My thoughts too ... and the fact they are still discussing how he will face justice.....
What worries me most is that they have had feed back saying how "authentic" it is, so I imagine they think they are doing a great job. It shows that they did not start of with a clear view of beginning, middle and end and that they are making up this story as they go along.
If that was my husband I would hate him with every fibre of my being and I would be glad to be free of him .

Yes, that seems to happen a lot in Soaps. The story as originally envisaged probably has a finite life and is sketched out in advance. However, the story (or the actors involved) get a lot of good feedback and the producers are very reluctant to let the story go, so they spin it out beyond credulity. We saw it in Corrie with Pat Phelan and in EE with Deano Wicks, amongst others. They then get to the point where, as you say SoC, they have to make it up as they go along.

Yes! And sometime they seem to forget details they have written earlier or contradict themselves, so lose even more credibility.

Mary should pick her for the Weatherfield panto next Christmas.
Good to see Cathy and Eileen putting their pieces of the "Geoff jigsaw" together at last. I can understand Tim to an extent; after all no-one wants to think their father could be abusive or controlling, and Sally will probably agree with him, but everyone else needs to be more objective.
Also good to see Nina getting involved in a teenage storyline. I like her scenes with Roy but she hardly wants to hang out with her 60-something uncle all the time.

Oh dear till the end of the year----I do not need to see or hear what Tim's mother suffered with Geoff or any other female that had to deal with him---let the writers go forth in the story to get Geoff jailed by gathering Yasmeen's evidence!

I am wondering if Geoff will say he forgives her and does not want to press charges. Yasmeen could then return home and the never ending tale can continue.

There is not enough evidence as Yasmeen cannot prove any of the abuse she has received .. what others have seen is mostly circumstancial ... They will need to bring in Jocelyn Walker who reported him and best of all would be Tim's mother ... Not sure when Geoff and Tessa got divorced but sounds like quite a few years ago where you had to give a reason for wanting a divorce, not just irretrievable breakdown of the marriage unless they both agreed to that ...??

Since they see Geoff as the victim they may not have felt the need to do so, or to take his phone. If they looked at the laptop they should have found the escort emails. The fact that Yasmern may also have used the laptop may have escaped him. Had they taken his phone they should have found the spy camera app. We do not know yet if they have found the camera, but even if they do he could say it was Yasmeen who placed it there to spy on him, or that he did because he was in fear of her and put it there for protection. Because we do not know the capabilities of the camera we do not know if is activated by a motion sensor, or if it actually has any recording facilities. It may only be accessed as a live view through the phone app (See my previous post on page 424 re: camera). However it does seem that the DS is a bit suspicious of Geoff's past so I cannot wait for Monday to see what happens next.
With all the coincidences that just happen to happen it begs the question as to why has no one coincidently seen Geoff spying on Yasmeen on his phone.
Or neighbours heard him yelling.
we did see the police bag up a phone

Good to see Gail and Audrey having a funny, yet touching scene together.

I can't see her agreeing to that. She wants him prosecuted. Why would she do that? In any case, I know Weatherfield has its own laws, but in the UK, a case of attempted murder does not need the victim to press charges. It is up to the CPS.

Although it is inherited from the mother rather than the father, it isn't necessarily inherited at all. It can be a genetic mistake in the individual.

I thought tonight's episode was a little weak. I think the problem with the Oliver "Mitochondrial disease" storyline is Simon Gregson's acting is very poor, however I did think Ben Price put in a good performance tonight.
The episode was saved by Evelyn - Maureen Lipman.

I am really sorry this story has been put on the back burner. I really want to know how it plays out. I have no interest in any of the current stories. David's story is just silly, and I am not sure if it makes me a bad person but I have no interest in poor little Oliver. Maggie only started at the hospital recently but she already seems to be running the place already. As for her family I find them incredible boring. The racism story just seems to be a nod to Eastenders. The way the Bailey family has been written as a stereotypical black family I feel is a bit racist in itself.

I noticed in last night’s episode, Aggie Bailey said she’d “Got a shift tonight.”
In so many episodes I hear characters talking about ‘a shift’, rather than just ‘going to work’.
Do people really say shift as opposed to work in real life?
I understand perhaps they’re nurses or police who often do rotating shifts. Usually then, the people I remember used to say working nights, or earlies, but not really ‘shifts’.
Even the bar staff at the Rovers use the word shift as well.

Language is not a static thing it grows and changes, altho' I have not heard many people say this in real life. It used to be said that Soaps imitated and reflected real life but now I think it is often life that imitates soaps. You never used to hear people talking about supporting others, they used to help each other, the first time I heard this was when I was working in Social Services, then Eastenders started using it and now it is quite common in real life. I suspect that some TV writers have a background in pyschology and counselling and it crept in that way.

I think the word "shift" has crept in more because of the increase in zero hours contracts, so that people do not have regular working hours and are therefore called in for a shift.

They do when it is 6 am to 2 pm, 2 pm to 10 pm, 10 pm to 6 am. In other words not your normal working day 9 am to 5 pm.those are shifts and you are a shift worker.

