She's a naive kid really. Carla really does *know* Peter but Tina's infatuated.

If we were supposed to believe that Peter...Exactly. If we were supposed to believe that Peter could cheat on self-proclaimed ‘love of his life’ Carla with barely-acquainted Tina, it should have at least been written convincingly. But in a span of weeks Tina apparently knew and understood him more than Carla who has been through hell and back with him and his alter-ego: drunk, vicious, and vile Peter. Bit of an insult to Carla that his declaration of love to her after supporting him and "making him a better man" (Peter's vows), could have been so easily swayed by an in-your-face barmaid, who hardly seems to ever work a full shift, I might add.<br /><br />SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250083790819664013.post-17358965656452996492014-02-03T11:03:03.048-04:002014-02-03T11:03:03.048-04:00Thanks~
I know, after all Peter went through to be...Thanks~<br />I know, after all Peter went through to be with Carla, it just doesn't seem to sit well that all of a sudden he'd start chasing after Tina. My only explanation is that his self esteem was at a low point after losing the business and having Carla giving him a job and paying for the wedding and her engagement ring etc. He probably didn't feel like he had any control and I suppose rather than taking to drink like I thought he might, this is the alternative. I still hate it though.

I thought Hayley's send of...Excellent post. :)<br /><br />I thought Hayley's send off was wonderful and I'm not ashamed to admit that I found it difficult to hold back the tears throughout both episodes.<br /><br />I have been very impressed with Carla throughout this storyline. It was heartbreaking when Roy started to panic about the undertaker taking Hayley's body away but I loved the moment Carla reached out to him and reassured him that Hayley will always be in his heart and no one can take that away. I also liked the way that she comforted Fiz and calmed her down.<br />And I like the scene where she gave Beth her job back and Beth said: "Hayley was lucky to have you as a mate", to which Carla replied: "Oh I was the lucky one. We all were, Beth."<br /> <br />It has seemed like Carla has been holding everyone together and putting on a brave face, so when she was crying on her own outside the Rovers, I just wanted someone to comfort her. Although preferably someone other than Peter.<br /><br />The Tina/Peter affair is embarrassing to watch. I'm not looking forward to a few more months of that. There wasn't even a proper build up to it and I can't believe we're supposed to want to watch such contrived nonsense.<br /><br />I have always found Carla and Peter compelling to watch but the way that Tina has been forced into their lives is a joke. I will be glad when the storyline is over.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
