Why would Gail go away the week of Tina's trial? You would have thought being as they were close she could have had her week away at the Lakes with Les Dennis another time. I liked Michael Rodwell at first but now I see he is back, my heart sank, more down in the dumps behaviour with Gail fawning and talking in a silly voice to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteEven stranger, Tina's mother did not appear to be in the gallery watching either.
ReplyDeleteFrosty,I think Gail's and Tina's close relationship ended when Tina falsely accused Gail of murdering her father.Besides David was in the gallery representing the Platt family and perhaps Peter was found guilty and that's why he's smiling?
ReplyDeleteMore to the point Where's Tina's Mum ?
ReplyDeleteWell I see all it takes to be convicted in soapland is to look a bit angry after leaving someone's house, don't the screen writers ever think about these things, there was 0 evidence. No blood on his clothes, no murder weapon and no motive!
ReplyDeleteWow is Corrie ever going off the rails...the only think saving it is the excellent actors (for the most part). The storylines are abysmal. If you execute crap with craft, it is still crap. I think the main problem is the lack of continuity and coherence. Many characters don't interact as they 'should' or with whom they should.They don't act or react consistently with their character (like Simon having to act way too young; or Tyrone suddenly being a vindictive sod; or Dierdre acting like an airhead; and how ludicrous is it that her mother is not at Tina's trial- and she is not even mentioned!). There are so many holes and contrived situations that suspension of disbelief is impossible and it is now just disbelief. I hate to say it, but I started tuning into Eastenders a couple of years ago although I always preferred Corrie. But this past year, Eastenders has been brilliant and gripping- while Corrie has been cringe worthy and abysmal- save for a few story lines. What's going on? I don't believe the actors are better- but the nuances, the stories, the development, in EE vs CS- the contrast is just undeniable now. Just my opinion and I wonder if others have seen this too. I still love CS, I just want it to get better! It needs a serious, serious retooling. I don't know how, or what, I just know it mostly sucks right now. Tabby in Montreal