Ed's speech was very powerful and I loved how it affected other characters too, like Dev.
I just found Don a bit of a caricature, the way he mocked Ed to his face and laughed. Yes, there are still idiots like that around but he's just started running a Bistro that he presumably wants people to visit, regardless of their colour. Why would he make stupid remarks like that when, in theory, Ed could easily spread the word that the owner of the local restaurant is racist?

I was wondering who's running the barbers while David is looking for his adrenaline rush? Is Maria still there? Does it still exist?
The storyline about Oliver is sad but it involves a lot of families and it could be interesting to see different characters interacting who don't normally have scenes together. For example, Fizz and Leanne are/were stepsisters yet we never see them together so it would be nice to see Fizz talking to her about Hope's illness and her experiences.

I thought that when Geoff originally hid the camera he put it on the top of the shelf unit above eyeline where it would be less likely to be seen. It was not even hidden, it was almost in the open for anyone to see, nor was it that small, there are much smaller models available. He must have been pretty sure Yasmeen was not going to play any music while she was doing her endless hours of cleaning. Surely the police or the scene of crime officers would have found it, even if only because they were having a nosey at what type of music they had, it is something that people find hard to resist looking at. I presume it was activated by a motion sensor as the was a long list of clips on the laptop. It must have been battery powered as it was not connected to the mains, I would really like to know the brand of battery as they seem to have a exceptionally long life. The camera must have been operating for hours on end because Yasmeen did not seem to go out much now, and there was only one clip per day.
I notice Geoff only deleted some clips why not all of them, is this a hint that someone else is going to see these? Getting rid of the camera by putting it in the bin, obviously someone is going to find it. Why not bury it or throw it in the canal? Geoff is a magician surely he could have made a better job of making it disappear.

When you delete something on a computer you only remove the file name. It is still on the hard drive until it is over written. The police could probably retrieve the files but at the moment they have no reason to do so because they do not know they exist.

Sometimes people laugh when they are unsure what to say or do, they do not mean to but it is an involuntary reaction... maybe the producer/director is going a bit OTT in trying to show a very different Shona to how she used to be could be another reason ...

I also note that computers work quickly. I know laptops can be left on standby but even then if you've had one for a little while it takes a few seconds for the drive to 'spin up' and the screen to refresh. Desktop PC's switch on and are on full readiness in no time at all.
I remember years ago when I watched Neighbours I used to wonder at the Kennedys having a desktop PC in the middle of the lounge with no sign of any cables from it, no power, mouse or keyboard cables, monitor power nothing.

True, I didn't mean for it to sound so bad. Can anyone remember when and why this started? Was there an event that kicked this control and abuse off. Note that I'm not excusing Geoff, I was disappointed that Yasmeen hadn't killed him but that would have went worse for her.
It's obvious that Sally isn't buying it. For example he went on about how traumatic the 'assault' was, yet when it comes to the house he is all 'its mine, my precious'.
He is like Corrie's version of Gollum.

Look, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I frankly admit that it was very poorly phrased. As I say I hadn't had the best sleep when I typed that. I've been suffering long term chronic depression with many periods of suicidal thoughts, poor sleep, fatigue, apathy and exhaustion as well as physical pain. I just find it frustrating that the writers continually have Geoff get away with everything. It doesn't help that soapland police seem to be continually incompetent.

It is getting obviousbits not just Yasmeen he has a problem with, not that that excuses his behaviour towards her, but women in general. A week or two back there was his sneering at Carla's back about'how a smile would be appreciated', he's pretty dismissive of the female police, cutting off Yasmeen seeing Cathy, Alya or Eileen. Even his latest attitude with Tim about Sally, 'I thought this was YOUR house'. Very possessive in a personal and material sense.
I still think Alya could do something through the business. Geoff said that they, as in Geoff and Yasmeen owned one half and Alya the other. I imagine if Geoff is siphoning out major amounts of money from the business that could be checked out for fraud/theft.

There should be more background checks by the solicitor on Geoff, anything to dig up any dirt on him.

One thing to consider with this Carla storyline is that we only have the other persons (I forgot her name) word that Carla did 'dodgy things', she mentioned to Carla herself that she was suffering from amnesia, so really she could be making crap up about the 'desperate means' she took.
Everything seems to be unravelling for Geoff. Sally, although she hasn't flat out said, obviously doesn't believe Geoff and is at least very uncomfortable round him. Alya certainly doesn't, and Kathy and Eileen don't either. If the solicitors do some proper digging on Geoff's past it surely should come up with some supporting evidence, it might not be flat out proof but could discredit him.

If the writers consider it (not likely) a lot of these sort of things often get saved on cloud services as a backup. For a small example the Steam gaming service, if you delete a game from your hard drive, any saved data is available for retrieval.

Geoff does not seem like the sort of person to save things to the cloud, I would imagine you have pay a subscription to do so. Problem is, the police do not know Geoff was using the hidden camera. If they did they may be able to retrieve the videos from the laptop. When you delete something it is not removed, it is only the file name that is. Using appropriate software it can be retrieved until it is over written. Tim saw the camera, so possibly he could be the one to do it, if something arouses his suspicions or even if he thinks it would prove Yasmeen's guilt. I seem to remember that Geoff did not delete all the saved videos, only the most recent ones that showed him being injured, so possibly Tim or Faye might see the remaining ones and become suspicious.

