Corrie last night

[Orang Utan]

Norh Orang Utan there is an important sex ring story going on and a twist has just happened

I posted the news cos I thought people would be interested.

 

[keithy]

WTAF I know they gave a warning about 'scenes of distress' but I was not prepared for that scene with Daniel just now. Did I miss summet or did Corrie just show an explicit self harming scene?

 

[Celyn]

You're probably right. I first thought that he had accidentally cut himself and had then run to the wash basin, but all that squeezing and grimacing dramatically at the mirror did make it seem otherwise.

All a bit odd, though. I mean, if the whole idea is that someone ought to keep an eye on Ken for his health, how can it make sense to send him to do some sort of camping, basically, with Daniel in a flat probably bereft of kitchen things and bedding and general comfortable things?

Very clever of Ken to feel healthy enough to go digging up rose bushes, and clever to know where to find a spade - almost a disappointment not to have a "WTF it is corpse of Daniels's mother!" scene.

 

[keithy]

It was the sticking his finger into the wound - horrible

 

[isvicthere?]

Wow, pub toilet sex! Corrie goes soft porn.

 

[Shirl]

How did Phelan gat his black eye?
I was away last week but thought I'd caught up on all the episodes I missed and can't find any explanation for the black eye

I don't think it has been explained, although I missed yesterday's episodes.

It wasn't explained yesterday.

 

[Shirl]

Heck, I never thought I'd be a little bit in love with Craig

 

[Espresso]

Craig is ace, I think he's one of the best young adults in soap for a long time. He's not a git or a smartarse or a wannabe gangster or a demon or any of the things the writers usually create for teenage characters.
Not all teenagers are hateful twonks and it is refreshing to see an example of a genuinely nice lad in a soap.

Now as I have said that they will have him going spectacularly off the rails next week, won't they?
Bugger.

I agree that Craig has always been sound, he's a good lad. They had better not change his character or there'll be trouble.

 

[keithy]

I particularly like that he is a young lad from a working class background who has been parented lovingly and turned out compassionate and generous and not a thug.

 

[keithy]

YES CRAIG

 

[Libertad]

Whither Phelan?

 

[butchersapron]

I'll get you for harassment.

Writing is so crap now - never ending phelan.

And i'm on smack now


Worse than eastenders.

 

[butchersapron]

edit:ignore

 

[keithy]

Oh Craigy

 

[ash]

Oh Craigy

I think his story is the only decent one on there at the moment and he’s a great actor

NOTHING is worse than eastenders at the moment.

 

[Hellsbells]

I like Craig but do think his sudden OCD has come a bit out of nowhere. Has he always had it? I didn't think people suddenly got it

I’m pretty sure it can occur spontaneously. I used to work on a ward that specialised in it but that was over 30 years ago so my knowledge is a little rusty.

Ok fair enough. Didn't realise that.

It’s been building fairly gradually (for soap time), after the Nathan stuff I think.

 

[skyscraper101]

Haven't seen it for quite a while. It was the last bastion of good soap writing after Eastenders went to shit but now it's gone the same way, for shame.

 

[Calamity1971]

Nice tribute from the cobbles.
Corrie's on-set tribute to bombing victims

 

[Celyn]

That's sweet.

Reading through the linked article, I see that the extended set will now give Weatherfield its own police station, which makes enough sense considering the number of murders in just one or two little streets. . Also a tattoo parlour. Scope for comedy but they're a bit late to the "laugh at bad tattoos" game. Also a snooker hall and an Indian restaurant. This tiny place is *very* well supplied with food/ drink places, but that's OK because the place has no unemployment or poverty.

 

[Hellsbells]

Next week's storyline looks pretty disturbing and grim

When the character first appeared La Liberette expressed the view that he was a wrongun.

 

[isvicthere?]

Two mentions of the New Zealand embassy tonight.

Nomenclature fail: Commonwealth nations don't have embassies. They have High Commissions.

 

[keithy]

Whoa.
