I'm enjoying Linda/Mick/Elaine. That's fun.

Les and Pam? Unbearable. I'm liking Claudette more and more, though.

As for Kathy's Return, they certainly fumbled the ball. Big time. Massive disappointment. She gets a shift in the Cafe and nobody bats an eyelid. Not even Marie. Really terrible.

Hi, Carl, yeah, I've been crazy busy with work and personal matters so I unfortunately haven't been here as much as I'd like.

I must chime in with agreement about Ian's suicide attempt and subsequent "reunion" with Kathy. Wow. Awful. The only interesting aspect of tonight's episode was how, side by side, Jane and Kathy are so similar looking and sounding.

On last night's episode of EE on WLIW Stacey accused Bradley of "attacking" her when in reality Deano had spiked her drink. Deano said to Stacey "He (Bradley) doesn't look like he'd attack anybody" and Stacey snapped back "They all don't, do they?" Heh.

Christian is pretty adorable.

Thanks for posting, Carl, but wowzer, John Middleton's hair looks an absolute fright!

Nice rear view shot of Max on tonight's episode.

This can't be his last episode, can it? The s**t has to hit the fan re: Bobby now, right? And Max will be released?

Corrie unfortunately needs someone to wield a considerable axe. Is Oates capable of this?

Cute pic of some snazzy looking gents at the TV Choice Awards...

Carl, this morning I had to post the latter video on another board to prove to the ignorant so and sos on there that Kathy and Sharon were actually enemies for years and they were never friends again. Phil had told Kathy that Sharon had gone after him, had instigated the affair and Kathy believed him. I kept on waiting for her to get over it already but she never did, right up to her departure. I thought maybe someone like Peggy might set her straight but that never happened. I thought Angie might have via a phone call from Florida. Nope. I hope DTC and the writers were aware of this when they wrote and filmed Kathy and Sharon face to face with each other in 2015.

Mick calling Shirley "mum" was really, really bad. Some people are calling it cheesy but I think it's worse than that.

Between the stillbirth episodes and Friday's episode I hope we don't get any more "things I did/could do/would never get to do with my son or dad" speeches for a while.

Keiron has a face I'd love to slap. He might be a lovely guy but his face and acting are just incredibly obnoxious. Watching him and Stephanie Davis in scenes together was quite unbearable.

Well, tonight's episode was deeply moving. And Bonnie Langford is an absolute revelation as Carmel.

I'm hoping that Dodger returns with amnesia as well as a new sexual identity and he ends up in bed with Harry.

Yes, Carl, I do, thanks! Just watched the first two installments. I hope during the live episodes which sometimes just consist of the housemates conversing we'll hear some CS gossip. And Jenna Jameson will exclaim "Wow, that Julie Goodyear sounds like one f**ked up bi**h!"

I suspect it's Lindsey, though. And Sophie Austin will be on EE by the middle of next year.

Now that it turns out that Phil knew about Kathy for three years I finally buy him allowing a sobbing Ian into his arms following Lucy's murder.

I don't think Phil knows about Gavin's fatherly connection to Sharon because I don't think even KATHY knows...yet.

There's a Copy Share URL function on it, Carl. On the right side of the pics.

Damon Rochefort (Coronation Street writer) posted this cute pic of him with Jonny Labey at a Manchester Pride event. Look, no Alice band!

Bright Eyes, do you mean that he is a cross dresser? I've been reading this and starting to believe it. Les Coker in drag-ugggh.

Tristan Gemmill is quite a hunk but will there eventually be a point in bringing Robert to Weatherfield apart from rekindling his relationship with Tracy? I'd love it if it turned out that he was deeply in love with a relative of Charlie Stubbs and is going along with her master plan for him to woo Tracy and then dump her on their wedding day.

Yes, why they had Paul actually become concerned about his pathetic granddad is beyond me. And, sorry, that hair accessory he wears to pull it back off his forehead really irritates me.

I am, too, Carl, he is absolutely UNBEARABLE. He really and truly is the worst actor this show has ever had as a regular cast member, male or female. When Les reached into his desk and took out a flask I was so hoping it was a gun, instead.

I agree, Ben, this and Coronation Street are both treading water. Both are very, very bad right now.

So our first hint that Ronnie is unhappy being with Charlie is because he SNORES? If I had that dude in my bed I'd find a way to put up with it. And i am really fed up now with Samantha Womack's lazy, sloppy acting. Her upspeaking (ending statements with a question mark) drives me crazy for starters. Was Sam a fan of Neighbors when she was a kid? That bad habit of unspeaking is one of Australia's least attractive imports to the UK.

I certainly agree with the comment about Lucy Fallon. She really is a talented girl but looks far too old for Bethany and her accent is pure Manc and not someone who grew up in Milan.
