Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Jadefalcon]

Geoff is really getting worried and ticked off, so far, so good.

[lizann]

if geoff was a really great dad how come he never knew or helped tim read and write

[lizann]

Nick could have as they are living together ...

the actors keeping distance, scenes now post lockdown no?

[parkerman]

the actors keeping distance, scenes now post lockdown no?

Where's the social distancing in the Rover's return or Roy's Rolls? Where are the screens and the masks?

[LouiseP]

They haven’t filmed during lockdown and are still showing episodes pre COVID.

[tammyy2j]

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

the cast of Coronation Street having to resume filming on eight half-finished episodes from before the coronavirus lockdown began

[Dennis tanner]

Geoff is really getting worried and ticked off, so far, so good.

Does Geoff realise that HE will have top pick that plate up ??

[lizann]

Does Geoff realise that HE will have top pick that plate up ??

im surprised that house has plates left

[Lizphor]

He noticed but who will he blame ?

I do not care if Tim never sees his father as the horrible man he is --am hoping the writers keep Alya and the other females bringing justice to Yasmeen

[Jadefalcon]

Okay, Geoff at the end there, if that is reported, can't it be classed as something akin to witness tampering.

[lizann]

i hope yas reports geoff

[Jadefalcon]

i hope yas reports geoff

Surely Alya would find it a bit coincidental that her phone disappears and Geoff scuttles out of Speed Daal like his backside was on fire. If found out, it should be reported to the police and the prison authorities to make sure he can't try this again.

[Snagglepus]

I am sure all prisoner calls are recorded.

[flappinfanny]

Ryan is working well now he does not have Ali or Michelle around him, a good rounded character, I hope once the Yasmeen story has ended they make good use of Ryan. I like his relationship with Alya.

[lizann]

I am sure all prisoner calls are recorded.

yes the are

[parkerman]

I am sure all prisoner calls are recorded.

In 2012, the government limited phone calls to specifically identified phone numbers. As part of that process, prisoners supply the confidential telephone numbers that they wish to contact. Prison staff are then required to carry out checks that the number is indeed a genuine number that should not be recorded or monitored, so confidentiality is respected but not abused.

As Yasmeen was phoning Alya's phone, her phone call would NOT therefore have been monitored or recorded.

[emerald]

Poor Tyrone meant well by sympathising with Geoff but he's only encouraged him, I'm afraid.

That seems a bit odd as there's nothing to stop a 'trusted number' from planning something dodgy like bringing in something illegal like drugs or anything outside the rules, though I guess it might vary person by person.

[Snagglepus]

I'd have thought a 'confidential number' would have been to their solicitor.

[parkerman]

I'd have thought a 'confidential number' would have been to their solicitor.

One normally is plus one to a family member.

[Jadefalcon]

Hopefully she still reports it. He can say all he likes about "How he was missing her", but there was no mistaking the tone of voice he was using, it was designed to intimidate. Although obviously anyone Yasmeen tells won't be able to know that. The fact remains that he shouldn't be in contact with her at all, all that has to be said is that it was Alya's mobile phone, so that would bring up the question of what the hell was he doing with it.

[Lizphor]

I did not care for Ryan before now hoping he stays .

[Jadefalcon]

Geoff says he's going nowhere as he's every right to be there, but he was pretty plain he was going to try and make it unpleasant enough hoping that Alya would quit.

What happened to his plans to sell the place, or at least his and Yasmeens half, I doubted the legality of that without Alya's consent if it's a straight 50/50 split, or would that definitely go nowhere now with Yasmeen in the situation she's in.

[parkerman]

Who drew up the rental agreement between Gary and Underworld? It is normally the case that there would be a clause in the agreement that the rent will be reviewed annually or some other fixed time period. The landlord can't just put up the rent when he feels like it.

[Snagglepus]

Nick had had a shave since the last episode then grew another beard in the space of a few hours.

adam?

[Dennis tanner]

Simple matter for the Police to ask Windass to arange a meeting with his 'boss'

[Son of Cain]

No one on the street seems to notice Gary Winass's interest in Kelly Newman, in the real world, would people not be thinking "Perv or Peado" ?

[Snagglepus]

Is Sarah aware that Adam is acting as single when talking to Laura.

[RogerOver]

I noticed in Wednesday's episode Scott Emberton was talking to Emma about a barge holiday. He said, “Start off at Castleford, head off to Yorkshire.”

