But I'm confused🤔, they wear masks outside then remove it when they go inside,
maybe subtitles could be put on for hard of hearing viewers, 😌

Unless you have a very old tv, subtitles are available, for most programmes. I use them all the time because sometimes sound quality is poor.

Yes, I use them quite a lot as well. Being a soft Southerner, I can't understand the Mancunian accent!

I'm just wondering if it's me who has got the Government message wrong as I can't understand why everyone in Corrie wears a mask when they are not near anyone else, but then takes it off when they get close up and talk to people.....

It's all very confusing. Cafe open, Pubs open and the haphazard wearing of masks

Indeed, so. But, I suppose it is at least one up on Eastenders, which has carried on as though COVID never existed apart from Sonia being rushed off her feet with all the non-existent cases.

Billy should resalise that things were fine till Todd showed up. He knows that Todd is a devious criminal. He knows that he cannot be trusted but he appears to totally trust him...He's an idiot.

Yes, he was offered a house to go with Archdeacon job, but when we first met him, I seem to remember he was not openly gay and wanted to get away from the church when off duty so that the Bishop and other people would not know. I think he was originally living in a vicarage next door to the church. Maybe I am mixing this up with another Soap as they all share the same storylines at some point.

Yes, that sounds a bit familiar. I do have a vague memory of Billy living in the vicarage when he first met Sean and that Sean came to the vicarage. Wasn't his moving out something to do with the Bishop's views on homosexual relationships within the clergy...? Not sure......

Sorry but I am hard of hearing so do not always understand what is being said... As Jacob phoned from the chippy it is natural for Leanne to assume it is open but maybe closing time and that is when Jacob found the wallet... as he is only going across the street Simon should be home again in 5 minutes .. but you are right, Son of Cain, I am going for a lie down now..

I wish I could find it so easy to cope with the utility bills, as it is I'm sitting with multiple layers of clothes and my feet and hands are freezing as I'm trying to keep usage down, I certainly wouldn't get away with telling the company that "they would have to wait".

A few years back someone I used to work for left me something in his will and it took well over a year to settle. Then more than another year to receive the last payment after the HMRC had been settled with. Mind you perhaps it is dependant on the competence and efficiency of the executor.

So, can someone run this past me about how Shona managed to cut off everyone's Internet with a shovel?

In the last 20 years, my Internet has been lost twice. The first time it was because the local water company had inadvertently cut through the cable while carrying out underground works; the second time for no apparent reason. The first time, the Water Co., BT and the Council had to cordon off the hole and put warning signs up while repairs were being undertaken as the hole was so deep, similarly the second time, BT had to cordon off the area and dig a deep hole to get at the cables to repair them. Both times a mechanical digger was used.

How did Shona manage to dig a hole deep enough through the pavement to get at the cables with just a shovel without anyone seeing?

Unless, of course, she tampered with the junction box we saw, but then why would she need the shovel and why would the BT worker leave the box open and again why would no-one see her?

Ted had a relationship with Audrey when they were both very young. They were going to get married but Audrey realised she didn't love him and called it off, but she was pregnant with Gail by then, though she didn't tell Ted. Ted then did National Service. When he came back he had a relationship with another woman, but that didn't work either and Ted was heartbroken. He then met James and became a homosexual as people seem to do in Soaps!

It may not mean she needs to get a job, but it does not explain how she paid the psychic.

Jack must be hardy soul, camping in the woods in February. Still altho Kevin did not go with him he will be able to know what it feels like to spend a night in the cold. Since Ray smashed the lock off the door, surely they will be able to get at the inner workings of the lock and open it with a spoon or something in the fridge. It's a good job Kevin has got his sleeping bag with him.

Leon just happened to be passing in a van when Tyronne went to get a cup of tea?

Is Leane receiving counselling, sitting at home all day with nothing to occupy her and take her mind of what happened to Oliver is doing her no good. I know it is easy to say but it is time she got out and re-engaged with the world, quitting her job was not a good idea, she should have went back, even if only part time. It is certainly not fair on Simon leaving him to be the bread winner.

Leanne is like her father. Lazy and selfish

Surely Billy's church has a hall where all the outreach activities can take place? And, in general, none of these activities (coffee mornings, playgroups etc) are happening at the moment so it seems like a waste of time. The work on the archdeacon's house seems odd too - I don't think Billy has the authority to just decide that it gets turned into a halfway house. The house itself is owned by the diocese, not by the church.
I actually enjoyed the scenes with Kevin and Debbie in the fridge, especially where they talked about their childhood and all the regrets they have. I wish Debbie hadn't been turned into Ray's accomplice this time around as she's an interesting character and she had a nice relationship with Kevin when she came back into it first. When the scene faded to black in Monday's episode I honestly thought she had died. Hopefully she hasn't, although her condition was never really confirmed last night.

