Remind me to save looking back.... who was it that locked Kevin and Debbie in the freezer?

Ray Crosby. Or was that a 'rhetorical' question?

[lizann]

Ray's changed his plea, Faye's put in an appeal and the hearing's tomorrow.

Righty-ho!

faye slept with ray to get a better job first time out didn't she?

[Dennis tanner]

Righty-ho!

ITV have a lot of influence

[Dennis tanner]

faye slept with ray to get a better job first time out didn't she?

But that was before she was with that nice Policeman

[Perdita]

faye slept with ray to get a better job first time out didn't she?

She did but under duress as Ray gave her the impression that there might not be a job for her if she did not sleep with him.

[Snagglepus]

Ray Crosby. Or was that a 'rhetorical' question?

No, I just couldn't remember if he was still around at that time and whether it was part of a different story.
My memory sometimes plays tricks on me.

[lizann]

But that was before she was with that nice Policeman

she cheated on craig then

[lizann]

where is rita and paul?

[Dennis tanner]

She did but under duress as Ray gave her the impression that there might not be a job for her if she did not sleep with him.

That's not good enough Faye. Corrie residents can always get a job.

[parkerman]

That's not good enough Faye. Corrie residents can always get a job.

And in the Street too.

[Snagglepus]

And in the Street too.

She will be made CEO of the Bistro.

Roy needs to realise that he has a duty to the community who can't be @rsed to cook food and make drinks

Has Corey & his father been on the show since he/they were arrested (November 5th)? Those were the last shows available to me on Hulu.

no corey was arrested and plead guilty so no trial, we don't know what happened daddy

[bratface]

no corey was arrested and plead guilty so no trial, we don't know what happened daddy

So when does he plead guilty? Did they show it in one of the episodes? Is it something I can look forward to? Or is it done off-camera?

Thanks for your reply.

It was all done off camera but it was reported in The Sun.

Also, is there a way to 'bold' or 'italicize' things?

The Sun is a tabloid rag, there used to be tools to "bold" or "italicize" text but no more :(

Once again the Weatherfield legal system breaks all records. It's just a shame that England and Wales and Scotland can't move as fast....but then, of course, England, Wales and Scotland have had COVID to worry about, something which has completely by-passed Weatherfield.

Sadly the rest of the British legal system does not have the likes of Adam and Imran. They used to have the great Marcus Christie but things have gone downhill since his demise.

abi was phoned that he pleaded guilty so no trial

[bratface]

abi was phoned that he pleaded guilty so no trial

So then he just disappears from the soap? The only bad thing about that is, it seems that every time a villain is defeated, two more show up to take their place.

[LouiseP]

Roy needs to realise that he has a duty to the community who can't be @rsed to cook food and make drinks

And have enough money to eat out despite being on minimum wage.

[mysangry]

I see that we have some tedious storylines coming up about Drugs again, had quite enough of these storylines thankyou very much.

And what has happened to the older residents, still no Evelyn, or Rita, or Ken, and it looks like Roy is going to become a cropper (sorry no pun intended!)

And is it true that we are going to see the back of GEmma? oh yes please, but leave Bernie, otherwise the average age of corra will be about 15
😣😣

feel like I am watching Grange HIll half the time🥱🥱

[lizann]

they could dishevel dirty up kelly for being homeless

is roy leaving nina all alone, take her with him at least, she has no one

Just wondering if Weatherfield is the only part of Manchester that doesn't have political parties? And why?

[Dennis tanner]

I am not sure that King Andy allows political parties

Nina has got Asha

Nina could sell the cafe and it's flat to Dev to add to his new empire.

[tammyy2j]

Stu is an interesting character

I have no interest in Kelly or Faye

Is Roy gone for good?

Stu is an interesting character Agreed


I have no interest in Kelly or Faye I have


Is Roy gone for good? Hope not

Nina could sell the cafe and it's flat to Dev to add to his new empire.

What is she going to live on?

