Eileen stamping on Phelan's fingers was hilarious, and a suitable end to a ridiculous plot.

Eileen stamping on Phelan's fingers was hilarious, and a suitable end to a ridiculous plot. Sadly, not so. Ridiculous plot – yes, but the end? No! It's not a spoiler because the episode has been broadcast, but to show Phelan safe and sound (relatively) in a pub or guest house after all the publicity about his end just seemed like a total insult to the viewers. I won't comment on him sewing up the gash in his leg with a normal needle and thread because perhaps he might get an infection and die of sepsis! Wither now with the Phelan plot? |

I was more annoyed than surprised at the "Easter Stunt" pulled by Phelan. It was pretty obvious the fall into a harbour would have been survivable. Hoping he will die of sepsis now. Guessing it may go that Eileen will get banged up. Then, around the week of the BGT finals, when they show Corrie later, Phelan will seek hospital help, be found, confess and Eileen will be sprung. They can't drag this out until Christmas, can they?! Oh yes they can! |

I was going to reply “Oh no they can’t” as Corrie has now become nothing more than a panto... but I reckon you’re right!

Nice to see musical theatre star Anna-Jane Casey making an appearance in Corrie last night as the woman wanting to photograph Robert's pecs while he fiddled with his wok...

I commented on that in a musical theatre group I'm a member of on Facebook. One of the other members said she must be desperate for work, but it gives her a massive profile even though she was only in it for two episodes.

I would imagine the pay is good too, even for a couple of episodes, and it's always worth boosting the CV too especially with a major player like Corrie. A-J will be touring with Calendar Girls from August this year too, so the work is coming in :-) |

I see the latest issue Corrie is tacking is male suicide as that is how Aidan is leaving the show. Sad to see a character go like that , but quite timely with the news that that is how Avicci died.

What an episode tonight. Brilliantly written and acted by the whole cast. Here's hoping it may help someone with this issue highlighted.

Gail's monologue was amazing, but Aidan's father's reaction was a whole new level. Also, I was very impressed by the David / Shona sequence too. Corrie is back, finally. It was a great episode and so well acted. Interesting to see the different reactions to the suicide and a great discussion point as to whether the victims are selfish. The previous episode showing Aiden sobbing uncontrobally at the end was heart breaking. |

How come I can remember that someone obtained the keys to Eileen’s house and emptied it of its contents but she can’t? She’s told several people about dodgy goings-on now: brick through the window, odd phone calls, being locked in the cab office, yet seeing her belongings loaded up in the back of a truck in the middle of the street, not to mention that her keys have been copied, has eluded her...
Ryan’s brought a touch of camp to the street...
Pat’s big week next week... Hoping he won’t get the golden buzzer again.

I thought the same about the furniture episode.
Also did anyone notice the nod to the early days of Corrie last week when the 3 old ladies were in the Rovers drinking milk stout and gossiping. Anyone old enough will remember the days of Ena Sharpness, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhirst doing the same.

Yes even my husband who says he isn't interested in Corrie mentioned the famous 3. |

Jack P Shepherd last night... Amazing! I suspect there are quite a few of us here who can remember ‘David’ like this:  I’ve always loved David’s character, the actor’s throwaway delivery that can make you laugh out loud or wince. He’s refused to be moulded by the scriptwriters over the years, playing David in his own unique way. A stunning performance from him in this storyline... I hope he gains the recognition he deserves. |

Who’d have thought that in the space of just one day (it feels like a very long week) we’d have gone from the sublime to the truly ridiculous...? New depths in Corrie history, putting itself up there with the trash that really is, for the most part, ITV. Sue Cleaver... I can’t help thinking that she should have stayed as dinnerladies’ Big Glenda...  |

I was thinking it especially when the camera zoomed in on his face.
But that storyline can now finally be buried..thank god.
