Sunday Canadian Corrie Comments, September 25

Didn't they do well with the live episode? Not a word wrong that i could tell. The hospital scenes with Carla lurking around and Nick getting his heart broken again were good. Peter gasping his vows before his heart stopped (why on earth would the minister have used such a long ceremony! Just the basics for heaven's sake!! Why go through all those vows and sooooo slowwwwwly? I didn't think he would ever get round to the important bits!)  Leanne and Ken talked honestly while waiting and later, Carla and Leanne fell out spectacularly when Leanne finally realized Peter's involvement with Carla and her drinking support and Carla's feelings for Peter. One best friend lost. Leanne finally realized where her priorities lie. I really do think she loved Peter and Nick was just a fling, not real love at all.

The morning after Nick still can't leave Leanne alone and came back to the hospital. Um.. and Leanne still had mascara on? It was giving her panda eyes with the latest tears when Nick was there. You'd think that would have been washed away long since! Peter may have a long recovery. I don't think being stuck in a wheelchair for a time is going to do much good. You just know he'll get frustrated and bored with slow progress. He's already chafing at the bit.

Claire broke my heart, had me sobbing. I loved the scenes in the pub where she heard Ashley's last message and later, sobbing in Betty's arms. Anna found Gary in a sweaty heap in the house, shaking and flashing back to the war. Kevin supporting Tyrone, Ty sobbing in Kevin's arms after, but Kevin is such a hypocrite. And unless that baby has a rare blood type that Kevin also has, why would it reveal the parentage if Kevin's blood matches the baby's? Meanwhile Molly bared her soul and her dying words revealed all to Sally. Can you just imagine finding out you delivered your husband's illegitimate baby! As soon as Molly said "He chose you" i knew she was going to tell. Soap secrets always come out! Kevin and Sally's all night confrontation was excellent too. Sally knows everything and nothing Kevin can say will make a difference. I'm so glad she's chucked him out. He betrayed her in the worst way. The night of reckoning between them was the best stuff from Tuesday's Corrie.

Pam gave Kevin an earful too out on the street. Kevin really got both ears full of bashing didn't he? Deserved every word, too. And poor Tyrone, having that baby in his arms, the baby he loves but knows isn't his but what could he do? That baby only knows Ty is his daddy and Ty has no idea what to do. Maria is being so good and yes, she does know what it's like to lose a spouse that she discovered was unfaithful but the difference is the baby isn't Ty's. Kevin had no business trying to go talk to Tyrone and all it got him was a baby in his arms. Surely that's not going to be legal.


Sally can't bear to look at Kevin let alone a broken hearted Tyrone and "his" baby on her settee. And further, even harder to bear was the knowledge that Pam and Bill knew about the affair and Jack. I'm so glad Sally threw Kevin out and I'm further glad Pam tore yet another strip off Kevin. Rosie is in a strop because there won't be any attention on her for her birthday! Typical


Bill is awfully judgemental too. Ok, Kevin had an affair. Bill cheated on Maureen with Audrey. But the best, and i know it was over the top, but the best was Tyrone figuring it all out. For once, he actually put 2 and 2 together and came up with the right answer and Kevin couldn't deny it. Wow, I totally did not expect Kevin to take a dive into that grave after the struggle! Eeekk!!!! What a scene! Talk about having one foot in the grave! That secret sure blew up with a mighty explosion didn't it?? I have to say that was a brilliant touch! As well, having Kevin have to read the eulogy for Tyrone. I thought Sally was going to be sick right there. Later she gave the baby back to Tyrone even when he didn't want to face it. She did the right thing but will Tyrone be able to cope? As much as he loves the baby, he might not be able to find a way past all the hurt. He's getting inundated and overwhelmed by all his neighbours and friends who mean well and bringing food and sympathy.

Julie did her usual fish out of water thing and offered Kevin sympathy because she can identify with having no family. Lol you got to love Julie. She always makes me smile, anyway. Now the Websters are rowing on the street and hurling nasty insults in the house at each other and the whole family is doing it for sport. I think this is going to be a long and very dirty fight.

