CORRIE - was Eva a pig in her previous life? Or a hyena? *NO SPOILERS PLEASE!*

[yawning801]

Like the title? I think she was either, with that laugh!

Watching episode 1 now. Billy's performance is in danger of rivalling Ian Beale's for Most Terrible In Soap category.

No, Summer, I don't think a honey and hot lemon will cut it

What is he addicted to?
What were in the pills?
It's just all so ridiculous.

Ali is meant to be 25 and Michelle 41, so she had him when she was 16. His father is Dean, who I think was her partner for a while but died young?

CatherineCawood I think many viewers will have been upset by the shockingly crap acting.

I really was expecting the upsetting scenes to Aiden dying on the operating table. Don’t suppose that would have been a wise thing to portray though. That made me laugh cloudy! Are we supposed to have been distressed at Billy’s cold turkey impression?

That methadone is good stuff. Billy was almost back to normal after taking it.

I was to be a doner for my mum went through all tests etc. In the end (after 7 years in dialysis) she got a transplant the other way not long before I was due to donate. The single thing they have got correct is how often they give you the option to pull out with no blame. The rest has been utterly rediculous compared to what we went through. Carla sitting chatting away a few hours after transplant - she should have been in renal icu. Been actually frustrating to watch. No mention of her now having to drink 10 litres of water per day to get the kidney functioning. Personally I found it upsetting but only because it was so close to home.

I can't figure out whether Billy's supposed to be suffering from drug withdrawal or pain. Whichever, his acting is terrible!

I agree, they won't let the kidney donation go awry, but what the hell is up with Aiden?

I wondered if he had some serious health condition, but that can't be, as the docs would have sussed that out before the transplant.

Please no spoilers here so annoying :(

I to was expecting someone to die with the voice over saying sad episode and be warned. Then nothing! Maybe she got the wrong episode??

Billy is acting like he’s on heroin. Glad not just me who’s confused if he’s been hooked painkillers for ages or if fact he’s been taking nothing and went straight into strong meds. What exactly is supposed to be wrong with him? Is he supposed to be getting better?

Woulnt they tried wean him off drugs instead of cold turkey?? Going be nice and cheerful story line then if Billys going be an addict.

Can someone explain the baby story line with Michelle and Doctor? Do t want google in case spoilers. A senstence or two will do!!

And wow to 10 litres a day after transplant. You must never be off the loo!

When will Eva start showing? She could at least pretend to be wearing floaty cardigans. She supposed to be 6.5 months

Michelle had Alex(the GP) when she was 16/17 but Alex was swapped in a hospital mistake with Ryan - who she brought up as her son. When Michelle lived with Steve about 8 years ago the mistake came to light and she tried to have a relationship with Alex (his family were not happy) and please Ryan but it was impossible - Alex cut off contact.

Very annoying how Michelle is pestering Alex with her exaggerated sad face. Leave him alone woman!

cloudyweewee i reckon you could be right!!!

THanls for update Kirkashli so she not seen him since he was 8? Np wonder he didn’t want to know. Least they can’t do the oh no we need a family member for a transport story!

Alex was a teenager when Michelle met him about 8 years ago. Sorry I was unclear in my post

It's silly that out of alllllllll the GPs surgeries in the Greater Manchester area, Alex has been placed on the street where his mum who he does not wish to have contact with lives. Even if he had been placed there by some coincidence, surely he could have gone to the university and asked to change it.

Unless Michelle is right and he does want a relationship, but we aren't getting any lingering, anguished looks from him so he does seem quite set in his mind.

I hate this Alex storyline already. I hated it the minute I realised who he was. Because it means we have to see more of Michelle’s appalling acting and gurny face. That scene where she walked up to him in the pub and pretended to be a little girl with a booboo was shameful. You used to be so good Corrie writers. Do better. Get rid of whoever is writing this shit and be better again.

Oh and thanks to that ridiculous acting from billy I had a dream last night that my dad was a heroin addict in withdrawal!

phelan that's hilarious!

It was very confusing. I knew my dad wasn’t an addict and yet here he was in front me looking all ill and shakey.

Oh that must have been very odd. I woke up this morning as I was bring breathalised because I was speeding with no headlights on in the dark. I also had a bottle of beer in my hand. I looked down and was v relieved to see it was an alcohol free beer . Bizarre!

you’re a clever drink driver!

Just watching Monday's episodes now as I've been away. I really, really want to slap Billy and tell him to get a grip.

I don't think the actor who plays Billy is very good. When he first came on the scene he spent a lot of time just grinning inanely; now he is overacting to a ridiculous degree.