I could have sworn Castleford was in Yorkshire, ha ha!

[Dennis tanner]

They do keep confusing barges with narrow boats.

Seb's hair is a disgrace. There is no excuse for him to avoid having his haircut properly.

[Perdita]

I wish Alya would stop shouting at Geoff ... makes her look a right harridan and she gives him ideas ...:wall:

Now Jenny is back, is Carla, Simon and Peter going to stay living in the pub?

I like Yasmeen's prison friend, I hope she helps Yasmeen realise Geoff is bad for her so no going back

25 years ago, Yasmen's prison friend was an attractive lady.

[Jadefalcon]

I would have thought that Geoff talking about the case on the radio would have been illegal as possibly trying to influence any potential jury or court members who might be listening. The way he was going on nearly made me sick, not to mention the choice of one of his songs, "The first cut is the deepest", subtle as a brick to the face.

was it on hospital radio or has he a show on a national radio as brian heard on an app

[parkerman]

Geoff explained to Brian in the cafe how to get the app for his hospital radio station.

Incidentally, would it count as murder if someone did away with Seb or would it just be seen as a service to humankind?

He needs half a dozen slaps and 2 serious haircuts

I do not believe that Geoff managed to pull Paula Wilcox.

It must have happened before she had the cataract operation to restore her eyesight.

Strangely he did appear in the later part of yesterday's episode with a haircut.

[Snagglepus]

Well she did have a thing for Geoffrey Bubbles Bonbon.

[Snagglepus]

Where is Daniel getting the money from, doesn't she charge £200 a session?

Seb storyline is sooooo boring--not interested at all.

[Dennis tanner]

Kenny has a money tree. The people that he borrowed the money off to fund Tracy's defence must have told him to forget paying it back

Oh oh! I can see him finishing up on Judge Judy.

[lizann]

go on yasmeen tell that *******

[lizann]

adam is very obsessed with gary and rick

[Jadefalcon]

Yay for Yasmeen, I thought at first that was her buckling again, but Geoff's face was priceless. It's just a shame her phone wasn't recording Geoff, though that would also mean she'd have to admit to having an illicit phone in prison.

I may turn out to be wrong but I think she is playing it wrong. Surely she should have allowed him to support her in court.

Why doesn't Sean's head turn with his body, it is always a second or two behind. Makes him look daft.

But Bernie did not wear a face mask !!

[Son of Cain]

And she travelled in the same car as Brian.
It would seem we are not at the start of lockdown but nearer the end of it but not quite where you need to wear face masks in shops.
They went a bit overboard with the mention of wildlife sightings - not very subtle - less is more.

[Snagglepus]

Roy's Rolls have gone contactless, wouldn't have thought Roy would be that modern.
Were there any wrinklies in last nights episode or are they on extended lockdown.
Maybe we won't see the likes of Ken, Rita, Audrey etc for a while.

Contactless - perhaps his niece, Nina's idea or influence.

[lizann]

the actor thinks legendary in his own head

[parkerman]

The portrayal of life under Covid-19 is all out of whack. All the stories have been continuous so, really, we should now be in the early stages of lockdown, but the pub and the cafe are both open. It's like they've just skipped four months in Covid progress but not with the stories.

[lizann]

im confused who is tess how many marriages has geoff had

gary blaming PTSD

[Ruffed_lemur]

I was surprised to see Alya visiting Yasmeen at the hospital, and not wearing a mask. All the staff were wearing them though.

[Dennis tanner]

Of course he's a legend. I relaise that some don't like him because he's gay and camp.

If Elaine/Philippa left Geoff after 2 years, did Geoff bring up Tim on his own?

[Son of Cain]

Wiki Fandom says Geoff had three wives, Elaine Jones, Tessa Metcalfe and Yasmeen, no mention of a Philippa. It says he married a 26 year old woman (Elaine?) who died of breast cancer 2 years later. He then became involved with Tessa who was rude, lazy and selfish but he put up with her because she allowed him to saw her in half in his act. Despite disliking her he married her when she became pregnant with Tim who was born in 1992. Sometime later they divorced, but does not say how much later. Nor does it say if Tim was still a child then or if he was, who he stayed with. Not sure where Wiki gets it's facts from but would assume it is from the programme makers. In which case it seems Corrie is rewriting history. I cannot remember what Tim or Geoff may have said about the past but I am wondering if the plot to make Goeff abusive was a recent idea as it does not seem to fit with this history.

