Episode written by Lucy Gannon
I'm really beginning to feel sorry for Sean these days. I think Violet is being seriously unreasonable and insensitive about his role with the baby, and he has every right to feel aggrieved. Tonight he told Marcus, re the baby, "I already love him. I didn't know I would, but I do." You have to feel for the lad. He tried to tell Violet how he feels, but she can't understand why he wouldn't be thrilled that Jamie will be bringing the sprog up. She's so loved-up with Jamie that they'll probably be calling the child Viomie at this rate. When a rational discussion turned into a heated row, Sean ended up telling Violet that he'll be seeing a solicitor: "We'll bring in the lawyers and judges and we'll get it sorted - he's my son!" he said.
People with no need of lawyers and judges, as a divorce is now longer on the cards, are Ashley and Claire. It was very amusing when, during a touching family scene in which Ashley was saying, "Claire and Ash, where they belong - back together!" Our Joshua could clearly be heard shouting "DIE! DIE" I wonder if Our Joshua will turn into the next David Platt?
Poor Kevin came in for a bit of teasing about Claire kissing him - she told Steve, Lloyd and Sally about it. Sally was very amused, and as "punishment" Kevin ended up babysitting Our Joshua and Baby Freddie while Ashley and Claire had a night out and Sally had a bottle of wine with Gail. And Ashley gave Claire a necklace engraved "Forever," which in soap world is surely asking for trouble.
Trouble was brewing in t'Rovers, as the pressures of the extended McDonald/Connor/Tomlin family all living together was taking its toll. Steve was forced to use the pub facilities for his morning ablutions, muttering "I hope Vernon's lying dead in the bath!" as he went. Dev had a plan to cheer Steve up - golf.
Miss Rosie's roots are showing, but she covered up her parting by means of a hairstyle that resembled an igloo of hair. This was to go on a date with Mr Stape.
Affairs of the heart were on Doreen and Rita's minds. Rita admitted that she thinks the world of Norris, but "any woman who gets involved with him wants her head feeling." She also warned Norris that Doreen is "reeling him in," and will break his heart.
So... Will Doreen break Norris's heart? Will Ashley and Claire be together "forever"? And will Violet's child turn out to be as miserable as his mother or will he inherit some of Sean's joie de vivre? Find out in the fullness of time on Corrieblog!

Totally agree with your comments about Violet - I could slap her stupid selfish face. And seriously, are there men out there as stupid as John Stape? Talk about being guided by his anatomy!! And what a slapper Rawsie is turning into!!
It is Sean who is the selfish one. He quite clearly said at the beginning his role would only be that of a 'donor'. I know feelings change, but the baby is barely a bump at the moment. I can even understand the angst, but he should not pursue any parental rights. He even made hints about him and Marcus bringing up the baby.
It makes Sean an awful character in my opinion.
I am fed up with Clurr and Ashley and couldnt give a fig if they get back together or not. I wish they would move away to Clithero or somewhere.
I agree with Coda, Sean agreed to be the donor there were clear lines and he's crossed them all. Violet has every reason to be annoyed he found out the sex of the baby behind her back and how did Jason find out - he's told everyone! I like Sean but he's whingeing - I like Violet and I think it's great her and Jamie are together again. They belng together lets forget the little Frankie thing hey :)
Sean wants to be a father, its his flesh and blood, so why cant he play an important role in the babys life
From one Tara to another, I too could care less about Clurr and Ashley, bland, bland, bland. I feel Ashleys character just doesn't work anymore since Fred died, I say I feel the character just doesn't work anymore. I never want to see Clurr dance again either
I don't reside in the UK, but I'll assume telling someone to move to Clithero is not an obscene euphemism. Or is it?
