[Dennis tanner]

I think most of the older residents know about Tracey and some of the newer ones must have been told by about her. I think the trouble is that when creating these storylines, each plot is handled as a separate story, and they do think about the past, and how it should link up to the present.

She is a classic example of a cold blooded murderer getting away with it.

The older residents never mention it though, not even her family or Roy who Tracy claimed was the father when she first was pregnant with Amy and then charged him and Hayley 20k to keep the baby ...

Boy, you are up early, or is it up late? Anyhoo, I have NEVER liked Tracy! In my eyes, she has never done anything that wasn't self-serving. But the only Barlow I have ever liked is Peter (don't ask me why though).

And now she?s so bl**** self righteous and outraged over Wendy Crozier. Pot Kettle.

I can't for the life of me figure out what that word is. I'm assuming it's a swear word but...?

Bloody? But why would she blank most of the letters? It's not really a bad word. That's why I couldn't figure it out. I thought it was a UK slang word I didn't know.

[LouiseP]

Let me explain. I am very wary of offending someone . The 2002 curse!

I recently added to a fun post on a social media site asking for ridiculous exaggerations. E.g. I could eat a horse etc. ?I?m as big as a house? I wrote ? I?ll kill you if you do that again? . I got a severe reprimand and told it was a hate crime. The PTB obviously hadn?t read the title of the post or put it into context as an exaggeration . Haha reminded me of the recent Toyah storyline when that line was used. So now I am very careful what I write in case someone/anyone is offended.

Facebook did not like it, I presume... I was once banned from sharing posts for 24 hours as it went against their community standards... all I ever share are posts about lost/abandoned cats and dogs... I asked FB what actually went against their community standards but never got a reply.

How long before Sally and Ed think Tim and Aggie are having an Affair, with all these meetings in the Community Garden.

[lizann]

could michael or deedee move into the other bailey house where grace was

[Perdita]

Would a daughter really go into a bistro and embarrass her father the way Tracy did? I wish Ken would tell her to mind her own business and wind her neck in. He is old enough to make his own decisions and if he wants to be in a relationship with Wendy, so be it. :angry:

Long as it doesn't become truth, boring!!!!

[mysangry]

Stephen removed him from the skip....but I can't remember what he did with him!

He vanished into the "tardis" car or van, Stephen with almighty strength hauled him into, never to be seen again, with luck.

But as the immaculate Stephen had dirty nails, (noticed by a vigilant female in the bar)
One must imagine he has buried him?

[mysangry]

So as we can see Shona has either been eating to many pastries in the caff, or she has grown a baby that no one has noticed.

What will be her storyline exit be this time????

[mysangry]

When can we expect to see the end of "The Summer Spellman show"

Time she ran away with Aaron, pleeezzzeee make it happen

[Perdita]

She is pregnant so we have to go through this scenario first, once again, a couple that had time to plan for this event and get contraception but didn't ... ffs

Julia Golding is pregnant. I hope they don't split her and David up when she goes on maternity leave.

I would like them to split. I don't want Platt to be happy.

A happy David means a happy(er) ?? Max and Lily at least and the rest of the family.

[Son of Cain]

I had forgotten about the existence of Grace. Is she still in the house? I seem to remember her trying to ?20,000 from Ed. Did she get the money and disappear?

An annoying little scrote with bouffant hair. Well, he IS a hairdresser.

I have to tell you all that the actor has had a hair transplant at enormous expense but it still doesn?t improve him.

After 22 years as David Platt it should be. Whenever I have seen Mr Shepherd being himself, he sounds and acts just like Platt.

I would not be surprised if the DNA result show up that they are Lucy's...

It was on Charlie's bag.

[Dennis tanner]

It was on Charlie's bag.

Yes but how did they get suspect samples ?

[parkerman]

Yes but how did they get suspect samples ?

When Dee-Dee trawled through the evidence she found that Stu's DNA hadn't been found on the bag, so, as Stu's solicitor, she had it sent off for testing.

[Perdita]

Yes but how did they get suspect samples ?

Alya got hold of Bridget's lipstick and they used that for DNA testing

[Son of Cain]

Has Leanne got tired of making other people's life a misery, so now she is making her own life miserable.

