Not that fantastic IMO, I have enjoyed other storylines far more.

Oh really? Well just a matter of opinion I suppose. I thought it was very well written, acted and executed. The way it built up over such a long time and the climax was amazing. I thought the two hander where Richard confessed all was fabulous.

It was good, but looking back on it now it wasnt as good as other storylines such as Alan Bradley and Mad Maya for example. Thats just in my opinion of course. Wink

Liked the final scene tonight with Tracy telling Charlie to hurry up and die.

would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that scene, I could just see Charlie opening his eyes and saying 'no chance' after the director said cut.

for somebody at death's door his heart rate looked rather healthy at 64 beats per minute.

I see the Barlows has extended to even greater tardis proportions for a 2 up 2 down terrace by not only accommodating Ken, Deirdre and Blanche but now Tracey, Amy and Peter

oh yes and Adam Wink

I don't the plea of self-defence will work because next week
Tracey gets charged with murder

You're making the mistake the press like to make there!

Charged and Convicted are two different things - we've got the trial to get through yet, though as I said before, I'd have preferred it for Charlie to have been the one on trial (especially as this time, he's innocent!)


Yes fair point.... I unthinkingly copied that spolier from What's On TV verbatim Embarassed

I think Bella the cat may have been a forgotten victim of Richard's homicidal reign of terror Laughing Unless Clurrr sold Bella or something. Bella's dissaperance was never explained, rather like Lloyd's Confused

I know that Craig Charles was sacked (?) by Coro, but has Lloyd's disappearance ever been accounted for? Even Ivy "went off to a convent" Laughing

Craig Charles wasn't sacked, he was suspended for 6 months and is now back filming.

Bet he just appears in the cab office and nobody comments on the fact that they haven't heard sight nor sound of him since June.

He probably knows that Charlie has been murdered by Tracey, Fred is dead, Liz and Steve own the rovers, Bev and Shelly have left, the factory has got new owners for the third time in less than a year, the Peacocks have had another baby, Mat Rasmden has won access rights to Joshua, Violet has lost a baby and Jason has acquired one

it's as if he's never been away Rolling Eyes

Back to the Charlie / Tracey storyline, I think Tracey gets found out because

she put the knife in charlie's left hand and injured her own left hand which is implausable because if he attacted her with a knife in his left hand she would have injured her right hand

I think he's just been on an airport run whenever a scene is set in the cab office

Either that or he's been moonlighting at Lady Cabs in Levenshume in exchange for that women who was mentioned the other week Laughing

Thats because as far as the script is concerned he hasnt been away. He just hasnt appear on screen for several months. It happens to other characters too - look at Betty, we can go weeks without seeing here. Although obviously it has been much longer for Lloyd.

Adam also returned without explanation tonight.

So how many in the Barlows house now?

Jez Founding member
Well as I said they dont have to explain absenses. Sometimes characters dont need to appear just for the sake of it.

The Barlows have 3 bedrooms if you count the downstairs front room which I think Blanche uses.

So where do Peter and Adam sleep when they are in residence ? Bunk beds ?
