Why, why, why does Roy feel "guilty" for splitting up Cathy's family?? Not his problem, Cathy's problem.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a softie who only likes happy stories but there is nothing in the summary that counteracts the 'G's: guilt (as above), gloom, glum, grief, gormless. Not a 'g'iggle in sight.
ReplyDeleteNot looking forward to more 'dumbing down' of corrie - do we all like to be treated like 5 years old, or is corrie going for a suрer young new target audience? maybe if they storyliners over the age of 15 it might helр :)
ReplyDeletethat's why I believe that they are trying to make Corrie into another Hollyoakes (Teen drama)
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why Adam and Peter would have any sort of claim to Underworld. I wasn't watching when Adam lost his share, but if Peter gave Carla back his half why would he have any claim to it now?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't as if he had purchased his half. I'm sure Carla just gave it to him on paper to make him feel better. Surely that isn't a legal defense or offense in this case.
I'm also questioning why Roy is the one who's made to feel guilty?
ReplyDeleteA few months ago,Cathy was pressuring Roy to buy one of Phelan's flats for Alex but now that Alex has to get a flat it's Roy's 'fault 'for splitting up the family?!
Why doesn't Cathy get a job, out of Yasmeen's and get a flat with Alex if she's so concerned?
Better yet they both go back to Scotland!
Neither Alex nor Cathy came from Scotland. It's Nessa that lived there. So why would they go back?
DeleteRoy has never said how he feels. He doesn't want to get married but he was happy before the wedding stuff. He needs to admit how he feels to himself. He needs a cuddle .
ReplyDeleteBad couple of episodes for me, so much to be negative about....
ReplyDeleteHow soft is Billy? Can't believe he can be that naive. Shona is a wrong'un, anyone can see that. And she is connected to that bloke from the tanning shop who will be using Bethany in some sex ring palaver.
Phelan, Phelan, Phelan, getting really tired of him now and this flimsy hold he has over Andy. Andy, another soft git, grow a pair for God's sake!
Sick of Cathy and she's bringing Roy down.
Oh and Adam Barlow, please let him do one, not liking him at all.
How can you say that about Cathy? She's distancing herself from Roy and not getting involved in the café sale.if Roy feels guilty about Alex moving into sheltered accommodation, that's his prerogative. Give Cathy a break, she's not to blame for everything!
DeleteAdam inherited the factory and after a few weeks' work there, decided he didn't like it and didn't want anything to do with it. Even if the Connor's underpaid him for his share, he snapped up the offer and signed it over. I can't see how he'd have a case under normal circumstances.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was wishful thinking after Sunday's episode, or I just wasn't concentrating, but I really thought Andy had left! Big disappointment to realise he's still around.
ReplyDeleteOf course Cathy is to blame for everything! She's a freeloader! And why should Roy be responsible for Alex's outcome? And I noticed she said he's in assisted accommodation, which goes to prove he isn't capable of looking after himself. I rue the day Cathy ever hit the cobbles!
ReplyDeleteRoy isn't responsible for Alex's outcome. No one said he was. It should be Nessa taking responsibility, not necessarily Cathy either
DeletePlus, Cathy should tell Roy he doesn't need to sell the cafe. By not saying anything, she is intimating that he should leave. Roy was there first, Cathy should leave, not him!
ReplyDeleteIf she did that, people would say she's interfering and wants him back. Roy is a grown man, capable of making his own decisions. He chose to put the café up for sale. Why should it be down to Cathy to stop him?
DeleteAlthough of course we all realise, Roy isn't going anywhere. I predict he will keep the Cafe and Brian will join him, eventually. Cathy and her family can do one.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments everyone!
ReplyDeleteAdam is a lover, not a fighter :)
