Anna "rails" at Owen for telling Garrah but WHY did she tell Owen in the first place??? Plus the ridiculous celebration of a job when you havent even had the interview is a typical soap thing which always leads to bad news. I wish we could move on from all this now. Thank goodness for Sally and Tim for some light relief.
This whole Anna/Phelan thing is driving me crazy.
Why on earth does the WHOLE family have to know about their sex life? It is so ridiculous. The girls insisting that it was their business etc...really? It's all down to Gary and his temper. They should have let him confess,and go to jail for a few years. End of. This whole merry-go-round of blame and anger is too much and really not fun to watch.
Is there the same problem and controversy in the U.K. that currently exists in The U.S. and Canada about the lack of funding for health services for returned vets, particularly for mental health services? It seems to me that Gary has not had adequate help for his obvious PTSD. If lack of availability of services is leading to this sort of problem, then the writers of Corrie are missing the chance to show how this has a ripple effect, which affects and often destroys families. They've laid out all the elements, but they've avoided mentioning it directly. What a lost opportunity!
Am I assessing the situation correctly, with regards to the Armstrong/Windass mess? Phelan owed Owen money for some work. He refused to pay, so Owen stole his motorcycle & held it ransom until he got his money. This wounded Phelan's ego, so he bided his time, then offered Owen a chance to make a lot of money and expand his business, but it came at considerable financial risk. Once Owen's ego required him to accept the deal he was hooked. Phelan then humiliated him at the job & when that wasn't enough, as the coup de grace, he "bedded his woman", Gary, of course, exacerbated things by assaulting Phelan. All very Neanderthal. What else am I missing?
I'm looking forwards to some lighter moments with Sally and Tim.
They make a good pair, and I hope they aren't ruined in the usual and predictable soap opera way.
Talia, I agree about Sally and Tim as they are Corrie's saving grace right now. At the risk of sounding cynical, I bet in true Corrie fashion once Kevin returns, they will be ruined in yet another triangle storyline.
