Getting to the point now where I cannot stand Phelan. I wish they would write this nasty piece of work out and Eileen with him.
ReplyDeleteAlso dislike Rana, don't need any cheap tarts on the programme.
Please tell me this lad that Billy is helping out is not his long, lost son. Those stories have been done to death! I am quite fond of Billy and hope he stays in the show for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't think so. I'm pretty sure Billy would be openly supportive of a son, rather than trying to buy him off and keep him secret. After all, he knows Sean has a son. But of course, that would involve the character behaving consistently, so I could be wrong.
DeleteWhat's billy's secret? Why is he so angry all of a sudden?
ReplyDeleteIt is more likely that it is someone he had an affair with - and now the young man is trying to blackmail him.
ReplyDeleteThe boy is Billy's brother. It is the start of his back story. He comes from a criminal home and is ashamed.
ReplyDeleteRe "Anon 9.36" "Don't need cheap tarts on this show" Is it because there far too many? This show is built upon cheap tarts, they are a staple.
Odd that Billy would be ashamed of his past, given his current job and his Boss' ability to forgive...
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the blog interview with the actor who portrays Alex and how he considers himself a role model for other actors with Down Syndrome,I'm disappointed that Alex's storyline involves him drinking and being late for work because he's hungover.I think he's showing a lack of respect for his aunt Cathy and for Roy who was kind enough to give him a job and whose flat he's living in.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Alex lives with Roy and Cathy, at least not yet. Maybe they will offer for him to stay with them as Nessa is mostly not at home to keep an eye on him. I expect somehow he will see the "error of his ways" before long. Drinking too much is a fairly common thing for Corrie characters.
ReplyDeleteLiam is indeed a role model for people with disabilities and the disabled community in Bradford is quite proud of him.
