Manslaughter in self-defence, with a bit of perverting the course of justice thrown in, might carry a custodial sentence, but it is hardly "unredeemable".

Hahah I'm sorry but this amuses me! Professional script-writers and storyliners? At Corrie? Where have they been this week? The so called professionals couldn't even come up with a decent reason for having Tyrone (a mechanic) driving a pickup truck. They seriously thought it was credible for him and Fiz be dashing off to buy a dress for a wedding that was happening there and then. Meaning they return, in the dark when the wedding is over, with an expensive dress, even though Ty only gets a fiver pocket money a week.

They wouldn't recognise a decent script if it landed on their desk, that's why nothing would surprise me. It's probably Lord Lucan under Gaul's floorboards.

And you could do better, could you?

But let me answer your points:

1) Tyrone has often driven the pick-up truck, so that's established.

2) Tyrone feels responsible - and guilty - for Fiz having to scrimp and save and, essentially, having no joy in her life. The wedding was the only event she's had to look forward to, but he went and ruined the dress she'd got for it. So he drove her in the only vehicle he had available to get an emergency replacement; she might not make the ceremony, but she would be back in time for the reception (people do that I'm told).

3) Tyrone has been seen making enough money from his scrap metal dealing to pay for his cab licence. As we haven't seen him give this up, it's reasonable to assume he might have more than "a fiver" in his pocket.

I realise some viewers have the attention span of a goldfish with Alzheimer's these days. But it is hardly the programme makers' fault - any programme - if viewers miss the bleeding obvious that has gone before (probably because they're too busy bleating on Twitter or Facebook).

Burying a corpse in a house is a tad unredeemable, no?

It might be reprehensible. "Unredeemable", no.

In soap land it tends to be especially CS. Bar Tracy Barlow few people stick around who have committed crimes of this nature. But then again this is Blackburn...

James, no need to apologise to me. You're entitled to believe what you do (even though you're wrong ) and I'm entitled to believe otherwise until dental records or DNA (bone marrow, hair, tooth enamel) proves who it is.

You're obviously enjoying your theories, and enjoying Corrie is what it's all about.

You never said anything nice like that to me Janet

I think the point that BG was trying to make (and I'll stress think here) is that it was a highly contrived and convoluted way to have Tyrone drive round the corner right at that moment. A simpler and less convoluted reason could simply have been that Tyrone was working late, rather than involving them in the dress saga.

You call it a bad comedy but then want a deceased character back from the dead. This isn't EastEnders or Hollyoaks, Corrie doesn't need to rely on bringing a dead character back, it just shows desperation.

Corrie definitely needs something.

Kind words to you as well - and anyone else who needs a hug.

It's getting near the end of the Callum saga, and the daft theories about him crawling through 6 inch drains or untying himself and lifting the manhole cover and escaping will soon be over, so I can be kind to everyone now.

Thankyou KK, that was the point I was trying to make; I feel that was quite obvious and that rudeness wasn't warranted here, but heck, some people have bad manners when talking to others online.

I was responding to another poster who stated that Corrie employ professional script-writers and that they could come up with a feasible way that explained Callum not being dead and someone elses body being found. I was pointing out that I would not trust them to do such a thing, as they (imo) made a complete hash of engineering a situation where Tyrone, a mechanic, would be driving a pickup truck.

So yes, in answer to IB's question, I could have done better on that. I would have had him on a call out. Simple. Straightforward. Believable.

And it is nonsense some low level thug like Callum would be able to carry all this out and predict the future. And what exactly has he been doing all this time seeing as he had no cash?”

I suggested on another thread is perhaps Tony will be blamed - hence why he was killed off, so not able to defend himself!

This is what I think will happen too. Paves the way for Jason to leave as his Dad has been branded a murderer.

What I find odd is
Spoiler
Sarah tells Todd it was Kylie I think, so would Todd allow Tony to take the rap, even though he's dead?

Oh does she? I thought he thought it was Sarah that was responsible.

I'm intrigued to see how it all pans out.

That is odd, also I still cant understand how if Jason or Tony were to end up been blamed, what causes Kylie to leave. I hope its not the predictable running away and leaving her family thing its been done to death already.

So you think you can throw hurtful remarks to the suffering family's of alzheimer patients who have care and watch them waste away before their eyes. You do that just to make a silly point on a forum. My apologies to anyone on this forum who's live are effected in any way by this dreadful disease. I apologize for the poster of this remark.
