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

Not sure Robert gets killed but suffers a fatal heart attack after being shot .. splitting hairs here, I know .. sorry :p

As I don't have a 10 foot tele I have difficulty reading the text messages on phones or PC's as they don't close in on them enough.
What was the message Bernie was sending?

Son of Cain

This is something that also annoys me, even when they do zoom in, often as not, they do not give enough time to to read it. This is something that as in life happens more frequently so is becoming more annoying. What I do is record the program as I am watching it so that I can go back to it later and pause these bits. Also I leave Audio Description turned on all the time as this will often tell you what is written.

Bernie was looking at Kel's website offering DJ coaching and posing as a fourteen year old boy writes "Dear Kel, I am fourteen and I would love to have DJ lessons, please message me back ".

emerald
14-12-2019, 21:23
I think Geoff is going to become more open in his controlling behaviour, going by last night's episode. He definitely felt more threatening than usual. Which begs the question: why can't Yasmeen see it? I could understand if he was being gently patronising, comforting her about the crab incident, etc while still staying in control but now he's just nasty and I can't understand why Yasmeen is allowing it, particularly as she seemed to be scared of him.

I think that is how the victims behave, firstly not quite understaning what happened to their previously nice partner and then the belief that it is them that is the cause of it all because they get told this time and time again. Makes very uncomfortable viewing but I do not think that this storyline is coming to an end soon just yet ... but hopefully somebody else will notice what is going on and will tell Yasmeen who slowly will become aware of what Geoff is doing ...

As I remember when Yasmeen found out about her husband Sharif cheating with her best friend she lost no time in sending him packing, she was certainly no "shrinking violet". So it seems a bit out of character for her to be so submissive to Geoff and his abusive controlling behavior. I also seem to recall she did not like the chickens so I was surprised she kept when Sharif left.

Is Vicky going to stay in that hotel room for the rest of her life? It is very difficult to disappear completely nowadays. Unless they know how to get a new identity and move abroad, she is bound to come to the attention of the authorities sometime, and the plan will fall apart. I find this all a little far fetched. I think we are meant sympathize with Michelle but I have none for her, altho' no doubt she will get away with it unless she is leaving the cast.

Very out of character but I don't think he should be blaming himself. He did everything he could for Richard in the weeks leading up to his death and he had no way of knowing his brother would die that day. Plus he rang an ambulance straight away and tried to do first aid/CPR. It seems sad that Richard should die alone on the floor but he knew Roy was coming back soon, with a signed football programme, he knew his daughter was back in college and he knew the two of them were starting to get on well.
If Aggie had been able to cook (and how long will that running joke last, considering she works in a cafe?) Roy would have been happy to leave her to get on with things. And, of course, if the carer had turned up he wouldn't have worried about leaving him. Plenty of "what ifs" when you think about it but if the cause of death was a heart attack Richard would probably have died almost instantly so maybe Roy couldn't have saved him anyway.

An all together a truly awful episode - every cliche about a lonely old woman at Christmas, alone with a cat talking to herself (or the cat), reminiscing about the past. Phone goes suddenly dead as she is about to press the third 9, no low battery warning. Handy that the back scratcher was to hand. Wincing in pain as she tries to pick up phone with right hand, but later lying on the floor with her head resting on the same arm.
They really have done Helen Worth a disservice with her current material, better if Gail had stayed in Thailand wearing fisherman's pants.

Soaps and tv dramas never seem to understand the difference between a rifle and a shotgun, they talk and bullets when shotguns fire cartridges containing pellets. When Derek shot thru' the door, a shotgun would have blown the whole glass out and most of the frame. Altho' we could not see clearly it looked like Robert had a single bullet would to his chest, instead of having most of his chest blown away which is what a shotgun would do at that range.
Bit of a clear out of cast members especially if Shona does not survive.
They also have trouble telling the difference between a shovel and a spade.