[LouiseP]

[QUOTE=Perdita;969624]What is she going to live on?[/QUOTE

The interest of the proceeds and get a job. Maybe run the cafe for Dev. She knows how. Win,win.

[lizann]

kelly saved already before a nail broke

[Jadefalcon]

Who the hell does ASHA think she is telling Stu to leave?

asha that brought corey around and kept him around

She did not know about his attitude until the day of the attack and was confused and scared herself .. these are stilll kids in the end

[lizann]

asha knew what corey was like and went back to him and now boomeranged back to nina, she needs to stay on her own for some bit of time, asha gets off with a lot, nothing wrong with being alone of your own

you'd never think jack lost a leg

stu should see a doctor with covid about but that has bypassed weatherfield

I am not certain about what Stu actually wants.

[bratface]

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that a kid who is nearing 15 plays an 11-year-old?

[mysangry]

I see Phil is getting his mother to come and pay a visit to Corra?
She seems like a cross between, Hycanith Bouquet or Dame Edna, so nice to some new faces of the over 60 brigade😍😍😊

It's not really that odd. I remember years back the original Beverley Hills 90210 had comments that the actors were significantly older than the characters they play. From what I hear it's far from the only case. Other times in adaptations characters ages get changed as well if things can be 'uncomfortable'. There's probably also something to do with rules for certain age brackets as well.

You have a valid point, one of the reasons we rarely see very young kids is that they are limited to filming times so a teenager playing a character a few years younger will allow them go let the teenager film a bit more..

[Perdita]

I have missed bits of Corrie and cannot understand why Aggie said to Grace she can her her sofa and next you see Grace selling a sofa to Bernie???? Or have I got it wrong?

[lizann]

grace is blackmailing ed and aggie with michael's daughter

Yes, I know but this kid (Kyran Bowes) looks so much older than 11, heck he looks a lot older than he actually is.

[Snagglepus]

He speaks like a 8 year old.

[Son of Cain]

He speaks like a 8 year old.

I would not be surprised if he is recast soon. His speaking voice is very flat and monotonous. He will soon be a teenager and I would think they will want someone with a bit more life in him. Just hope they do a better job than they did with Max, I really cannot take to the new Max, he is too different than the original.

[bratface]

He speaks like a 8 year old.

That's another thing that creeps me out. That coupled with his size was the reason I looked up how old the actor was.

[lizann]

nothing physically wrong with curtis

stu a chef cook, who will employ him, nina?

[Jadefalcon]

Not at all intimidated by Zeedans father in law who despite Alya knowing the truth still thinks he can bully her into laundering money. She should just report him to the police.

[lizann]

i miss the old summer

[Perdita]

Not at all intimidated by Zeedans father in law who despite Alya knowing the truth still thinks he can bully her into laundering money. She should just report him to the police.

Family shame thing???

[Dennis tanner]

So Curtis is a mega hypochondriac. Poor Emma.

[parkerman]

You have to admire Billy's loyalty to his "boss". Stu: "Someone must be looking after me." Billy [pointing skywards]: "Always." Said without any irony to the man who has spent years living rough out on the streets and now has a hacking cough.

[Perdita]

So Curtis is a mega hypochondriac. Poor Emma.

He has a mental illness. Munchausen's syndrome is a psychological disorder where someone pretends to be ill or deliberately produces symptoms of illness in themselves. Their main intention is to assume the "sick role" so that people care for them and they are the centre of attention. People with this syndrome very often lack any self esteem.

[lizann]

emma really is unlucky in love since arriving, curtis lied his dad was dead

[Jadefalcon]

For Daniel being apparently such an intelligent guy he sure isn't perceptive. Isn't it rather obvious that Summer has a major crush on him, though additionally surely Summer could see that Max is developing the same feelings towards her.

[bratface]

He might be book smart but I have always thought he was a bit slow in the street smarts category, especially when it came to relationships with real people. He also never seems to be very aware of his surroundings?

