It's respect for mourning. No point hanging a bit of tinsel on an unhappy home.
Mind you, last time I heard anyone do this was when my grandfather died and that was 10 years ago.

If they really are in Ken and Deirdre's house, Blanche should be the toilet attendant. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Just imagine the face on her if you didn't tip. It would be fantastic.

Maybe Claire does that thing my Mum used to do, keeping the last five years Christmas cards in a box and then hanging them up as a cheap decoration?
Mancunian cheap arse common sense. You can't beat it.

Can Tracy Barlow please stop making hacky faces behind Charlie and Claire's back? It was fun at first but now it's getting silly. Thank you.

I hate posting a reply after myself, but really, why on earth was Claire dressed up as Mrs Overall in tonight's episode?

Tracey's flirting with the lovely Liam make my skin crawl.

David Platt: fucking cunt.
That is all.

I loved the Christmas day episode. I loved the cheery cosy family-ness of it all and how it was torn to bits by David.
I also think it's great that a storyline from 16 years ago has impact on current storylines.
The actor playing David is great as he plays annoying so well. I thought the writing for him sailed a little close to the wind though, being just a little too smart - but it works for the character.

The only thing I don't like about this storyline is how old it makes me feel - I can remember when Gail was planning the abortion. I think it was Sally who told Martin she was having a termination.
I liked the Platt-Webster family dinner, because Corrie does friendships really well. On other soaps people suddenly become best mates as and when the storylines demand, but on Corrie they do seem to have given some thought to who the characters would gravitate towards. Sally and Gail are very believable as mates - even if Gail wasn't locked in a simmering feud with Eileen Grimshaw it makes sense that those two would stick together rather than joining in the Liz-Eileen-Deirdre wine drinking sessions.

I now love David Platt.
Well he's obviously evil, but hilariously so.

See, I'm the opposite. I feel oddly happy about knowing that I saw that storyline happening the first time round and I'm getting to witness the payoff however many years down the line. I remember Gail trying to tell Alma she was going to a catering convention when she was really going to the abortion clinic, and Alma wanted to come too, so Gail had to spill the beans.

Even if it does make me feel my age, I do love the fact that Corrie refers back to past storylines - it gives you the impression that the writers have watched it from time to time, care about the characters and credit the viewers with an attention span.
I read today that a bookies (William Hill, I think) have lost money because they were taking bets on who would kill Charlie Stubbs, not realising it wouldn't be a whodunit. Apparently they've had to give the people who bet on Tracy their winnings, and give everyone else their money back.

Hmmm, surely whodunnit or otherwise, all the people who bet on NotTracy were wrong, and hence shouldn't get their fool money back? Hold on - why am I sympathising with the bookies?

I love this too; I like the fact that they credit the audience with the intelligence to remember who Ivy Tilsley was without some sort of patronising flashback. It shows a great confidence on their part. But I always love it when actors or story lines reappear in soaps. Even though he has long ceased to be a character bearing any resemblance to any existing human being, I still like it when Frank Butcher reappears in Stenders.

Great Corrie tonight even though little happened. I loved Blanche with Deidre in tears "Is everything ok?" and Steve with the chips "it's not like I'm showing you puppies" was hilarious!
And I have to say when Jason came to Sarah with the baby, he looked hot!

Oh no! Rosie Webster's turned sixteen.
She was in the Manchester Evening News today: she's cut her hair and dyed it blonde! No more Rubbish Goth Rosie.
You know what this means...? She'll be on the front cover of Zoo magazine sucking her little finger and draped over Tina O'Brien in three weeks time.

Well the tabloids have already started dropping in a few "sexy" shots of Helen Flanagan in fancy dresses.
I think there's some kind of soapstar perv watch going on at the editor's office. There's probably a calandar up with the date Sophie Webster turns 16 highlighted.
She still looks older than Louisa Lytton though.

Corrie was fab last night. Tracy Barlow is my top soap bitch ever. I love the way this storyline has evolved. Rather than being a plain and simple murder it's turned out to be spething quite different with her manipulation in getting everyone, including the police, to think she's a battered houswife. It really is a mint storyline!

Once again, Blanche comes up trumps. "What have I missed? I fell asleep in the bath"

It really is a mint storyline! Couldn't agree more. The first half of the 8.30pm show tonight was just rivetting viewing. Fabulous drama, great acting (kate Ford primarily), plus a nice bit of comedy thrown in (from Norris and Blanche as per). Utter quality all round.
