Steve The Idiot!

Steve The Idiot.
I rarely watch these kind of shows but recently we were told to try it out. And so on Friday the 16th at approximately 12.13 am i turned on the TV and pressed play on the two episodes of Coronation Street which my mother had taped while i was at work.
The two episodes I saw seemed to revolve around Steve, while he broke up with his long term girlfriend, Michele to have it off with a girl named Becky which he had had an affair with in previous episodes. In the first of the two Steve tried to break him and Michele up by setting her up with someone from her pub band, yet this failed as she remained loyal and shoved the man away. Soon enough Michele found out that this was Steve's plan in the first place to try and break the two of them up through no fault of his own. The second episode saw the pair eventually splitting as she finds out about his affair and takes Ryan and leaves. Steve straight away runs to Becky grasping his chocolates, champagne and flowers which he had just bought and was off to win her heart. Sadly it had already been won by her ex lover. And so Steve is left with nothing.
I must say i was drawn into the story and by the end was very interested to see what would become of Steve. It is obvious to me that Steve seems to be the character the intrigued me most. His lack of faith in his initial relationship is astounding as he seems obsessed with this Becky girl in which he harasses day and night, visiting her while at work and so on. His complete disregard for his family is amazing. How he can just turn his back on all of it in an instant then suddenly run off to his next lover.
Yet he receives his deliverance when he finds that Becky is sleeping with her ex lover Danny.
The last scene shows Ryan, Steve’s son, smacking Steve in the face and telling him to stay away from Michele; truly Steve has lost his way and through his own fault has left himself with nothing.
I enjoyed the two episodes, and although Steve is making extremely wrong decisions he is still quite a funny and likeable character, he just needs a little help at making his decisions. All and all I can officially say I may be hooked on corrie, and every night will now be spent discussing the characters (with my mum) of a show I once loathed.
Cheers Andy. Haha!
