Paris!

The Websters are in Paris this week and one more episode next week. Friday's show opened up with shots of Paris instead of the usual opening credits. I love it when they go on a location shoot as they did with this storyline. They did Paris once before too, in 2000 when Fred, Audrey, Maxine, Ashley, Emma and Curly went. They don't do too many location shoots that far from the studio. I suppose budget is the reason but it's so nice to take the characters out of the Street now and then. I know they've done a few location shoots in more local areas such as Blackpool, North Wales, the Lake district, wedding shoots at manors and historic houses. Paris is pretty much as exotic as it got though this summer they are doing a location shoot in Malta! That's going to be neat!

I love the Paris shots this week, though, because i'm going there myself in November if everything falls into place. The storyline is a good one too. Rosie and Craig have got it into their teenage heads that they will run away and start a new life somewhere very cool. In this case, Berlin. For Craig, there isn't anything in Weatherfield for him other than Rosie but i think Rosie is realizing that running away is a bit more than she's ready for. Stay tuned this week to find out if the Websters find the kids in time.

Paris is romantic, everyone says so and it seemed to have worked it's magic on Sally and Kevin too. After 20 years together, they've certainly weathered the storms. I always said that Sally remarried Kevin mainly for the girls, and for the security. She didn't take long before she was shagging her boss, after all. If she was that committed to Kevin, that never would have happened and i think Kevin knew down deep that it was true, that she had a fling. He's looking the other way because he loves her and i think he knew she wasn't in love with Ian and wasn't planning to leave their family. I don't know if that makes him stupid or long suffering or what. Would you respect someone that puts up with your running around? I wonder if she's learned her lesson and settled down to the rest of her life with Kevin. I wasn't sure if she loved Kevin but i think she does on some levels. She certainly cares for him but she's not going to be happy with him in the long run if she can't settle herself down to accepting her life. It doesn't mean she can't do anything to improve it but shagging a boss isn't the way to do it. Sally is going to do just that, find a way to do some self-maintenance (so the spoilers say)... stay tuned on that front.
