Sunday Canadian Corrie comments March 24

Gloria and Eva sold their jewellry and the funeral cost them next to nothing and she's still moaning about the price. Stella didn't tell Jason the truth about Karl keeping her in the car so even though he seemed to believe her, he was cool with her. Apparently everything she said to Karl made absolutely no impression. He's back on her doorstep with her umbrella and setting in for a cuppa when Gloria asked. I'm not sure why Eileen would have suggested Karl take Sunita out in the cab knowing they've broken up and there's bad blood there.

Gloria knew darn well something happened between Stella and Karl and managed to get it out of her. Karl had that punch coming and Sunita totally enjoyed watching all the trouble he's got into. Now he's lost his job yet again. One step further down into the hole and he's going to be a desperate man now. I can't believe Karl used crocodile tears and a stupid "I used to be a contender" type line. Anyway, driving Stella to a lonely spot to "talk" didn't get him very far. Apology accepted, now do one! She still won't take him back. And by saying he's to consider her dead to him? That could be a very bad thing to wish! He's not going to start again, he's going to fester and simmer and it's all going to boil over. But Stella did a 180 turnaround and sounded awfully sympathetic to Karl after Gloria and Jason caused Karl's further trouble.
 
I thought it was so obvious that Jason's meeting with someone from the council was a set up and Karl was behind it. Instead, Karl managed to break into the car and hotwire it, stealing it and setting it on fire. Then he made it sound like Jason did it himself, at the very time when he was in the pub, etc. What would be the motivation? Insurance? Just when Jason was starting to build up the business. Isn't logical. Amazing the detail of the description of the what he was wearing if he'd got away in the dark. 

Karl couldn't resist sniffing around Jason to find out what happened with the police. Jason got his own back, though, by waving his bag under Karl's nose and telling him he was moving in with her and rubbing it in later in the Bistro. Karl thought by revealing that Stella got him a new job he'd surprise Jason. He didn't. Foiled again.

When Jason was telling Glo and Stella, they couldn't have shown less enthusiasm and support. I can't understand why Stellla was so fussed about Gloria and Jason getting all in Karl's face when she didn't want him near her and he kept coming back and winding everyone up. She didn't want Jason to suggest to the police Karl was involved in the set up. All of a sudden it's "back off, don't interfere"? It comes across like she's defending him all of a sudden and he's very much acting like a stalker. And Jason's not acting like a child, he's got very good beefs against Karl. I don't think he's being unreasonable.

Sunita is doing her bit to keep Karl down, too, asking Dev not to serve him. He can't get his job back. He was on his last chance as it was. Karl can't blame Stella, so he's going to blame Sunita. He was certainly not going to blame Stella. Sunita putting the digs in to him didn't help either.   Looks like Sunita and Dev are a lot friendlier. Reconciliation in the wind? Dev is playing it a bit cooler which is probably good, rather than jumping in and taking all advantages he can get. You can see Dev's little mind already putting clean sheets on the bed and packing his bags to go home, can't you? Both of them are playing happy families with the kids.

Alison played Kirsty well. She pretended she didn't know Ty was in  jail to bring the subject up. Kirsty did admit where he was but tried to make her mother believe the lies. And she did at first. A few little inconsistencies, though, like Kirsty leaving Ruby with him to go back to work. I thought after awhile, Alison was saying things to bait Kirsty, to see what she'd say and that's exactly what she was doing. She knows her daughter well and Kirsty admitted it. I think her mother is going to be the one that saves Tyrone in the end. She is trying to make Kirsty come clean to the police but Kirsty is probably feeling like she's gone too far now to back down. 

Kirsty's thoughtful after her mother's visit and her mother's back to see Tina and Fiz. I'm really suprised Alison admitted it all to them but naturally she blames herself. Perhaps in a way she's right. She let her husband do his worst all their lives and it's affected Kirsty like it has. I didn't think Kirsty would go to the police to retract her charges, even before she realized her mother had been to see Tina but  now she knows, she's going to dig her heels in. The thing is, her mother *does* know.

