Corrie's creepy kind of love

Ok, so which is creepier - Kevin and Molly or Tony and Maria? There's an insight into Tony and Maria's relationship over at Digital Spy where the actors talk about their characters on Coronation Street and what draws them together.

But my money's on Kevin and Molly as being the creepiest Corrie affair in decades. I have to watch it from behind a cushion. Not just because it's embarassing to see Kev working up a passion with another woman when his nuts are locked firmly in Sally's handbag, but the whole storyline, for this Corrie fan, is completely out of character for Mr Grease Monkey Webster.

  1. Kev & Molly isn't creepy, it's just completely unbelievable and makes me cringe every time it rears its ugly head. Whatever were the producers thinking when they dreamt this crock of shit up?

  2. It's unbelievable for Molly and Kevin. I could just about believe Kevin would look elsewhere if there'd been some build up about his "midlife crisis", but it just seems to be that he's noticed she looks fit in lycra and thought "I'll have some of that". And Molly is a sweet, loyal, down to earth girl who is suddenly a sex mad harpy throwing away her marriage of only six months. It makes no sense at all.

  3. I find this very uncomfortable viewing, really scraping the bottom of the barrell on this one, now I read that Molly will find herself pregnant and its a whose the daddy? Aarrggh, Revolting.

    Dont mind Tony and Maria so much, it hasnt become sexual yet, Tony is just consumed with guilt or perhaps Tony and Maria are much better looking I dunno.

  4. It doesn't seem believable that Kevin would take after his best friend's wife, not at all. I actually have come around to thinking it's not all that out of character for Molly. She was the one that chased Kirk trying to get him away from Fiz and she chased Tyrone when he was with Maria. Someone fancies her? I think she just might flirt right back and jump in with both feet but Kevin? Surely they could have found someone else to pair him with. A client perhaps.

  5. Both are grossing me out! The 'flirting' between Kev and Mol makes me feel really queasy! Seeing them kiss is another matter altogether! Yuck!

    Maria and Tony is creepy due to the whole murdering thing. However creepiness aside i am really annoyed they've taken this route as i think it's out of character for Tony. Moving on so quickly after Carla when he loved her so obsessively, so much so that he killed her lover with insane jealousy. I'm sorry but no, he'd still be hung up on her, badly at that. Maria is a silly tart so i don't expect anything less from her! She'll drop her knickers asap after the birth!

  6. i'm really enjoying the maria/tony storyline - i'm glad there not rushing the two of them and its progressing naturally. when they do eventually admit there feeling it wont be sexually staright away cause it might not be long since she had the baby. Maria is no tart and right now though she concentrating on baby liam with the support of tony.

  8. Definitely that Tony and Maria are better looking than the other two! I think the fact that Tony is so attractive has assisted Maria in accepting his apology for threatening her and scaring her as well as trying to make her look mad at the beginning of this year! I'm sure it makes it a bit easier ;-)
    Kevin and Molly is just horrible to watch it makes my flesh creep. I think it would have been better for Kevin to have had an affair with a client as well if they definitely wanted Kevin to have an affair. I don't think it's out of character for Tony to have moved on after Carla-he is the type to close the door on something if it hurts him and this is what he has done. It's wishful thinking though if he thinks he can live with Maria in bliss and Carla will never return and tell Maria the truth! What a great big pickle he is making for himself.

  9. This is Kevin's fourth other woman and his second Molly. Yet he's so devoted to Sally that he married her twice.

    Does not compute. Does not compute.
