Pity we didn't see more of Geoff and Yasmeen's storyline but I think it's continuing soon.
Does Max know that Shona's son killed his mother? If not, he's going to be even angrier when he finds out. I sort of feel sorry for him - he lost both his parents to violent deaths when he was still quite young and now his father figure is in prison and Gail has swanned off to Thailand.
Max knows, he say it to Shona also

I was wondering why Tyrone and Brian didn't at least try to climb out the window...

The girls were working and sleeping at her nail bar so even if Nikolai made all the big decisions she was still knowingly involved in it all. I thought they would keep her in for a lot longer. And after last night there's a lot more to charge her with anyway.
I'm trying to have sympathy for Robert but he's so bland and has created this situation for himself anyway by not being honest with Michelle. (And why do Jed and Vicky keep talking about "going back to Ireland"? Surely they'd refer to the town or area they were from?) The whole ring situation is ridiculous and could have been avoided so easily.
The situation about Hope's school place is annoying me too. If she has to go to a different school at least it will take her outside the Street "bubble" for a change. It's like when the factory lot complained about having to commute to a different factory somewhere else - shock, horror!
We never really saw what happened after the police raid .. another wishy washy storyline so Rachel might have got away with saying she was only manager of nailbar and did not know anything .. police might not have had enough evidence to keep her ... I mean, we are talking soapland ..

Did anyone notice that Kirk, Beth and Craig were walking down the street while Tyrone was calling out her name and they didn't help or even ask what was wrong? They've all known Tyrone for years and Beth works with Fiz at the factory. Even if they've fallen out, it was still a missing child.
First the roof collapses at the factory and now it's gone on fire. Realistically it should never open again as goodness knows what will happen when the staff are back in there.

Hope is the devil child. Evil.
I can't understand why Fiz brought her home when she's still acting up, unless she's got better at disguising it. And why would she set fire to the factory anyway? Surely even a child would know it would be dangerous, especially someone like Hope. If it's just for attention they need to send her back to Birmingham straight away.

I had forgotten how bad an actor she is, she seems to have become more of a nag than she was before she left.
Very sad but I did like how they dedicated the second episode to that storyline alone and gave it the attention it deserved, rather than mixing it in with other storylines which would have lessened the impact.

Yes, the problem with this storyline as it is at the moment is that going cold turkey on diazepam is extremely dangerous as we have seen with Ali's fit. It is likely to get worse. He needs to have a monitored programme of withdrawal. Of course, we don't know how this is going to play out, but if Ali beats his addiction by going cold turkey, it will send out a very dangerous message to people similarly addicted.
Was that Kate's last episode? We didn't actually see her leave. Usually there's a big send off when a character's been in it for a few years.

Sinead's sickness is because of the chemo. She may feel better without it, although have less time left. A case of quality or quantity.

Beth is far more bearable recently as she does her best to stay strong and support Sinead. Their scenes last night were very moving.
I liked how Roy was trying to support Shona - he just has this lovely, fatherly way with troubled younger women without ever being sentimental. His comments about Mary were interesting - I had never thought of her like that, but yes, she does seem determined to enjoy every moment of the day.

Evelyn and Roy make the perfect couple.
Powerful performances by Daniel and Peter, Corrie does abuse storylines really well.
Did Hope's tutor leave her job in Birmingham and come all the way up to Weatherfield to teach just one child? Can you actually get live-in special needs tutors or is this something Corrie have made up? Evelyn was funny though, with her "fronted adverbials". I had no idea what they were either - why not just say "adverbs"?
The abuse storyline is getting more complex than I originally thought it would be. It looks like Paul thought he was in a consensual relationship but has just realised that he was manipulated into it by an adult, which creates a very grey area in moral, if not legal, terms, sort of like Maya and Jacob in Emmerdale.

I think Leanne can relate over her experience with Simon not being his birth mother and his bad behaviour and maybe Leanne feels guilty for keeping Nick's secret of stealing from Audrey pinning it all on David, both are with Gail's boys so have that in common also, Leanne has the timing down to perfection catching them arguing :p

Is she paying her? Perhaps it is just being done as a favour? Did they actually discuss payment? Sometimes I think we are not meant to ask such questions, just accept these situations because it suits the storyline.
There's something not quite right about the whole situation or indeed about Jade herself. I was wondering if it will turn into The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, with Jade trying to replace Fiz as Hope's "mother" or even trying to steal Tyrone off her.. Evelyn seems to have softened towards her after their little chat but I'm hoping she will keep an eye on her.

