Bodice ripper!

That means that 22a is not "Corona."

And I am unsure regarding 12a.

Sea dweller's far from generous about seafarers (6)

_E_ M _ _

It could be "Merman," but it could also be "Seaman." Although the word sea is already given in the clue, so I suppose the latter is less likely.

Why "far from generous"?

Thank in advance!

No, "Bitter" seems fine. I don't have either of the two downwards words that cross its path. And the first "t" makes sense with what I've got of 5d.

Danke f�r Ihre Hilfe. Or something along those lines!

Cheers. Although I did have to fly to an online translator to decipher that one!