Why are doctors still seeing him, he needs therapy help

[parkerman]

So we are to believe that:
a) a restaurant does not have a maintenance contract that includes calling out an engineer immediately to deal with something like a broken dishwasher and has to ring round engineers leading to them having to close for the day or even longer.
b) a fire investigation is carried out and the conclusions made known almost immediately.

[Dennis tanner]

For Daniel being apparently such an intelligent guy he sure isn't perceptive. Isn't it rather obvious that Summer has a major crush on him, though additionally surely Summer could see that Max is developing the same feelings towards her.

If Summer is suitable for an English Literature degree course at Oxford, my name is Billy Shakespeare.

Zeedan might have silly hair, but I have to give him credit for rescuing Stu.

Considering it's a two to three day stay, Why did Phil need to bring that very large plant with him ?

Glory be, she's a disgrace

[Jadefalcon]

You know, I'm not a violent person, but if Hashim is going to make threats, why doesn't Zeedan literally beat him to the punch and remove HIM as a threat. Zeedan looks a lot more physically capable.

[Perdita]

You know, I'm not a violent person, but if Hashim is going to make threats, why doesn't Zeedan literally beat him to the punch and remove HIM as a threat. Zeedan looks a lot more physically capable.

Hashim has sons that will do harm, if the restaurant had not gone up in flames, Yasmeen's house would have or more physical violence to the family members or anyone else involved in the restaurant

[lizann]

He might be book smart but I have always thought he was a bit slow in the street smarts category, especially when it came to relationships with real people. He also never seems to be very aware of his surroundings?

sinead was his first in every way afair

[Jadefalcon]

Hashim has sons that will do harm, if the restaurant had not gone up in flames, Yasmeen's house would have or more physical violence to the family members or anyone else involved in the restaurant

The trouble with this whole storyline is that it will be neverending. How many times has Zeedan laundered money and this time he said he wanted the stolen money back, plus the 50k WITH interest. In other words the debt will never go down.

Perhaps what he should have done was record every conversation with his phone and go to the police. He might get in trouble but surely that scumbag family can be done with threats like that.

[Snagglepus]

Who took the van?
I thought it may have been Debbie playing a prank and moving it because he took her pitch.

The whole story is ridiculous. Speed daal is not big enough or busy enough to put that much money though their books. Most of the time we see it, it is almost empty, I think the most customers we have ever seen at any one time is ten or a dozen. I am not sure how money laundering works, but if they put large sums of money into their bank account, surely they must be liable to pay tax and VAT on it. Also when it is withdrawn and given to Hashim how is that explained.

[Snagglepus]

Who took the van?

Good guess.

[parkerman]

?20,000 in cash? Yes, no problem. Here it is in a paper bag.

[lizann]

is that reporter a friend of curtis or a cousin or sister

fiz is just with phil and now him and his mammy move in, no ruby or evelyn

[Dennis tanner]

?20,000 in cash? Yes, no problem. Here it is in a paper bag.

Michael Bailey is not the sharpest knife in the drawer is he ?

I guess the Baileys can now rent that house out and get some money back.

[Perdita]

?20,000 in cash? Yes, no problem. Here it is in a paper bag.

20k must be the going rate for selling babies, Tracy wanted 20k from the Croppers for Amy...

Alya is right, IF, the insurance pays out. Stuart who is not a member of staff was left in Speed Daal alone, unsupervised. This could be seen as negligence.

Or Hyacinth Bucket aka Bouquet

[Jadefalcon]

I don't think Nina is really the overly materialistic type and would much rather have a stabilising influence like Roy in her life.

[parkerman]

I can't help thinking that Ryan hasn't quite got the hang of this CPR idea. You don't stop because you think someone is dead; that's precisely the time you do it; there's no point in carrying out CPR on someone who's alive! You keep going till the ambulance arrives and the paramedics can take over.

[lizann]

I can't argue with that

[Jadefalcon]

Am I the only one with no sympathy at all for Hashim, the guy was an evil immoral scumbag who if anything deserved a slower, more painful death than he got. It was obvious the greedy SOB was never going to have an end to the money laundering and saying he wanted the insurance and his original money showed him up for what he was.

