The ending on Monday was stupid. As others have said, there was no indication that Jason was having second thoughts - and why go through the window when he could've walked straight out of the front door - everyone was in the marriage room. From the spoilers / Radio Times it appears (look away now if you don't want to read this!) that Jayboy comes back and spends several episodes creating various unrealistic stunts pleading with her to take him back. Again.

If they do get back with each other then this whole wedding plot has just been a cheap trick to grab viewers while ITV1 dies on it's arse. And Corrie will go down with it with daft stunts like that.

Keep Jason and Sarah apart - move the character's on.

I think the connecting scenes are a bit odd with Charlie and maria as they were meant to have spent the night in the honeymoon suite yet were acting as thought they were only just getting together?

I like the way Bethany's missing teeth keep switching sides (to coincide with them switching twins.

And how many toilet cubicles have windows with net curtins that are big enough to get out off? Confused

Well why use twins in the first place?

I don't suppose they can work an individual child of that age for too long Confused:

There are strict guidelines about using children up to a certain age in television productions, due to the long, long hours involved.

Twins are commonly used so that the hours and workload are effectively halved.

I don't know why, but the phrase "baby peacock" just made me burst out laughing.

Thank you!

apparently he's going to be called
Not sure if that really is a spoiler but I've stuck it in there just in case.

Some funny lines in tonight's episode I thought, loved Shaun's, "she goes after men like Anne Diamond goes at a smorgasbord", and the "hiya" magazine in the salon is a nice touch Laughing

Also good to see Liz, Violet and Shaun behind the bar, there's lots of potential in this combination I think - but why did they need 4 people (including the new one) serving at one time?!

I'm not looking forward to these gangster brothers - have they not seen the mess EE got into with over-reliance on gangster plots?

I agree, I think Liz, Violet and Shaun work well together behind the bar, and Michelle seems like a great addition to the show. I liked that scene where she was slagging off Jayboy only for Eileen to be right behind her and overhearing it all. It was good of her to run after her to say sorry.

Im quite looking forward to the new characters. Although I hope they wont go to OTT with the gangster type plots.

This weeks episodes have been excellent, from the non wedding to Charlie/Maria. It was also nice to see Tracy back in Friday's episode, hard to feel any sympathy for her though. I also liked the scene with Audrey/Gail arguing with Eileen in the street - Audrey really let her have it but Gail stayed quite quiet for once Shocked The best scene of the week though was Audrey and Gail's chat in the cafe when Audrey said Gail had turned into Ivy - never a truer word spoken!

Agreed, and also loved the line about Anne Diamond and the smorgasbord. Inspired!
