Ahhh Those Summer nights

Tell me more! Tell me more!

[Dennis tanner]

Tell me more! Tell me more!

Amazing !!!!

[lizann]

did aaron put up a fight

[bratface]

I just read that Ms. Gibson is the new Doctor Who companion! That's quite a step up. Congrats Ms. Gibson.

But I haven't really watched since Tennant stepped down, could never get used to Smith & didn't want to pay to see the next two Whos.

[Perdita]

Spider has noticed Max not being in school, nor is Lauren as a rule .. so how come the schools have not been in touch with the parents yet?

I expect you'll be watching it again now that David Tennant has returned as The Doctor.

[Perdita]

He is not back for long though, Ncuti Gatwa will take over as 15th Doctor Who

[lizann]

he was is the best dw

[Dennis tanner]

Toyah would never believe that Spider was a Police Officer and neither would I.

[bratface]

I expect you'll be watching it again now that David Tennant has returned as The Doctor.

But not really, it will just be 3 special episodes for the 60th anniversary (and that is a year from now). I also wish that it was Rose instead of Donna & bring back Jack Harkness.

Funny thing, I didn't really like Doctor Who until Eccleston took over as the 9th doctor & then it took me a while to get used to Tennant, mainly because I had recently seen the two-part TV series 'Secret Smile', he was so CREEPY. But he quickly grew on me.

[flappinfanny]

The Max storyline is hard hitting but so far CS are doing this well. I loved Roy this week.

Griff needs to give Max a loyalty test. How would he react? I always love Roy.

[LouiseP]

Bored with the Max storyline. Corrie loves to have someone wrongly accused . Spider, although anyone less likely to be a detective is hard to imagine. .

Now the story of racist has reared its ugly head, what about women being targeted for daring to be free.
Who can forget the Rochdale nightmare😫
Cs is doing good with real life issues.

No cant see corra stepping of the PC box

Are you talking about 1970s/80s BBC DJs?

[Perdita]

Are you talking about 1970s/80s BBC DJs?

I think mysangry means that in 2012, the revelation that nine Asian men were guilty of the grooming, rape and sex trafficking of teenage white girls shocked the nation.

[Son of Cain]

Toyah would never believe that Spider was a Police Officer and neither would I.

I would love to have seen the episode where Spider decided to join the police. Especially as he was always pretty anti-establishment.

[Son of Cain]

I would have thought that restorative justice sessions would take place in a private room, not the prison visiting area.

[parkerman]

I had thought (hoped) that all this play nonsense was over and done with. Sadly, if anything, it is getting worse.

Is there only a cast of two?

[Son of Cain]

We should be thankful if there is only two. Think how much more of this woeful tale we would be subjected to if the cast was bigger.

[Son of Cain]

I think I am being unkind, but Stuart is starting to annoy me.

[parkerman]

I think I am being unkind, but Stuart is starting to annoy me.

I'm beginning to agree, but I think we have to make allowances. He is just trying to do his best for his granddaughter but really has no idea how to go about it - after all he was in prison for 27 years or something and then slept rough on the streets with no contact with his family. He is also very sensitive to the fact that it is due to him (in one sense) that her mother is in prison so that's another difficult issue for him to deal with.

I acknowledge everything you say. I do not even know why he annoys me, perhaps it's because it's because he does not seem to know when to stop talking. Maybe being locked up for so long with no one to talk to, he is making up for lost time.

Stu's best solution would be to buy her a bus pass

[Dennis tanner]

If the Soap awards introduce a 'Most deluded parents' category, Tyrone and Fiona would be easy winners.

[Son of Cain]

What we all want to know, well, I want to know, is. Did Tyrone get his hammer back?

Did Tyrone carry the desk upstairs after he finished assembling it? If so, would it not have been easier to assemble it upstairs?

All good questions. A cage would have been better than a desk.

A non-flammable cage.

In reality yes, but there is no upstairs really :nono: .. ;)

So where do the stairs go to ???

[parkerman]

So where do the stairs go to ???

Have you ever seen the upstairs?

[Perdita]

So where do the stairs go to ???