Why did Tim and Aggie simply not just tell Sally and Ed that Aggie was just helping him to get his mojo back, instead of going all round the houses without really explaining what they were doing.

[flappinfanny]

This show is getting an embarrassment, I think it is fair to say Emmerdale is now the main draw on itv.

[Dennis tanner]

Why did Tim and Aggie simply not just tell Sally and Ed that Aggie was just helping him to get his mojo back, instead of going all round the houses without really explaining what they were doing. That would be far too simple.

It must be very difficult to keep things going in soaps

[LouiseP]

That would have looked worse imo.Sally would have said ? ?Are you discussing our sex life with someone else. It?s private? ? More to the point why didn?t he just buy her a box of chocolates?

[Perdita]

That would have looked worse imo.Sally would have said ? ?Are you discussing our sex life with someone else. It?s private? ? More to the point why didn?t he just buy her a box of chocolates?

He was more grateful than that ;)

[Son of Cain]

He could have said Aggie was a nurse, a health professional, and that is why he spoke to her. Sally would have been annoyed, but then Sally gets annoyed about almost anything. But it would have been better than just confiding to someone in the pub like Peter. It was obvious weeks ago that this is what was going to happen. My main gripe about the scene was both Aggie and Tim said a lot but really explained nothing. It was a silly story used to fill space.

[Dennis tanner]

The strange thing is that Sally was not suspicious when Tim kept singing " Wake up, Aggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you"

[Son of Cain]

The strange thing is that Sally was not suspicious when Tim kept singing " Wake up, Aggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you"

Is that Rod Stewart I hear, shouting it's "Maggie, Tim, Maggie".

[flappinfanny]

[flappinfanny]

We all knew Max was not going to be behind Maria's trolling. Sam did make me howl when he said to Leanne about not being academic.

[Son of Cain]

indeed and the hour episodes are not helping neither is 6 episodes a week.

Since they increased^ the number of episodes the show has gone downhill. They should be brave enough to go back to three or four episodes a week, then we could less silly, unrealistic gangster stories, and no more nonsense about Sally and Tim's bedroom antics. My choice would be for two thirty minute episodes on Monday and Wednesday with one hour on a Friday.

That's more or less what we have at the moment

[Son of Cain]

No, we have hour long episodes on Monday and Wednesday, so it would be one hour less per week. I did not mean two, thirty minutes episodes on Monday and another two on Wednesday, I meant just one thirty minute episode on each night.

What is it about with Corri and children having disjointed families.
Poor Sam lost his mother.
Summer has 3 gay men as guardians, non of whom is a parent
Max and Lily with a very confusing set of guardians
Jack does have his Dad but again a different "mother" person
Lewis, only his mother ,no father
Dylan again another confused set up, his Gay Dad with numerous boyfriends in and out
Fiz daughter with a "step father" (when hes not shacking up with latest love interest)
And of course his daughter whose mother is "God knows where"jail I think

Apart from the "invisible" quads is there any actual real life families together as a unit on Corri.
And dont mention the Baileys, as we have now got rid of the footballer
Which leaves his brother bringing up his child and again no mother

Time got a grip and realised that there are real family units that consist of biological parents living as nice families.
Urggggghhhhh corri is annoying me

Ruby's mother has now died, no longer in jail. I suppose Tracy has had her adoptive dad around her all the time even if he was not always living with her mum. Aadi and Asha have had Dev around all the time, mum sadly died. But you are right, Dad, Mum and children all living under one roof does not seem possible on Coronation street.

[Son of Cain]

Nick and Leanne seem to be making the situation with Sam wanting to visit Harvey more difficult that it needs to be. They should sit Sam down, and try to explain to him why Harvey shot his mother. Harvey was a dangerous escaped criminal, who was on the run when he broke into the flat, and shot Natasha when she came home and disturbed him, thinking she was Leanne. There is a slight danger that Sam could lay some blame on Leanne, but I think Sam is bright enough to see that it was not her fault. They should tell him that is very unlikely that Harvey would offer him a reasonable explanation, or tell him the truth, as lying is what criminals do to allay the blame.