Regarding shotgun shells, you do get what's referred to as solid slug, which is as the name suggests one solid cartridge, though considering military forces have been using shotguns it's more likely they are military issue. With pellets, you get buckshot, birdshot et, different sizes of pellet.

As a personal story, I do voluntary work in an Oxfam bookshop, one day at the bottom of a big box of old books was a metal box with about half a dozen rifle cartridges of two different sizes and the same with pistol rounds. Had to phone management then contact the local police.

As a personal story, I do voluntary work in an Oxfam bookshop, one day at the bottom of a big box of old books was a metal box with about half a dozen rifle cartridges of two different sizes and the same with pistol rounds. Had to phone management then contact the local police.

I see Ryan is still a slime all.

You do indeed get solid slugs for shotguns but they are not in common use. At the range that Robert got hit he would have been blown half way across the street and the hole in the door would have been much much bigger if this was what was used. The whole idea of shotguns is that you do not have to aim it accurately as the shot spreads as the distance increases, the force of the shot also decreases, so the chances of survival increases the further away you are from the gun. But in Robert's case even if the gun was loaded with birdshot it would have made a mess of him and he would have known about it imediately, instead of walking a few paces before realizing he was hit. If the shotgun was loaded with rocksalt he would probably been OK.The same goes for Shona's box, the side of that would have been peppered with shot, but it might absorbed the force of the shot and she could have survived relatively unhurt. But it was difficult to tell how far away she was from Derek. I still did not find it very convincing.

I've only just caught up on the Christmas episodes and I can't understand how Shona was actually shot. It looked like the bullet/pellet shattered the glass bauble but I don't know enough about guns to tell if it would have enough force to penetrate the box and injure Shona as well. And I had to watch the scene with Robert again to spot the tiny hole the bullet made in the glass panel of the Rovers door - to be honest I didn't work out he had been shot until he collapsed. At first it looked like Derek had fired at the wall and shattered the framed photographs beside the door. Looks like bad planning and direction in those scenes.

I didn't actually mind the scenes with Rita telling the cat about old times; it actually felt poignant when she was looking at the old photograph and remembering her mother. But I did wonder how heavy the tree actually was and whether she could at least try and push it off her. I know she's 80+ but she's never had any serious mobility problems so, as others have argued she could have got herself over to the door or a phone.

And of course the worst part of those episodes was Robert telling Michelle with his final breath that he never deserved her - talk about cringe inducing.

Perdita
28-12-2019, 17:00
Must be just me then .. I think Rita could have got help before collapsing but then it was nice to see her reminiscing and I thought then that I would not mind doing that too if I ever get into this situation.... I never think too much about reality of how shots can affect in soapland .. do not think they take it as important to viewers as long as you get the message ... and I expected Robert to declare some form of love to Michelle before he died ... watched too many soaps over the years maybe .. :D

I really hope Corrie is going to show some "moral backbone" and we are going to see Gary punished for his past behavior, but I fear that as usual he will somehow get away with it. Perhaps his confession to Maria will be seen as enough for his redemption. If the police investigate properly none of his story will stand up to scrutiny, they will find that Derek is not a successful business man and did not have the money to buy the factory. Surely Gary had to buy the factory first before signing it into Derek's name, so there should be a record of that. I hope that the police are not as stupid and incompetent as "Soap Police" are usually portrayed as being.

He said the rent was due from before Christmas so there was opportunity to pay before the bank holiday. Nowadays banking can be transacted on your phone so probably means it can be done 24/7, the contract with Derek may have been included in Gary's takeover. My comment about Sarah was not so much about the method of paying the rent but about her deliberate antagonism of Gary and outright refusal to pay based on personal reasons, - never a good idea in business.

But they were not due to pay rent unti January ... Derek had allowed them to move in early and prepare things .. which Gary suddenly objected to .. did not look as if he actually had discussed new terms and conditions with Sarah so both are at fault for not communicating. I agree that Sarah is annoying and being spiteful and Adam really should tell her to be more professional when dealing with Gary.

