Tony & son will do him in (possibly accidentally on purpose) and the Platts won't know what lurks beneath, is my guess, until the poltergeist activity starts.
A copy of the "body under the patio" storyline in Brookside. And of course the body under the floor of the knicker factory. Not exactly a new idea........The script writers and actors did handle the Roy and Haley story rather well so no doubt they would have put very careful consideration into how the scenes are going to be played. I guess at the moment it's a toss up between gets ill and dies vs gets better.
Personally, i'd rather see the gets better story more than the dies one, but as programmes go, it's one of the more powerful one to discuss child death and what it actually means then and in the aftermath.
What I liked very much about Roy's story is that his character's history has not been forgotten. The scenes coming in to play now of a romance after bereavement will I suspect be David Nielson at his very best expressing the real torment you go through when you try to start anew.
The Callum story is all pantomime drama, but when Corrie, does serious stuff, it does it with an expert's skills.

It's just been done on depressing Eastenders, and a few years before that, also on Eastenders. And it's 50/50 as to whether Emmerdale is going that way too. Please, for the love of god, no more dead kids.

To lighten the mood - what sort of "racing car" is it that Luke is preparing? It is road registered, and doesn't look like it's got a roll cage. I've assumed all along that the scriptwriters don't know much about motor sport (*) and have called it racing when in fact they mean track day. We'll be enlightened in due course, no doubt.
(*) Wacky will remember a young Dennis Tanner going to Oulton Park with his new toff friends who ripped him off for all the costs, and generally treated him as a bit of a joke "piece of rough". He didn't care - he was so excited at watching what seemed to be a Gold Cup meeting because he named all the major stars of the day.

No, got to be honest, must have missed that episode, had a look on the net for it, but no joy....Sounds just like Young Dennis though, Corrie did quite a few "on location" episodes in the early/mid sixties.
I remember going to see Bernard Youens (Real name Bernard Popley) "Stan Ogden" opening a garden fete in Gorton, Manchester around 1964, he must have been in trouble with Hilda, because I remember him joking with the crowd...."I hope our Hilda doesn't find out"........What a lovely man Bernard was.
Regarding tonight's episode, more Cardboard cutout cops arresting Callum, probably safer in custody, than having Denton and his monkey getting hold of him.......

It's a Saxo track car, isn't it? Or is he entering a racing series?It's a 182 Clio, racing blue.
I quite like the look of it. Between that and Callum's Impreza they've got some interesting cars st the moment
Not like Rosie's thing she bought, I can't remember what that was though?
