Tonight's Corrie

[Jillius]

Did anyone record the first episode of tonight's Corrie ? It was weird cos when Audrey sat Maria down for a cup of tea,( I think it was that bit) a text message came through really clearly even though they both ignored it. I thought it was my son's phone cos it sounded the same as his but he wasn't here, even though it sounded as if it was coming from our hallway. I've been spooked by it ! Can anyone help ?

Thats what I thought she was still padded wasnt she.

[LoftyLottie]

I must admit the whole thing left me dry eyed and very bored. Perhaps Samia Smith's acting was to blame. I thought Rob Collier actually acted very well last night.

[Jillius]

She was only slightly padded last night 4getmenot !

[4getmenot]

But she wasnt that huge in first place

[LoftyLottie]

Not like Violet eh?

[Drisgirl]

I think the main thing is that she knows she has lost Liam and is in shock -thats why I felt for 'her' dilemna cos not everyone deals with this type of sad scenario the same way -it will pan out and I am sure we will see a greater depth to this storyline -is only just starting.

[LoftyLottie]

I hope you are right. In my opinion, the more we see of Mr Collier the better, Drisgirl! He is leaving though :o(

[4getmenot]

Oh god yer when voilet did that silly mac and me walk at Marias wedding

[Jillius]

Liam is so gorgeous ! No wonder Maria is worried about losing him. I would be......... !

[LoftyLottie]

Yep, me too, Jillius!

[4getmenot]

well lust over him while you can girls

I've just watched it and didn't hear a mobile phone going.

What I did think was strange though (perhaps it was in the episode before) was when Audrey unzipped Maria's case and had a look inside. Surely you wouldn't do that with something as personal as somebody's case, and I couldn't see why Audrey had reason to.

[Lisa1983]

I think they're just following on from every other soap on the box. I just wish one of them would come up with a realistic plot and only them stick with it!

[4getmenot]

Oh come of it Audrey is the biggest busy body about. :-)

[yogasun]

I agree, the first thing that struck me was why didn't Audrey ask why Maria's bump was two thirds of the size!? Sorry, didn't record it Jillius, can't help.

[Octavius]

Well I agree with Lofty, it was banal.

Ok, I can go along with the sadness of it all, and maybe it could have been a good storyline, and even with some real acting (other than �Li-urm! Li-urm!) it might have been ever-so-slightly convincing.

Anyway, my main gripe is that I would have thought it highly unlikely that someone would not have broken down completely in front of their partner � if they loved them � and then told them the whole saga.

Also, in that half hour episode beforehand and then afterwards and then the next one, how come Li-urm and Carla, and Lloyd and everyone else on the street had to suddenly keep mentioning babies and being a daddy and being a family and etc etc. Wasn�t much mention of it before, but you knew that every time Li-urm opened his gob that he would murmur something about �our kid� �my baby� �family�. It was quite galling as the script writers were plainly over-emphasising it all and greasing everyone up for the old tearful punch line. Talk about overkill (no malice intended).

I just found it tedious, and unrealistic.

[chappie]

Well said.

[phylkat]

I expect they are building the story-line up ready for Liams departure in 3 months time,

Isn't Maria leaving too? and they are axing Vernon plus the Bookie & Son... (after he & Liz have a fling)

pk

[Jillius]

I've never really taken to those two from the bookies. I didn't know Maria was leaving, but how will we cope without the gorgeous Liam to ogle ??

[4getmenot]

They are also getting rid of the kebab family, thank god
