In tonight's Corrie, when Toyah and Norris are at Emily's bed, she says (about Rita) "She didn't say it, but she looked old."
Now, I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks that is a bit odd. Maybe she meant tired instead?

If you say somebody "looked old" it means that they look tired, i.e. losing sleep - "You could tell her age, she looked really old because of it..."

Hope that clears it up.

Yes, that's what I thought. Some people you don't think of as old because they're so vibrant. Then one day you notice that they look frail and vulnerable and that they're not as young as they used to be. Once you get older strain shows on your face more than when you're young.

Yes, that's true, but in the context of that sentence it didn't actually make sense.

What she actually said was"I didn't say it..."

I had to listen to it twice to make it out, though.