The whole set only has the ground floors, lounges/kitchen/diners, actors walk up the stairs when needed and then wait for the cameras to stop rolling...

[LouiseP]

The whole set only has the ground floors, lounges/kitchen/diners, actors walk up the stairs when needed and then wait for the cameras to stop rolling...

The stairs lead to a platform where the actors stand and wait till the scene has ended, as Perdita said.

[Snagglepus]

Once we seen Les and Cilla's 'bedroom' with the hot tub/jacuzzi, and it went through the floor when the dog jumped in with them.

[Perdita]

Yes, but I think that was also on the ground floor created with special effects :p

[bratface]

Didn't they show Ruby & Hope in 'their bedroom' a couple of years ago? And isn't there also an attic where Hope hid Joseph?

[LouiseP]

Didn't they show Ruby & Hope in 'their bedroom' a couple of years ago? And isn't there also an attic where Hope hid Joseph?

They are all sets on the ground floor of the studio.

[bratface]

They are all sets on the ground floor of the studio.

Yes, I know that BUT I was pointing out that they did show the bedroom & when they showed Fizz going up the ladder to the attic.

[flappinfanny]

I quite liked Ken and Martha together again.

[Dennis tanner]

So Tracy didn't really spend years in her bedroom till she got a new head.

[Perdita]

Yes, I know that BUT I was pointing out that they did show the bedroom & when they showed Fizz going up the ladder to the attic.

[parkerman]

I was sorry when they split up in the first place.

[Snagglepus]

Has Kenneth had new teeth fitted?
His voice is beginning to sound more like Kenneth Williams, not to say his looks too.

[Perdita]

I was sorry when they split up in the first place.

I cannot see it lasting this time round either, I am afraid... :nono:

[Perdita]

He is 90 now, doing very well to still be working. I agree, his speech seems different lately, maybe he has new dentures

[Dennis tanner]

If Harvey didn't need votes to stay in 'Strictly' would he really be offering Nick money for the Bistro ? I doubt it.

[parkerman]

New for Christmas (or earlier hopefully).

Stephen organises a minibus outing to Blackpool for himself, Summer, Billy, Mary, Sean, Nigel, Aaron, Leanne and Spider. Sadly (!) the minibus crashes killing all occupants.

There are a few seats still available on the minibus. Any ideas for others who might benefit Corrie by going on the trip?

World renowned playwright and director now earning a living putting on a play for two people in Weatherfield.

Thanks, parkerman, I haven't been watching regularly & when I googled Nigel + Corrie Street, only old characters came up. I had noticed people mentioning here something about a play but I thought it was just 'banter' or maybe sarcasm. I should do some 'catch-up'.

[Dennis tanner]

Was it Billy that said that The Amazing Summer would make an An Amazing mother ?

Rehab didn't work first time, why would it work a second time ?

Poor Vain Proud Stephen. If he had told his mommy the truth a few months ago, he wouldn't be in all this trouble.

Steve and Tim...Unbelievably daft.

Yes Todd, He's now your type after all.

Esther and smug Mike

Esther and smug Mike

They wont be very smug soon. I wonder why they couldn't go down the legal route ?

Tracey.

I wish Ken would tell her to mind her own business when it comes to him entertaining ladies. Deirdre forgave him, time Tracy did :angry:

Google tells me:

Tales from serviceland... The phrase 'there's a rabbit off somewhere' is a common one in my tales - a geordie expression roughly translated as 'hang on - that can't be right!'

Always good of Corrie to remind us that their scriptwriters haven't the first idea how Councils work nor have the will or ability to do any research to find out.

[Snagglepus]

The Steve MacDonald character becomes more pathetic by the episode.

Fiona and Tyronne. Mistake, after mistake, after mistake.

He can do better than what the scriptwriters are giving him though. That spat with Tim was cringeworthy rather than funny.

He can stop pulling faces though.🤡

Eileen was the odd one out in that farcical sketch in the cab office, she was speaking in a normal voice and didn't have a gormless face.

Irene was the odd one out in that farcical sketch in the cab office, she was speaking in a normal voice and didn't have a gormless face.

