Pity Party award: Soft star: Graeme has sunk into the blankie and is torn between two lovers.
Slow burn, big explosion award: Gold Star: Becky.
What money problems? award: Brass star: I know why Steve was in the casino, but why was Dev there, on his own as well! He's just as broke, isn't he?
Blackmailing Manipulating Abusing Control Freak In Spades: John really twisted Fiz and put her in the worst place possible, forcing her to help hide the body and coercing her into leaving.
Loyalty award: Gold Star: Kirk and all of Fiz's friends rallying round.
Oh not another nutter award: Gold Star: Poor Maria! First Tony, now Stape threatening her! Good for her for not giving over the baby!
Lines of the week:
John to Fiz "You're a loose canon sometimes!" (her? HER??)
Dev "You're saying Tracy is calling all the shots? Who handed her the gun?" (Point to Dev)
Fiz "This isn't GCSE coursework, we're disposing of a corpse!"
Graeme "I'm just a slow starter in the morning"
John "Why does everyone have to keep asking me questions?!" (Um.. liar? Doolally?)
Becky "First time i can think of the future without worrying about Social Services" (Phrase of Doom, anyone?)
John "I only wanted to teach! People died because I wanted to teach"
Kirk "I could murder a brew" (Poor choice of words, there!)
Becky "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home. Your house is on fire, your children are all.....gone."
John "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday and all is well. Ish"
John "Charlotte was nuts. She was every variety of nut that ever existed; half woman, half pistacio." (You should talk!)
Becky "Talk to the sledgehammer"
Most contrived moment: 100 pound Becky weilding a sledghammer (supposedly) that weighs more than she does and 4 men and 2 other women can't take it off of her before she smashes the Barlow's door down. As if.
ReplyDeleteI gotta agree. Where is Owen and Jason to retrieve their sledge hammer? They must have been cowering outside while senior citizen Ken Barlow tries to protect his property and stepdaughter. On the other hand, Owen being shady Owen... maybe he was hoping Becks would do some serious damage to the walls...maybe to the fixtures, plumbing and more doors --- there could be more fix-it work for Owen's business... meaning MO' MONEY...
ReplyDeleteHere I go again trying to make excuses for bad writing... I want so much to be able to get the same enjoyment and anticipation I used to have for Corrie...
Earth to ITV.... it is time to jettison Phil Collinson and his "crack" writing team...