If Zeedan had had an ounce of sense at the start he would have went to the police as it was obvious that there was going to be no end to it.

[lizann]

Don't forget Charlotte Bronte.

No, I did not have sympathy either. However, if Zeedan had gone to the police we would not have had the fire storyline and of course, he would have had to admit that he actually stole the money. Did we find out how he stole the money from Hashim?

[Jadefalcon]

Another stupid thing was dumping the bistro key on the boot, surely the glove box would be more likely. Not to mention that the boot looked rather clean and empty.

[Son of Cain]

Don't forget Charlotte Bronte.

I do have sympathy for Charlotte Bronte.

[Dennis tanner]

In real life Daniel would probably be best at another school, but not the one Max will have to go to.

[Son of Cain]

I am becoming confused by the "Curtis Story" I cannot see where it is leading. We know he is not dying, his doctors and his step father have told him. I am not even sure if it is father or step father. Does he really believe he is dying? If so does he believe mult-vitamins will save him. Does he know they are multi-vitamen tablets or is he convinced they really are life saving heart pills. Is it some sort of scam, or a search for sympathy? Is he suffering Munchausen Syndrome? When Emma caught him out with the multi-vitamens, it was like he knew they were not proper heart pills and that deep down he knows he is not ill.

It's his father and Curtis is suffering from Factitious Disorder, a serious mental disorder in which the person feigns a serious illness. Both his father and doctor have been trying to get him to get treated for the disorder but he has so far refused.

[Son of Cain]

It's his father and Curtis is suffering from Factitious Disorder, a serious mental disorder in which the person feigns a serious illness. Both his father and doctor have been trying to get him to get treated for the disorder but he has so far refused.

So he is aware that he is not ill, and that the medication he is taking is just multi- vitamins. But when he argues with the doctor that he is serious unwell, that is what confuses me, does he actually believe he is ill at that point.

[parkerman]

So he is aware that he is not ill, and that the medication he is taking is just multi- vitamins. But when he argues with the doctor that he is serious unwell, that is what confuses me, does he actually believe he is ill at that point.

That's difficult to answer. Yes, he knows he is not really ill, but Factitious Disorder (FD) is a very serious mental condition. To give a not very good analogy - it's like someone being depressed; they know they are depressed but they can't just snap out of it. There are many possible underlying causes for FD (trauma, need for attention and depression amongst them) and you probably need to get at the cause before being able to treat the condition itself.

Yes but she looked doubtful again at the dinner with Steve and Tracey when he started with a lie again.

[Jadefalcon]

While Sally is very pompous and irritating, I can see how she would be ticked off at Maria constantly bringing up the prison angle as it was wrongful.

Regarding Curtis, is it me or does he have a very prominent chin, it looks like he has a huge growth there. :)

[Dennis tanner]

Yes but she looked doubtful again at the dinner with Steve and Tracey when he started with a lie again.

Did he really have a hole in his heart when he was young? His father doesn't appear to have mentioned it.

[Perdita]

Did he really have a hole in his heart when he was young? His father doesn't appear to have mentioned it.

He pointed a scar on his chest out to his doctor to convince him that he had a very serious operation once, the doctor told him that he had an operation as a young baby to fix a hole in his heart which was now functioning perfectly.

[Perdita]

[QUOTE=Jadefalcon;970541

It does look odd, not sure if he has a bigger bunch of beard growing on the chin part or he is trying to cover a large chin with some beard .. if that is so, he should maybe grow a bigger beard all around, I think, to take away prominence from the chin ??

[Son of Cain]

It is surely a long time since Steve had a 36" waist.

Is the ?4,000 pound that Curtis gave to Oliver's fund, money that Steve gave him to see private consultants?

I thought Emma was going to tell Steve the whole sorry tale when he started prattling on and would not let her get a word out.

Is it just me or is Simon Gregson's acting getting worse. Steve is becoming more and more of a caricature.

[Dennis tanner]

Will Emma's silence help Curtis to steal ?100K ???