Becky betrayed her friends/neighbours in a horrible way too when she stole cash from the broken-open safe in the back of the shop to pay off Kylie who had taken Max. Becky put the evils into Kylie's ear when she gave her the money. I thought she was going to shove it right down her throat! Dev knows that the safe had been robbed but if it was open when the crash happened, who's to say the money didn't fly away or get burned or something? I suppose there will still be signs of some of it at least because Becky didnt' take everything, i wouldn't think.

Another marraige might be on the rocks too now that Steve has figured out what Becky did in order to get the money to pay off Kylie. It all came down to Beck's reaction to Dev's news and how easily Kylie gave them Max. Steve hollering at her about looting while Molly was trapped a few feet away. Yes, but they were in the midst of the rescue attempt as well. I can understand Steve being upset of course he would be. It's still a low thing to do. He's really appalled at her at the moment. He's right, he grew up in that Street, so it means a lot more to him that the neighbours support each other.


John was scurrying around like the rat his is, and managed to get Charlotte out and pretended she was injured in the crash and rubble. Didn't look like the safe was damaged at all and no rubble on top of it or anything, odd how the door just popped open. Funny how the whole area was covered with EMT and people and nobody found her until they did. Nobody questions that! Rita was discovered by chance when Nick remembered to tell someone that Rita had not gone out after all. Leave it to Rita, though, she never blamed Nick for the accident and didn't she look glam with dust all over her and an arm full of pearls!


Did you notice that although they told Sally she had to wear a hard hat, she didn't have one on? And you'll notice that Michelle was "in Glasgow with Ryan" and got back the next day. The actor was pregnant and it was deemed that the live episode would have been too strenuous for her so it didn't make sense that she would be in the pre-filmed episodes of the crash and aftermath as well. You know that people really understand that people are more important than losing their things but, like Rita, you can still understand how devastating it is to lose everything. Carla admitted to Michelle that she had feelings for Peter but it wasn't returned.


Rita's ok but spent more time consoling Sally! I guess that takes her mind off her own injuries and the shock of everything else. Gary is so freaked out and feeling so guilty that he didn't help anyone, poor lad. You just want to cradle him and rock him to sleep don't you? Gary is skipping his treatments and he's obviously down in the dumps too and no wonder after what he's been through. He's very much on edge. Dev was very kind to let Tina and Graeme use his Victoria Court flat since their flat over the shop was destroyed. At least Becky was there for Claire. I think Claire is probably the first real girl-friend that Becky's ever had, an odd couple but they seem to work.

John found out that Charlotte's handbag was still in the house, filled with photos and Charlotte's keys so off he goes go her house to see if he can find anymore evidence of her madness and boy does he ever! Photos, newspaper clippings, journals. If you got any good looks at that journal he found you can see she was completely gaga over John. Meanwhile Fiz is dealing with a very fragile preemie and John is nowhere to be found. Where is he? confounded by Charlotte's parents while trying to rid the evidence which he burned later on at the house. John is often described as a good man that makes bad choices but good heavens, he's really his own worst enemy. He's also completely selfish and i'm sure has at least 2 or 3 psychiatric disorders.

hree funerals in one week on our screens though we didn't get to see Ashley's. Just as well, Molly's was a veritable free for all and Charlotte's was a farce (for John at least) since he still has to pretend to be Colin since that's what Charlotte's parents know him as and didn't he squirm when two of his and Charlotte's former colleagues turned up. I'm surprised more of the teachers from Weatherfield High didn't show up as well. These two felt more like they were just having a gawp than genuine mourners. Perhaps Charlotte wasn't well liked by staff nor students alike.

You forget that Nick and Leanne used to live with Ashley way back when. It's nice that it was mentioned. Nick may actually be to blame because he didn't report a problem with the gas. He didn't know he was supposed to. You would think with something like gas it would be a no brainer even if you think the stove is on the blink. And Norris is not going to let it go either no matter what Rita and Emily advise and now Claire knows and is determined to blame Nick because she's got to blame someone. I suppose they would start rebuilding the viaduct as soon as because of the tram routes. I liked that Rita managed to put Nick at ease a bit and also got Claire to see a bit more reason about him. That was a marvellous scene when she confronted him. Her heart was breaking and so was his.