I also wonder how Nick will react when the utilities get cut off since Leanne's reaction is "They'll have to wait for their bills", that's bad enough but reconnection charges are a thing as well. I don't know why Simon is suggesting Leanne should see anyone, the last time Leanne interacted with doctors she was tearing a strip off them and was downright abusive.

Utilities will demand payment eventually... in whose name are they going to be? Strange that Dr Gaddass has not made more enquiries how Leanne is doing... but then, nobody else seems to be interested apart from Simon who is expected to pay all the bills on part time chippy wages .... :wall:

I have been trying to understand Daisy's motivation for a while now. Is it just mischieve or is she an evil, scheming, manipulating ne'er do well? She and her boyfriend turned up at The Rovers, I thought on their way to somewhere else. He seem to continue on, I cannot remember if she finished with him, and she has now foisted herself on Jenny who has given her a job even though she did not need another barmaid as they hardly have any customers during lockdown (lockdown?????).

The last time I remember it being mentioned, was when Gail told David he could use the ?70,000 he had left over from the sale of the house to fix it. I think Debbie has admitted that Ray caused it, so surely she should pay to fix it.

I do not think it will ever be explained how Ray caused it, as quite frankly I think it would be impossible to do so it in a believable way. How on earth could anyone excavate and dispose of, a large amount of soil, in a built up urban area without anyone noticing? There must have been an access tunnel to get to the excavated area, where was that, in the middle of the street? Who would be stupid enough to dig out a large cavity underground that could cave in on them at any time while they were in there? No! - there is only one explanation as to how it was caused - MAGIC!

It's worse than that, because they did know. It had been discussed before that this sort of thing might happen. It was why Ken instituted his regime of giving Peter a small amount of booze each day. So when Peter decided he would rather go cold turkey (or cold jigsaw puzzle), they all knew what the consequences could be. I think it was a bit of pretty unbelievable scripting.

I am disgusted that the producers allowed this chancer to come on to the set and try an lure away one of the main characters
I am not religious, but you could see this in the context as the Devil's temptation of Jesus. Lucas tempted Carla with the offer of a better life in Devon, but Carla showed strength of character and rejected him, thus standing by her man.

With social distancing that would not be possible, I think.. they are far away from each other and is vodka not something you cannot smell???

I used to work on night shift with someone who drank vodka before coming to work and I could always smell it on his breath. In my experience I think it is true that vodka has less of a smell but it does still leave an odour on the breathe

Not only do I not care about any of the characters, but I am finding it harder to like many of them. Eileen, Sean, Todd, Billy, Daisy, Steve, Kevin, Abby, Leanne, Simon, and Fiz, I find it harder to like any of these. Strangely enough Tracey has become more likeable, or at least not as unlikable.

The most ridiculous aspect of Corrie at the moment, is that there are more gatherings on hospital wards than there are in Roy's Rolls, The Rovers, or either of the restaurants. These current scripts are post-Covid, and are a real smack in the face to people who haven't been able to visit dying relatives in hospital, while numpties like Steve McDonald and the even more ridiculous Lucas stroll onto wards and have cosy mask-less 3 way chats in corridors outside those wards. Even before the pandemic these scenes would have been ridiculous. The scriptwriters just get lazier and lazier as the weeks go by - it's about time they started making an effort again.

Well there's no excuse from now on as the Government laid out a "road map" on 22 February which takes us up to 21 June. The scriptwriters just need to follow that.

I thought he was only here to set up the deal, after that, the telephone and the internet. Many of the goods we buy in this country are made in China, so North of England is not that that far compared with that.

Do not know how Leanne thinks she can repay the debt, she cannot afford a loaf of bread. "Bank of Nick" is it again? She had the right idea the first time, about going to the police. She should remember she is the parent and stop giving in tno Simon all the time.

But she has never lost a baby son before ... but again, scriptwriters make out her family to be idiots by not realising how much she cannot cope... no work for months yet they are supposed to live on part time wages Simon gets at the chippy... Nick pops in ever so often but gets chucked out of his own apartment .. Toyah is a counsellor but cannot see her sister not coping...even Steve has had bad depression and should be able to see the signs... guess it will be summer before this drug dealing saga ends...