Elaine (Philippa?) said they were married for 2 years and Tim was born in 1972 according to https://coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Geoff_Metcalfe.

[Son of Cain]

Elaine (Philippa?) said they were married for 2 years and Tim was born in 1972 according to https://coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Geoff_Metcalfe.

My interpretation of this is that Eleine/Philippa is the one who died od breast cancer as she is listed first and Tessa is Tim's mother, so as far I can see Monday's episode does not make sense.

[lizann]

is tess real or made up by geoff, who bought up tim as he couldn't read and write

[Perdita]

Maybe they changed the storyline and forgot what was previously mentioned? :hmm:

[Son of Cain]

Maybe they changed the storyline and forgot what was previously mentioned? :hmm:

I think this is all a result of Marc Anwar who played Sharif, Yasmeen's husband being sacked. They were then left with a single Yasmern and not knowing what to do with her, paired her with Geoff and made it up as they went along.
One thing that has also puzzled me is that when Sharif got the chickens Yasmeen disliked them and did not want them in the garden. But recently she did like them, so that when Geoff cooked Charlotte and served her up for dinner, Yasmeen could be brokenhearted.

[lizann]

i did wonder was controlling abusive geoff the storyline for him for his introduction as he was introduced as a jolly kind hospital radio dj

[Dennis tanner]

badly done stunt

If that car had been going any slower it would have been going backwards. Gary could almost have put his hands on the bonnet and brought it to a stop. It stopped on the proverbial sixpence. Perhaps they could not afford a proper stunt guy.

[Dennis tanner]

That is such an insult. Accusing people of homophobia.That is NOT why people don?t like him.

People don't dislike Sean because he's gay. They dilike him because he's the wrong type of gay. He's also camp. It's the campness that appears to irritate people.

[Son of Cain]

Not sure where this idea comes from that people dislike Sean or his campness. As I said I quite like him and his campness. I have known and worked with several people who were theatrical like Sean and have liked them got on well with them

[Perdita]

Quite a few 'Seans' in my village and they are lovely guys and always good for a laugh ...

[lizann]

the writers could have changed sean for the better from his homeless storyline, don't mind him being gay and camp but he can be very annoying, selfish and dull but so can many characters

[swmc66]

I think Tim was not supported enough to learn to read and write. It probably suited Geoff that he could not. Made him easier to manipulate

Samia said on twitter that Maria lives with Gary, so that's ok.

Elaine is not really keeping a low profile on the Street away from Geoff who lives there

[flappinfanny]

Probably because I can't think of any other reason why he is so hated especially on other boards I don't mind campness, you are right he is disliked on many forums. I just feel as an actor quite simply he is very limited and a one trick pony. I actually thought he was better in "Queer as Folk."

[lizann]

weatherfield hospital no restrictions as anyone can stay wait for news on gary

[Dennis tanner]

I don't mind campness, you are right he is disliked on many forums. I just feel as an actor quite simply he is very limited and a one trick pony. I actually thought he was better in "Queer as Folk."

I agree with all that and he is adequate for a soap actor. He is genuine because he more or less plays himself.

[Son of Cain]

the pub doing takeaway, is it hotspots cooked by ryan

I thought only Sean knows the recipe.

[Jadefalcon]

I think part of the problem with Sean is that he largely comes across as having next to no character development. Soap characters often change over time. For instance Eastenders, Stuart went from being Micks friend to being a nutjob to being if not nice, at least a bit reformed. Corrie has had their own examples, like Evelyn who went from being downright acrid to more comedic and over the years there have been others.

Sean while he has had some changes still basically seems to be much the same as when he first came in. Any character stories seem to be wiped largely and forgotten, his friendship with Violet, his homelessness etc.

[tammyy2j]

Sally loves her yellow rubber gloves and now Jenny has too

I hope Geoff did not kill Elaine, kidnap lock her up?

faye and tim believe geoff can do no wrong is all nice

[Jadefalcon]

Some characters need to be consistent.

You can be consistent but still develop characters. For example Gail's nature has pretty much been static, she's always thought no one is good enough for her precious Nick and that she is a bit better than some people but there's still been evolution of her character. You can be consistent and still have some changes. Sean has always been the same.

