Cathy's "impressed" that Roy struggles to relate to her lay-about, useless, drunk of a nephew whose been invited to live with them without Roy's previous knowledge or permission? Great gal, that Cathy.
ReplyDeleteNick's "brain damage has returned"?? What's that, like herpes?
"stuck" at a beach party is not how most people would describe it, Ches... good bye and good riddance!
I think the new producer's first job should be to cut down on overly detailed synopsis' being available before the episodes screen. I've drifted away from Corrie over the past year to the point I rarely ever watch it now but reading a preview like this means that actually, I don't really need to see it at all!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a criticsm of the blog - more a fact that, unlike soaps such as Eastenders or Emmerdale, Coronation Street seems determined to "tell all" in advance. This has made it less essential viewing, in my opinion.
A. Dear Tracy...a sale is a sale. If Nick want's the Bistro back your dumb boyfriend can just say "No!" It's that simple. No drama involved.
ReplyDeleteB. If Sally talked to me the way she talks to Jenny--she'd be a few teeth short of a smile.
What odd guest list choices: for the stag, why Luke and Kirk, and why no Roy or Steve? They have no relationship with Nick. At least Tim is his mothers bff's husband. Ditto the hens: what are Beth and Cathy doing there and where are Audrey and Sarah?
ReplyDeletePlease, I know that for dramatical purposes, Roy needs to play nintendo with Alex. Realistically, I'd rather have seen Bethany and Simon commiserating and getting into a a spot of trouble for being just a little to young to be included in the festivities for the filler. I also know dramatical is not a word but sometimes it just works.
abbyk,I think Cathy was invited out of respect for Carla's friendship with Roy.I am disappointed that Nick didn't invite Roy either for the same reason.That good man is having a bad week in terms of being shown little consideration.first by Cathy and Alex and now Nick.