Irene? Do you mean Eileen?

Maybe he is told to make them?

[Son of Cain]

Always good of Corrie to remind us that their scriptwriters haven't the first idea how Councils work nor have the will or ability to do any research to find out.

It looked like Maria was chairing that Council meeting. Normally I would have thought that The Leader of the Council or The Mayor would Chair, not a newly elected member.

Maria seemed to be able to introduce new items for discussion without having them included on the agenda. If they were added under additional business, they would be discussed at the end of the meeting, and in my experience most meetings ran out of time before they got that far,

[Dennis tanner]

Summer disgusts Mike...and me. She's not amazing. She's a very bad girl.

[parkerman]

Summer disgusts Mike...and me. She's not amazing. She's a very bad girl.

Indeed. She is very passive aggressive and a mistress of manipulation. She has everyone around her doing just what she wants, however bad it is. And when found out looks helpless, plays the injured party and begs for sympathy.

[bratface]

Why is this character suddenly being drummed down our neck?
can't be the storyline, as there are far more important subjects that could be scripted.

GEt rid of her quick, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Snagglepus]

The article by Bethany Platt, A GIRL, HER MUM, HER MUM'S MUM AND HER MUM'S MUM WALK INTO A STRIP CLUB... doesn't read right,
Daniel needs to look at it again.

[LouiseP]

At least with Tracy what you see is what you get. With The Amazing Summer what you see is not what you get. What you see is a pathetic little mouse but she isn?t!!

I haven't watched from the beginning, I think I started watching sometime in the 90s when it was on a Canadian station, after they stopped airing Emmerdale. I don't remember Tracy being so 'in your face' back then.

She was a clever and manipulative child/teenager & it looks like Summer is heading in the same direction. Their 'styles' are a little different but...?

I thought she spent the whole of her child years upstairs in her room only emerging as she entered her teenage years.

[Dennis tanner]

I thought she spent the whole of her child years upstairs in her room only emerging as she entered her teenage years. No. That was only for a half hour twice a week.

[Son of Cain]

I see that Corrie are making the same mistake that Eastenders did with their surrogate story. Summer is too young to be a legal surrogate, she would never be accepted having not long turned 19.

[parkerman]

I see that Corrie are making the same mistake that Eastenders did with their surrogate story. Summer is too young to be a legal surrogate, she would never be accepted having not long turned 19.

I believe the surrogate has to be over 21.

Good to see Summer being consistent and manipulative to the end.

Talking of the end, can we dare to hope that the ridiculous play story has come to an end? At least it ended as it began (and continued throughout) with a completely nonsensical and unbelievable episode.

[flappinfanny]

So Martha and Wendy go off into the sunset to Hull. Poor Hull, what did they do to do deserve this duo.

[Ruffed_lemur]

I feel like we are being tortured watching her pathetic whinging, and her hideous clothes, and if I hear any more of her "diabetes" arghh, far more people have this and cope very well without reminding those around them.

I hope Aaron has the sense to escape whilst he can, best thing she ever did was dump him now he can run a mile, no idea what he saw in her????????

Yes they did for some daft reason invented by Cathy.

No idea. I thought the only job he ever had was delivering stuff from the chippie

[Son of Cain]

Why does Silly Billy not realize that all he has to do, to stop Summer being a surrogate, is check out the legal age to be one. If they are doing it legitimately, it should be done through a fertility clinic and they will not allow someone under age to do so. It is unlikely that Mike and Esther's solicitor, unless he is dodgy, would draw up a proper contract.

He's not known as Silly Billy for no good reason. In any case, Mike still wants to try.

I just love Glenda behind the bar, the best barmaid in soap for a very long time. Jodie Prenger is a perfect fit for Corrie.

[parkerman]

A very sad and distressing storyline about Daisy possibly having breast cancer. The only bit of bright news for her is that she lives in Weatherfield where their Health Service, unlike the rest of the UK's NHS, can sort out hospital appointments and tests with less than a day's notice.

Did Brian & Cathy 'break up'?