Regarding the story with Asha and Dev at the moment:
I live in Thailand, where there are adverts for skin whitening cream to be seen constantly.
Due to repressive Thai defamation laws, it’s very difficult to publicly say how dangerous this skin-whitening cream is.
The consumer protection groups are more than useless if compared to those in the UK.
On the few occasions there have been success with prosecuting these companies, it’s usually bleach that’s shown to be a major ingredient.
It’s sad that the darker-skinned Thais desperately want to have light skin, therefore they want to believe this rubbish cream will work.
Some of it’s down to soap-operas where all the characters are normally light-skinned.
There’s also a ‘snob issue’ involved, where the lighter-skinned Thais living in Bangkok tend to look down on the darker-skinned Thais up-country.
Most of the light-skinned people in Bangkok tend to live and work in an air-conditioned environment, where they hardly ever spend time outside in the sun.

A very moving episode. I loved the montage of everyone reacting to Daniel and Sinead's sad news and Ken's thoughtful monologue. It's realistic that he would feel guilty about living to 80 while Sinead is going to die so young. Thankfully Gemma just had a silent cameo, placing Chesney's hand over the new lives she's going to bring into the world (maybe four little friends for Bertie?), and it was far more effective than showing her being emotional and screechy as usual.

I knew it wouldn't be long before Geoff would get fed up working for Yasmeen and try to get a bit more power as a part owner. He really wants to be involved in every aspect of her life. The only problem is that this storyline has been shelved for so long it's lost momentum, like so many other storylines.

That annoyed me too. Marion mentioned that she wanted to keep things informal, but when you're having a serious discussion about a child's welfare surely you would want to be in a proper office, not a pub?
The whole episode was a bit odd, with the mixture of gritty drama and the Barlow's fake Christmas. I think the director was aiming at a more film-like appearance for the prison scenes but it just looked like existing footage of a prison drama/film rather than an episode of Corrie.

More drama for dramas sake. - I sometimes long for the days when Minnie Caldwell's cat, Bobby, staying out all night was as dramatic as it got.
It felt like a very long episode but the performances were great and it was nice to see Beth in a more subdued mode. I just wish they hadn't gone through with that kiss with Bethany which just created an unnecessary rift between Daniel and Sinead at the worst possible time.
Also, seeing Sinead with her mum and gran just made me wonder why they hadn't been brought into it earlier. She hasn't had that many scenes with Craig either so it was nice to see them reminisce about things that happened when they were little.
I also liked the Barlow's discussion about characters who died in the past, like Hayley and Deirdre, and whether it's easier for a loved one to die quickly or if it's better to be able to say goodbye - no easy answers there.

I'm sorry but am I the only one that thinks that they should do something with Gail's hair. It is too thick for her face. I think she would suit a short bob so that you can see her face.
I think a shorter style would make her look older. She looks fine.
It was nice to see Fiz comforting Chesney at the start of the first episode last night. Thankfully the writers have remembered that Fiz practically brought him up and that they've always been close - it's one thing that's been more or less consistent over the years.
I've no idea why Liz would want to bring Tracy on holidays with her.. Plus, she's just been to Venice.

I wonder if Kate Ford needs time off so the magic trip to Spain to see Andy is used .... in the storyline I think Liz sees Tracy not coping well with Sinead's death .. which to me is rather unconvincing as I think Tracy is far too selfish to have much empathy with anyone or anything ...

Why would you even want to go off to Llandudno for the day when you're heavily pregnant with four babies and you've already had a couple of false alarms?
I agree about Fiz spending more time with her mother - she's only just got back from Birmingham and Hope needs her so why is she heading off again? (Was this when the actress filmed Supermarket Sweep?..)
For a moment I thought Jade might have made the phone call just to get her out of the way...

"The Gemma show" wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. The best bit about tonights tedious CS was Evelyn finding out about Ty and Gemma.
I don't know how Gemma can be up and about after having four children, even if three of them were by cesarean.
"I don't know how Gemma can be up and about after having four children, even if three of them were by cesarean."
Spot on. As usual, they've no intention of paying attention to detail! I'm sure that even if Gemma hadn't picked it up from ante-natal classes, the nurse would have explained that breast milk doesn't tend to come in for 3-5 days - rather than letting her stress about it on what seemed to be the day after.

I have seen plenty of comments from ladies that have had their babies via C Section and were up and about 10 minutes later..,. others were still bedridden a week later .. guess we are all different andd Gemma is one of those that recover very quickly :)

It was a bit annoying that Cathy let slip why they were playing Scrabble in the first place - she always seemed fairly intelligent before yet in last night's episode she was essentially blurted out that they were here for Roy and not for the game. And Roy just happened to be on his laptop in the cafe rather than his flat, just so his friends could shout through the letterbox at him..
I don't like what they're doing to Gary - he was a bit of a thug when he came into it first but he seemed to have settled down for a while, now he's the local gangster with a sideline in antique dealing.