That maybe because Mr Cotton is still the same

So Gary pulled all those IV canulas out, left hospital without discharge and a day or two later is walking around like he has never been in a bad accident???? :hmm:

[parkerman]

I believe Spain is quite a civilised country and I would imagine all deaths are registered. Maybe the Weatherfield police could ask the Spanish authorities for a copy of Tim's mum's death certificate, even if they have to try two names.

[Dennis tanner]

I believe Spain is quite a civilised country and I would imagine all deaths are registered. Maybe the Weatherfield police could ask the Spanish authorities for a copy of Tim's mum's death certificate, even if they have to try two names.

The problem is that she wouldn't be able to find one and would not be able to prov e that it never happened.

Did anyone ever bother to find out where ' Daft Tim's' mom was living ?

[Snagglepus]

Underworld have been making masks and scrubs for the NHS, they deserve a mention in the Weatherfield Gazette for that.

[parkerman]

The problem is that she wouldn't be able to find one and would not be able to prov e that it never happened.


That's the point! She wouldn't be able to find it as there isn't one. Of course that is not absolute proof she didn't die, but Geoff said she died of breast cancer in Spain in 1970. Surely if she died of breast cancer she would have been under the care of the hospital, a hospice or a doctor at the very least, one of whom would have signed her death certificate. So, the fact the police wouldn't be able to find one would surely cast huge suspicion on his story.

[lizann]

is tess the one that supposedly died of breast cancer?

[Snagglepus]

Didn't Geoff say he was 'told' she had died of breast cancer, so he can say he is not lying if he was misinformed.

[parkerman]

Didn't Geoff say he was 'told' she had died of breast cancer, so he can say he is not lying if he was misinformed.

Yes, he said he was told she died of breast cancer in Spain in 1970, which is quite specific really. However, yes, if there is no death certificate he can of course say that he was misinformed but that in itself leaves open the possibility that she is still alive as that's the only reason he has to believe she died.

[Jadefalcon]

Geoff really overdid himself at the end there. Who does he think he is when Sally has made it clear he's not welcome, not to mention his fobbing off of Faye was a bit over the top.

Also the way he more or less dismissed the Police detective, Weatherfield police at their usual high standard.

[lizann]

if the detective "investigates" tim birth cert would have philippa not tess down as his mother also no death cert in any country for philippa either spain or uk

[parkerman]

Geoff really overdid himself at the end there.
I can't understand why he didn't tell the police the same story he told Faye. Why say he didn't have an argument with any woman when he knew that might get back to Faye?

[lizann]

jenny doing great business in hot pot takeaways

[Son of Cain]

All that running has certainly paid off for Craig. - Well Done - Looking good!

I didn't recognize him at first.

[Son of Cain]

Geoff is certainly arrogant dropping the SIM card from Elaine's phone down a drain in the middle of The Street, in broad daylight. Altho he checked no one was about did he check for "Curtain Twitchers" someone could have seen him. We don't have drains in the middle of our roads, our drains are in the gutter, easier for dropping things into without being noticed. He would have been safer throwing the whole phone in the canal.

I don't think Geoff has killed Elaine, but if Sally or Alya are so worried about her disappearing have they thought to look in the ginnel, where she was last seen.

[Katy]

Geoff is certainly arrogant dropping the SIM card from Elaine's phone down a drain in the middle of The Street, in broad daylight. Altho he checked no one was about did he check for "Curtain Twitchers" someone could have seen him. We don't have drains in the middle of our roads, our drains are in the gutter, easier for dropping things into without being noticed. He would have been safer throwing the whole phone in the canal.

Especially with Mary and Gail on the Street - they are both expert curtain twitchers!

If Steve wants a cooked breakfast or sausage sarnie .. why does he not go home to make something ? Why give Nina or Dev a hard time???

If the Steve MacDonald "Sausage Drama" is meant to pass for comedy, it failed miserably. He is coming across as an unreasonable sexist bully.

[parkerman]

Did Geoff really give Tim and Sally so much money that it would buy out half a successful business? That would have been some wedding and some honeymoon!

[Son of Cain]

Did Geoff really give Tim and Sally so much money that it would buy out half a successful business? That would have been some wedding and some honeymoon!

Alya has some money but not enough, Sally offered to give her the rest. Business dealings in Soaps rarely compare to reality, which is why they are often vague and don't mention the actual amounts involved. I can't remember where Geoff actually got the money to buy into the business in the first place. Does he get paid as a hospital DJ, are these positions not usually voluntary? Judging by how much money he was taking out of the business for escorts, dresses and to give to Tim and Sally for their wedding, Speed Daal must be worth quite a bit. Business values in Soaps seem to rise and fall to suit the script.

