All I want is you - U2 and Coronation Street

What a wonderful, wonderful end to the best week of Coronation Street, ever. Anyone else got something in their eye? If anyone's wondering what the song was as Corrie closed tonight, it was U2's All I Want Is You...

Everything else was perfect.; 10 December 2010 21:04

Bye bye Kevin....; 10 December 2010 21:58

And the tram driver lived, i think; 10 December 2010 22:05
Anonymous said...: I don't think they would have an unknown person as the fourth death because the title is 4 funerals and they wouldn't have the corrie residents at an unknown persons funeral. I think peter or possibly sunita but she looked in a stable condition.; 10 December 2010 22:11
piggywig80 said...: I thought the 4 deaths were supposed to be this week though. I reckon it really was the unknown bloke, which kept people on the edge of their seats till the very end; 10 December 2010 22:19
Anonymous said...: Yeah i thought the 4 deaths where supposed to be this week, but they would of called it 4 deaths and a wedding surely, not 4 funerals and a wedding because they wouldn't film a funeral for a charater not known to anyone. But maybe you are right, maybe it is an unknown person to keep us watching.; 10 December 2010 22:29
Tvor said...: Peter will pull through, i'm sure of it. I just can't see them ripping another family member of Ken's away and leaving Simon an orphan. Maybe baby Stape will die? Or maybe that unknown person in the car is a former resident that we might know. I think that's the fourth death, i really do, if Sunita's ok.

And no, i didn't have anything in my eye, i was sobbing buckets at the montage. I know it's usually a hokey type of thing to do but i think in this case, it worked.; 10 December 2010 23:09

Anonymous said...: Have to agree with Annie -- I thought at the time that it was too Hollywood/American and felt a twinge of disappointment. I did enjoy all the episodes, particularly the live episode, but I've been feeling a bit sad, too, that Corro is changing so abruptly, and is no longer the one I fell in love with. I too hope Peter and Leanne become street stalwarts.; 11 December 2010 01:01
maggie muggins said...: The montage & music worked for me too. Reminded me of some of the corny, yet perfectly pitched scenes I liked about Dr. Who when Phil Collinson was still there. That last episode rounded off the week perfectly - the beginnings of grieving, hope for Peter, the end of the Webster marriage and Rita's cracks at Norris. Took some of the edge off an intense day yesterday. But I still cried buckets at the end.; 11 December 2010 01:30

I'm going on vacation and will be devestated if I miss it!!!; 11 December 2010 14:28
Anonymous said...: Don't think it will be Peter as he is in the casting list at Christmas. Maybe Fiz and John's baby will die as the forecasy said his life was only going to get worse or considering all the chaos is it not likely they will find Colin Fishwick's body?; 11 December 2010 16:07
gummygobbler said...: In Ireland It was "Forever Young" by Joan Baez that was played over the montage - I have no idea why it was different but the U2 song would have been a million times more fitting and emotional; 11 December 2010 18:18

would have been more appropriate song.

or "last train to san fernando"

maybe "sally in the alley "; 12 December 2010 19:00