The worst thing about it is that Shona is the mother of the thug who killed the first "love of his life"...
Geoff is completely different from when he started on Corrie, when he was fairly easy going and friendly, now he comes across as paranoid and defensive, constantly accusing Yasmeen of not listening, not caring etc... And surely Yasmeen could have checked the correct time of the flight easily enough, rather than allowing Geoff to let her think she was getting forgetful?

This storyline is going on for quite a bit yet so they will come back, whether married or not remains to be seen .. maybe Geoff will claim they are married and that Yasmeen has forgotten it already???? I guess Gizmo loves her mum, regardless and with the 4 babies now she is probably glad she has some help even if Bernie is proving to be a nightmare scamming all the time. Would be easy if all folk in soapland would just be honest and tell family and friends what is going on then there would be no blackmail .. but also no drama.. :D
What bothered me was that there were already enough strong storylines going on (Robert's crash, Roy and Carla's visit to his brother etc) without cramming the Bernie/Gemma/quads rubbish into the episode as well. Recent episodes feel more crowded than usual, which is something I haven't noticed for a while.
Also, who was running the cafe after Roy stormed out? Shona's on her honeymoon and Yasmeen was pre-occupied with Geoff and (apparently) heading off to Las Vegas.

Hard to feel sorry for Michelle who I generally loathe anyway or Robert.
Reasons being, Ray is a creep of the highest (or should that be lowest?) order, however Michelle did take a sizeable amount of hush money with the full understanding what it was for. Two minutes later she's blabbing and is then surprised when there is consequences.
As for Robert, talking on a mobile phone while driving is one of the most careless and downright stupid things to do.
need more of roy and his new family, carla sees roy as family too, telling the goth how good roy is, well said carla and all true
Here's a crazy thought, on the subject of Gemma's ridiculous and waste of a character mother. Instead of fretting about a £500 bar bill, why didn't they return what she'd stolen - it was all in the fridge and the holdall? Just thinking aloud.

I don't think the actor can have any credibility in himself anymore as this is just a farcical role he is playing requiring no acting skills, just having a gormless look in the background. Maybe he is not capable of anything better. The younger actors have more believable roles, except Gemma.

She seemed to be getting a bit above herself when speaking to Vicky, she is not all that much, I seem to recall she was a humble barmaid when we first met her. - You could say Michelle is now 'A Career Woman', she is making a career out of making financial gains from broken relationships.

Contrast to Emmerdale where Paddy and Chastity talk to their daughter as if she is still alive.

They seem to be the ONLY cases that Adam and Imran take on.
As ever, Adam's taking on a case with family connections: Vicky is the mother of the thug who bullied his cousin Simon and got his other cousin Amy pregnant. Michelle is best friends with his brother's partner, Carla, and employer/colleague of his uncle (?) Daniel. Robert used to be married to his aunt, Tracy... The list goes on. All the Corrie Connections get a bit confusing sometimes. It's probably easier to list who he isn't linked to in some way...

It's a pity they had that fling as the motherly role suits her better in Daniels' case, especially now.

Yes, good to see Bernie and Gemma in a more low key mode; good acting all round.
I think we're supposed to care about Michael and his custody battle but it just doesn't interest me so far. The problem is that they're a fairly new family who have been "shelved" for weeks at a time and Michael and Grace's relationship took place off screen so the viewers have no history with them.
I'm uneasy with Paul and Billy getting back together at such a difficult time; there's always the risk that Billy sees him as a project and not a partner. Surely there will be (or have been) questions asked in his church and among his superiors about how he's living with a volatile ex prisoner?

I too liked Gemma and Bernie working together and how supportive they were to Paul.
I am one of the rare folk that likes the Baileys .. I find Michael very funny which is a relief at times with the other heavy storylines. I think viewers will start to take to him and his family more once his relationship with Grace develops and we find out a bit more about their past relationship and hopefully we will see more of him and Tianna having a relationship.
I have no idea about how much vicars have to run past the church about relationships and who they can live with or not .. Billy is in his rented flat now, I think, not church accommodation so maybe the church cannot object to who he is sharing with???? And of course, the Christian attitude should be to believe in Paul having turned over a new leaf and support him ... not sure if the Human Rights Act would also be supportive of Billy and Paul living together''''
In general, I like the Baileys too but like so many other storylines and characters they seem to be dipping in and out. It would be good to find out more about Michael and Grace; at the moment their storyline seems to have come out of nowhere.
I think Billy's church would want to support Paul in theory but there's also other factors, such as Paul not sharing his faith, having a violent temper, etc which might worry people. I've no idea about how much their relationships are monitored either but there's always someone who will take offence, sadly.

