Oh just go Dev, the ridiculous "jealousy" between Julie and Mary is just tiresome and ridiculous. Why would he even leaave his kids to hi tail off, especially as it wasnt so long that they lost their mother. I wouldnt leave my dog with mad vindictive off the wall Mary and they are not Julie, his girlfriend of 5 minutes responsibility.
Dev's only going away for four weeks if I heard right. What's all the fuss about? It doesn't make sense that 1) Dev would go away on what seems like a whim and 2) that Julie would get so upset over such a short absence. The Callum saga is getting tedious. If David wanted Callum off the Street and for some reason didn't want to go down the legal route, he would tell Owen that his daughter's seeing a drug dealer. End of story.
For all her crassness, Beth has chosen a husband with a good heart, and has raised a son with an even bigger one, who's also got a brain!
How do you explain the difference between a biological father and an adoptive (although not legally) father to a 6 year old child? What a way to learn about how babies are made!
I just checked Corriepedia (Bless them!) Max is 8. That's old enough to grasp the concepts necessary to understand biological relationships. He doesn't need all the physiological details at that age, but he can understand the planting the seed concept. Understanding why his mother is addicted to drugs is a little harder, and why his biological father hooked his mother will really be hard to grasp, but it's time David enlisted some professional help (perhaps through the school) to start the process, or that kid's psyche is going to be even more damaged than it already is. And if David really wants to keep Max and fight Callum, Max will have to learn the truth, sooner rather than later, before a judge calls him into his chambers and asks him who he wants to live with!
As with many episodes of late, I kind of do my own thing when it's on, tuning in and out, it's possible because they don't fully grab me. Sometimes the characters irritate me so much it's the only thing to get me through.
ie, The Callum/ Katie situation - is somebody that stupid to hook up with another drug dealer just by taking his word that 'he's changed, he told me'. If that's the common sense Owen raised her with then she needs to sgiddale off with her mother pretty sharpish!
Dev.... Just go already.... and oh the disappointment in our house that it was only for 4 weeks. We honestly hoped it was for 4 years the carry on with Julie/ Sophie and Mary. What a pantomime with Dev hamming it up at the helm. Is it this is what passes for comedy now at Corrie Production Offices?
BUT.... although I've really been opposed to the thought of Faye Windass being pregnant and really still don't really quite relish the story line, (maybe because I have a daughter around the same age). The episode was saved by the two youngest cast members who played a blinder tonight. My heart ached for little Faye. She was stunning in that last scene, supported by Craig. Incredibly heartfelt, true and beyond her years.
They could have left out all that other rubbish in the episode - because indeed it was rubbish - and left it just to Faye and Craig. They were superb!