[parkerman]

I can't remember where Geoff actually got the money to buy into the business in the first place.
From memory, did he not just take over half the business because he was Yasmeen's husband? And then stole the money from the business to pay for Tim and Sally's wedding. I don't think he ever put any money into it.

One of the problems with dragging out stories over a long period of time is that it is hard to remember details, mind you I think the writers rely on this as it allows them to change the plot to suit the current storyline.

In what way, if there's no meat actually available in the cafe what is she meant to do, and why is she under any obligation to cook stuff that he brought in.

[Son of Cain]

And also I am sure cooking food a customer brings in would contravene some regulation, she would have no history of it and it may be contaminated. I am sure Roy would have done the same.

[Snagglepus]

If Yasmeen and Geoff own half of Speed Dahl cannot Yasmeen give her share (quarter?) to Alya?

[lizann]

geoff claims everything of yasmeen's as his

[Son of Cain]

From memory, did he not just take over half the business because he was Yasmeen's husband? And then stole the money from the business to pay for Tim and Sally's wedding. I don't think he ever put any money into it.

I think originally when Speed Daal open it was owned by Zeedan and Imran who invested when Rana's parents pulled out. Imran later sold his share to settle his divorce. Alya bought it by selling her shares in Underworld. She was sole owner until Geoff and Yasmeen bought in as partners, not sure where the money came from, if it was all Yasmeen's or if they remortgaged her house. Can't remember if they own equal shares, or if Alya owns 50% and Geoff and Yasmeen the other 50% between them. Even if Yasmeen owns a quarter she may not be able to give it to Alya if there is a clause in the contract giving Geoff first option.
Business dealings in Soaps are the equivalent of "not reading the small print" so details can be added at a later date to suit the plot.

[Son of Cain]

geoff claims everything of yasmeen's as his

This shows the value of a good prenup.

[Perdita]

This shows the value of a good prenup.

They are only married a short time, the courts might not agree with Geoff, just because you are married without a pre-nup does not mean you are entitled to half of everything .. friend of mine got married after having bought her house, when she got divorced her ex claimed half but did not get it as they were married only about 8 years or so..

[lizann]

did zeedan sell his shares?

[Son of Cain]

did zeedan sell his shares?

I am pretty sure he did. I think maybe he needed the money to start or invest in a business in London or wherever he ended up. I think before Geoff and Yasmeen came in as partners she was sole owner.

Yasmeen unfortunately got into the habit of surrendering responsible for legal financial matters to Geoff. Remember how she let him put the money from the insurance for the break-in into his account. I do hope she did not put the house or part of it into his name legally. She still seems reluctant to confront him on these matters. Alya tried to lock him out of the house but he got back in. Even now she is still reluctant to face him in court.

She was abused and is traumatised, only natural that she does not want to see him .. I am sure she feels stupid and embarrassed to have ended up as his punch bag. .. I see your point about the insurance money and other things we did not see, hopefully she did not transfer half the house to him but no doubt that will come out once Geoff is exposed for what he really is.

Why oh why is Alya always telling Geoff about things in her and Yasmeen's favour ??? Wish she would stop talking to him and let Imran do the talking... until they are in court ..:wall:

She said the supplier had problems with deliveries not much she could do about it.

I'm sure Nina is quite capable of running the cafe and I can't imagine Roy (of all people) leaving without full and comprehensive instructions.

[Jadefalcon]

Well Nina is probably correct saying it's supply problems. A small cafe like that probably has one or two suppliers for food and finding interim suppliers is difficult at the best of times, never mind during Covid which Corrie seems determined to emphasise.

No Jake, Faye and Liam at the wedding

[Dennis tanner]

Windass should have explained to Maria that he does love her, nearly as much as her loves Sarah.

I am supporting Adam. Sarah says that Windass saved her life but she needs to remember why she ran into the road.

Platt was wearing a nice Mothercare suiot

[Son of Cain]

Was Sarah an Ostrich in a previous life, she seems buring her head in the sand, and adopting the attitude that if she tells Adam she does not want to talk about it, everything will be OK. She is a bit of a spoilt brat who is too used to getting her own way.

[parkerman]

Why does Sarah keep saying that Gary saved her life and going on about her children growing up without a mother etc. etc.? Gary took the full force of the hit and he wasn't killed. In fact he was up and out of hospital in a matter of hours. Why wouldn't it have been the same for her?

