Alison King was on top form as a bereaved woman who never got to be with her true love, and Tony has really scuppered his ship.
on a continuity note how blind is an entire film crew not to notice the door to Rita's flat ajar in the scene with Pam and Tyrone. very shoddy for nobdy to notice

How is that a continuity error? It would only be an issue if the door went from being closed to open to closed throughout the scene. Rita may have just popped in for a moment
You seem to be concentrating too much on finding these so called errors

First of all apologies for this being a bit late and also perhaps repeating what may have already been suggested.
The great 'howdunnit' of Liam's sad demise last week was no doubt excellent telly, but the method of death broadcast was surely chosen well in advance - it was the obvious choice, too obvious to allow the mystery take off the ground.
a) we knew Liam would die on a stag night - paintballing takes place during the day; the flats option was also shot in the daylight
b) the scene was by far the most complex, involving a new, specially constructed night set and a very dangerous, co-ordinated stunt.
Having gone to all that trouble and expense, it was nailed on to be the scene selected 'at the last minute by those up at the top' wasn't it?

I'm just observant,
it just seemed odd to see the door ajar as it was not connected to any storyline, like she'd had a break in or something
you are right it wasn't really contunuity, just a bad set up of the scene really

Sometimes they only film one ending, as filming two or three is too expensive and just tell the press that they have filmed numerous endings.

I totally agree - Alison King has been outstanding during the last few weeks. I hope she wins an award.
Or just take photos and give them to the press - several tv mags had the photo of Liam lying on the cobbles after being pushed, which was in daylight as has already been mentioned!

To be fair it wasn't hard to spot.

You can watch all the alternative endings on the Coronation Street - Liam Murder Special website.
Yes, Coronation Street is moving from the Quay Street set to somewhere just on the outskirts of Salford as the show is due to go HD and the current set isn't HD ready.
ITV didn't decide to show the episode until Wednesday when certain newspapers had the story of Liam being pushed off the balcony from the flats. The other ending, where Liam got shot on the paintballing trip was shelved as ITV thought it was too 'violent' for prime-time viewing. The hit-and-run scenes, filmed on a parking lot at the back of Quay Street was specially built for the scene, and AFAIK the set is still standing today as it will be used in the future for the Maria storyline where she goes out to see if she can find out who killed Liam.
There are a number of one-hour 'specials' due for broadcast on the run-up to Christmas, and a huge Christmas storyline (which will beat EastEnders hands-down.
From November 15th there will be previews of the run-up to Christmas on the Coronation Street website.