That would be the great irony, if Tim or Faye, knowing that he did take videos, thought it would help his case if the video of the evening in question was retrieved and it was one of them who told the police about it.

Again it depends. Steam for example is no subscription and does it automatically, some other software might be the same. I think this sort of thing was set up to avoid hassle if you had a fault on your computer like a hard drive needing replaced etc.

That's true, I thought it was a bit thoughtless. It wasn't as if the Luftwaffe was still carrying out a bombing campaign of any significance on Britain. The closest thing that had happened to that was the V1 and V2's and by the time the Allies crossed the Rhine the vast majority of those sites were neutralised.
It seems that often the war in the East was forgotten. The only reason I could think of was when Rita said "the end of a great evil", she meant Hitler and his deputies specifically.

I wouldn't say I have zero interest in this story, but I have zero interest in this Seb story. These sort of "will they, won't they" stories involving possible romances get dragged out too long. While the Geoff/Yasmeen one has been long running its a lot more compelling.
I don't know as well, I find the way Leanne talks to Oliver with her voice higher pitched a little irritating, I know they're showing her as concerned, which is fair, and I'm not saying she should never do it, it just seems to be overly done.
Interesting to see Tracy being more sympathetic, while she'll never be Miss goody two shoes, it seems they have been making her a bit better lately.
Looks like the Geoff and Yasmeen storyline will be coming back this week, which will make things more interesting. I've no interest in the Seb/Alina/Emma storyline either. They had to make Tracy more sympathetic in this context as making her usual catty comments to a worried mother would be taking things too far, even for her. One thing I like about Leanne's storyline is that it's given her more scenes with Steve. They get on with each other better than they do with their respective partners.

But they also would not get on together for long if they were to get into a romantic relationship either ....
when did imran and toyah decide on fostering, surely ryan's drug past will go against him living with a foster kid

Looks like the Geoff and Yasmeen storyline will be coming back this week, which will make things more interesting. I've no interest in the Seb/Alina/Emma storyline either.

I am not buying a sympathetic Tracy. She will always be a nasty piece of work who should be im prison.
Leanne's reaction to Oliver's diagnosis might have been more powerful if she had acted out of character - just staying quiet, trying to take it in etc rather than ranting at the doctor.

Since when has a Battersby ever stayed quiet and not raved?

I haven't watched tonights episode yet, but it could be a state of numb shock, delayed grief, perhaps even a case of refusing to accept it, but in a different manner from Leanne, whatever. Believe me, I know similiar feelings but under different circumstances.

Not everybody reacts by shouting at the consultant, as Leanne did and stomped off. I think the shock of the news stunned Steve.

I assume he is following the script. Curly Simon was very predictable.
i just find steve gormless carefree calm, simon isnt the best actor for emotional scenes
good scenes with emma jenny and peter nick
seb and alina could leave

The whole Seb/Alina thing just seems as if it's going nowhere fast.

Correction, JF: The whole Seb/Alina thing just seems as if it's going nowhere very slowly.

I have never taken to Seb and still find it difficult to like him .. I wish he would just go away .. fast ..

I also notice nothing is ever mentioned of Seb being HIV+ nowadays, at all. That is if I'm remembering his story right.
Really also disliked the way Nick was at first with Peter but at least they seemed to make up.

I am not liking the attitude of Simon Barlow
Was it really necessary for Toyah to cancel the fostering ?
I hope that Chesney and Gemma got the sausages

Fizz and Ty seem middle class compared to Gemma and Ches who are at the bottom of the food chain.

I don't know what Gemma was expecting, when she was moaning about not going clubbing etc. She must have known others with kids so she at least had an idea what she was in for.

I think you do not realise that until you have kids 24/7

That's why I said she's bound to know others. If not I could understand, but she's bound to know others with kids that she would at least have an idea, never mind with quads.
Although I suppose she might have thought she would be different m

leanne needs a slap
It must be the worst thing possible to have your young son given a death sentence. Leanne needs some love, understanding and compassion. What she does not need is a slap.

She has been offered all that and has rejected it all . She has never cared for the feelings of others just like her father.

she is getting that but her treatment of others is awful, horrid to toyah

She does need a slap for being so cruel to the sister who was showing compassion, understanding and love, exactly what you say she needs. There was absolutely no need for that. She should have hugged Toyah not destroyed her. That was the ultimate in cruelty. No need.

No-one needs a slap. I think Toyah did the right thing, and left.
leanne needs a slap
No, she needs a tight hug and somebody to cry with her ... and then support her through whatever this horrible illness is going to do ..

Well, at least Tim walked in and heard his rant. Maybe the scales will fall from his eyes soon.

No one can hug her with social Covid distancing, tonight Nick should have held her but did not
Nick is more thinner and greyer from time off in lockdown

I didn't think we'd got to Covid yet. Isn’t this still all pre-lockdown?