And as Dennis Teanner says she was only in the road because Gary was chasing her and she though he was going to do her harm. I don't even know how she came to be standing in the road, she was running along the pavement when he was chasing her, she stopped and looked back at him, then the camera cut to a different angle and she was in the road and Gary somehow managed to push her out of the way and get hit by the car that was travelling at walking pace. The car had just come round a corner was going so slowly she could simply have stepped out of it's way

She only has Gary's word that Rick threatened to kill her and Harry, and I am not sure she actually believes him. When Gary killed Rick he did it to save himself, Rick planned to kill him and had even dug a shallow grave to bury the body. When Gary turned the tables on him and buried him in his own grave this was another example of someone who complicated the situation by not going to the police. I can't remember why Gary did not report it, probably because of his involvement in the loan sharking.
Was it Gary who damaged the factory roof and did he blame this on Rick. If so he was responsible for Rana's death too.

Yes, it was Gary who damaged the factory roof, which killed Rana.

There are too many examples of not going to the police in cases of self defence. Becoming too common in soaps to " get the shovel! "

I agree with your comments however, I can understand Gary being scared to go to the police as he would not be able to prove that Rick was going to kill him .. difficult situation to be in. And not being a natural cold blooded killer, his guilty conscience is eating away at him. And as a side remark .. would be less drama if he had confessed to the police :lol: I know soap operas are meant to reflect real life but ever so often the scriptwriters need to add drama, not that it always works .. :p

I am all for a bit of drama, I just ask that it is realistic, which more and more often it is not. When the police questioned Sarah, they knew she was lying about why she called the police but seem have just accepted her silly story about someone stealing her car and dropped the matter. I just feel that Soap's now set a bad example to young people in particular when established cast members continually get away with behaving badly and hardly ever have to face the consequences for their crimes.,

It's not so much the cord but his bad temper. Any vacuum will have a longer cord than that, he just can't be bothered uncoiling it a bit and with the way he was yanking it around it was inevitable this was going to happen.

Adam was quite right to put his foot down. I'd like to know how he's managing. His job won't be that highly paid, he's got internet, utilities, rent and council tax plus normal living expenses. He'll get child benefit but even then he can frequently pay Nicky, always seems to have drink.

True, he's suffering from grief, most certainly depression, isolation to an extent and not just Covid related. It's actually been surprising that we've heard talk of Tracy being more understanding, the writers seem to have made her more sympathetic of others recently both with Daniel and Leanne.

I'm wondering if Nicky is actually feeling guilty hence why she seems to be making excuses that she's busy.

I know myself I've been suffering from depression for some time and someone saying get a grip or even being well intentioned and saying things will get better or even worse, cheer up can be intensely frustrating.

I can't remember how Geoff obtained Power of Attorney, but it seems highly unlikely to me that he would ever have been granted it in the first place. These are the five principles that have to be applied before one is granted:

A person must be assumed to have capacity unless it is established that he lacks capacity.
A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision unless all practicable steps to help him to do so have been taken without success.
A person is not to be treated as unable to make a decision merely because he makes an unwise decision.
An act done, or decision made, under this Act for or on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be done, or made, in his best interests.
Before the act is done, or the decision is made, regard must be had to whether the purpose for which it is needed can be as effectively achieved in a way that is less restrictive of the person?s rights and freedom of action.

[Jadefalcon]

I think a prime example of the application of power of attorney is when someone is suffering from severe dementia for example.

[LouiseP]

I think it takes at least 28 days to get an alcohol licence. After applying you must display your application on the premises and in the local newspaper to give the police, fire service and the public to opportunity to object. So Geoff could not possibly have a licence already. Not sure if it would be illegal to order alcohol during this period but it would be to sell it. Geoff winding up Alya or bad writing?

In addition he would also have to designate a premises supervisor, who has to have a personal licence. Presumably he would designate himself, but I very much doubt he has a personal licence.

The licensing authority, the local council, would also make their own investigations before awarding the licence. Presumably this investigation would include finding out who owned the restaurant and speaking to the co-owner.

Exactly! - If Alya objected I am sure this would raise questions as to whether a licence should be granted, especially with Yasmeen a co-owner still facing a murder charge. Geoff could not possibly have got a licence. If the story continues saying he has, this is very badly researched and written.
