Couldn't see a thread. What a great double act Eileen and Steve make No drama needed, their comedy really makes the episode. Anyone else hear Roy call Frankie, Beckie?

Loved Blanche's line:

Vera: "Only 2 people knew about that hat: Ivy Tilsley and Hilda Ogden. One of them's dead and one of them's living in Derbyshire".

Blanche: "I don't know which is better off".



Also liked the way the writer made reference to Frankie "not lasting 5 minutes inside"

Damn it, I wanted to be the first to post the Vera/Blanche exchange!!

Blanche had a few good one liners tonight.

I thought this was a pretty good episode despite there not being very much advancement in any of the storylines. Vera's reading was a very good scene, with another great exchange:

Sophie: He's a Cherokee.
Vera: A Red Indian?
Sophie: Native American, please Vera. He'd be very offended!

Also, I'm curious as to why the police haven't brought up the fact that Jamie beat one of Frankie's ex-partners so badly he was in intensive care. I know the charges were eventually dropped, but he was initially arrested and charged with Section 18 Wounding (the most serious kind of assault before Attempted Murder) and the police would have records of that.

The blurring that's been present in recent weeks has all but disappeared, but the scene with Gail, David, Audrey and Bill tonight was terrible - perhaps the worst I've seen it.

Hi ya At last !!! A ********* free episode.

Very good I thought. Loved Steve and Eileen

Can't see David Pratt being content to just tinker with that wreck for the next 12 months. I forcast some illegal driving soon.

Becky was a bit naughty but Frankie is a bit of a target.

That was sneaky.
Eileen and Steve are a very good pairing, IMO. Always very funny.
Frankie and Jamie :yawn: :yawn: . And I like Frankie. And Jamie. Just separately.

I also liked Janice's line near the beginning:

"When Granny comes to tea it's supposed to be tea and cakes, not incest and murder."

I loved the Vera/Sophie stuff. Sophie's been great with this "psychic gift" storyline and it's been hilarious.

It was Vinny,who Frankie had an affair with before she arrived.

Not much of Jamie tonight Danny's really stitched him up by disappearing like that. I liked that line from Janice too Sophie's great,a natural.

It was funny that they gave Barmy the best line to frankie about her and Jamie. They keep saying they aren't mother and son, but as Barmy pointed out ... he's probably bought her about 20 years worth of Mothers Day cards, and you don't do that to someone you don't see as your mum!

What was with Claire tucking all her hair under that hat? She looked ridiculous. More like that Victoria Wood character who wears a raincoat and beret.

This is my friend - Kimberley I started a separate thread on Claire's hat. I thought it warranted it's own mention.

It was funny when Roy told Becky to shut up then quickly said sorry.

I liked Framie but it's boring now.

Because Dennis and Sharon hadn't known each other for around 20 years, and Sharon hadn't brought Dennis up, like a mum. Or a sister.
