Perhaps that whole scene was rewritten to provide for the hasty departure of Sharif.

They were almost incidental extras. I had thought in previous episodes that Rana had a skeleton in her closet re her family, as in perhaps they were estranged or something, but that seems to have come to nothing.Loubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863157238652077789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-8554391901118618162016-11-06T12:47:37.011+00:002016-11-06T12:47:37.011+00:00The phrase "less is more" has been missi...The phrase "less is more" has been missing from Corrie far too often lately.

There is documented evidence from her recent dismissal from the army, and certainly Aiden and Jonny have insights that should be nearly as strong as Kate's. What fiz gave as 'evidence' is circumstantial and there was plenty of proff that Chaz was fine while Maria was in London.

Why can't any good, realistic scenes be produced for her? Since Liam (Sr.) and Tony Gordon, the writing for her character has been all over the place. Give the poor actress a break! And Caz is nothing more than a panto villain.

There is a lot of documentation for that including her ousting from the military and her pretend injury to try to keep Kate. Why on earth would any police force worth their salt assume Maria killed Caz when there's no body and she'd only been missing a few hours.

On the whole I enjoyed these episodes and loved the way the Nazir affair reveal was handled, but the final scene of the second episode had me screaming at the tv, she's behind you! I posted earlier in the week that someone surely would see Caz on the street, then as if by magic, she appears just as Maria gets out of a taxi. Why did no-one see her?
