Coronation Street spoilers for week commencing 14 July

Do these writers watch programmes such as The Hollow Crown? How can those involved in this kind of literary nonsense claim to be true lovers of theatre and art? Is this stuff mirroring a feckless,dependent underclass or does society mirror it? Either way, by just a short head in front of other soaps of a similar disposition this one is leading the race to the bottom.

I don't understand why Ryan would even try to kiss Sophie, when she came-out as gay Ryan was seeing Sian and they split up because of Sophie!!!

Peter knows he has to keep off the drink, but it is hard to stay so strong when everyone is against your every decision and Carla & Peter both have responsibilities (businesses) on the street, so to move away would be a huge thing, as Simon doesn't like Carla!!, As for Lianne & Nick - moving away with Simon, that could happen, as she has the residency order she calls all the shots!! Would it be so bad if Leanne had Simon, stayed on the street (as all of simon's family are there) Peter & Carla would still be running their businesses, as would Nick for him & Leanne, and Simon could live with his "mum" through the week and br with his Dad at weekends, it's as easy as that but we all know that in real life it doesn't happen like that! - no, people start using the children as bargaining tools or as a BELONGING when they are people and should be treated as people. I wish I had done what Peter is doing now, I didn't -I went through a bad time and couldn't cope I worked full time and had 5 & 7 yr old kids at home, their Dad left and never once came to get the kids/take them out, I tried to keep their lives as unchanged as possible but the thing was I couldn't! I simply could not hold down the type of job I was doing and still be there for my kids, it was awful, I could feel the control of my life slipping away from me and mostly because of the fact that there just weren't enough hours in the day to do all the things that I had to do, work, housework, school packed lunches, arranging EVERY WEEKEND for the kids to stay with their Gran (even though it was his mother - I should have stopped working and just become a stayhome mam, but I had always worked and there were things my kids were used to having and I didn't want to stop working nor did I believe I should of had to as it was their Dad who walked out, it was ME that made sure that she saw her grandchildren NOT her son but me!!) - at the time I was a mess and I knew my kids were better off with their Gran-there is no doubt that she loves them- so I signed the residency order to her - anyway that was 11yrs ago now, it was the worst thing i did, she never once tried to ring me or bring my kids to see me, she had them christened (even though she doesn't go to church nor does their Dad) and never even told me - or any of my family or my friends, I did what I did as I believed it to be the correct decision at the time - HOW WRONG I WAS

Peter needs to keep Simon with him, as long as he stays off the booze, but if Simon is set on blaming Carla for things then they'll just have to deal with it, if he lets Leanne have simon back then he will have a hard fight on his hands, and for a person with an addiction - stressful situations are NOT advised.

Not a day goes by that I don't regret signing that Order, a,d had I known then what I do now I would never have even considered it.

you go sophie i love ya x
