It also features Sally being dumped by Danny on her wedding day because she had it away with Kev. Sally's so annoying!!!

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

Christ have somehow ended up watching the episode after Toyah was raped on youtube. It's harrowing!!

Also must stop watching old episodes of Corrie on youtube. As if I don't waste enough of my time on soaps as it is!

[MoominMammasHandbag]

Maybe Kevin will come back and have to woo Sal back from Tim.

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

What's the Jenna and Sally and the wine about? And offering to go to the wedding with her? Please don't let it be leading up to something like Jenna fancying Sal...

[eddiemairswife]

He's 31, Beth is 40.

[Mistyshore]

I want Beth and Kirk to get married and have babies

I like Jenna more now that Headband Mandy has gone, I think she was dragged down acting wise when they were together.

[eddiemairswife]

I too thought Beth looked different. I still think of Kirkie as a young lad. I must check how old he is in Corriepedia.

[MoominMammasHandbag]

Have they got a different make up artist this week? Beth, in particular looks positively blooming.

[NuggetofPurestGreen]

There better not be any stupid sport on tomorrow night now and no Corrie. I'm might be out but I like to watch it on Saturday mornings hungover

[whatkungfuthat]

It's strange how some actors/characters work and others really don't. Gloria is just a pain but Beth is really growing on me. My favourite Beth line was when Steve McDonald turned her down after Tracey had led her to believe he was interested - "waste of a good bath"

[FannyMcNally]

It was probably scripted as a slump but after 20 takes they settled for a buckle.

Agree that Beth is coming across as a much nicer person and I hope they keep her and Craig for future story lines. It's nice to see 'Kirky' settled as well.

[squoosh]

He's the worst actor ever!

He probably thought this was his Hamlet moment. I noticed the knee buckle too.

[whatkungfuthat]

His knees did buckle a little bit when Craig said he started the fire [over-invested in Dev world]

[Impomea]

So are they going to run off to Barcelona and not be seen again? (wish I could)

[Pegfreak]

I'm glad Dev didn't slump to the floor - slumping only ever happens on the telly. Yay for making it real, Dev!

[YoureBeingADick]

yes I think beth would give carl a run for his money- she's a real lion when it comes to wee craigy!

I had forgotten all about carl gambling all the money away aswell!

[BitchyRestingFace]

Yes Beth is coming out of it all quite well, isn't she?

• He said he would kill you
• I'd like to see him try!

(I may have done a little fistpump at this )

Dying to see the fallout but will have to wait till Sunday as I'm going away tomorrow afternoon, aargh.

And yy to Stella being a giddy ninny. I never did buy how quickly she forgot that he had gambled their money away, cheated on her AND then acted really stalkery and threatening when he was trying to get her back.

[YoureBeingADick]

sorry- did you not know?

also liking beth more as it goes on. I didhave a little chuckle yesterday when she was phoning in to the school saying he was sick and she was reintroducing solids as he tucked into a sausage bap!

[RubberBullets]

What do you mean if it was real? Are you telling me it isn't :o

[Aquelven]

Please, please let this story end this week!

I'm liking Beth more & more though as it goes on.

[YoureBeingADick]

yes he maybe did feel safer- maybe that was why he finally spoke? I just thought (if it was real ) that dev rushing to lock the door when craig tried to make a run for it might have made craig more afraid of dev then less as he already thought he'd killed dev's wife and that dev was angry with him.

[Bakingnovice]

Thank god this story is ending.

[whatkungfuthat]

Slumped to the floor - I have that image in my head now

[FannyMcNally]

I meant I hate both Dev and Karl not Dev and Craig.

[FannyMcNally]

Maybe Craig felt safe because the door was locked? But after weeks of not saying anything and being blackmailed by Karl I can't see why he would suddenly let it all out especially as Karl had just said about killing his mum.
We were all supposed to think that Dev would stop the wedding! Quite gripping for once.
Dev's reaction to Craig's story was very muted, I thought at least he would've slumped to the floor or something but he just stood there, not acting. I hate them both, but I hope Dev really makes Karl squirm in front of everyone and that Karl doesn't upstage him.
