, or at least mention it to the school before trying to have the child arrested?

Anna washing up in the cafe. Don't they have a dishwasher? Anyway, she was slapping those dishes down unrinsed, and then wiped her hands on the tea towel. A total no no in a commercial kitchen. Is there a hygiene notice in the window? I'll bet It's showing a six instead of the three the cafe deserves.

sorry, must have missed that bit - online suduko is normally more gripping than Corrie


I might have thought that Leanne would have had a WPC sitting in on her interview

So Sally wants a late night bus service - can't see the bus company agreeing, but it could be fun watching her try. And she does seem to assume that she's the first to suggest it.

What would send her into overdrive would be one of the portable gents' toilets for the benefit of the late night drinkers - http://www.elliottuk.com/files/urinal_slide1.jpg

Where was Leanne's police interview? It looked like they'd turned wardrobe into a make shift set. And the police looked like the'd just stepped off the street. And what was with the strange yellow lighting and the policemans hammy knowing looks. It was all very surreal.

And presumably product placementers Interflora wouldn't have been keen on an anti-flower storyline

I thought he did but the contractor said that as it was signed off it wasn't his problem?


More dodgy continuity. The fantastic four are having a meal and are either not having a pudding or Irish coffee and the flower shop is still open. Was it late night opening to cater for the pre Valentines rush?

I don't think Sally perceives being a Councillor as above her station, more that it is such a prestigious thing that she was actually born to do it and will make a better job of it than anyone anywhere in Weatherfield EVER has. She probably thinks she could even become an MP.

Does she really think an independent Councillor could get a night bus? Obviously she thinks she'll be able to get anything she considers a good idea. How disappointed she'll be if anyone is stupid enough to actually vote for her when she discovers that councils actually vote on everything and they wont take notice of her demands

Will not getting she wants or, worse still in her eyes not getting elected deflate her ego? I doubt it.

Yes,I think the fishwife scene in the Rovers would have been the last straw for me.

In other words, making no attempt to seem attractive to him, even though they have been 'dating' for about three weeks. They're already like a couple who have been together for twenty years or more.”

Yes, with Kevin turning into a zen master and Anna either weeping, snarling or putting on a tragic brave face, they do seem an unlikely pair. They're not well-matched physically either; Phelan was a better bet in that respect.

Boozing and bonking are the main leisure activities on't Street! That cliche of 'turning to the bottle' looks pretty dated now. And of course no-one gets liver disease or looks a haggard wreck, apart from Carla's mascara looks a bit Kate Moss after a heavy session.

Do the writers think they are portraying real life by showing their characters guzzling wine?
The government are fighting a losing battle, trying to spell out the dangers of drinking when characters on TV seem to regard alcohol as the panacea of all ills”

The way Anna was knocking back that wine was absurd - pouring out a glass and drinking as if it were lemonade and she was really thirsty. I don't think even the most hardened drinker could or would do that. And as if she would have carried on without stopping when Kevin turned up.

Indeedy! Running up the stairs and giggling is a Corrie standard format 'We're off for a bonk scene.' However, bacon butties a la Eileen and Tiny fireman for pre or post coital activities are of course, optional!
