To be fair, it's about time Rita had another 'singing/Torch Song' storyline due.

But the Komedy Kabin wouldn't be the same surely?
Also, does anyone know if Norris will ever come out? Maybe he can finally give Sean a proper bumming storyline

I can envision a good comedy-cottaging storyline in which Sean goes out for a quick fumble in the bushes on the Red Rec and he is getting sucked off by a guy, but he can't see him because it's so dark. Then they get raided by the Police with big bright torches and it turns out it's Norris who's down on his knees.

Good god, people!
Norris is asexual, and that's the way it should remain.
I like that Coronation Street has characters that never have sex, or sex lives. There are so many people I meet in reality that I never want to think of as 'sexy'.

strange the director said to David - this will be the first scene you have to play as a heterosexual male - we want you to camp it up to the max .. to the MAX! lines like 'whatever you're into sister!' etc I thought that too. I like how they've given him a makeover this week with a decent haircut and fake tan to make him seem more appropriate for Tracey to be shagging.

I actually felt a bit sorry for David last night!
Which isn't really what's supposed to happen but it's the way that Tracey acted like she was some unattainable goal or something. He was right about the fact that Tracey would be after him if he was older. The SLAAAAG.

Given such an emphatic spurning, I get the feeling that the writers are signalling a pride-reclaiming revenge storyline afoot. On another topic, I am going to have to rant about set/building accuracy again. Where does Violet sleep and how did Ken & Deirdre accommodate their entire family when Peter and Adam came back recently?

Violet shares a room with Sean.
As Tracy shares a room with Amy, Adam has been roomless for a while. I'm guessing Peter slept on the sofa and Adam was in the cuboard under the stairs.

I assumed Adam sleeps under his hair. I would imagine it's very warm.

Violet shares a room with Sean. Eileen's house seems so small, and they have her, Jason, Sean, Violet and Holly living there. Is it just me who finds it slightly strange that Violet is living with her ex's family? Has anyone on Coronation Street commented on that? Then again, I seem to remember Eileen seeming to be more eager to let Violet stay over Jason a while ago. I'm not complaining though, I really like Violet and Eileen. Sean has stayed at Eileen's since Todd was around hasn't he? Sean does seem to have become a substitute gay son for Eileen since Todd pissed off.

Not sure where Adam is supposed to live at the Barlows but I think Blanche has the front room (you never see it, but I'm guessing it's similar to the one at the Websters'). I love Corrie enough to let the logistics slide though _ unlike on EastEnders, where I spend most episodes moaning about how many bedrooms Pat is supposed to have (and why she now cares enough about Kevin to put up with having Carly, Deano, Chelsea, Denise and Libby living there, when a year ago she literally didn't know whether he was alive or dead.)

Methinks that was just a plot device for them to find Poison Ivy's diary and give David more of an excuse for them to turn him into the streets resident bad boy

Why has David got super tanned, a new haircut and highlighted hair? is it in preperation for his "love scenes"?! Theres a picture on Digital Spy that makes him like he is literally sucking Tracey's face off! Urgh
I'd link it but its now replaced with Sonny attempting to suck the face off the barman who won SoapStar

Everything about Corrie tonight is fucking brilliant, even by Corrie standards.

It was a very good couple of episodes, especially if your into bombs, gay sex and defecating. The sex certainly took the focal point of the storyline, I'm just surprised they didn't actually show Sean and Sonny shagging! As for the rest, normally you never see anyone go to the loo in soaps but tonight we had Vernon miss the evacuation of the pub because it appeared he was in the gents having a very long dump. Then the factory owner asked Roy "where are the lavs" as he needed to "go and drop some bombs of his own". Then we saw Steve urinating and finally Jack emerged from a cubicle having obviously just dumped his lunch.

The gay stuff was the least interesting bit by far. I just loved the fact that every other shot was a reaction shot of someone's bemused expression when someone else had said/done something completely ludicrous. You don't really get that in EastEnders, and when you do they make SUCH A BIG DEAL out of it to really wring every last drop of joy out of the comedy.
It was just all the really funny stuff like Roy calling Paul "Liam", and Tracy making seductive faces at David, and David starting to look like Jack Duckworth, and Claire being a counsellor, and Steve being completely, completely fantastic, which he has been since the start of the year and basically pretty much since he got his hands on the pub.

Why are they trying to make us all hate Sean? He's carrying on like a right cunt, as is Sonny. Gays are quite good at nicking fiances on Corrie.
I want to go on a night out with Rita and her mate.

I love the way Steve takes the piss out of Tracy for killing Charlie. On EastEnders, everyone would be tiptoeing around her or shouting the odds at her in the pub, but on Corrie they're all just so blase about it. In fact, I just love Steve full stop. The other week, he was moaning to Sean about the fact his looks had gone, but I never liked him in his pretty boy Fiona-Vicky dating days. The older, balder, paunchier and pastier he gets, the funnier he is and the more I fancy him.

Steve is fit. And has been adorable for as long as I've been watching (ie since I could walk).

If there were an unexploded bomb in EastEnders, it would first have been discovered underneath Arthur's bench when someone was thrown to the floor during a mugging. The evacuation to the community centre would have resulted in violence, because two characters who had previously shagged the same sister would be thrown together, creating "conflict". Once the fight was over, Dot would mention the blitz, and she, Peggy, Big Mo and Pat would all reminisce about rationing/powdered egg/GIs. They would then bemoan the loss of the "community spirit" and "the real East End". It would then be discovered that Ben/one of the Beale children/Billy's Downs baby/Betty the dog had been left in the blast zone, probably with a broken leg, and would be rescued by one of the useless characters, like Gus or Garry. Finally the bomb would go off too early, scattering bits of the Royal Fusiliers all across the Square, and blowing out the windows of every house for dramatic effect, even though they would in reality have all been covered up. And probably killing one character, resulting in Peggy declaring that drinks are on the "arse" for the 18th time this week. Shite, in other words.
The only thing I would change about the episodes would be the exploding gnome. That was just a little bit too self-consciously "comedy". And I hate to be a complete killjoy, but since the war, haven't there been a couple of factories, some maisonettes, and a Mission Hall built on that site, as well as the semis (my recollection might not be completely accurate)? That seems like an awful lot of building work on that site to not turn up a bomb that was about a foot underground...
