BTW if the Platts leave the street, who pays the mortgage? Gail transferred the house to David, and it'll leave only herself and Michael (?), Sarah and Bethany to cover the costs of running the place. None of them has a proper job. Or is he thinking of renting the place to cover mortgage costs, with Gail applying for housing benefit? These things MUST be considered - I can't believe that the writers haven't had sleepless nights over this conundrum. Anyone would think they ignore real life.
Don't fret - they have a day to sort all that detail before leaving

I wouldn't want to be in Craig's shoes when David finds out he stood by and did nothing to help Kylie, if they lived in Emmerdale the ambulance response time would have been seconds.
I can see Craig being intimidated by Macca and Clayton so that he pretends he didn't see anything.I liked the lack of interest by anyone in the street that there'd been an obvious incident of some sort - someone lay dying and only one or two passers-by bothered to watch. Even the ambulance crews parked-up to leave room for the cameras and meaningful long-range shots. No screaming, no sobbing (apart from David, a pretty decent bit of acting), but when he hugged anyone there was no blood left on their clothes.
Lily seemed a bit unconcerned. At least they won't now need my assistance with the logistics of moving across the Atlantic.

Well that was possibly the naffest episode of Corrie I've ever seen, not impressed...
It was all a bit Emmerdale-ish. It seemed like Paula Lane had given the writers notice about 3 months ago, and they'd kept leaving it on the back burner until a couple of days before the "murder", and then hastily concocted some sort of scenario that enabled her to quit. Not properly thought out, really. I felt kind of sorry for the actors, being landed with that script and screenplay- they probably did the best they could.(I've scrapped my software programme for the transatlantic house move. Clearly it's no longer required. I had spreadsheets and everything all ready.)

Yes, The screenplay was terrible, if someone had really been dying in the street right outside the Rovers front door after being stabbed everybody including the bar staff would have come out in a blind panic to see if they could help. but obviously supping Newton & Ridley's best bitter was more important.
There was just no "atmosphere", people seemed to be strolling around as if they were zombies in slow motion...watch it again.
Roy was useless. Your analogy of zombies is spot-on. It was all a bit odd, very un-Corrie.
Onwards and upwards. I'd like to see Becky turn up for the funeral ("awraht, Stevie?") but I fear the writers will write in some excuse or other (like Katherine Kelly turned them down). The post-death grieving will give Gail a chance to do her impression of a turtle-head, her turn-to these days when she gets some lines.

The GF watches it, so by extension so do I.
We did the tour before it closed and I have seen it now for a good few years, but I commented to her that I thought last night was rubbish. Totally unrealistic and 'plastic' in the acting. Could have easily done much better.
Thought the make up on Kylie was good though haw she got paler in the scenes and then looked properly dead by the end.
Didn't even see her breathing!

Yes, I must admit that was good, I've seen a few dead bodies and she did look dead all right....We did the tour before it closed and I have seen it now for a good few years, but I commented to her that I thought last night was rubbish.

Just saying.
Modern make-up techniques are a real bonus. Years ago they would just have plastered some ketchup over her clothes.
