The fact that so many of us have likely just sat and watched this storyline in its entirety over several hours is testament to how excellent it really was.

The last half hour of this is jaw dropping. Script, acting, character. Wow.

[@danielnesbitt9565]

That part was better than any murder thriller film. You could cut the tension and Gail's fear and shock with a knife. Absolutely superb acting all round.

[@graememurchie111]

I think this story was the best story ever in any soap. Richard Hillman was the best villian I've ever seen in a soap. I was completely hooked on coronation Street with this amazing story. I've never seen a better one than this.

I'm always at a battle of feelings with Richard as I hate him for being evil but can't help but like him when he does nice things for the family lol!! you can see he means well but does it the wrong way, and he always says hilarious and iconic lines lol I think that's why he's one of everyone's fave villians lol

[@kaysmith8992]

It's the flicker of guilt in his eyes over Maxine that adds to his character. I know he regretted making a mess of the plan, but I think he also regretted breaking up a happy young family like the Peacocks deep down, because in his twisted mindset old people were disposable but a happy family was his ideal.

[@sashaking1115]

[@suzobot5350]

I remember when this was on originally. It was like a spoiler alert. RICHARD IS PUTTING HIS GLOVES ON AGAIN!

[@billyrafferty8523]

The thing that ruined Corrie was the fact that they did storylines of killers once every blue moon, nowadays every other day there’s a new killer on the street.. phelan gary Stephen etc

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

[@purplebrit]

Why would anyone want to live in Coronation Street. There must be something in the water. How many serial murderers can live in one street?

[@josephdyson3737]

I’ll put the kettle on, a serious scene that had me bursting out with laughter at the time 😂😂 also when Richard when said “it wasn’t planned or anything” as if it makes Patricia’s murder any better 😂

[@christinefougere]

That intro was really creepy. Richard was the best villain ever

[@amywatson8534]

Unbelievable storyline. I've watched this series 7+ times even though I watched it on TV back when it was current - seeing it knitted together like this is absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much @corrieplatfan

[@PeacockRhino]

Brian Capron might have only been in it for a few years but he's one of the all time acting greats on Corrie

[@ianmeyer2652]

Best ever storyline not just in corrie, in the whole of soap..ever !!! So well written and so well acted.the attention to every single detail !! Wow .

[@stoddard1953]

Just to add: it's amazing how good Brian Capron is at acting. He pulls off the character so well that it almost feels authentic. Brian is exceptional at this role and he's honestly set the standard way too high for soap villains. You can't make a better villain than Richard. Not unless he were to do something even more sinister -- like spread COVID-19 to all the elderly people.

[@Puppy-ew4be]

He was also great as Mr Hopwood in Grange Hill.

[@dylanmcneill6439]

😂😂😂

[@seantre1awny]

Someone said he's excellent at playing a bad actor, almost like the play in the play in Hamlet

[@Gizo02]

‘I liked Maxine, she were fittest neighbour we had’. Lol that made me laugh.

[@stoddard1953]

Corrie has tried many times since this storyline to recreate magic, but never got close. Phelan was a good villain, but it all seemed contrived. As if it was supposed to be Eileen's comeuppance for all the years she tormented Gail. This entire saga felt natural from start to finish. Everything was gold. Even the characters they chose to use for this storyline (Norris, Rita, Emily, Gail, etc) were the perfect choices.

[@kaysmith8992]

They tried to make Phelan too many things - rapist, fraudster, thug, bully, murderer, thief - whereas Richard was a more realistic conman who picked his fights carefully. Also, Richard genuinely loved Gail (or at least the idea of a wife), whereas Phelan loathed Eileen and only used her.

Richard was the ultimate Baddie in Coronation Street Brian Capron is a tremendous Actor Gails Punchline "youre twisted your Norman Bates with a Briefcase was comedy timing Helen Worth stole the scene with that line

[@FullPlaythroughs]

I just can't believe that he didn't get rid of the bracelet at any point during the time he killed Patricia and Gale finding out the truth, that bracelet was a huge red flag and all it needed was one time for Steve McDonald (or Karen) to spot it and comment on where he found it, which is exactly what happened. You'd think Richard would have "accidentally" lost it at some point, especially with the close call he already had with it with Patricia's friend

[@therebel4332]

Id have to33ed it after taking it off Steve at the site.

[@pelss7426]

That's what I always keep thinking as well!

[@melissacollins9563]

Maybe he thought his high standing in the Street would shield him from any doubt: see how he turned Gail against her own mum. If Steve was is in his sights, who knows what he would have done? It could also be an arrogance issue as well, like ‘No one can touch me’.

Hate this Gail is ignoring the facts, she making excuses for Richard, didn't listen to her mother. Ignoring the so called Coincidences. Despite the blood test evidence, she saw adian as only a thug or murder,. Thinking only with her blind feelings. I. Wanna. Say to her, "you would blindly listen to your husband whom you haven't known for so long , and not even for a few minutes listen to your mother, who you have known all your life?!" I would always listen to my mother, no matter what my personal feelings are. She always been there for me, kept me safe and secure, fed, clothed and always fought for me and gave me pushes to think for myself and guided and adviced me . She always respects me and I respect her. I always try to see things outside my point of view.
