Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Michael could get back with Grace, Izzy can’t keep up the pace, and will Craig take a stand on race?

Billy puts his trust in God
But shouldn’t trust that sneaky Todd
He framed poor Paul - the rotten sod!

Two Corrie rhymes for the price of one

I don’t know if it exists in UK law but in the US they have a thing that judge Judy describes as “but for your actions”. Meaning that if it hadn’t been for Kelly’s behaviour the murder wouldn’t have happened. So her hitting Nina set off a chain of events and set the tone for violence.

Yes, I mean, I have no desire to see her carry the can for Corey’s actions but I don’t want her to walk free either. But I bet she will.

Yes, her hitting Nina did set it all off.

God... Imran is a bit wet tonight isn't he?

I really hope she doesn’t get off.

The Corey actor is really good! He’s vile!

I’m more annoyed that no one has pulled her up on how thoroughly nasty she was.

Yes, he is vile.

And correct me if I'm wrong but does a Defence Lawyer go blabbing all over the place about a tril that's the next day??

Trial !!

Exactly! Surely Imran should be telling her to plead guilty to a lesser charge because she knows what part she played. She is crying that she shouldn’t be in jail- imran should be saying, “yes Kelly, you should. You didn’t kill him but you contributed to his death”

Yes! And Kelly keeps crying because she’s innocent, surely she feels some remorse for what she did do (and didn’t - for all anybody knows, if she’d called an ambulance immediately Seb would have lived!)

I know Imran's a solicitor advocate, but wouldn't a kid on a murder charge be assigned a barrister by the court, for the trial, irrespective of means?

And that's leaving aside the whole foster carer conflict ...

I'm amazed at how, somehow small and diminished Nina looks. It suits the part she's playing, and I think she's playing it well. Well done her

Kelly made the first physical contact, thereby starting that whole chain of events.

I agree with this.

Why is imran not correcting Kelly!??? Nina is not on Kelly’s side!!

Can I just say this... if I'm in trouble and need a lawyer, I won't be appointing Imran.

I’d be appointing Adam…

Oh dear, this bit is too much. Not sure it adds to it

When the murder first happened I suspected they would do flashbacks like this and i understand why they did but I wish I hadn’t seen it.

Imran was so good when he defended Yasmeen but is coming across like such a wet blanket with Seb's murder trial.

I don't think we are supposed to feel sorry for Kelly as such but Corey is laying all the blame with Kelly to save his own skin. Yes Kelly set off a chain of events but she didn't murder Seb. Hopefully Corey will get found guilty of murder and Kelly will still be found guilty of a lesser charge such as manslaughter or joint enterprise.

I'm guessing they planned to do flashbacks from the beginning because the murder took place in lockdown when they couldn't film any close contact. Really haunting viewing tonight though.

Wasn’t there CCTV footage of Corey going back to get his backpack that he then chucked in the canal?

Didn’t Corey wash his clothes, bag and so on? He had a big row with Asha about it?

Good episodes tonight - all the young actors did very well.

He washed his shoes for sure.