As is normal details about business dealings are always a bit sketchy in Soapland, how often we seen the pub and the factory on verge of bankruptcy only to be solvent again a few months later and in the case of the pub giving away free drinks. Soap business goes from one extreme to another faster than than Adam can grow a beard.
But I think Nick and Sarah agreed to pay three months rent in advance from occupancy, perhaps they should thought about that before asking to be allowed in early for their party, Sarah's idea if I remember right. It is never a good idea to fall out with your landlord, even with contracts in place they can always make things difficult with maintainance and repairs.

The reason the SW said Jade couldn’t look after the children was because she had lived in the same house as them when they were being abused, so, yes, she is under investigation as well, but not because the SW particularly doesn’t believe her.

I disagree. He asked Chesney whether he wanted to work for him or the Supermarket. Chesney rejected him.

Can somebody explain why Fiz is in trouble with the police for buying a shotgun for the second hand shop where she took it and it was locked away immediately by Gary before it got stolen. Fiz bought the gun in good faith, thought it was decommissioned and left it with Gary, her employer. ??

Only reason I can think of is that she did not have a licence, which I would think you need before buying a gun. But I don't think this would be seen as a very serious offence, since she believed it to be decommissioned. - A very contrived situation. - Presumably Gary wanted to keep it quiet because he does not want the police to take a closer look at his business dealings.

the lies about the gun used in a hostage and shootings won't have helped her either

No he didn't . Dev asked him if he wanted Freschos or the kebab shop and before he could reply Gemma replied Freschos. Then when Dev had gone Chesney asked her why she had said that .

Has Beverley callard fallen out with the producers? It would seem to be the only thing that explains the clothes the wardrobe department choose for her.

I think this is indicative of the fact that they are struggling to come up with new believable storylines, Geoff is just becoming ridiculous as is this nonsense with Tim and Sally. Sally is acting like a drama queen any normal person would just laugh off the situation, after all Charlie has agreed to a divorce.

He's definitely got nastier. I can't believe he talked Yasmeen out of going to the pub the other night. Of course, he could have gone with her but then he wouldn't have been the sole focus of her attention. And the cleaning obsession is, for him, the perfect way to keep her at home and hopefully away from anyone who might get suspicious or keep her away from him. Thankfully it looks like Cathy is starting to realise what's happening but it will be hard to confront someone like that. And I can just imagine everyone else's reaction if she tries to tell them: "Geoff's a bully? But he's always so nice! You must be imagining things!" or words to that effect.

If we used that as a basis, everyone in Corrie, or indeed, soapland in general would be guilty of heinous crimes.

I must admit to really liking Kate Ford as Tracey, in the past she was written as pretty much a two dimensional villain and I don't think she's quite as bad as she used to be. Even her arguments with Leanne don't seem to have quite the same rancour to them and it's nice to see her being sincerely sympathetic to Daniel. Perhaps Mary has been a bit of a good influence on her even if she could drive a Trappist monk insane.

Good to see Roy and Nina getting on but I've a feeling Nina will end up working in the factory.. I like how he answered her question about what he would change about himself - having Hayley back again.
Cathy probably should have confronted Geoff herself but maybe she thought another bloke would be be able to get through to him. I hope Cathy talks to Yasmeen on her own and realises that Geoff was lying again as it's ridiculous that they both believed him.

I could never see how that was going to work. The text messages weren't specific enough - weren't they about Kel offering to give DJ lessons? Any good solicitor could have made mincemeat of the "entrapment"....ah, yes, I can see now. With Imran, Adam and Paula as the local solicitors, say no more!

I was surprised how casually Kevin and Tim reacted to the news that Chesney's house had been set on fire. I know they don't really have any interactions with Chesney, Gemma etc, but still, it's a fire on the street where you live and work, and there's four babies involved. But they pretty much just continued on with their conversation!
