Coronation Street

Yes nice to see Archie.

I heard

I agree about Danny - I cant help liking him and feeling pleased that he has got left everything by Mike- could be because I fancy him though

Looks like the cat is out of the bag for Tracy now - cant be long until Charlie finds out she lied surely?

Well according to Darran Little's book 'The Coronation St Story', which gives the birthdays of all the characters up to 2001, Gail Potter was born on 16th April 1958 . This would mean that Audery was 18 when she had her.

Not that unusal. Both my mum, and my 3 cousins all had their first child at 19. Considering you have girls pregnant at 11 these days, 18 seems quite old!

Well Daran's 1998 book The Women of Coronation Street says her DOB is 18th April 1958,as does Gail's profile on Corrie.net. I wish they would make their minds up! Mind you they also got the date of Pat Phoenix's death wrong in the 40th Anniversary book.

So remember the tabliod headline about Les 'seeing' Richard Hillman in his taxi. How it was going to be a big major storyline!

The moral of the story, don't believe anything about the soaps in the tabloids, it was a quick throw away line at best!

Back to the Hillman card storyline, my money's on Violet as the sender. She looked worried when Rita told her Richard wouldn't even bother buying a greetings card.

Yes, it seems the writers are giving us potential clues as to who it could be. I noticed while Rita and Audrey were talking about it at Mike's funeral, you could see Norris looking concerned in the background.

Hmm - clues, or just red-herrings?

No, I think Norris was just straining to hear the details - it was him that started gossiping about it.

I can't work out why Violet would get at Gail; Sarah yes, but not Gail. Violet's reaction was weird though. Didn't Gail say that the writing was just like Richard's? If so, it would have to be someone who had access to his writing - would Violet have had that? However, there's still some mystery surrounding Violet isn't there? Unless I've missed something, her background is still a bit of a mystery, and at present there's not much happening with her character.

Hmmmmmm

Norris is shooting up my list of suspects - and the dating thing shows him up to be lonely and bored!

I still think Craig is the favourite though!

I tip it to be a former character or maybe, although less likely, a new character in some way connected to Hillman.

I cannot see it being any of the above considered current street residents. They don't have the sort of cruel streak required, apart from Tracy, and many lack a clear motive that would push them to such extreme lengths.

I know this case is literally getting us to name every single cast member - but perhaps it's Matt Ramsden - trying to frame Ashley and get hold of Joshua.