Fiz confessed to Tyrone about Alison. Now, of course, he feels she's made things worse. So will Kirsty crack in court? She's a very good liar. Threatening Tina for interfering with a witness? What witness? She's not seen her mother for months.

It doesn't matter that Kirsty thinks it was a set up, it's still true that she's lied and set Tyrone up for a prison sentence as revenge. Her mother's so cowed after all these years that she won't betray her daughter and risk Kirsty's anger. But I still think her mother might be instrumental in Kirsty's downfall.

Owen's words made an impression and Tim's coming to the play and it didn't stand well with Anna. Faye's a manipulative little madam isn't she? She managed to push Owen out of the play attendance. Naturally Faye's scheme to exclude Owen got busted. She's not smart enough to be *that* calculating. She's a kid. Owen knows darn well what she did and it was proven when Leanne told them all the Barlows were  going and when Brian told what really happened. Owen figured it out, Faye wants Tim and Anna together, but he was pretty good about it. If Owen didn't fly off the handle so much, maybe Faye wouldn't be doing stuff like this.

Katy's friend probably thinks she's in there with Ryan. She probably is, but he's not in it for any long haul. Probably enjoys making Katy jealous.  Katy hates that her friends are both after Ryan. Nothing to do with you, sweetie. Isn't Ryan loving all the attention?

Now that Eileen knows Toni is running the show, she's going to have a jealous cob on about the charity do. Why should he have to tell her which of his mates is female? Eileen is jealous no matter what Paul says, unreasonably so, if you ask me. She's so full of insecurities that she's her own worst enemy. Jealousy is Eileen's worst enemy and she and Julie spying only got them in trouble. Paul knows darn well why they were there. I doubt he'd leave Eileen over that but Eileen's attitude will push him away a lot faster. I can't blame Paul for being miffed at Eileen for sniffing around and not trusting him. He's right. she doesn't trust him because of her own insecurities. So what does he do? Blow off work, and ask the one person Eileen is extremely jealous of to go shopping with him to buy Eileen a ring. That was not very smart. But they need to work on her issues before they get into an engagement. in the meantime Eileen's quite happy flashing her rock around when nobody's looking. Why not flash it to the world!?

I see Brian is still feeding his face while espousing a healthy lifestyle.  Tim is quite insistent on his correct name. Owen is all chummy with Karl and Karl is rude and ignorant to Jason. .

And the last episode this week was a Monday in the UK and it truly was a Monday Moan show:

Katy and Chesney are getting on each other's nerves, or at least Ches is getting on Katy's. Katy's moaning and miserable.  Chesney needs to listen to Fiz but it could be too little too late. Even a smurf doesn't put a smile on Katy's face. Steph wasn't too happy to find out Tracy is Ryan's ex and Katy helpfully filled her in on more details about Ryan and made him sound a lot more dangerous than he is and Steph kicked him to the curb. Well, after all, Ryan did instruct them to talk about him while he was gone. 

Then looked as if she was happy with a good day's work. Miaow. Katy admitted she was jealous and Ryan's pointing out all the things that are wrong with her being tied down so young, lighting a fire under her dissatisfaction. I'm positive Ryan is just after her because he can. He's already had a history of womanizing, we heard about that when he returned from Glasgow.

Jason's moving in, with all his bits and pieces. Looks like he's off the hook for the van fire though. Gloria's moaning about having a pub cat. Jason's moaning about probably losing the contract because of the burned out van and he's pretty sure Karl did it so he kicked out one of Karl's mirrors. Oh that's so mature! But I do understand how he feels.

Peter's still moaning about Leanne's attitude towards him. I wonder why? Still got lingering feelings have we? Gail's getting on Sally and Sophie's nerves too. How did Gail come right out of an extra long shower with dry hair? Gail's moaning to Sally about Leanne and Audrey.

Dev and Sunita are most definitely getting closer. I knew all along that Dev really still had feelings for her and we all know Sunita regrets her fling with Karl. She had a moan about that too.
