They mostly come across as self-absorbed & delusional. No one has the courage just to step back, take a deep breath and do the right thing instead of butting into everybody else's business or trying to control the situation.

Even though there has always been drama, there was a feeling that you'd want to hang around with some of those people, meet and have a drink at the Rovers, maybe even want one or two of the characters in your life. Now, I don't have that feeling at all.

He'll likely keep doing anything possible to destroy both David and the rest of the Platts any way he can, which (not knowing David's plan) will lead to his own death.

David will survive unless they've tricked us with the news of his 'six figure deal'. One possibility is that he is eventually sectioned which could be an interesting story if handled right. The BARB figures are misleading but that's what people go by. They show that Corrie is lagging behind East Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.com