[Snagglepus]

I think Sam will go and visit Harvey and ask him why he became very naughty and that if he had played chess when he was little, he may have turned out better. Sam will offer to visit him each week and teach him to play chess. Harvey will be so filled with remorse that he will go back to his cell and hang himself and Abbie and her baby will come out of hiding and will be seen on the street again, and Haley's coat will suddenly be found behind the back of a chair in Roy's Rolls and Maxine Peacock will ask Audrey can she have her old job back.

It's a rule in Coronation Street that no-one ever actually explains anything. Mostly they just stand there without saying anything while someone is ranting on having got it all wrong. Then comes the break up and divorce (or murder) and all the dysfunctional families mentioned above, when a simple explanation may have saved everything.

The Stu saga. Based on what she told Stu, why on earth would she plead guilty to murder? Hasn't she got a solicitor ?

I must keep an eye on the credits tomorrow night to see if it lists: "Scriptwiter Snagglepuss" or do you write under a Nom de Plume?
One problem with your script, "Too Many a happy Endings", it will never be accepted.

At times it is like Sam is the Parent and Nick the child. Nick is constantly avoiding fully engaging with Sam, and takes the easy way out in difficult situations. I think there are times when a parent has to be firm and say that a child has to wait until they are older before they can make certain decisions.

[mysangry]

Oh no, don't think I can bear it!!
Seems we are to have more of this insipid young woman, Summer😢

So she is pregnant and no doubt a whole load of "I can't keep it" and her dreadful whining all over again.

Please send her away to a far-off land to bring up her baby and take the 3 Guardians with her.

We can have spin-off called "3 men and a baby + immature teenager"
🤣🤣

What about abortion? Do characters in UK soaps ever have an abortion? Is it ever discussed as an option?

Several soap characters have had abortions or talked about getting one.

[Perdita]

What about abortion? Do characters in UK soaps ever have an abortion? Is it ever discussed as an option?

Sally made Rosie take an morning-after pill, not sure if this has been done before or since, Leanne had an abortion, I am sure, Tina McIntyre aborted David Platt's baby, Sinead aborted Daniel's baby and I am sure there might have been others I cannot think of at the moment. Seems contraception and the morning-after pill after unexpected intimate encounters are not an option.

[bratface]

Thanks all for your replies. I guess I hadn't noticed those examples. Here in the US it is barely mentioned. Erica Kane on the soap All My Children had one back in 1973 but weirdly enough around 30 years (?) later, it was changed to not an abortion but a real child had been born, but Erica didn't know? 🙄 Here is a short synopsis of that:

"It was 2005 when the head writer, Megan McTavish rewrote the story to have Dr. Greg Madden (Ian Buchanan) transplanting the aborted fetus into his own infertile wife. They raised Erica?s child and when Josh Madden, originally played by Scott Kinworthy, came to town, it was eventually revealed to be the child Erica thought she had aborted."

It's barely even discussed here.

So Bernie has plenty of witnesses who saw her in the cafe during the morning when the jewellery shop owner would have seen Fern. It seems quite easy to me for Bernie to prove her alibi. If only Craigie was on the job.

Where is he, Craigie? He has not been on duty lately when plenty of his colleagues had to deal with matters on Corrie :hmm:

[Son of Cain]

No shotgun blasts into the ceiling - No hammers smashing glass cases - Must be the quietest, most non violent "Jwellery Heist" ever. But why did Fern feel the need to pull her hoodie up before she started robbing. After all she had been cleaning all morning with her hood down.
To be truthful I am confused by the whole business. On Monday's episode she arrived at the shop and the owner/manager left her cleaning, when he seemed to go home. On Wednesday he arrived when she was cleaning and said "good morning". Did she spend the night there, or did she open up before he arrived, if so did he give her the keys and alarm codes - to someone he had just met the previous evening. Did he not think it suspicious that she seemed to spend the whole time cleaning one bit of counter.
What sort of jewellers was it that had no other staff, did not lock the display cases, unless this was because it did not have any customers. Even though Bernie and Fern look similar, I am sure in close up they be able to see the difference. I don't think PC Tinkers special powers of investigation will be needed to solve this crime.

