Faye's dad is Joe Duttine, who I've had a crush on since My Night With Reg, so I want him to stick around.

Euf, there's no sign of Corrie getting any better and all the storylines seem to have gone on FOREVER.

Karl is about as sinister as a bathroom tile.

Yeah, I think Karl has always been a bit of a duff character, but he definitely made a better feckless waster than an out-and-out villain.
Also, I don't really get the logic of Sunita blaming Stella for scuppering her chances to get back together with Dev. If she was that bothered about being a family again, wouldn't she just have lied and told Dev that she loved him? On the plus side though, I'm coming round to Gloria. Sue Johnstone was a great signing but I thought at first they were trying a little too hard to make her a 'classic Corrie character', especially as we've already got one blatant attempt at Blanche Hunt 2.0 in Sylvia. But she's really growing on me now.

A couple of this I have noticed/are incredibly irritating 1. The Rovers with no leccy, warm beer and no heating. GO HOME! What contrived plot device means that the entire ensemble cast are singing sea shanties/war songs that only Blanche (God rest her soul) was around to hear first time. Tommy- in no way would you have learned by heart the words to "roll out the barrel".
2. The gangster CID from last night- "we'll be back later" Will you? To interview that comatose suspect? However, I am glad that extras are getting some speaking roles. In days gone by, main cast providing a running commentary of "Is he breathing? Will you have to resuscitate him?" with a dubiously good medical knowledge for somebody who works in a knicker factory struck me as a little odd. At least now we know that Weatherfield General isn't run by a staff of incredibly deft mime acts.
3. The Bistro must be doing a roaring trade. £10.20 for Karl's pint! AND he's a local hero!
4. Natalie Gumade makes a cracking psychopath. I wish she was going to be around a little longer.
5. Tyrone- get another defense counsel. I counted about fifty two objections during Deidre's examination from the prosecution.

Did I imagine it, or are they selling cheese and celery sandwiches in Roy's Rolls? Cheese and celery?

I've never really had strong feelings about Izzy and Gary as a couple either way but I am annoyed that they have been sacrificed at the altar of The Orange One because she is a Producer favourite. Of course Gary had to try cheat on Izzy because there hasn't been enough affair storylines already this year and we can't have viewers think of Tina as callous and selfish as she is for this story going exactly the way everyone saw coming so let's trash Gary and Izzy some more because they're not the nice couple Tina thought she was giving "her" baby up to. Ugh!

If the setup between Sally and Faye's micro-lipped dad had been any more obvious, Sally would have been on all fours on the table in front of him.
Also, Hayley 'going through the same tests as Roy' just to make him feel better? I realise where it's going, but that is utterly ridiculous. And also a terrible waste of NHS resources.

Almost don't want to watch this at the moment, because I know where Hayley's storyline is going to go and I find nearly every scene with her a bit heartbreaking.
I am enjoying the Carla/Hayley dynamic that's emerged from it, though, as well as the Carla/Deidre one too.

God, I hate Michelle. Every time she goes on about Peter knowing nothing about running a knicker factory, I wait for Carla to ask how exactly her own CV qualifies her as an expert in 'the rag trade'. In fact, Peter is currently following Michelle's patented plan for career advancement - getting special treatment by shagging the boss.