They seem to be the ONLY cases that Adam and Imran take on.
Do they even need an office and secretary Leanne (if she still works for them), as all the meetings are not in the office

Yes, Leanne needs to tell the clients in which cafe or bar they will find the lawyers :p

Roy is loving having a brother
john stape never told fizz about his daughter, it is cain/nate from emmerdale
evelyn will be the hero catching her out
Where is Cerberus? Not seen him for ages .. hope he is still in the house somewhere :)
He was in the shop with Evelyn last night - not sure if Dev would have liked that...

It's likely John never knew about her but if that's the case why is she trying to get revenge on his behalf when she never met him? Also, I always assumed John was older than it stated on the headstone as he taught Fizz at school (he could have been a student teacher, I suppose).
And what are the odds that Jade would be teaching at the very school that Hope went to? I'm wondering if she was keeping track of Fizz all along, found out she was going to that school in Birmingham and turned up there to work as a teaching assistant, in order to get to know her and deliberately become part of her life? I know even that is a bit of a stretch but it's easier to believe than the two of them just happening to meet at that particular school.

John was 32, 33 when he died, what age is Jade, I am confused by this, a sister or jilted ex pupil lover would have been better

She might be a step-daughter rather than biological which could explain not a bit age difference .. or as in usual soapland fashion,these details just do not matter ...

Are you sure he taught Fizz at school? I remember him teaching Rosie Webster at school, and her flirting with him. Don't remember Fizz though.

I don't think it was ever really made clear where, when and how they first met. As far as I remember we first saw him when he was a teacher organising the school play and that was where Fizz ran into him, but they already knew each other as former boy/girl friend some unspecified time earlier.

When they met at the school play it turned out he had taught Fizz when she was at school (before she came into Corrie) and she'd had a crush on him.

And again we've got to put up with the vile Michelle talking about stealing everything of Robert's, because no matter what he's done that's what she's planning to do. Even talking in Fridays episode I heard her "My Bistro".
Anyone else hoping she tries something illegal and gets caught? She really is a self important harridan, and it's got to the stage even Carla thinks she's out of her mind.

Nothing would give me more pleasure but I do not think it will happen that way. Robert will sign over his share to her because of his guilt before he gets shot and dies ....

He might have met her at the school but he could not have been teaching her as she would be about 23 at the time, perhaps she was working there, or they just met in the street or The Rovers. Trouble with introducing characters and stories from a past that did not exist at the time, is that it rarely makes sense.

I've never liked her as a character but I swear she gets worse daily, she is totally immoral.

Reminds me of Eve saying she wanted to 'rinse' Aiden.

Still cannot get used to the 2 sons.... who at one time could not stand each other, now behave as if they have never been apart and always lived with Michelle... how come Ali's real mother never gets mentioned even when he became addicted???

Sadly the Bistro is hers now and she will jilt him at the altar. Lots of online speculation that Michelle and Vicky are working together to destroy Robert financially and emotionally and Vicky disappearing so Robert gets accused of her murder....

I hope Vicky turns on Michelle and gets everything, sets Michelle up

Do the writers have something for Kym Marsh, it seems her character can be a total bitch to everyone and be a control freak and she always comes out on top.
I had a feeling that Vicky could turn clingy and stalkerish, and she's proved that in Monday's episodes, with her accusations of physical violence. I'm wondering if she's made herself scarce deliberately so that Robert will be accused of her murder? I'm not sure if she's working with Michelle as she was absolutely vile to Vicky recently but she definitely has a plan of her own.

Well, the fact Vicky shared the text messages with Michelle could be a sign that they are working together on totally destroying Robert .. financially and emotionally ...

I did find it rather convenient that Vicky suddenly turned into Michelle Mark II with her "I want to take you for everything you've got" line.
Really, Robert is not innocent but doesn't deserve the **** he's getting. ESPECIALLY from Michelle.
I would hope there's karma and that Ray somehow, somewhere gets his revenge.
very small turn out for the not happenin wedding and why invite ex steve

Ray buys the Bistro without Michelle being aware until it is too late .. or are you talking about Robert getting his revenge?

I'd rather Michelle somehow gets conned out of it, by Ray or maybe Robert again, or there's an 'accidental' fire, whatever.
I had to laugh at the Connor's sitting in judgement, that family has more baggage than a Boeing 747.

I think Michelle trashes the Bistro and leaves on the run after discovering Ray bought it after Robert is killed at Christmas
