so is Pat in the clear or is there another body in the water? didn't he kill Andy and Vinny and dump both bodies in the water? so he has another one to pull out

He got the two of them up!

See when Liz knocked on the door and Eileen happily ran to open it, thinking it was Pat... Since when does he knock the door? Doesn't he let himself in with a key?? ..and since when doesn't she know where the plunger is?? Quote..."I don't know where Pat keeps it"... (??) She was a single mother for quite a while...with two strapping sons. Surely they have a place for plungers??under the sink perhaps?? Along with all the plastic bags...like any other God fearing Christian family..AND since when does anyone use a plunger on a blocked toilet?? Yuck!!!

I rather enjoyed the Sean/Tyrone 'making house' scenes. Kind of sorry to see Fiz back!

That cement was very watery.

Same. She has done nothing but whinge. But that's what the character is.

So Phelan rolls on, safe for another few weeks. No mention of him in next weeks spoilers, but the David storyline is kicking off so I'll be switching off, couldn't put myself through it!

Its probably plasticiser, to help the concrete to flow better and fill in small voids....essential in foundations..

So many things not right with that construction site scene last night. Where was the driver of the concrete truck? Who was in charge of the pump? did the driver not hear or see him dragging bodies up the steps.

Did he get his phone in the end?

steinbock123

The writing really has gone to the dogs. Pat manages to drag the bodies up to where, it would appear, concrete (which is much too watery to be real) is being poured into shuttering to erect a column. A pretty big column that seems excessively large for a flats development. A column that normally would have steel reinforcement running right down through it. But no – it just looked like a deep tank. When pouring a column like that there would usually be a foreman/supervisor, maybe two operatives working the concrete vibrators (no sign of them), the driver of the mixer (who controls the delivery to the pump), and someone to operate the concrete pump. One man left on site, in the dark, in a storm, to do all this alone is just not believable. It would never happen on a real site. Not even a night watchman knocking about. And then to add cream to the bun, Tim, (who hates Pat Phelan so much that he is willing to sell up and move away so as to avoid living on the same street) then steps into the breach and brings Eileen to the site to save her darling husband. And what luck – they just happen to climb right up the scaffolding to where Pat can be seen, what are the odds? Would you go to all that trouble to rescue your sworn enemy? I know anyone who felt that strongly would not. There’s more – Pat, who is unconscious and half submerged in what must be freezing concrete for at least an hour, has a miraculous recovery and is home in time for cocoa by the fire, in clean clothes and with not a bother on him other than a few grazes on his face. It’s laughable.
If you take a quick look at classic Coronation Street, on during the day on either ITV2,3, or 4 , not sure which, it’s immediately apparent that the characters were much more believable and true to life back then. I don’t know why I still watch, but I suppose it’s just become a habit, and a bad one at that!

It would be completely and totally out of character for Tim to stand by and watch the guy drown even if he was his enemy. That would make Tim no better than Pat's inaction when Michael had a heart attack and it was convenient to let him die.

As for why he was there in the first place, he went out looking for him with Eileen because despite her husband Eileen is a good friend of Tim's.

In an hour of Coronation Street and all that was of interest to me was "where did Phelan get the clean/dry clothes for coming home from hospital"??

kweeveen86

What the hell was the logic in Pat jumping in to retrieve his phone....?!?!

Is it incriminating evidence? No....but even if it was, there is significantly more incriminating evidence just a few feet over in the other foundation pool where he has just disposed of a decaying corpse! (Or two!?!?)

Totally daft

magicray

Hmmm agree about last night being totally unbelievable - is there no security on that site at night ? No CCTV even ?
Surely the ambulance people will have to report it as a workplace accident - health and safety etc

Wonder will the bodies ever be found now ?

Agree thought that it wouldn't be in Tims character to leave anyone to die no matter what, I like Tim think he is a good actor

kweeveen86

Tim saving Pat but seemingly doing it with a heavy heart was exactly what I'd expect from his character. Seemed a logical reaction. One of the few credible things in last night's episode.

Haha. I thought exactly the same!

Hannibal_Smith

I think last night was more about the slow demise of Phelan rather than the specifics of how it played out. I think the bodies will be found and Eileen will be in no doubt about Phelans involvement. She saw him actually in the hole where (I think) one of the bodies was dumped (it was hard to figure out who was going where in the dark). So there will hopefully last night will lead to a huge join the dots story for Eileen.

the irony would be Tim saving Pat ... then a little bit later Tim crossing Pat in some way (big time) and then Pat ending up killing Tim! :eek:

I like the way they got the weather right in last night's Corrie - in places there was snow left still, and the wind storm of emma ... it would have been less convincing if it was all calm and no snow around. And I liked the the gusts howling it added to the drama.

on the subject of CCTV .. maybe they will mention it , but just say the storm broke the CCTV so no footage - but as he was doing all this moving of the bodies didnt he think himself "Christ this place will have CCTV all around it, what am I gonna do now" ... on the other hand, working on the site he would have the keys to the site office and just simply turn off the CCTV. - either way they should explain it.

When something goes wrong with the pour, and they have to re-do it..his phone will be found with the bodies...when this happens is anybodys guess...

Didn’t Richard Hillman bury someone in the foundations of a house?

You're right, they have turned Fizz into such a moan. She is a classic example of how bad writing can ruin a character. Fizz's character showed so much promise at the beginning. I remember a storyline when she worked in the factory with Mike Baldwin in charge. She came up with her own designs and Mike was impressed. There was talk of her going off to study design at one stage and that could have brought a whole new dimension to the Street. Pity they didn't follow that through.
They did the same with Denise Osbourne, she was hailed as the new Elsie Tanner when she started and they ended up turning her into a dreary character.

I quite liked the party scenes, especially Moira slinking out with a nicked bottle and a couple of bags of crisps. I thought her 'You're the one everyone hates' to Tracy was funny, especially when Tracy goes, 'Oh yeah, fair enough' in response.

Not bothered about Kate/Rana, or Chesney's woes.

That was very watery concrete Pat was pouring.

I actually didn't realise till reading here that it was supposed to be concrete. I thought it was the water that was draining and that he'd drown. Not that I know anything about construction though.

Also, glad we're getting some relief from Billé and his gurning face.

Must say the British health system is brilliant,pat seconds from death,on breathing machine and still home in spotlessly clean clothes and Sally's party still going strong. Do the script writers live in the real world,surely he'd be in overnight after an accident like that and a ward full of investigators

Yes, his ex-wife Patrica.

irlirishkev

I was genuinely concerned last night, that we were about to see the end of Pat. I couldn't think of any decent compelling storylines left if he goes now!

Greybottle

If the site foreman sees the scaffolding pole and the roll of plastic in the foundations they'll be ripped down. Or even if they are half done, they will have to come down, they need to be poured in one go.

It was good up till Phelan fell into the foundations, after that it was daft.

how are they gonna retrieve the phone? - it will be covered in concrete and it will no longer work (unless its an old skool Nokia 3310 or whatever, you can drop them down toilet, drive over them , nuke them in a microwave oven and they will still work LOL

)

and if they want to get to the IMEI number to trace it back to him they are going to have to hack away the cement to get to the battery compartment
