Tommy, battered and bruised, mooched around in several of his low-cut tops, edging further away from the so-called 'cheeky' character we had been promised a year ago. This perpetually sobbing wuss of a bloke needs to man-up and soon. At least whilst he is with Tina, they don't ruin another couple.
Is it worth mentioning Sunita again? Oh go on then, let's. From shop-assisant to slut, the ruination of Ms Alahan continues. She's now taken to serving up the twins pasta dressed like a brothel keeper. By the end of next week expect to see her dishing out beans on toast decked out in fish-nets and a whip. Oh I'm forgetting, we already saw Sunita's pins in all their glory last Monday (credit where credit's due - Shobna Gulati has a body to be proud of). However, this unseemly storyline soldiers on. Sunita's character change continues to jar and feels unrealistic. In addition, Karl has morphed from jovial bloke to filthy old man in a matter of weeks. If the rumours are true, Sunita is due to descend into the ranks of the soap-opera bunny boiler in the near future. All very sad and unecessary but maybe she will emerge on the other side as the till operator we once knew and loved.
Congratulations then to fesity Rita, a riot in peach, as she tussled with a nasty drug dealer, a rancid Norris and a dreary bridesmaid. Barbara Knox delivered in spades and in a week of so-so stories, hers was the one that stood out. Here's to you, Mrs Tanner!

brilliant! Can't see what you have against poor Tina though although she's far too good for that Tommy one.
Rita had more balls than Tommy!!
Enough of Sunita's arse already!
Great blog! Problem with Tommy and Tina, they've been written as middle-aged. They're only in their early 20's and they're going for a mortgage, moping round the Rovers with the oldies and sharing a chip. Very boring.
Sorry to say this but the actors playing Karl and Sunita simply aren't strong enough to deliver this story line. It was meant to be a bit saucy but it's degenerated, as many have said, into Carry On. The writers have tried going for humour, hiding in cupboards etc, but that just looked ridiculous. The characters' transformation happened overnight leaving fans bewildered.
Barbara Knox absolutely shone in the wedding episodes. It was lovely to see her and Dennis get married eventually, even though all the drama beforehand was a tad unnecessary in my opinion.
Not too keen on some of the other plotlines. The end of the godawful drug dealing story was a welcome relief, but I wish that Karl and Sunita's torrid affair would stop! Thankfully I eat well before Corrie's on!
The wretch and the letch..Sunita and Karl. I realize that they wanted to give the actress a storyline but to totally destroy her character in the bargain was not necessary. She did a total 180 in a matter of 5 minutes..quit the shop...got on at the bar..changed her entire wardrobe to that of a pole dancer and decided to speak out of the side of her face..I suppose that means she's trying to be sexy...it's all too gagworthy.
I did love the wedding..Sally giving Kevin the gears about his shoes..sweet. The wedding song was spot on and I love Rita and Dennis together. I sure hope the writers do not destroy this couple as they have so many others but you never know
Tommy and Tina getting back together. I was shocked at this outcome...not.
Insulting Marcus? Not cool. Jerk.
I completely agree about sexy specs disapearing off the face of weatherfield without any explanation. Could Ken not have said something about her being unwell? The party was right outside her front door!- Micky
Get over yourself 'anonymous'! Marcus is hardly Jason Grimshaw . . . but thankfully he's not quite Sean either.
