to be glad I dont live in weatherfield

[PatFig]

It looks like a bloody war zone

I was watching like this .

The blast was well doen but AFAIK trams don't bounce

Was v.shocking though, I reckon Ashley is defo for the chop... too many references to him 'saying goodbye'

And that stnt cost £1 million... really?!

it was shit.

That is the first time i have watched it in about 9 years and expected much better for the build up. It looked like stop motion animation.

Mind yo better Weatherfield than Midsomer

It was a bit horrific!! Poor Rita and Baby Jack :(

I'm thinking about boycotting ITV altogether after the 'news' clip at the end. But then I'd have to give up Judge Judy. So I might just return to my original boycott of the tripe that is Coronation Street instead.

So who died then?

What was the news clip at the end?

I was half watching but mumsnetting working at the same time and I didn't see the newsclip?!

My thoughts/guesses

Alive - Ken, John, Deidre

Dead - Rita, Molly, Jack, Nick, Ashley, Bobby (Beckys nephew - think that's his name)

for starters...

looks like Molly might have got a bit squashed.

It was like the real news but it was pretend news, like a little advert. The sort of thing they put on when the news at ten is coming up and there is something major to report. Except it was about a fictional programme. Totally cringeworthy.

I agree about the news thing. Weird.

I don't usually watch Corrie, so I felt like a voyeur just tuning in to see the explosion/crash

It was a bit rubbish but the tram flying towards Molly did actually bring tears to my eyes! I wonder how many people will complain that it was a bit graphic for before 9pm?!

Never seen the news thing.

Only 3 characters are being killed off. I thought it was going to be the xmas storyline.

I liked the bit where the arse end of the tram reared up and then squashed Rita.

Oh I'll have to have a look on iplayer.

Mama - where did you hear it was only 3, I thought it was going to big quite a cull? I wonder if Molly dies and Jack lives then if only 3 die (or does a baby not count in the head count?).

There is no way Jack is dead, rumours for months that Kevin and Sally raise him, too rich a storyline there for them to write him out.

Heartbreaking to see Molly running with him....:(

I'm watching it now, has John Stape just killed whatsherchops?

Yep.
Four are dying, and she is one of them.

Will this be on itv player or repeated tomorrow do we think?

I forgot it was on and went out. .

I just don't think a Manchester tram would come off the viaduct like that..... all a bit over the top. Did anyone see the very first episode sandwiched between the two current ones tonight? It was so stilted and static - it was of course all done live then.

Apparently 2 die in the crash, 1 is murdered, fizz goes into labour & the baby is born very prem & very unwell but John is no-where to be found.
Someone gets married & I have heard that Sally ends up raising baby Jack.

So I think Molly & Ashley will die (his wife & children will go & live in France)
John has obviously murdered that nutter so will just chuck her into the aftermarth & blame it on the accident & then does Leanne marry Nick or Peter?

The trams are barely running so the liklihood os very small lol!

It's going to take Norris months to pick up all those sherbert lemons and humbugs.