Corrie really is finding it difficult to come up with good believable story lines. Must have been putting all their efforts into getting Summer pregnant.

If the plan was to blame Bernie it was woeful because she was filmed doing the theft at a time when Bernie has an alibi.

[parkerman]

If the plan was to blame Bernie it was woeful because she was filmed doing the theft at a time when Bernie has an alibi.

But this is Corrie and the Weatherfield Police Force are well known for not carrying out any investigations before arresting and prosecuting people. That's why the wrong people always get arrested and all the murderers go free.

It's a good job we have two top notch lawyers resident in the street

[Snagglepus]

Where are they going with this asylum seeker story, the way Chesney was going on about it, it sounds like he will be taking some in. At least he has the room in his house.

[parkerman]

So because Chesney couldn't get Ryan on the phone, it means Bernie must be lying and guilty. Eh?

I also fail to understand the point Bernie was making that she had been stitched up by Fern because she made her stay in all afternoon and therefore had no alibi. But she (Fern) was seen in the shop in the morning by the owner when Bernie was working in the cafe.

This story is complete garbage.

[Dennis tanner]

I find Summer to be an unlikeable character. She is supposed to be really clever but he lacks common sense. It's a bit of a trait in soaps that clever people lack common sense.

[mysangry]

3 guardians and she still got pregnant. Sack them all.

love it!!

[Son of Cain]

I find Summer to be an unlikeable character. She is supposed to be really clever but he lacks common sense. It's a bit of a trait in soaps that clever people lack common sense.

I have never liked this summer, the original Summer was not very likeable, I found her arrogant and aloof, but could not see her getting pregnant. Problem when they recast characters, is it not just that they get a new head, but a new personality too. Same thing happened with Max. It seems that when they decide to take a character in a new direction they have to recast in order to do so. I would prefer they make the extra effort needed to write stories for the actors they already have.

[Jadefalcon]

It's hard, if not impossible to have any sympathy for Max when you think in the crap he put other people through. Karma has a way of biting back.

[Dennis tanner]

Whilst I really dislike Max, I have to remember that he was raised by David Platt.

[flappinfanny]

I like how Corrie remember their history, with Todd not going to Oxford, I had forgotten about that.

[bratface]

Whilst I really dislike Max, I have to remember that he was raised by David Platt.


Dennis,

I'm curious about your use of the word whilst. Do you use it in conversation or just in written speech?

[mysangry]

Where are they going with this asylum seeker story, the way Chesney was going on about it, it sounds like he will be taking some in. At least he has the room in his house.

Bit annoying having a double drip of asylum seekers (Todd and Chesney)
We are all aware of just how much our country is expected to be hospitable, but at the moment storylines

Maybe a story of one of the streets family going to a food bank, or sitting with no heating on, mat have more relevance😫😫😫

Why not just use the word while?

[Son of Cain]

Why not just use the word while?

Maybe because we are not Americans.
Brits tend to use "whilst", Americans ""While".

[bratface]

Maybe because we are not Americans.

Did I strike a nerve? I just have always thought that using the word whilst sounded pretentious, whether you are from the UK or the US. But I've seen it used in other countries as well.

[Dennis tanner]

Just my choice I guess. I hope it doesn't offend you.

[parkerman]

Did I strike a nerve? I just have always thought that using the word whilst sounded pretentious, whether you are from the UK or the US. But I've seen it used in other countries as well.

You may have noticed that there are many words that are different in American English and English English. Would you say, for example, it is pretentious to use the word lift instead of elevator or mobile phone instead of cell phone?

[bratface]

Just my choice I guess. I hope it doesn't offend you.

No, it doesn't offend me. Sorry, if I left that impression. I was just curious if you also used it while talking to people or whether or not you only used it in written speech. I watch a lot of things from the UK but only notice it in articles, comments, etc., not when people speak. So that is why I asked.

[bratface]

No. I don't know why it bothers me to be honest. It's just one of those things. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just curious if Dennis also used the word in conversation.

[Son of Cain]

No. I don't know why it bothers me to be honest. It's just one of those things. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just curious if Dennis also used the word in conversation.

