Funny and well-written. All true about the Platts! And during Deirdre's week.

I also found a lot of the scenes around Deirdre's death contrived - the door blowing open scene was so cringe worthy I actually laughed (pretty sure that's not the reaction they were aiming for). In contrast to what most people seem to be saying I found much of the acting to be weak - particularly the actress playing Bev.

I really like Kylie and Audrey and would happily watch scenes of the two of them in the salon, but the rest of the Platts bore me senseless at this point. Friday's episodes were a perfect case in point. The scenes at No.1 were well written, well acted and had a feeling of truth to them as Ken and Tracy talked Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-27165271972651936582015-07-11T21:02:29.089+01:002015-07-11T21:02:29.089+01:00I couldn't agree more, this storyline has drag...I couldn't agree more, this storyline has dragged on for months, the whole lot should be rested until after Christmas. Callum, Sarah and Bethany add nothing, I just want them gone. Please put Kylie in the Rovers though, it'd liven the place up and keep her ticking along whilst family based stories are rested.

Erica needs to go. The baby storyline involved two characters nobody really cares about. Sarah and Bethany are surely due back in Milan as soon as Tina O'Brien gets another acting job; she's been quite successful away from the Street so probably doesn't want to stay forever.

As for Callum, send him back to the back alleys where he "supposedly" came from and pack Sarah and Bethany off to Milan.

But having them all going on at the same time is just unbearable overkill.