Great thinking from thick Gary there - phoning Maria while still in Sally's house with Tim around.

So you are saying Gregson is a buffoon?



On another topic. I've just finished with the episodes where we finally find out Curtis isn't really ill & Hashim told Zeedan to burn down Speed Daal, etc.

What are the odds that there would be so many stupid people in such a small village/town/neighborhood? I'm not just talking about Zee & Curtis, there are so many more.

[Dennis tanner]

So you are saying Gregson is a buffoon?


Certainly not. He's a jolly and friendly chap who knows where his bread is buttered

[Son of Cain]

Audrey was speaking for all of us, well, me, at least, when she said "One day someone will get married around here, without a hitch". The first few times of the "will they - won't they" is a bit dramatic, but every time, it just becomes boring and predictable.

[Son of Cain]

Does no one in Soaps have a sense of smell, that they never know anything is burning until they open the oven door.

[parkerman]

1. If I was in the police investigating the "theft" of ?100,000 via bank transfer, I think I might contact the bank first and ask them what's happened to the money. Silly, I know. Just as well I am not in the police.

2. As SoC says, has anyone ever managed to cook anything in a soap EVER that hasn't finished up burnt?

[Son of Cain]

1. If I was in the police investigating the "theft" of ?100,000 via bank transfer, I think I might contact the bank first and ask them what's happened to the money. Silly, I know. Just as well I am not in the police.

2. As SoC says, has anyone ever managed to cook anything in a soap EVER that hasn't finished up burnt?

PC Tinker is probably so busy investigating every crime in Weatherfield that he has no time to contact the bank. I am pretty sure it will turn out he was not stealing the money at all. It was pretty obvious he was booking Fuerteventura for the honeymoon, so no surprize there then. I am getting tired of this boring tale. Wish he was stealing the money and running off, so that we could see the back of him.

[lizann]

Certainly not. He's a jolly and friendly chap who knows where his bread is buttered

simon was just like steve in the castle for im a celeb and came 2nd, runner up

Audrey was speaking for all of us, well, me, at least, when she said "One day someone will get married around here, without a hitch". The first few times of the "will they - won't they" is a bit dramatic, but every time, it just becomes boring and predictable.

Applies to all soaps of course

Was Craig's car insured for Faye to drive ? In any case, Coromnation street is a really daft place to have your first driving lesson.

Talking of which, I can't understand why Faye got the blame for the near accident. Asha was looking at her phone and just stepped straight into the road in front of the car.

This is Craig Tinkler the probationary Constable. This in the real world would have been a CID matter and even if it were not so then it would be highly unlikely that Craig would be investigating so close to home. Then of course this isn't the real world it's Corrie. Where things happen in accelerated time.

One of my children is a police officer. As far as I'm aware police officers can serve at their local station, but it's not advisable, due to lack of anonymity, the criminal element potentially knowing where you live etc.

When I was young, our local officer lived in a Police house with a little Police Station attached. Everyone knew where he lived.

The Problem in Corrie is that PC Tinker appears to deal with all crimes occuring in Coronation street and the street immediately next to it. He is always on duty when necessary.

It opens them up to all sorts of allegations. It could put them in an awkward position. Over here it used to be the case that you were not allowed to live in the area you served in.

In PC Tinkler's case I sure there are plenty of other Stations than Weatherfield he could serve in although I accept that Weatherfield Nick is the centre of the known universe

Tyrone is the owner of the house, he bought it from Jack & Vera (2008). Vera died before the deal went through but Jack honored the deal but stayed on as a lodger.

Here is a part of the 'wiki' article (I'm never sure if I can leave links here):

"No.9 is currently home to Fiz Stape and her daughter Hope Stape, and Tyrone Dobbs's daughter Ruby Dobbs. Tyrone had been Jack and Vera Duckworth's lodger when they owned the house. They sold it to him instead of leaving it to their son Terry as Tyrone had been a better son to them, despite not being a blood relation. The striking appearance of the house - namely the stone cladding - was Vera's idea, as she wanted it to stand out. Some years later, Vera renamed the house "The Old Rectory", when she was trying to out-do the neighbours. Tyrone moved out in April 2021 after he fell in love with Alina Pop."

