Good to see Ryuuun was reduced to just stropping upstairs tonight. Gails tumble down the stairs was a bit odd. The walls shook too, anyone notice that?! Surprised

Its slowly getting back on form it seems, with a variety of characters/storylines in the mix each episode rather than focusing on one or two.

ITV seem to like not killing Gail off on the night of BBC telethons - didn't the whole Richard Hillman thing happen on Comic Relief night a few years back.

I noticed two black marks on the wall behind her as she fell which could have been scuff marks from a previous take Confused

funny how they didn't re-locate the staircase just to get a better shot this time

The Gail/David stuff was excellent and Jack P Shephard and Helen Worth both put in good performances.

The stuff in the factory with Wiki getting the sack and then Kelly confessing was also more interesting than the usual factory scenes.

Also I liked Tony's calm reaction to Carla's confession about her kiss with Liam, and then as soon as she left the room he saw red. I think he could be Corrie's next major villan following on from Maya, Charlie, David etc.

You really should go to SpecSavers!

The scuff marks appeared AS her heels hit the wall. They were not there until then. I thought it was a nice touch of realism.

If there were multiple takes then they obviously painted them out between each one.

I'm sure I heard the music used on Echo Beach in the background on one of the factory scenes. The Gail and David scenes were excellent. The only thing that ruined it was the scenes in the back room with the Connors. The Tony character was excellent, acting kind to Carla and then smashing the glass when she was gone.

I'm sure I saw scuff marks on the wall before she fell as well.

It was a classic fall though, she basically rolled back on herself lol.

Just saw Harry Hill, and the clip - I swear I saw them before she fell.

I rewound and watched it a couple of times last night (mainly because I've imagined her being pushed down the stairs many times). I'll get some caps from Monday's repeat just to prove you both wrong. However, if I'm wrong the glasses are on me!

As an aside, because of Harry Hill, I just can't accept Tony Gordon as anything but a comedy villain Laughing

EDIT: I should mention that the actor Gray O'Brien's left eye is not really that big - before I get sued!

I'm quite willing to be proven wrong, I'm just sure I saw it.
