Sunday Corrie Comments, May 2 - 6

I'm on me holidays but I've gone over the updates on Corrie.net and have extrapolated some comments for you. If  i've got them wrong or attached them to the wrong weeks for our Canadian screens, bear with me!

So now Chesney has even more reason to hate John and the plot thickens now that Colin's back and Charlotte's just loving it! I really don't understand why the removed Fiz's brain along with her backbone. John has done nothing good for her life. But the twists and turns in this storyline are good to watch aside from her making excuses for him all the time. That just makes me sad. How would John think Colin wouldn't find out about his identity being stolen? As soon as he tries to get a job, the jig's up, especially if Colin wants to go back into teaching again. Meanwhile, John is running around like a headless chicken trying to work out what to do and Fiz is at a loss and has to put up with the thank you dinner at Eddie and Anna's on her own. I am loving watching Chesney be so snarky to John!

We find out why Colin went to Canada in the first place, in pursuit of a woman who turned out to be married to a convict who was going to be out soon. She left him and he came back, lonely. Colin might say he's ok with the shock of finding out what John's done but you and I both know he's going to want his name back, sooner than later and all hell's going to break loose.

Charlotte is determined to stick with it all, probably the most exciting thing that's happened to her in years, all this intrigue, twisting and turning with John very rapidly losing what sanity he may or may not have had as well as the logic valve which seems to have come loose. And it's very clear that Charlotte, more bonkers than a bag of hammers, is hot and horny for Stape.

Plot hole alerts: How did that guy find out where "Colin" lived? Colin would likely still be in the phone directory at his real address as would most information that could be dug up about him. A school wouldn't give out the address of one of their staff to just anyone so John's employers couldn't have done it either. And the guy says his wife had an affair with Colin and he's just got out of the nick, yet didn't Colin say he went to Canada to meet up with the woman who's husband was in the nick? And if the schools are out on holidays, how come John is still going to work every day? Don't the teachers get a break in summer too?  

Also...Claire is taking the kids off Sunita's hands and says she won't tell. Won't the kids mention it? Do you really think Audrey would have the phone number of that Russian Sailor in her address book after all these years? he wouldn't have had a local number anyway and he stayed with Audrey that time when he was trying to leave the ship and marry a local. I seriously doubt she'd ever have had Reg Holdsworth's number in her book, too.

Nick and Carla are back on the same team again. I can't see that working out, can you? Carla is clearly better at the job than he is. Poor Sian had acute appendicitis, had surgery and bounced back awfully quickly! Ryan wants to get back together with her. Michelle asks him if she looks ok and advises him to pretend and lie even if he doesn't think she looks ok. Nice. No wonder she seems to have such bad luck with lying cheating men. And she's teaching her son to be the same way! Sian feels like she owes Ryan a debt for getting her to hospital and Sophie's jealous and insecure. Laughed at Ciaran suggesting Ryan have a boyband on the stereo (Boyzone for instance?) The end result of all this is that Ryan catches Sian and Sophie snogging and has discovered their secret.

Owen is far too concerned with Izzy's lovelife but I suppose having a disabled child makes it harder to let go as they grow up and become independent. Kirk reckons he could be an arbitrator. You gotta give him points for trying, at least. Cheryl is still hiding from Chris. Dev is still a sexist plank. Why is Streetcars paying their employees in cash and not by cheque or direct deposit? Even the factory does DD. Why isn't the Kabin using Graeme as their window cleaner? And in case you thought Sean's quest to see Dylan has died down, no, it hasn't.

Audrey is really considering moving to Greece. Let's hope, if they can't talk her out of it, her family insists she not sell everything until she's absolutely sure she won't return. She could get out there, Lewis could take all her money, and leave her high and dry. In the meantime, Lewis continues to patronize the betting shop and make inroads with Deirdre who is now meeting him for drinks behind Ken's back. Clearly besotted which is exactly what he wants, i reckon.

Little by little, he moves in closer to Audrey who's also completely besotted. She's turning 70 and Natasha decides to throw her a surprise party, something everyone thinks she won't appreciate as she won't want her age to be broadcast, especially to Lewis the Lothario who couldn't give a toss as long as she's got a bank account. I do like his character, so smooth and oily and I'm just waiting for it to all blow up, which it's bound to. He's too good to be true and that always means trouble.

28 dozen cases of chutney instead of 28 jars. I'd say Sunita was in a bit of a pickle, wouldn't you? (ha!) She's going to switch jobs with Dev. I bet he doesn't last a day looking after them two kids.
