Ah, yes, sorry about that, you are quite right,... of course I knew Hayley was it it, I think I need to have a lie down.....

Soz.

Leanne seems to have missed a few steps. I'd have thought asking the school / doctor for some help and referral to specialists would come before getting him chucked into jail.

They're having counselling sessions. The little scrote doesn't bother to take it seriously. What's the minimum age for juvenile detention centres anyway?

I think the word went round last year that Becky was coming back to sort out Callum - maybe the producers were thinking of asking her. Too late now.

I love the Tim/Kev relationship. Instead of being jealous of each other, they've formed a bond because of their experiences living with Sally. It's a sort of Street substitute for the missing Steve/Lloyd relationship. Good banter and a great deal of empathy.

Anna doesn't half scrub up well. Bit too well-built for my taste, but I can see the attractions.

Was that a typo....don't you mean attraction singular?........errr no, maybe not.


Regarding my Becky post earlier, I'm sure I read somewhere last year that she was coming back to sort Kylie out, when she was going through a bad patch with the drugs.

Obviously was not to be.

Shame.

The use of the plural was my homage to Carry On films.

I'd love to see Becky back. Can you picture Steve's face if she walked into the Rovers in one of her miniskirts and those high boots? She was a brilliant character.

Good for Anna, not prepared to put up with Sally's election crap any more.

I used to like her, but she really gets on my tits these days.

[coppice]

Hmm....Anna does have the look of a 50s Italian film star gone just very slightly to seed because of a pizza addiction issue.

Sally's campaign slogan - "Whistling the peoples' tune".

OK Metcalfe - my tune's "The flight of the bumble bee". Righto, I'm waiting.........

(Whenever Beth used the word anaphylactic, I kept expecting her to say prophylactic....)

Tim continues to impress, I love his dry humour, Sally makes a good foil for it.

Interesting storyline developing with the cannabis and Izzy.

Love the Tim/Sally relationship and the contrast between her aspirational snobbishness and his straight forward approach to life and his dry put downs. Did anyone notice Sally chastising Tim for lounging around and watching a programme about beavers in last night's episode?

This isn't really a spoiler. because it's publicly available info, but in my TV guide for next week it advises us that Jason is thrilled to land a big contract. T'would appear that Phelan has begun his machinations.

Owen had a house which he could mortgage, and Phelan took that dosh. Our Jason has got sweet FA, apart from the lease on the backstreet yard. I'm wondering what the storyline will be.

Haha. I was expecting you to comment on the vague Sky programme info of Sinead wanting to be a model .. and to where it may lead

My TV guide mentions this briefly (pun alert....)- will we get to see her in scanties?

'Jason's yard '- always wondered about that actually. Charlie died at the hands of that minx Tracy and Jason just sort of 'took it over' ? Hmm.

I think Jason's dad Tony bought the yard for him.

This. Because he felt guilty for abandoning him as a kid, he wanted to give him a start in life.

Before this "angry kid" storyline he used to get some good lines using dry humour and observation. His character has been wrecked to some extent - I'm not sure where the writers are taking this. I noticed his Klingon frown was missing tonight, so at least the makeup artists got it right.

Looks like the Carla business is heading towards its inevitable conclusion.

Completely this, was just about to post the same! Plus 1 Leanne. Bored of her distressed wits end face.
