    I'm guessing that the Weatherfield Police have never heard of fingerprints...

    I think Yasmeen was so schocked she cleaned the knife and put it away before the police came ....

    Yasmen phoned the Police and said that she had killed someone. That does give them grounds to arrest her.

    Hitting him over the head with the bottle may have been self defence but following up with a stab to the throat probably wasn't.

    When you claim self defence you should do so at the first opportunity. She is not helping herself.

    You might be right, I think there was a knife on the worktop beside Geoff's phone when Yasmeen answered it, but whether it was the same knife, we do not know. But it should be recorded on the phone from the camera.

    Stabbing him with the bottle could be seen as part of the same action. I think you are entitled to continue to defend yourself until your attacker poses no threat to you. When she hit him with the bottle he did not fall over, he turned away then turned back to look at her, surprized but still angry. At this point he was still a threat, perhaps even more so as she had enraged him. He was not running away and was not incapable of attacking her, so I would argue she still within her rights to defend herself. Afterwards she was in a state of shock, but she did mention the knife at the police station but did not explain it further. She was not in a fit state to be interviewed, Imran should have insisted she was seen by a doctor.
    The strangest thing about the incident the way it was filmed was that she hit him hard enough to break the bottle but not hard enough to hard enough to knock him out or even do him much harm. Was it a particularly thin bottle. Again unrealistic drama for dramas sake.

    I really hope that we're not heading down the usual soap path of a rubbish trial, where almost zero evidence of Yasmeen's suffering is presented, followed by a guilty verdict, following which "new" evidence is found after a period of wrongful imprisonment. This story needs to end soon - with Geoff paying for his evilness.

    I really fear we are. Having second thoughts I have a feeling the spy camera, if they even find it, will not be the saving of Yasmeen I earlier thought it would be. We do not know if it records 24/7 or even if it records at all, it may only show a live view when accessed through the app on the phone and keep no pernament record at all. One of the benefits writing the script in a vague way is that they can write future scripts to suit their storyline. I am sure at the end of the day Yasmeen will be saved but I fear that day may well be a long way off.

    It started out as a great storyline about coercive control, where the control was hinted at before it even became a proper storyline, but now Corrie has taken the typical soap route, with violence, wrongful convictions and melodrama. Lots of characters have pieces of the jigsaw regarding Geoff and Yasmeen's relationship and they need to start putting the pieces together.
