I attempted to change Molly's death date to 6th December 2010 but it was changed back to 9th December 2010. Although the character's last appearance was on the 9th December that episode is still set on the night of December 6th 2010 and so surely that should be given as her actual death date, as indicated later in the article? 82.8.28.96 21:37, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't the one who changed it back but how do you know that the events took place specifically on 6th December - was the date stated at all in the programme?--Jtomlin1uk 08:58, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


It did take place on the 6th December, I remember in an episode following shortly after the 50th Anniversary week, there was this board in the street by police appealing for witnesses from the night of the tram crash, and stated that it took place on the night of 6th December 2010. I have just found this link on the Coronation Street website, which includes her name as the 6th December. http://www.itv.com/coronationstreet/characters/mollydobbs/ (CallumFreeman 09:48, May 23, 2011 (UTC))

I changed the date back to the 9th December (as this was the character's last appearance) and the synopsis indicates on said date that Molly dies. In agreement with John here that 6th December isn't specifically mentioned in the episode. However.... I can see both sides for this argument!! Karen2310 10:49, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
It's clear the episodes are set on one night and not over a week as we say on the site, but if you start to examine the days the episodes are supposed to be set on too closely, it'll throw up a whole load of inconsistencies (several Monday episodes describe Friday as "yesterday", even if both days are stated to be Friday and Monday, apparently weekends do not exist in Weatherfield!). Thats principally why the dating system on this site is set up the way it is. I'm certainly open to suggestions to resolve this specific issue though. David 23:31, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
Should this be changed back to the 9th December? NathanJohnson (talk) 19:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