[RogerOver]

I remember in the past Roy corrected someone's grammar when they asked him, "Can I get a cup of tea?" Roy replied saying something like, "No, I'm the owner. I will get it for you if you'll sit down."

I see in last night's episode he seems to have forgotten that. In the cafe with Asha. Nina (to Roy): "Can I get an iced bun?" Roy: "Certainly."

We can but hope, she instantly blamed cars for Liam having asthma without even daring to consider alternatives, but that might take some thinking, something she doesn't seem keen on. If it's a choice between her and Sally at a local election I'd say you're stuffed whoever you vote for. Better to spoil it instead as both are vacuous and self serving.

If it's a choice between Maria and Sally at an election for local councillor, it also means that something ha gone seriously wrong with party politics in Weatherfield as it appears that not one of the major national parties will be putting up a candidate in the election.

As for Maria's campaign, I expect the cars will miraculously all return when Maria starts campaigning on pollution for the election. Once the election is over, whoever wins, the cars will all disappear again.

Legally he is only responsible for Ruby, Hope isn't his child. And, by the way, I know that Ruby has been with Fiz, Hope, & Tyrone for most of her life but Fiz isn't her mother, so it seems to me that Tyrone should take a bit more responsibility for her?

Now on Corra, a story is to emerge of Emma taking out Faye for a driving lesson (Emma has been drinking) and someone is knocked down, and yes they keep schutmn!

Also on Hollyoaks a under 30 year old male has developed Dementia and the story is evolving regarding "Luke's" life
Surrpise Surprise
Adam Barlow is to get Dementia and struggle with his memory and as such his life

Emma knows how to drive? The character barely knows her left foot from her right.

Are you being sarcastic about Adam getting 'dementia' because he didn't remember a 'girlfriend' from his past (but didn't he remember later?)? I just watched the episodes from Lydia's first appearance & he does say he vaguely remembers her. I also don't understand why Sarah is being such a bi**h all of a sudden (she's always been a bit of a whiny bi**h but I thought she had gotten over the Carla thing). And who expects a person in their mid-30s to never have had a relationship with the opposite sex? 🙄

[Son of Cain]

Why do soaps always need to have a character who is stupid, as is the case with Emma, who uses the wrong words or misunderstands what other people are saying. Here we have her supervising a learner while she is still under the influence of alcohol. Have we ever seen her drive a car before, has she got enough experience to teach Faye, who seems to have made remarkable progress compared to her lesson with Craig. Faye did not seem that bothered when she hit the pensioner. Now he is dead, surprize! surprize! As if we did not see that coming.
Presumably Emma's malapropisms are meant to pass for comedy, but personally I do not find them, funny, I do not find them funny when Honey in Eastenders uses them, and I do not find them funny here.

[lizann]

can sarah just do one with lydia, both leave, so annoying and also add faye and emma

He checkmated by moving his bishop from g4 to e2, revealing his rook on g1 which actually checkmates Mary's king. His other bishop is on h6 preventing Mary from moving her king to f8 or g7. She has nowhere else to move her king.

Yes, agree with all of that. How can Emma possibly be on her own? So many people know that Faye was driving the car.

Also, yes, I just find the Tim storyline so aggravating. What possible reason could he have for not telling Sally about the GP's referral and his appointment with the heart specialist? If it turns out ok, that's good for both of them to know; if it doesn't and he needs, say, a triple heart by-pass or something, she'll have to know soon enough anyway.

If it turns out ok, that's good for both of them to know; if it doesn't and he needs, say, a triple heart by-pass or something, she'll have to know soon enough anyway.
If Tim was so ill he would surely have been given medication pending his operation.

Is Adam the father of Lydia's child ???

How come Ellis has got off Scot Free with the Survival Challenge disaster, after all he was the one that organized it?
