Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

Did it never occur to any of the residents at Stillwater to ask Charles where the money they gave him was going. But never mind, St Ken, came to save them, but after he was elected he dumped the chair onto Norris. What have they done to Jenny, what have they done to Ken? He was always a bit of an intellectual snob but now they have made him more arrogant and less likeable than ever. Will we ever see Charles again or will he just disappear into the woodwork? Is Ken moving back to The Street, wonder if he will move in with Tracey.
And Aadi, I wish when they recast a character they would direct them the same way as they did the original character, this Aadi acts nothing like the old one. Makes me wonder if they got rid, because he was boring, and bought in a more dynamic replacement.

That whole storyline was/is completely ridiculous. Charles was chair of the Residents' Association not the home itself. It wouldn't have been his responsibility to dole out fines for bringing pets in nor for arranging the cleaning as just two examples.What were the management doing through Charles's reign of terror!? Also, the type of person that could afford to live in that home must have some sort of professional background you would think, so surely they wouldn't have just accepted Charles's word for everything. They would have wanted to see the annual accounts to know where their money was going. And as for Ken just nominating his successor without another proper vote, that was just plain stupid as well.

Corrie has had a lot of nonsensical storylines over the years but this one just takes the biscuit.

emma is great, actress naturally funny, great line delivery

Personally I don't mind such characters. Far better than the likes of Tracy Barlow and David Platt.

Jenny showed so much promise to begin with as landlady, but they have turned her into an imbecile something Tracy and David are not. Not that I am a fan of any of those characters. They have done a Gail on Jenny sadly.

Jenny's current character may only be temporary.

Agree with all of this. It would have been better and made more sense if Charles had been the manager and not a resident and had been cooking the books. It still staggers me how Ken can afford Stillwaters. Do people really not have any idea how much these places cost? Norris also. He could never afford it.

Is Claudia helping Ken with the finances? Maybe Freda has money too, she seems to to be more upmarket than she was when she was staying with Emily. Since Norris does not want to be there, I imagine Freda is paying and has dragged Norris kicking and screaming against his will.
Definitely would have made more sense if Charles had been the manager, but then St Ken would not have been able to force an election and overthrow him. As usual Soap's show little understanding of the ways of real life and business and simply write it in a way to suit the plot.

With Gail it was understandable, she wasn't too bad before disappearing to Thailand, and then she came back wearing the "Magic" fisherman's trousers, which seemed to change her personality.

Let's hope you are right.

I want the Gail back that could go seven rounds with poison Ivy and still knock the smile of Eileen's smug face.
