Thoughts on today’s Corrie?

What, there was an ep today?! 

I kid, I kid. I liked it! Cute and meaningful Kana scenes, really lovely Johnny-Kate (and Aidan) scenes, Imran standing with Rana. I even liked that bit where Yasmeen showed she was angry with Rana at the cheating part, even if they both know she’ll support her through the other parts of it, ending with telling her to set the bag back.

I will say that they left at a more hopeless place than I expected. I thought it’d be more upbeat, with them being all on an adrenaline high and happy to have at least saved Rana, bittersweet instead of a total downer. I guess it’s because there’s nothing left, before there were always secrets, more chances to reveal them and talk things out, now it’s all out there and nothing left.

if you could write one future storyline for Kate/Rana, what would it be? (whether it’s set next week or months/years in the future)

I’m not really sure, I think I’d take most things (aside from cheating) as long as they were done well and given time. 

I think most people are hoping for a wedding at some point. If there is one, I’d like for it to be a big showy desi one (though I know Corrie doesn’t have the time or budget for that). Let’s see…I don’t really care about kids that much, at least not enough for a baby/adoption storyline to be my one pick, and something cute like Kate and Rana during Ramadan isn’t really much of a storyline…

I think I’d like a reconciliation with her parents or at least mom and a lot of talking about where they’re all coming from, including before when they were always criticizing, and promising to do better, standing up for her against the community.
