Double episode written by Carmel Morgan and Damon Rochefort
Violet has decided she wants a home birth. Of course, this is like waving a red rag at a bull as far as Sean's concerned - he wants her reassuringly in hospital with plenty of machines that go beep and a team of highly-trained professionals. You can see his point, but as we've all seen the spoilers anyway, we know it's all a bit of a fuss about nothing. It's doing Violet's blood pressure no good, anyway.
Eileen's blood pressure went through the roof when she woke up to be faced with the ghastly prospect of Becky blowing fag smoke all over her front room and her dressing gown. Becky had a cat-that-got-the-cream face on, and Jason had a "whoops I did it again" face on. When Audrey saw them kissing on the doorstep...
it was only a matter of moments before the news reached Gail. Jason hastily packed for what Gail called a "guilt trip" to Italy to see Sarah, even as Becky was telling everyone who would listen about her dream lover. "There's a sexual attraction between us," she said. "Could be congealed egg," replied Roy, who was more preoccupied with a bad smell coming from the sink. Gail and Eileen almost came to blows over the situation, but Jerry calmed them down, and Eileen was forced to take out her aggression on a hanging basket. Later on, poor Becky got herself all dolled up to meet Jason in the pub, only to learn from Eileen that he'd gone to see Sarah. Poor Becky was forced to put on her brittle "I'm hard, me" mask, but Eileen's no stranger to that one herself, and felt sorry for her.
Ryan fretted to Steve that Michelle would love Alex more than she loves him. Don't know about Michelle, but I already love Alex a lot more than I love Ryan. But Alex failed to turn up when Michelle went to meet him.
Liam and Michelle's parents arrived from Ireland. They obviously dote on their children and grandson (they haven't heard about Alex yet), and they're impressed with Steve - but they don't like Carla one little bit. But we did learn the secret of the Connor siblings' lovely glossy black hair - apparently it's down to Mrs Connor drinking a half of Guinness every day during pregnancy. I feel this isn't a strategy Sean would be keen for Violet to adopt.
Lauren was messing Darryl round again (and I still don't care), and Mel got her shiny new police uniform.
And Rosie ("To Sir with Love," as Sean calls her) is back at t'factory, and putting up with a lot of teasing.

Am I the only one who is totally dis-interested in Violet's pregnancy? I couldnt care less whether she has a home birth, what she names it bla bla. The sooner she and the other boring character Jamie, leave the better IMO. Also where was Franke on Vera's funeral day?
My heart, however, did go out to poor Becky yesterday. This character just gets better and better.
I was almost in tears when Eileen told Becky that Jason had gone, I can't understand why no one likes Becky either, especially Eileen. And I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again, Marcus is a radiographer NOT a midwife.
No Minnie, you're not alone...I couldn't care less either. Violet & Jamie are both really getting on my wick now and I think they're both really mean to poor Sean.
And I can't understand Eileen's attitude to Becky either...where does she get off calling her the local bike??
Eileen was quite sweet to Becky at the end, though. I think Eileen was really angry with Jason, but out of loyalty to him she attacked Becky and then Gail.
so liam leaving who to blame the writers? They have made is character boring. Next week he gets married to maria the dullest character on the show and they having baby has as well. No wonder rob decide to quit the role, personally i dont blame him, if the writers put with becky who can act look at her last night she was brillant, probably liam would had stay.
My heart went out to Becky last night. Nice to see her getting some decent screen time as well. The character just needs a decent storyline no to further the characters development.
I can't say i am that bothered about Violet and Jamie either to be honest. Though i think they both have had the patience of a saint to put up with the intolerable Sean at all. He is the most utterly selfish character Coronation Street has ever seen.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THE MAN WHO PLAYED LIAM CONNORS DAD IN CORRIE IS GAY BYRNE ??????
Eileen vs potted plant round #1. One day Eileen will make good on her fantasy, turn Gail upside down and pile drive her into the cobbles
poor Becky, doesn't Katherine Kelly steal every scene she's in. Becky is easily the most watchable character on Corrie right now, she should have more featured story lines.
I'm sad to see Jamie go but Violet is just a bitch now. I don't like Sean but why is it whenever he takes an interest in the baby Violet flies off the handle. If she didn't want meddling she should've had an anonymous donor. She even acted the bitch when Sean couldn't impregnate her the natural way
