Oh Audrey, just go for the flaming drink - you've done so enough times in the past and didn't miraculously end up in bed or married to Ken. Get a grip.
I'm sorry but I can't drum up any sympathy for Anna or Gary. Do your worst Phelan!
I agree with you Anon - I never liked the Phelan, Owen, Anna, Gary storyline the first time around - now I'm dreading Part II twice as much. Same for the Jenny storyline - it would have been much better if Jenny had gone to counseling and was prepared to start a new life without the guilt of loosing her child. Now it will just be rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat and according to the preview pics on ITV's website she will get a job cleaning at the factory. Does everybody work at the factory???
This stuff with Phealen's boring me already. Don't see the point of dragging up a storyline again that was done to death 2 years ago. Don't believe either that someone as arrogant as him would bother with Anna and Gary again, he got what he wanted and they're far too insignificant to him for him to torment again.
If they wanted to bring him back to finish the storyline off the time to do that was 18 months ago, not now when everyone's moved on.
Yet another huge lack of creativity on behalf of the producer and writers.
Though I will say in fairness the actor that plays him is very good at doing so.
Poor Anna. Having to deal with Phelan and Jason. We all love Jason but from Anna's perspective..ugh... So much for the Kevanna romance. I feel it is soured already. Thanks a lot corrie writers - I was really looking forward to this storyline and now it is ruined.
Of course Gary's first reaction is....punch his face in. That's what got the family in trouble to begin with. His character has not grown and he continues to be the clueless caveman.
Stupid and unlikely storyline.
Also, it should be "Anna reins Kevin in", not "reigns", which is what the Queen does.😊
Zagg...Phelan treated Anna like a prostitute. I think it is a normal reaction for Gary. I bet Jason would be the same way if it were Eileen.
And to Anonymous at 19:57 .... the correction was a display of arrogance on your part.
Also Zagg I would like to point out that it was 'caveman' Gary who put his arms around his mother and comforted her when Owen made her feel like dirt when Phelan dirty deed was discovered.
LOL I just noticed my picture while I was typing this....there I am with Gary! So you see I have to defend him. hahahaha
Anon, re the 'rein' comment - ITV write these press releases, not us. We'll take responsibility for our own errors but we will never take the blame for others. :-)
So, as we know that Jason is leaving, will Phelan be taking over the builder's yard somehow. If he's around for a while, no doubt he will undergo the personality transformation that a lot of characters have and be a lovely bloke in a few months!
Did anyone else think that Nick looked like the Milk Tray man when he arrived in Carla's room at the beginning of the episode?
Newfy Pearl,I agree with Zagg's comments about 'caveman'Gary as Anna did sleep with Phelan to keep Gary out of jail who obviously didn't learn his lesson as he also robbed Roy.
I was also like to add that Gary showed no remorse or shame that Owen and his mother lost everything because of his assault only Alya.He even had the gall to help himself to the food his mother got from the food bank for her Owen and Faye because they were broke.
As for Jason,it takes two to tango and Alya was no innocent.
Yes, I agree. A few hugs for his mother does not negate ALL the really crappy things Gary has done on the street. Robbing Roy was the tipper for me, especially the aftermath from Anna. Then to see him act holier than thou with Alya, ruining her life and screaming about it on the cobbles and keeping part of the gym. Unforgivable in my book. He is not a nice person and severely lacks integrity. So, bring it on Phelan! lol
