Sunday Corrie Comments, July 3

Wow, Kevin actually called his sister, someone we haven't heard about in years and  years! I'm glad Rosie gave her father hell for how they reacted to Sophie's news. And now the baby's born, doesn't he look smug that he's going to be the baby's godfather? He seems to enjoy winding up Molly. Kevin's another one that i find irritating, a real neanderthal at times.

Molly and Tyrone are back, just in time for her to have the baby! She sure is cranky! I think that's fairly typical for the end of a pregnancy. How ironic was it that Sally delivered the baby? They called the baby Jack! I hope Ty's mother doesn't think they named the baby after her! Did you see the baby open his eyes and look when Jack gave him a little kiss? Awwwwww..

Did you see the looks Molly was giving Kevin while she was in labour? pure venom! Tyrone and that van driver, kicking each other and pushing, i was waiting for them to start pulling hair! Bunch-a girls! And those boxes Ty was shifting out of the van were very clearly empty. Why didn't he just back up the tow truck and go another way before the traffic landed on his backside? Or call a taxi? Kevin was next to useless, not that you'd expect him to know what to do with a birth at his feet but tell me, there's a medical center 50 yards down the road, why wasn't he down there trying to get help for heavens' sake?

Becky is determined to get Max back for Kylie. You think maybe she's pouring all those maternal instincts that got kicked around after the adoption rejection all onto that little boy? Me too. She's determined so Kylie has to get a job and Roy is the lucky employer. I use that term loosely. Kylie in the cafe? Even worse than when Becky first worked there. At least with Becky, what you saw was what you got but Kylie is sly and sneaky.

Oooh Trev's back again too! Carla is supposed to be ok with his job as a binman but she's trying hard to get him in the office. I really think, bright though he might be, he would be suited to that. And Nick is absolutely vile to Trevor. There's no need of that, if he doesn't think Trevor is good at it, he could help train him.

Dev is back to blaming Claire again since she, too, ran away. He's vile. Just as vile as Nick. There was no need of him throwing Becky's childlessness in her face. Maybe i had just a tiny little bit of satisfaction when Social Services decided not to let Aadi home with his parents and removed Asha too. For all that Dev was running around scowling and hollering and blaming everyone else, the authorities maybe think that's "protesting too much"? Well, of course, we the viewer know neither Dev nor Sunita would harm their children. Doesn't Aadi remember falling? Or he would tell, surely? Anyway, the truth came out quickly enough. Simon and Aadi were tussling and Aadi fell, as we all know. So does that make Dev apologize to all the people he was unbearably rude to? Of course not! Sunita will be more gracious at least. I really fail to understand what she sees in him.

Ken has now met his grandson as well and is trying to play peacemaker between his son and grandson. Turns out they're very different in personality and politics. James is  more of a free spirit and Lawrence is a buttoned up conservative. Close minded too. Unaccepting of his son being gay. Ken is appalled! How could a good Liberal like him have a bigot and homophobe as a son! Boy Peter sure put the boots in, letting all Ken's skeletons out of the closet. I really think Deirdre should be a bit more supportive no matter that it's a bit of a shock but she's just using it to take all her frustrations out on him. It's not as if he got Susan pregnant while he was married to her or even while he was married to Val.

As for James being gay, it looks very much to me like James makes every effort to wind up his father about it. I suppose we don't know all that's gone one between them and there seems to have been a lot but it remains that Lawrence doesn't approve and can't accept. Maybe if James had been living his life the way his father wanted, use his political degree, go in to politics, that sort of thing, rather than be an artistic free spirit so different from his father's goals in life, coming out might not have been as difficult for Lawrence to accept. Lawrence no doubt loves his son, he's just disappointed. Ken ended up sending Lawrence away because they just couldn't see eye to eye and Ken didn't approve. Yes, Lawrence is right, it's the same situation in reverse. But it's different, too. And none of the three will change their views and attitudes

I heard a great saying "If you don't like gay people, blame straight people for continuing to have gay babies" ;)))) Ken seems to have a pretty bad track record, not just with women but with his children! His oldest is a stiff necked homophobic prig, his next oldest is an alcoholic, his adopted daughter is a convicted murderer. At this rate, his son Daniel should turn out to be a junkie or a serial killer! Poor old Ken, another child he didn't bring up but at least he wasn't on hand to screw him up either. He sure decided to spend some quality time with Peter, though, didn't he?

*sigh* even more reasons to hate Nick. Snobby about a pram. Snotty to Kylie *before* she pulled the attitude. Gary stood up Izzy for a lash on the town and a shag with Kylie who couldn't have been more obvious. I don't think he particularly fancies her, but what's a lad to do? Poor Izzy got cornered with Mary and Norris instead, she ought to take it out on Gary for that alone!
