I wish they would bring in some of Chris`s family he actually one of the most interesting backstories on the show it would be great to see that explored. Although Duncan is clearly just a plot device I would be shocked if he actually makes it a full season. This episode may be one of the first times I was bored watching McSwarek work a case together usually these two are totally my favourite summer romance/angst-fest. I think it was because their not quite back in-sync yet I think Sam is actually holding back on the snark to try and prove hes ``changed``. Plus Robe Guy was such a douche he was basically unwatchable.

I really am loving this Maria/Fiz/Tyrone storyline(I never thought I'd say that about Maria I usually she one of my most hated television characters period). Maria has always been a spoiled brat and this really is just a slightly more deluded step further. I like that we're getting fiesty Fiz back after her playing Mommy doormat for so long. I can't believe its taken this long for them to use Maria as a villian actually its so much more entertaining than her perpetual victim routine. Any storyline where David is the voice of reason is made of gold as far as I'm concerned. Peter sadly is starting to bore or more accurately his relationship with Carla. I've never beleived Carla really loves him. Its not even the writers its Alison King I've never really believed in any of Carla's relationships because I never actaully believed Carla cares about anyone but Carla. I've always felt like for Carla her relationships are just another thing she needs to aquire to make herself feel superior. That said I still hope the whole Chris Gascoyne leaving is just a fake out like with Dennis. I suspect Dennis coming back is due to Bill Roache getting off. I know I'm probably as deluded as Maria at this point but I hope they do the same with Peter.

I think tptb won't let Darryl remain single, He's the fan favourite and a very popular character that means being a romantic lead whether it works characterwise or not.

God I was hoping they would use the whole Tina murder messs to rid us of this harpy once and for all not allow her to reproduce. Watch this is how she's going to weazle her way in the Barlows. I don't get it she done the same 3 stories for 5 years at least(my boyfrined trying to kill me, my faktry going under and I an evil cow who has no friends. Is carla actually that popular in the UK? Cuz I've always gotten the feeling she's love her or hate her at best? TPTB are throwing over Peter a major legacy character and one of the shows best actors and for what? To prop up an already over exposed Black Hole Sue of a character? Not to mention they threw Jane Danson under the bus to get Peter and Carla together in the first place. I may need to take a break from Corrie after this. Alison KIng must have dirt on the producers or something because Corrie is notorious for not letting actors pull the crap that she is obviously pulling.(Frankly backstage bullshit is the only reason I can think of for breaking up Peter and Leanne in the first place, since it made zero sense storywise. ) I'm still hoping its all a fake out and Peter isn't really leaving its just so they can trick us into thinking he's the killer or something. Forgot to add I think Carla may want to have this kid but I don't think it will actually be born. Part of the fallout from this story will be poor Carla losing her baby too.
