Well plenty of action in Friday's action packed episodes:-

Nessa gets the big heave O, Brendon and Mary get down to business, Kevin and Anna fan the flames of passion and Cathy burns her house down.

Phew!

I was just about to post the same sentiment - high drama indeed, in true soap style.

Observations - 1) Cathy called out weakly in her time of need, yet Roy could clearly hear her out in the street. 2) The pub Brendan selected for his courtship of Mary looked like a downmarket 'Spoons, if that's possible, 3) How come everyone was so surprised when Craig was asked to redo Maddie's memorial - didn't he do the original?

For some reason, I've always understood that Mary was still "intact" if you see what I mean. Brendan could be in for a surprise.

4) a match which appeared to go out when dropped in a waste paper bin with a few papers in it suddenly exploded into an inferno! Cathy wafting the flames with an old sheet really helped too!!
Next time I can't get the log burner started I will call for Cathy to help.

Mary had a lot of euphemisms last night, openings, doors, new woman etc - obviously to convey her intactus being violated in corry style.
Kev alluded to his new garage as well - hopefully we get to see it soon and ponder what of the old one ?

He'll be parking his car in a new one, soon - nudge, nudge.

There was some lovely writing last night. Tim- "I've just given Cathy's display cabinet a quick buff with me shammy".

Too predictable! Although I am away and haven't watched this week, have I missed something?

The Christmas Elf was Ted Teddington! Ernie the Milkman's mortal enemy.(Well,almost, it was 2-Ton Ted from Teddington.)

Preston's Petals it is, then. I wasn't expecting that twist. Bit of an odd name for a florist in Weatherfield, rather like a florist in (relatively) nearby Preston being called Salford Sprays.

Interflora must have paid a fair whack for the product placement. In reality, there's absolutely no chance that a back-street newly-opened shop would have got a plum franchise like that. Trust me - I work for one.

Didn't Tyrone inherit his house from Jack & Vera? So does he have a mortgage? If not, why all this panic over a £10K debt and why payday loans?

That always confuses me too. I always wonder why Kev is so comfortable and Ty is struggling and why Ty takes Kev barking orders at him and treating him like a bh.

Kevin was out of it for 12months, while the actor Michael Levell was on trial over alleged indecency. During that time, Tyrone got the business in a right pickle with the taxman and others, that's why Kev is in charge.

All right. No need to rub it in! biggrin.

Anyway, I thought that in Soapland all matters of income and expenditure were never addressed. In reality, how the hell would people in Albert Square afford the rents or mortgage payments, on their mundane incomes? At least in Corrie people live in affordable homes, although they seem to spend all their money on the Rovers and kebab shop.

Must settle down later and get comfy for Eva's appearance. Can't wait.
