Fancy writing a guest blog post for us? All details here!
In many ways, I really like the direction Corrie is going in, including the sheer amount of storylines. But I cannot buy Billy as a Charles Bronson style figure who fights in the name of revenge. I know this frames a back story that comes back to haunt him. But, it feels about as believable as Mary suddenly getting a job as a hit woman, who listens to Iron Maiden!
Meanwhile, Simon is scowling again. He has blurted out what the vicar had been up to. Send in Toyah as the mediator. Did I mention she has quals in counselling?
Sinead, who rarely knows whether to scratch her watch or wind her butt, has now proposed to Chesney, following the sudden death of Katy (who?) and poor Chez is left as dumbfounded as we are. Will poor Joseph reappear aged 25, moody and smoking dope? Coldplay sing on the jukebox as Sinead calls Chesney and confirms that she wants him. Until floppy hair nips into the pub for some Kale crisps. Careful, Chez!
The bells ring out and he is getting wed. Over Katy yet? Who is she? We need some Phelan. and Seb brings out the worst in him, when he asks for a pay rise and inadvertantly discloses that it was Anna's idea. Bang goes Seb's pay increase. Is this all being set up to make us believe that Seb is Andy's replacement? Phelan does an Alan Sugar and Seb's fired (again!) - poor lad!
Poor Katy is not buried yet and, yet in't Rovers they toast the engagement. No-one seems bothered about Katy, Anna would be ringing her hands and screaming, usually.
Peter appears to try and 'set the record straight' in front of Summer's social worker. He speaks as if he is appearing on Judge Rinder. Will she fall for this and forgive the man of the cloth? Would you?
Comedic value comes in the form of Kirk.and his campaign. Sally better watch out. Brexit, Trump and the recent German elections all bode well for Kirky!
Summer's wooden social worker falls for Peter's performance. Todd, though is not as fooled. He has become a brilliant character, as he is no longer a panto villain. He has feelings and some morals.
Daniel and Kate come to the pub for a "laff." When Beth tells floppy the news, it is not quite the laff a minute. He is disappointed and upset and is sick on the cobbles. Strange, because he was with Lois Lane the other week, a right lothario this one.
Todd sympathises with Billy, when in reality given the storm brewing - he should run. I wish they could just be happy with this wonderful little girl. But, if everyone were happy in soaps, what would we talk/blog about?
I'm away next Wed, so no blog from me I'm afraid. Until next time.....
