So dastardly Frank was finally dispatched to that great knicker factory in the sky - as Sean and Julie discovered as they arrived at Underworld that evening to confront him over the job losses, only to find Sally with bloodied hands crouching over his dead body. As you do.
Sally, scorned in love and business, is surely not the murderer - it would be just too obvious, nor for similar reasons will it be the back-on-the-booze, whisky for breakfast Peter Barlow, who earlier had been loudly slurring to all and sundry in Coronation Street that he wanted to "kill" Foster.

Nor, I think, is the murderer Carla, despite her obvious motivation - Frank chillingly confessed to her that he had indeed raped her and she realised that he had double-crossed her over her share of the factory in collusion with the mysterious Jenny - another possible killer?
Not that anyone exactly got the kid glove treatment from Frank - after all, he then unsummarily threw his own mother Anne (who many think will turn out to be his killer) out of his life. And Michelle - who has been rather clumsily thrust prominently into this storyline from seemingly nowhere (which must mean she'll feature more in the post murder episodes, as apparently does Kevin) - tried to stop Carla signing the contract to give up the factory but arrived too late.
She later turned up to see Frank alone but was rejected when she tried to persuade him to keep the factory open. - with her help. "There'll never been another knicker sewn in that factory again," he smirked. Thank goodness for that, the undies always looked cheap and nasty, but I suppose that's not the point.

Andrew Lancel has really come into his own these last few weeks as the chillingly polite psychopath Frank.
Meanwhile Carla's back on the bottle too - and who can blame her. As she and Peter squabbled, Carla tried to grab the whisky bottle out of his hands, only for a horrified Leanne to appear and tell Peter she was going to fight for custody of Simon.
Lesley's Alzheimer's Disease took a new downward turn as for the first time she failed to recognise her own husband Paul, whose somewhat morally dubious equation of caring for her has been to move her in with his mistress Eileen.

On a lighter note, Karl installed an extra large chav-style flat screen satellite TV in the Rovers so that male punters could watch loud sport but regulars Emily, Norris and Rita were, rightly, not impressed, nor, most importantly, was Stella. Its days, like Frank's, are numbered.

I know it's fiction... but I'm quite sure four people would have been able to grab the contract and burn it. I was almost screaming that at the screen to be honest. Silly.
One of the biggest story arcs in recent times really deserved a better 'review' than this!
Anonymous - it's a great review! And I won't have anyone making negative remarks about our bloggers. I wish people would remember we're a flippin' FAN SITE. We are FANS, We are NOT GETTING PAID to write this blog. Think you can do better? Come and blog for us then, but whatever you do, don't sit there and complain about other fans who take the time and energy to write for this wonderful FAN site.
Here here. I always look forward to reading the reviews.
KathrynS wrote a perfectly good review in my eyes, nothing wrong with it.
Anonymous I agree with flaming nora, if you think you can do better then sign up as a blogger and wow us all.
Hey, 'Anonymous'19.06, leave this blog alone - it's great! Write your own then we loyal fans can do a 'Compare and contrast' composition, that would be fun. Perhaps you could add your name to it?
BTW, Annie - I was thinking exactly the same! Where's the office cross-cut shredder when you need it?
Nothing wrong with the review at all, in fact its very good. Stop complaining for the sake of it. Agree Michelle has rather clumsily been pushed in. Cant understand why her contract has been renewed as they dont seem to know what to do with her. On another note would she, Carla or Sally really go to meet rapist Frank to confront him alone in the factory at night? Bit daft really.
I'm also grateful for a review.. can't imagine how time it takes to commit to writing them! The bloggers do this out of the goodness of their hearts and on their own time.. they don't owe us anything! Liked the description of Carla and Peter wrestling over the whiskey bottle.. that pretty much sums up their relationship!
