why is sean suddenly interested in his son two years later when for one episode after Violet had left he was moping about with a face like a wet weekend saying "I miss Dylon." Crying or Very sad


then suddenly completly forgot he existed Confused


he didn't exacty get onto the CPS about father's visitiation rights did he

like all soap babies Dylan has probably regenerated into another child by now so sean won't recognise him anyway

I think Jonathan Harvey has started to go a bit over the top, there were about half a dozen scenes of people singing or dancing the other night. The scene with Deirdre half singing was cringeworthy.

Plus Sean seems to have come back 10 times more annoying than normal. Surely nobody camps it up as much as he does, in real life?

I think Antony Cotton probably comes close.

I agree, Sean seems very OTT since he has come back. He wasnt that annoying before (but annoying enough!)

As Louis Spence said at the Soap Awards: "Antony Cotton-- look at meee!"

I'm also finding this Lloyd/Cheryl storyline utterly boring too - I've started skipping some of the scenes even.

I've been doing that too!

If they had an episode featuring mainly Lloyd/Cheryl and Dev/Sunita I'd only end up with the title sequence and the credits!

Steve/Becky adoption storyline is also a snooze-fest. I've been skipping those too!

Looks like the tram crash storyline might finally be actually happening:

The viaduct at the end of the street, close to the Kabin and Corner Shop, will collapse sending a tram careering off the bridge and onto the cobbles.

I'd love for this to be true, but it seems like this story is as circular as the track it refers to.

I have my doubts about whether that storyline is finally happening - it's been doing the rounds for many, many years now - but the article includes some speech from Phil Collinson about it. Do we think these are real quotes or... erm... "real quotes"?

EDIT: some web trawling reveals that Collinson himself "revealed" the storyline in a This Morning interview earlier today. So, I assume it is actually happening. But let's not forget that the exact same incident happened in the exact same place in the late 1960s.

He revealed it on This Morning - moments after saying how he didn't like plots to be revealed and would be planting numerous fake stories in the run up to the shows 50th.

Also confirmed no ex-characters will return for the 50th anniversary. (Anyone who can get ITV Player to work who may be interested - he was on This Morning around midday).

TODAY
I watched the 'This Morning' interview with Collinson and he did confirm this storyline would be happening as part of the 50th anniversary

This Morning isn't put on to ITV Player but the interview is available at http://www.itv.com/lifestyle/thismorning/showbiz/philcollinson/.
