Am I the only one who feels a little bit sorry for Kevin? OK, cocked up big time but it takes two to tango, and Molly is suddenly exalted to sainthood. Given the three sour shrews he has to live with, he's probably better off out of it.
I don't think my Mum ever watched it so never got into it. I've obviously seen bits here and there over the years. Seen it at other peoples houses and read mags...so this week wasn't hard to get the jist of.
Where's Kim Marsh gone? (I was going to say her band name but I can't remember it)
I've watched it from day 1, holidays it is taped, usually 3.5 weeks, sometimes a problem but I won't go if I cannot manage it. Sad really but I have lived it for so long I can't do without it.
I put this in another thread but, will repeat here as well.
I was disappointed with the writers that Kevin landed in the grave on top of Molly's coffin, its been done a few times in the past in soaps and sit-coms.
I would have preferred Tyrone to have picked up the shovel to smack Kevin, but missed and hit Sally. :-)
I agree when you say good acting. I think it's acting at it's best, and probably harder than acting in a film. I've watched since 1960 too although probably not so much in my teenage years. Sometimes, my friends have a whinge if there's a silly story-line or if there's something which just wouldn't happen in real life. I've always thought that they don't "do" weddings very well i.e. the guests never include a whole squad of bride and grooms friends and always include all the old people from the street.
...sorry - forgot to answer your question. No, I on't feel sorry for Kevin. I did wonder what Molly saw in him though - he's not exactly Mr Exciting. I was in tears when Saly gave Tyrone the baby las night - very moving. Maybe Kevin is gong to be the "4th death".
So horseshoes Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford , Meryle Streep, judi Dench,ant the like would struggle in Corrie...??? lol. Whats the wether like on t6he planet where you are???
Can anyone actually remember Molly's dad, Diggory, from his brief appearances in The Street as a baker? Made Fred Elliott look like a shrinking violet.
