Corrrie - The Phelan Story

[Ian b]

Hitchcock said that in films and drama involving murders there should always be justice in the end, audiences need justice he said. So I hope that Phelan is going to be caught and not just disappear, as happens so much in dramas today.

I think he is about to receive his comeuppance.

I don't watch soaps these days, but I remember in the past, they always had a core of morality going through them, and justice was served, eventually.

Hopefully that is a system that has not altered as the soap has moved with the times.

It seems he will be killed off though, I'd much prefer him to suffer!!

I don't have much contact with soaps but what little I've discovered includes a general l assertion by the scriptwriters that the police a a bunch of utter incompetents and that justice - such as it is - is served by the programme's resident "hard man".

I absolutely agree. And why do they have to drag it out so long before justice is seen to be done? By the time they get around to it, it`s easy to forget what the crime was in the first place!

[Hopkirk]

Yes, and whoever stole the village bunting in The Archers needs to be identified and brought to justice.

Trouble is I'm starting to like him now, he's lovely with Summer and I admire the way he handled Billy which worked far better than the softly softly approach of Eileen and Eva !!

[711]

Trouble is he`s a multi murderer, and prime time TV can`t be seen to be condoning such crimes - or can they? After all, we`re living in an age where almost anything goes!

All comes to a head next week.
