I struggle to take to Michelle, i am unsure if its anything to do with the actress or if its simply the character but she is just so miserable that i don't enjoy her. That said, there is little to nothing to enjoy about the show for a long time now. The Tina and Sylvie scenes were lovely, i thought they were superb and i enjoyed seeing Linda back. But everything else is a struggle.

 

Surely the cast must be scratching their heads with the storylines at the moment and hoping that a new executive producer steps in soon.

Did anyone notice the random crew member wearing a beanie but with a head torch during the crash?

 

 

That was very sad to see with Sylvie's death.

Poor Sylv :(

Poor Sylvie, I really felt for her.

Please get rid of Preston. Very wooden actor.

What an episode!!!

 

Sylvie :cry: I had a feeling that was coming after the scene when the extension lead was taken out, it felt too important to have been random. It was a really lovely couple of episodes of Sylvie and Tina, so gutted at that ending :(

That was a sad ending for Sylvie :(

Hated the character but her acting was super

Both Luisa and Linda were superb, it was quite close to when that firefighter's wife in Corrie died though, she had Alzheimer's and put the toaster in the sink to "wash" it. A great episode though, as I said above Luisa has been brilliant recently given a chance to shine with this and it's so much more impactful and shocking than Slyvie slipping away slowly as she gets worse, especially as it was supposed to be a nice final night before she got put in a home, that made me tear up a bit :(

Even though it was utterly heartbreaking, I think the fact Sylvie died as her party girl self from the 60s, in a peak of happiness, was as 'nice' an ending as it could have been. She'd likely have died suddenly as a result of the electrocution too. I think that'll be of great comfort to Tina when she comes to terms with what happened: she didn't want Sylvie to go into a home, and she didn't.

 

I adored the scene with Tina brushing Sylvie's hair (The Royle Family vibes) where Sylvie said "I love you, mum" and, when Tina told her she's not her mum, she responded "I don't care, I still love ya". It was such a heartwarming moment and it'll be another comfort to Tina to know that Sylvie died, not exactly knowing who she was, but knowing that she appreciated the care Tina had given her. Juxtapose that with the howls from Tina when she found Sylvie in the bath - that really struck me, it was quite uncomfortable to watch and listen to. I'm really happy it received the duff duff because it has been the one shining storyline, treated with respect, truth and heart, post-January and I hope the aftermath is given the same consideration (although I don't hold my breath).

I was in tears as I knew what was going to happen when she put the radio on the bath and the lead running to the bathroom, it was so traumatic.

 

Shirley is probably due back from the blocks, on the back of Sylvie's death.

Oh yay Michelle 2.0 is still in it. Sorry she becomes across the most dull, manipulative, nasty character for quite a while. The whole Michelle/Preston was boring.

I actually squealed a little when Sharon appeared at the start of the episode. Loving the 2001 style hair and fuck yeah at her kicking Preston's arse back to America!

 

Well...I'll miss Preston's face.

It was actually like 2001 Sharon stepped out the taxi :lol: Loved it!

If anyone can sort out all the shite going on it's Sharon *.*

 

Screaming at Johnny though "I cared I sat and spoke to her once and found a photo for her!!!1!!!" :manson:

 

 

Oh also I rarely "ship" characters but I am SO here for Denise and Kush, idk why but I love them as a pairing!

Seeing Kush almost naked was lovely.

 

Kush: "Mum I'm naked!"

Carmel: "I've seen it all before!!"

 

What kind of f***ing mother says that to her grown ass son?! :manson: :manson:

Finally some new characters announced :o

Christopher Timothy and Maggie Steed joining as Ted and Joyce Murray.

 

Can't say I'm too excited by their description :lol:

Omg Mac from Doctors. I know the name maggie Steed but glancing on Wiki I haven't actually seen her in anything.

 

They don't sound that interesting though, I agree. They seem like Pam and Les types who'll be axed in less than 2 years.
