t. There's an unwritten rule in UK soaps, that no one can ever get away with a serious crime. Ever. It can drag on for years but the perpetrator has to get their just desserts. So Rob will get caught.
The reason why Corrie is the best soap is that they often bury stories for years, and then bring them back. Whereas Eastenders don't do that, as their viewers are too thick to cope.
Remember when Percy's budgie died when Emily was looking after it. She replaced it with a new one and Percy never knew. Until about 10 yrs later when Percy saw a story in the paper about the oldest budgie in Britain, and thought his budgie was a few years older. Emily had to come clean before he went to the press, to tell him that the his budgie was about 8 yrs younger than he thought!!
I also recall it being in the paper that Corrie had an issue on how to deal with Carla running over Stella when drunk, when she was already banned for drink driving. Apparently originally she was going to go to jail for a long time, when they discovered that Frank had covered for her. But the scriptwriters changed their mind and wanted to keep her in it. So she needed not to get caught, which was against the code of conduct. I think they agreed a big face off with Stella and a confession to Stella etc would suffice for the time being, but at some point in the future I think that will have to come back to haunt her. I doubt she will be allowed to escape legal retribution.

I always find it amusing that the characters can become enraged enough to commit serious assaults and murders, but despite even some recent post 9pm screenings, they never, ever swear.
Like the Liz "jellyfish" thing I mentioned earlier. For proper swearing you have to watch Hollyoaks 'late'. They say piss.As a long term addict I think the Street is extraordinarily well acted and scripted - have briefly seen other soaps but they all look like poor am dram to me . Anyway..one of my favourite quotes came from Steve MacDonald in the 90s when , a propos nothing , he went on a long riff in the Rovers about how the Peugeot engine in the F1 Jordan sounded completely different to the other V10s and why . Surreal stuff .
Well lots happening in last night's episode...
What a dilemma for Sally....How is she going to break the news to Tim?...moreover DOES she want to break the news?...she strikes me she doesn't know what she wants........
Meanwhile, over at the Kabin Fay's plans to become a paper girl were thwarted, when Norris found out she was only twelve...
Over at Owen's house relations are still frosty with Anna, so much so that he storms out to the Rovers... The postcard from Phelan did not help much in that regard...
Life's never dull on the cobbles.....

TBH Im a bit bored with it right now - lots going on but nothing gripping
Fecking red-top doing spoilers again today. About Faye . Big story coming up. I refuse to join their game and spoil it........ which I've just done.Why oh why do the tabloids do this? Is it just to placate the TV companies who are looking for free advertising? I don't want to know!
Anyone notice Liz making sandwiches for Tina's wake, saying "this jar of marmite was hers."
The size of that jar!!! Like a proper catering jar. Must have cost about £500. Would have been Tina's most valuable asset. It should have gone to her mum as next of kin. Not sure how she afforded that on barmaids wages.

It's a "soap" speciality - ordinary people seem to have inordinate amounts of spare cash. Hence they're in the Rovers (or the Vic )every night, when in reality they probably couldn't afford to do that. Ditto meals in the Bistro. At least in Corrie the values of the houses seem to be on a par with the real world - in Eastenders there's absolutely no way those people in humdrum jobs could afford the rents round there.The size of that jar!!!

Right - who reckons Lloyd will spill the beans about Steve's surprise party? It's done and dusted.
