Off we go for another week of Sunday comments. Don't forget to check the Bluenose Corrie Blog tomorrow for Lines of the week and weekly awards!
Oooh and did you notice the new opening credits? They redid them for HD broadcasting. They're a bit jarring at first but they really do grow on you! Lovely!
Tina's a ball of nerves coming up to the trial which is going ahead even with David and Nick's paid witness. I suppose that means she has to testify. Will she? I can't really blame Audrey for not being convinced of David's optimism and she was pretty near the mark accusing David of having something to do with the witness. Gail's a ball of nerves too, as the trial begins. Lucky she's got a good cellmate, a far cry from Deirdre's (Jackie Dobbs) but i think Gail would have been able to stand up to Jackie whereas Deirdre was a scared little bunny.
It always amuses me that the viewers in the gallery, and the accused, always ALWAYS hollers out things and never (or hardly ever) get thrown out. But i do think that Tracy was very much discredited on the stand even though her mother, blinders firmly in place, just thinks she HAS to be telling the truth.
The factory is a-buzz, frantic workers trying to get the order out on time with the buyer looking over their shoulders. Does he not notice all that water pouring from the ceiling? I mean, if they're wearing wellies and the water's filling up buckets, it must be bad. Well, the client, Mr. Rickson, didn't like what he saw of the order and it's all up the spout. or down it. A real washout. Factory gets shut down, conveniently, just in time for Tony's big plan. Why would you keep so much cash in the safe on an ongoing basis anyway? Why not a bank? Nick is getting more and more dislikeable, and now he's ragging on Trev for being a binman. Nowt wrong with being a binman. Nick would be the first one to complain if the rubbish wasn't collected but there's no need to look down his nose at everyone. Maybe he's secretly jealous of Trev who gets to bed the lovely Carla who won't give Nick the time of day and treats him like a naughty schoolboy?
Tony's plan to escape was to fake a heart attack after starting a (fake) fight and since he's got a history of it, it wasn't questioned. Robbie helped sabotage the van and he helped Tony get away! Uhoh!!! It seemed to hit the news pretty quickly too! Interesting watching the escape contrasted with the opening arguments at the trial. So Tony's on the loose and the police have warned Carla. Meanwhile Tony is in the ginnel and gets some tea and sympathy from Sunita who has no idea who he is.
Wasn't that lucky that he picked the exact right house where someone didn't know him? Though probably, he thought Maria would be there. I really can't understand how Sunita wouldn't know him when his face would have been splashed all over the papers just a few months ago when he confessed to killing Liam, nearly killing Roy and turned himself in. A killer on the street where she used to live? Dev never mentioned it when he came to see the kids? You'd think she'd have taken more notice of it but nooooo she thinks he's a nice man with a problem. And why would Sunita say she didn't really know Maria? Maria's been in the show 10 years and Sunita's only been gone for 5. Well at least there should be fingerprints around to prove it!
And you'd think the police would leave a few constables around to protect both Carla and Roy seeing as they went to all that trouble to make sure they were aware. And you would also think they wouldn't be so careless as to send every last copper off to the airport, leaving the residents unprotected! Well, Robbie did his job, he got in the factory with Carla and she locked them in to keep safe from the bad guy! Ooops! For a mild type guy, he has a very steely side too. After all, he *was* in prison, don't forget that. His mild mannered way was actually pretty scary, a lot more frightening than shouting and hollering. He managed to get Hayley under the factory roof too, by deception. Tony doesn't have a grudge against Hayley, he's got one against Roy and Hayley is the thing that would hurt Roy the most.
Day 2 was the defence's turn. If that was all the prosecution had, it wasn't much. Even the "expert" said it was possible it was an accident. First defence witness was Gail. The usual indignant posturing, sobbing and chin wobbling while Mary blithely shares sweets with Norris. She doesn't really take anything seriously aside from her own obsession, does she? Yet he's still sat there beside her. *shrug* *Deirdre mode on* I Didn't Do It!!!! *Deirdre mode off* It almost looks like Tina might be softening nad starting to believe Gail until she admitted she did scratch and injure Joe a little. Hmmm... And David was the one that scared Anke off, he should have kept his mouth shut and kept his distance instead of phoning her and cornering her in the corridor!
And you can view the comments from your friendly neighbourhood Court reporter, Day 1 at the trial and day 2.
Lloyd's really got it bad when he's worried Cheryl won't like his shirt and runs home to change! He's making a bit of a prat of himself with her and she's backing off. But he won't let her and keeps coming round for rejection after rejection. She's a mom, too and has a husband, at least in name only, so that puts him in his place.
We find out that Izzy has a smart mouth but is a nice person underneath it. She has a degenerative disease, Just like the actor that plays her. Dev and Sunita have moved into Maria's house. I still don't see the logic. Trevor really is gorgeous, isn't he? Aww Roy bought the red dress back for Hayley and they've made up! You knew they wouldn't stay apart for good! Did Eddie get his hair cut up a bit shorter?
Deirdre's going to work in the bookies. Wouldn't that face put you off your stride? So Deirdre is in the shop on her very first day and Peter and Leanne leave her alone there and go to the pub for lunch. She could hardly know enough to hold down the fort yet! And it seems that Deirdre and Audrey are still at odds over Tracy and it's not really Ken and Deirdre's fault though they are trying to defend her. With the past she's got, you'd think they'd know better by now.
