Thora was unforgettable as the mother in law from hell, "You come into this house drunk, filthy drunk! You're filthy! You talk filth! You ARE filth! You're filth! You filthy pig! You filthy disgusting pig! filth! FILTH!!

Highlights of tonight's double:
- Audrey's lines about Claudia giving free blow drys and Maria attracting the gays.
- Drunk Craig
- That sweet scene between Craig and Tim- they have a great chemistry together

Everything else...meh

Wednesday's ep should open with them naked in Rita's bed.

Just imagine it.

Go on, imagine it.
I am, and I see Rita thinking that was a bottle of gin sticking up and start necking it. Oh the humanity.

In an ideal world, every bullet in the world would have Sean's name on it.
I like Sean Bean

First of many unjustified attacks on a character who is the salt of the earth

Craig is such a loser. He's 18 hanging out with a 14 (?) year old girl
He's such an ungrateful lump. Beth has done her very best bringing him up.

Billy should think about putting some of the money he spends on fancy vicar's shirts in the poor box.
He ought to practice what he preaches. He is supposed to forgive whoever dobbed him in.

Happy birthday you silly c**t is the full message on Sean's hat.


I liked Sally's line about how long Sean's been working at the factory. However long it is - it's way too long!
He's a Corrie legend.

So Caz gets a job in Newcastle and turns it down, FFS >
She has no home in Weatherfield . No reason why she should not go to Newcastle

To have one episode thread without all the 'Sean hate' ...................'That's My Goal'
Not possible. Far too much homophobia. Sophie gets the same treatment as well

Your homophobia obsession is becoming as tiresome as your love for the Cotton creature.

His biggest critics are gays, because he is a grotesque caricature of a gay man.

But it's on ITV4 on an endless loop.
Can't imagine a lad Luke's age watching ITV4 on an endless loop though!!

Kate's a spiteful little cow.
I'd rather she buggered off than Caz tbh, at least Caz is a mildly interesting character!!

Didn't Sean ring the hotel back and re-book the room for Sean and Billy?

And Eva said she'd keep it to herself.
True!! Eva can't help but stick her beak in everyone else's business!!

Lol Aud pointing out Maria's history of attracting t'Gays. She's lucky Sean hasn't made a move on her yet!
Sean would not fancy her

The only thing Beth can "bring up" properly is her own vomit after getting tanked on Bacardi Breezers.
She love her son and did her best

[quote=rhumble;83916376]Selfish bloody Sean /QUOTE] Your evidence ?

Sad, bitter little man.

The vicar really has the measure of Sean
Wrong. The Non Christian Vicar made false assumptions without a shred of evidence

Didn't Sean ring the hotel back and re-book the room for Sean and Billy?

And Eva said she'd keep it to herself.
She let him down badly

Why ?

Your homophobia obsession is becoming as tiresome as your love for the Cotton creature.
I merely defend the constant unjustified attacks
His biggest critics are gays, because he is a grotesque caricature of a gay man. :
So if he wasn't homosexual there wouldn't be a problem ? He gets accused of playing himself. I guess that he's just not the right kind of homosexual.

In fairness SULLA Sean is a horrible character regardless of his sexuality imo of course.
Horrible? Tracy Barlow is horrible but the people that attack Sean never mention her.

One of the worst episodes in a long time.

Craig's acting again was awful. Poor Liam having Maria as a mother he will need therapy when he's older Ozzie out acted her and Caz off the screen without saying anything.

So any criticism, for any reason, of someone who happens to be gay is automatically homophobia?

Up & down episodes last night!! Enjoyed the Maria/Caz stuff again even if Sophie helping her find Caz & bring her back was somewhat far fetched given Sophie's opinion of Caz!! The fact it completely pissed off the dreadful Kate made that SOR forgiveable!!

Not keen on all the Sean's birthday party & him going into sulk mode again, though I did find Eva's behaviour despicable tbh!! Another character I'm liking less by the episode!!
Continuing to like Craig/Faye & Craig/Tim, shame about the two mothers whining at each other though!!

A 6 from me!!

Not just me then. He's simply not very good. He's improved a bit since he started. Who knows, he might continue to learn. I hope so as I like the character.

Full of bad acting last night! Sean, Sophie, Caz, Craig, Kirk, Maria.
Where do they find these dullards?! I could do better.

Is that so? The worst episode in 56 years of the show?

Nah fish from the Chippy costs a fortune.

Tonight's writing was much improved in places, though some irritation remains.

I thought the character interaction was tons better - for example I enjoyed the Faye and Anna scene at the start, the scene on the Street with Beth, Anna, Craig, Kirk etc. Some good acting and reaction shots all round there and characters were true to form.

Also quite enjoyed the scene where Robert told Steph the table was for 20 and not 10 and she said "flipping heck!" in that sort of "oh god!" way. It was very convincing for some reason, where normally the Bistro scenes are painful. It felt quite authentic and made the business feel more real I suppose. Weaker scenes involved Sean's birthday things but luckily Rita and Norris were on form to rescue those scenes.

Really find Billy and Todd storyline is like pulling teeth though, I honestly think Billy is my least favourite character in the programme right now and that is really saying something. He's just ugh! So irritating, I hate all those stupid Topman-cum-vicar shirts he wears, his face irritates me, his personality is more annoying than Fiz's (again, that's saying something) and I honestly think he is not the sort of man Todd should be with. I really hope he's written out as I can't stress how much I almost want to fast forward scenes with him in, and I NEVER do that.

Love love loved Craig getting drunk and trying to convince Steph to let him drink more, and loved the scene in Sally's house where he was sick and Sally and Tim were in their PJs. Really good stuff. Oh, also the scene with Tim and Craig in the cab office was really well written.

The Caz and Maria story is quite watchable (if circular). It's the storyline I'm enjoying most. I do feel sorry for Caz, especially with vipers like Kate and Sawphie glaring and glowering at her all the time, and people like Aiden trying to get rid of her. She's obviously insecure and just wants to be loved and appreciated. On that basis I think dippy Maria is being nice, but it's obvious things are going to get pretty dark in that SL as Caz really starts falling for Maria. What's the betting she finds out about Aiden and Maria somehow?

Overall much better written double, most of the characters were written very very well tonight which makes a change. We can't like all the characters as that's just life but on Corrie if they're written well, the whole ensemble feels better.

6 out of 10!

Interesting analysis as always James!!
Really all you can ask from the show is that the characters presented are written & acted in character & I agree by & large that was the case last night!! Personal likes & dislikes are down to the individual & the Corrie ptb can't be expected to cater to that!!
