Ok I said I was getting a little fed up with the ‘Tony is a murderer’ Coronation Street story line yesterday, but it was a great cliff hanger tonight. Just like Emilia in Othello, Carla is out to expose her husband for the rat he is. We all know what happened in Othello, so a cliff hanger where Carla is put in danger as Tony sends the ‘you lot’ home and locks the factory is one which leaves us wondering and wishing that this was a recording and we could watch the next episode in a few minutes time. Roll on Friday to see what happens.
Is Maria like Hamlet (ITV1, Coronation Street, 2nd February 2009)
The death of a close relative has made her mad. She is desperately trying to find find out if her Brother in Law has killed her husband. Could Maria Connor be the Hamlet of the 2009s? OK it might be pushing the link somewhat but there are connections which can be made. The difference though is that Maria does not stand by mulling all this over. She is really a lady of action running Tony Gordon down in her car, rushing to the Rovers in pink pyjamas and flying into t’factory to try and find out the truth. To make links between this and Shakespeare’s play, makes watching a little more interesting. We all know that the bad one get their come uppence in Coronation Street, just look at the Tracy Barlow story line. It’s how they get caught that we are left wondering about. For me the story seems to be running on and on and I am getting a little bored with it. It was such a good storyline to complete at Chritmas, but we’re now in Feb and I am starting not to care.
I liked the Rosie joke the other day. The l in Elgar standing for “loser”. … only in Corrie.