While and whilst both have the same meaning, but you cannot always use whilst in place of while. We chatted for a while - correct. We chatted for a whist - incorrect.
While and whilst, both describe the time that something else is happening. While tends to be used to describe something that is happening at the same time at something else. Whilst used in contrast. Example: I watched TV while I waited for my taxi (cab), whilst my sister played games on her phone. Whilst may be considered old fashioned by some people. Just to complicate things further when can be used instead of while. The phone rang while/when I was up a ladder. Whereas can sometimes also be used instead of whilst.
My brain is hurting so I will stop here.

[LouiseP]

I say 'whilst' and so does my daughter . Pretentious ??? Really? I certainly would be offended if someone said I was pretentious or using a word was pretentious . It rather suggests Hyacinth Bouquet .

[LouiseP]

And what about saying unbeknownst instead of Unbeknown?. Is that pretentious?!

Pretentious? Moi?

Summer is not a good choice for being pregnant, too young, eating disorder, or being diabetic too!

I think Carla would be a good storyline, could be a new beginning for her and Peter

She probably has a brain tumour, coz soaps always copy each other, and it's happening now on Eastenders.

Well none of that story about Stephen and Audrey was contrived in the least was it? All seemed so natural and reasonable. First of all Audrey giving him her phone because Gail was texting her a lot and then deciding to seek an equity release on her house so she could take Sam to Norway almost immediately after Stephen had just robbed her by taking out the equity release himself. All perfectly normal.

Stephen was fine when he used to pop in and see Audrey very very occasionally. Mistake to try and make him more interesting

[parkerman]

Out of interest for any fine legal minds on here....What is the position now with Audrey's house? If Stephen nips off round the world and Audrey attempts to obtain an equity release on her house, she will be told there is already an equity release scheme in place on the house. Presumably Audrey will be able to prove that she didn't apply for it (I watch Medical Detectives and know they can tell when a signature is a forgery!). So, I assume the loser would be the company that took on the equity release and not Audrey. Does that sound right?

I think Sam wants to know why Harvey turned bad.
I think Sam will discover that Harvey never played chess or looked at the moon through a telescope when he was young, and that he only had a Chipper cycle when his mates rode on Choppers.
He will tell Sam that he was only selling drugs until he got the money he needed to bid for a Johnny Seven OMA on eBay. Sam will offer to make him one using sticky back plastic and toilet roll tubes if he repents his sins which Harvey agrees to, then to his surprise Sam presents him one he had made earlier.

I'm a Corrie fan who follows cricket - in fact I watched today's final?..but I didn't understand your post either.

I could be wrong but maybe it's because Ben Stokes looks like Gary (or the other way round)?

Where will Adam get the money to pay Dee Dee, he seems to do most of his work for free?

Hmm seems only a couple of weeks back, Max was scared of the school bullies and now he's setting himself against someone bigger than him!

This was predictable.

If Dozy Stu ever gets round to claiming compo, she will be due a percentage

If the wonderful Dee Dee was a lawyer in the US of A how was she qualified to practice it the UK. Yet another crazy coincidence. Almost as crazy as Stu's wife and daughter admitting their parts in the death of his former lover and getting convicted the next day or did I fall asleep for a year while the DPP investigated Stu's wrongful conviction and carried out a full investigation int what actually happened. The wheels of justice in Weatherfield are remarkably swift. Good job the did away with the death penalty.

As far as I know, it's not uncommon for British barristers to represent people in the USA.

However, it's all rather silly. Stu's whinging has got his daughter locked up for murder while in Emmerdale, Cain is willing to face a life sentence rather than have an accidental shooting, committed by his 10 year old son, properly investigated

A busy day for Craigie.

A busy day for Craigie.

Craigie arrests Fern AKA 'Bob' He must be due some sort of recognition.

I must remember to stop feeding those grey squirrels.

When will it dawn on Eliza that it was that nice granddad making a fuss, that has got her mom locked up for murder ?

I wish Alya would stop shouting at people without having proof that they were responsible for attacks on businesses and people. And David should sit down with Max and speak to him calmly, not shout at him all the time although I think Max is feeling a little unsure now about what he is being told by Griff and co.
