You really need to calm down.
Why are you so obsessed with derailing this thread?

I'm loving your ideas.

I can't wait for the rest if you do it.
Thanks. After the abuse I'm considering giving up now.

The train went off the rails when you started replying in a rude unnecessary way.

Ummmm, okay. Whatever you say mate. I won't rise to the bait of your vicious attacks and troll baiting. Shall we leave it there then? Can you go away now?

James I think you should reply to those who are interested only.

I'd quite like a power cut murder episode

You really are starting to sound like a spoilt teenager. We are not viciously attacking you. We gave our opinions and you decided to be rude towards us and then to stir things up are making out that we are abusing you.

Fabulous! those spoilers were gripping.

I found myself actually thinking "I can't wait to see this"....oh wait lol

Cracking stuff all the same, I think it's time you get pen to paper and start scripting.
You clearly have the imagination for it.

Hi James-loving this. Please save Billy!!
I can picture in my mind what is happening, so it's just a shame that is the only place i'll see it!

Maybe you could have audience participation, with a 2 or 3-option cliffhanger at some point, of who is going to perish-that could get the FM's chatting!! 😀
(Sorry you've obviously thought out already what is going to happen to who. I think we would all have our own favourites who would be heading for the chop). Maybe next time!!

I don't know where the OP is from but being from Manchester myself I have to say I don't think a storm no matter which month it is would cause as much damage as is suggested, Emmerdale yes. A few loose tiles coming off a roof but even in a bad storm the structures of the buildings wouldn't cause as much carnage.
The scenario regarding Phelan and Vinnie i would think (expect) that story to be finished by then. I can't see how far this story can go with them fobbing/conning people off about block of flats not being built. What are they going to tell Rita, Sarah etc I. February about no work starting?

Hi James,
I have stated a few times over recent weeks that I think stunts are unnecessary & I don't want characters killing off just for cheap ratings grabbing but you have really thought this one through well & I have every faith that if you were writing for the show the deaths would be handled well with far reaching consequences leading into another year's worth of storylines!!
The storm idea I like as it is something Corrie hasn't covered before & the power cut would heighten the drama, as with the wonderful scenes in the Rover's in the immediate aftermath of the tram crash episode!!

I confess when I first saw your idea I wasn't too keen on the idea of another big stunt but having read your spoilers so far I'm now intrigued & looking forward to your next instalment!!

If Aidan & Maria do get together, say in late April then perhaps it will be Hurricane Eva that causes the storm!!!

You don't seem to like a lot on this forum. You don't like cool mates threads or posts. You don't like smut. I can now add creative writing to the list. 😤 😁

James J, it's suitably epic and involves a wide cross-section of characters. Well done! When are you posting Wednesday's episode?

Exactly. It's not like the houses in Manchester are made from sticks.

Thanks so much! I think it would be really great to watch. I think this week on Corrie we're seeing now is proof of the fact they don't structure big weeks that well. Not a lot has happened yet so far and instead all the action is happening tomorrow. It's been ages since we've had a whole week of character-driven excitement, and this is what I am channelling with this idea.

I actually really want this to happen now I think it would be amazing! Poor Billy though can't wait for the next episode spoilers pretty please can we have them now?
Thank you very much, that's so kind Episode 3 is on the way soon and it's rather eventful!

Hi Claremonts! Thanks so much for the kind words. You'll soon find out what happens to Billy! I've plotted this whole week out now but the 'choose your ending' thing is a great idea, if I ever do any more I'd definitely be up for something like this.

I don't know where the OP is from but being from Manchester myself I have to say I don't think a storm no matter which month it is would cause as much damage as is suggested
Thanks for your response. I think the disaster is entirely realistic, and is referenced. It's not a building collapse at all. If you read on you'll see what happens.

Hi James,

Ahh thank you very much for this! The deaths have significance and affect multiple character groups, and would send each of them into new directions and long arcs. I'm very happy with who I've bumped off and think it'll be clear how their deaths spark a whole new chapter of story. Todd's story in particular I'm incredibly pleased with.

James J, it's suitably epic and involves a wide cross-section of characters. Well done! When are you posting Wednesday's episode?
Episode 3 is coming very soon - just tightening a few bits up!

Exactly. It's not like the houses in Manchester are made from sticks.
Well it's not a house collapse so...

Anyway, I'm actually really quite overwhelmed by the response to this on the whole and really happy people seem to like it!

More coming very soon!
