I have to say well done to the cast of Coronation Street, that Live episode was fantastic and well acted by many people. So it looks like Ashley, Molly & Peter, but who will be the fourth?

I think the only thing that really got my attention was some lighting issues such as the overbright blue lights on the police car the obvious studio lighting for the war flashback thingy.

Otherwise very well done and not an Al-Qaeda attack in sight Smile

Did the fireman just say 'guy who was trapped in the bar' (meaning Ashley) or 'car'? I hope the fourth death isn't just some random!


It seems it's Ashley, Molly, Charlotte and Peter - so 4! Shocked by Peter actually, So Rita still hasn't been found - thought she might be rescude this episode.


Charlotte is still alive though? Just a thought, if Barbara Knox is now out of contract, maybe they filmed her death scene with the other recorded eps and didn't need to bring her back for the live?

So no Deirdrie, Gail, Emily, Betty, Michelle, Jim or Liz in the live episode.

Michelle hasn't appeared all week, and Liz hasn't been seen for weeks anyway.

Great stuff tonight - much better than the self indulgent saving the cobbles rubbish we had ten years ago. Just a shame ITV didn't have the sense to put a follow up show on ITV2 tonight - would have made much more sense than the one they had on Monday!

Exactly what I was thinking. ITV seem to have given preference to promoting their website rather than ITV1's sister channels during this week. Even on Monday they promoted the ridiculous fake news bulletin over the live show on ITV2. According to the CA there is a 'web chat' with some of the actors happening right now. It would have been better on the television.

I thought that was a great episode, and it'd be really hard to tell it was a live episode.

I did notice Izzy stand though, I thought I was seeing things until I came on this forum. Perhaps she got over excited and forgot lol

Wasn't Gail in the first scene, telling David to stay put? Or was that yesterday?

Ah might have been.

No, just checked that was Audreh.

they gave her one but she didn't wear it so the fireman has his hand over her head Confused

notice the children are absent as it's passed their bedtimes


Yeah the children are - I thought that children weren't allowed to work after 10 ? ( like BGT) or is younger children a earlier time?


I'm sure it is partly to do with not putting the pressure of a live episode on the shoulders of the child actors and partly to do with realism, kids probably would be sent to bed if something like this happened. The only child that could really appear in this episode is Simon as he is played by a 36 year old dwarf.


Many local education authorities won't license child actors to work after 1630.

We saw a couple of shots of Rita tonight I think, but they may have used an extra.
