Surely Phelan will have to get his comeuppance by Christmas?

Mind you, I hope Anna gets sent to prison too.

And I bet he discharges himself and has a relapse just like Chesney and Robert, it's a pattern now in Corrie.

I knew Billy would survive, crap characters always do. Yes to Carla not being pregnant because it's been remarked on. I really hope she hasn't come back just to be seriously ill/dying, there is way too much doom and gloom as it is. I would love it if she has had a baby, Gail can go into over protective grandma bear mode again trying to figure out if it's her precious Nick's child. It would also be a right kick in the teeth to Michelle too if Robert was possibly the father. On second thoughts it's too clever a story line for the current writers to come up with.

Grin Smeaton

The survival of the cliff fall was a) unbelievable and b) hugely disappointing.

We need to redesign the cliff and add spikes and a firey pit at the bottom.

"With scenes some viewers may find upsetting..."

The only thing I find upsetting is that upsetting scenes are being shown at 7:30, when there's small children watching, who are easily upset. The whole point of the watershed is to avoid easily upsettable children being upset! I find it upsetting that they need to have such a warning before a family programme.

With Billy I think

"Shut up you selfish lying creep", wish he'd left with Todd

woodhill · 27/12/2017 19:38

More snivelling not selfish

Tony Warren must be spinning in his grave. I notice that Angie has magically recovered from her PND and Adam looks pretty lively for someone who's overdosed about twenty-four hours earlier.

EB123 · 27/12/2017 20:08

Eileen is also looking remarkably well after Anna hitting her on the head.

Agree about the cliff, spikes and firey pit get my vote.

LoveMySituation · 27/12/2017 20:14

Are Daniel and Carla really going to sleep together? That's almost incest Grin

qazxc · 27/12/2017 20:23

I think Carla is ill rather than pg. Roy was enquiring how she was.
Aiden does my nut in. He's a spoilt brat, expecting daddy to finance him. You're a grown man, paddle your own canoe ffs.

Braceface · 27/12/2017 20:26

I can't keep up. Was Carla with Robert then?

cloudyweewee · 27/12/2017 20:30

Carla and Robert had one quick shag I think.

scrabbler3 · 27/12/2017 22:22

I downloaded Melvyn Bragg's interview with Tony Warren from Sky Arts. I won't go into detail and spoil it for anyone who wants to watch it, but the things he talked about that made CS popular and respected have now disappeared. I really don't know what he'd make of it now.

I will say that there was a clip of twentysomething Ken and he really looked like Daniel! Very good casting of Daniel, fair play.

I just wanted to say I would gladly give back all of my Christmas presents if I could have Adam Barlow in return. Jeeze. That white t shirt and jeans combo on Boxing night. Divine! I’ll look after him...

HarrietKettleWasHere · 28/12/2017 00:50

Billy was nowhere near the edge of the cliff before the fall and inexplicably flew backwards.

'Looks like something broke his fall'

WHAT? A FUCKING BUZZARD?!!ConfusedConfused what could possibly have broken a sheer drop into jagged rocks?!

cloudyweewee · 28/12/2017 08:53

Some years ago I'm sure that Ken Barlow's real life son and grandson were in Corrie or did I dream that? The son is actor Linus Roache. Off to google!

Chipstick10 · 28/12/2017 09:02

Isn’t Linus Roache making it in America? I am sure he was in SVU

millimat · 28/12/2017 09:56

I thought that Billy was nowhere near the edge of the cliff too.

myusernameisnotmyusername · 28/12/2017 11:10

Cloudyweewee you're right! I had forgotten about it though.

LoveMySituation · 28/12/2017 11:12

Cloudy I remember that too. I just don't remember who they were playing, I mean which of Ken's family, are there more sons etc that we don't see?

thewooster · 28/12/2017 11:38

Linus Roache is in Vikings playing the king and IMO plays a good role.

I like Daniel Osbourne and think he plays a good part plus he is very similar to a young Ken which makes it believable. Much more than Peter - but again I like the actor who plays him, just doesn't resemble Ken at all.
