So Luke confides in Sophie rather than telling Steph what is going on?! SOPHIE?! Who writes this stuff?
ReplyDeleteThe same people who write the carp that is the Simon storyline.
ReplyDeleteCarp is a more polite way of saying crap by the way.
ReplyDeleteMichael is guilty to face Eileen because he carry's another woman's shopping into her house - did I read this correctly? When the man is still married to Gail. The woman who lives yards away from him and he had no qualms about jumping into bed with her neighbour!
ReplyDeleteI still can't understand seeing Eileen and Michael together to this day - Gail forgave him for burgling her house. She was torn because of his dicky heart and didn't want him to die. If the writers wanted to put Michael and Eileen together why didn't they do it from the start.
Counting down to Blackburn's departure....
I would imagine Michael is feeling guilty because he has burgled her house in the past which would be why she is scared to go home alone
ReplyDeleteBut hasn't Michael stated Gail's house was his first attempt to burgle a house? Hense his inept attempt. Of course, he might have gone on to burgle the Station Road house before being arrested.
ReplyDeletewe really need a whole new crop of writers, ones who don't write carp.
ReplyDeleteCarp! Love it!
ReplyDelete"Carp" - I love it too. Perhaps it could take on a life of its own, rather like "ping".
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though the writers have gone way back to the past for a recycled storyline as Kate urging her workmates to go on strike sounds like all the time the factory girls,Vera Ivy and Violet would strike against Mike Baldwin for unpaid overtime.Too many Connors too few storylines for them.
ReplyDeleteAnd really who gives a rat's furry backside if Kate quits the factory? She has been there for 5 minutes and does nothing but stick her
ReplyDeletenose into meetings and hang in the Bistro. Honestly, this story is pure carp!
Beth, 'counting down to Blackburn departure' you obviously haven't seen Emerdale, don't hold your breath - it's carp too.
