Sunday Corrie Comments, July 24

Rita's always been such a good friend to Sally. Loved the scenes with them in the cafe while Sally was struggling with Sophie's sexuality. They have support groups for family, someone should suggest that for she and Kevin. I think the writers fell down on this a bit, though, I think they should have had Sean offer his support to the teens. He thought he might, but he didn't in the end. It would have been a nice little scene, as well. Sally was so real though, I bet she's like a lot of parents who have just found out. Sian's parents are back again and this time her mother as well as ignoramus daddy. Even her mother didn't seem to want anything to do with her, wanting her bedroom to store stuff in, selfish cow.

Sally is a real trooper though, she'll defend her chick and pretend to be all PC even if she doesn't feel it yet. She will though. She'll get her head around it and be the most sanctimonious liberal minded mother of all lesbians ever! (You know what Sally's like!) She certainly went to bat for Sophie and Sian when it looked like the headmaster was going to kick them out of school for missing so much time.

Audrey, soft old Audrey, took Natasha in and then Nick couldn't help but sniff around Natasha. Why on earth would Nick think it was Natasha ringing his doorbell after she was released from hospital. She nearly went back to him, nearly. He only wanted her back out of guilt, something very clear to Audrey. A dozen pink roses is a lot of guilt! and finally, Natasha realized it too, and gathered her pride, stood tall, and lashed out at all of them except Audrey. Wow! I think i heard every Corrie fan in Canada stand up and cheer when she busted Gail! The factory bees didn't deserve Natasha unleashing Nick's snotty comments on them. And so that's the last we will see of bubble headed Natasha who was sadly underused until this last leaving storyline. Shame that it took that for us to really see Rachel Levasovic shine.

Gail got sacked and rightly so. But it didn't take Deirdre long to swoop in and take her job! LOL at the look on Gail's face!

Nick, in the meantime, is just vile to everyone as usual including Trevor. Personally, I think Nick had that punch coming. So he's left the factory. What about his investment? I see he wasted no time at all pawing at Leanne's skirts while Peter was at an AA meeting. Nick didn't bother apologizing to the staff for the names Natasha said he'd called them, blaming her for making it all up. Carla points out, she's not smart enough to make it all up on her own and those names sound exactly like stuff Nick would say.


Poor Trevor can't even answer the phone in the office now without cutting off someone. I think that's a bit of a push really but it's meant to get on Carla's nerves and that it did. There are most definitely cracks in that relationship. Notice a few remarks from him lately about her drinking? Notice her nearly taking headache pills with vodka? Watch this space. Meanwhile Trev has had enough of ill treatment by her and Nick and it's over. He quits, both of them. He reckons she still has a think for a dead man, Liam. I reckon so, too. She even had him shave his beard and he does look a bit like Liam now, doesn't he?

Sure enough, though, after Trev left, Carla started drinking and ended up almost going to the AA meeting that Peter was attending so now he realizes she's got a problem. He'll probably Good Samaritan her into a tizzy now.


Tina and Graeme moving into Dev's flat, and the way Norris looks at it, they're running away from the scene of the crime. Rita and Norris have both had their credit card details stolen conveniently after Norris had the computer fixed. Not at a qualified shop but someone that put a card up in their window. Norris thinks their details were stolen at the times that Graeme and Tina both came to stay but they've been there weeks before all this happened.

Jack has come back to Coronation Street, purportedly a row with Connie? I have a bad feeling about this. Why did Sally and Kevin babysit when Jack has moved back home? Yeah, ok, Jack probably isn't much good with a nappie. And of course Molly freaked out knowing Kevin was with the baby so that didn't last too long.

Claire's mother has a new fella. All of a sudden, not only does Claire want to move away from Weatherfield, she wants to move to France with her mother and new beau! Ashley isn't going to handle that well. He can barely speak understandable English, can you imagine what he'd do with French?

Tina and Gail meet at Joe's grave. It must be his birthday as it isn't the anniversary of his death or wedding. Anyway, what did you think of David nearly raping Tina? Do you think she gave him mixed signals like he thought? I don't. She was a little drunk and she was being friendly but in his tiny obsessed mind, he thought she was coming on to him. When this story leaked last year of course the sensationalism of David raping Tina was all over the media but I never thought David would have it in him, and of course, he didn't. The main reason is because it would be the end of the character. There would be no coming back from that. now Tina has a secret to keep from Graeme who would beat the living tar out of David if he knew.

Here's a bit more about general impressions i had from that particular show including a chuckle at Gail.

Gary's heading off to war and it's killing Anna. Seems it's unsettled Eddie too though he wouldn't like to show his real emotions. Aw and it looks like he's spending his last night wiht Izzy. I do like them as a couple! Ciaran may be leaving for Glasgow and he's encouraging Ryan to push out on his own too, instead of staying at home to keep his mum company. Seems Ryan was offered a place at uni in Glasgow but he didn't tell Michelle.