Yes, back in the summer, she was unhappy in the relationship and went to live with a friend in Chorlton. In real life, Melanie Hill wanted to leave to take care of her elderly mother.

The last time I really paid any attention to them was back when Brian wanted to move to Cornwall after their seaside holiday.

Has Summer left then?
Hope so, not an endearing character, Don't care about her at all.

Minimum age to be a surrogate is 21. So how does she hope to lie through that one? In hospital, with the midwife where they check and double check name, dob, NHS number etc ? Is she going to pretend that Mike is the father ?

Max seemed remarkably unmarked considering he was sat a few feet away from an exploding bomb.

[parkerman]

Max seemed remarkably unmarked considering he was sat a few feet away from an exploding bomb.

Yes, and Spider's superior said they went straight off and found the car but it had been cleaned out, so they found "no DNA, no fingerprints nor evidence of explosives." Griff's mates seem to have made a pretty thorough job of cleaning the car in the short time they had. Something the police could well learn a lesson from! As a keen follower of Medical Detectives on CBS Reality TV, car searches are a common part of the process of finding evidence and it takes days, sometimes weeks, to go through a car thoroughly, looking for minute traces of fibre, skin cells, prints, hair, blood etc. that can be used in evidence. Blood, in particular, is very hard to remove, even with bleach. A quick spray with Luminol and there it is. And, surely, going back to your point, SoC, there must have been a good bit of blood spilt in an explosion like that.

It's a shame the Weatherfield Police are not as efficient as their Health Service!

[Son of Cain]

I am really not engaging with this racism story, or for that matter any of the current storylines. Except perhaps the "George and the Chesterfield" story, because something is bound to go wrong, and I cannot think what it will be. I was not interest in "The Play", lothario Ken's love life, Tyrone's secret wedding, again this will not run smoothly. Or Nick's never ending money worries and now his involvement with more comedy gangstars not to forget Leanne inevitably shouting and being rude and nasty to everyone whose path she crosses. I know racism is a serious matter, but Griff and his gang including unlikely undercover cop Spider come across to me like cartoon characters, and Max looks like he is permanently stoned on Ganja. I have long lost track of Stephen's plots and machinations, indeed it could be said that I have lost the plot. I am just thankful that we have been seeing less of Stu and Alya recently. Come back Mrs Cranshaw, pop into the cabin and reminisce with Brian about highs and lows of being a headteacher.

I agree. I think the racism story is important but, as with all these types of story in Corrie, it is not being very well portrayed. As you say, Griff and his mates are completely unbelievable. They are like the Keystone Cops of racists. The story deserves to have so much better treatment.

Except perhaps the "George and the Chesterfield" story, because something is bound to go wrong, and I cannot think what it will be. I was not interest in "The Play", lothario Ken's love life, Tyrone's secret wedding, again this will not run smoothly. Or Nick's never ending money worries and now his involvement with more comedy gangstars not to forget Leanne inevitably shouting and being rude and nasty to everyone whose path she crosses. I know racism is a serious matter, but Griff and his gang including unlikely undercover cop Spider come across to me like cartoon characters, and Max looks like he is permanently stoned on Ganja. I have long lost track of Stephen's plots and machinations, indeed it could be said that I have lost the plot. I am just thankful that we have been seeing less of Stu and Alya recently. Come back Mrs Cranshaw, pop into the cabin and reminisce with Brian about highs and lows of being a headteacher.


Tyrone's secret wedding? Who did he marry?

[parkerman]

Tyrone's secret wedding? Who did he marry?

He's planning a secret wedding to Fiz on Christmas Day.

[Dennis tanner]

He's planning a secret wedding to Fizz on Christmas Day.

Normal vicars have a free day after a short morning service. They have the rest of the day off to spend with friends and families. Soap vicars are made to do extra, but it makes up for the fact that those like Silly Billy do very little for the rest of the year.

The wedding is in a hotel, so probably will not involve a vicar.

[LouiseP]

And when Ty said to the girls to keep the wedding a secret Hope said,

? So you want us to lie??

? Yes, Hope. Think you can manage that??

[Dennis tanner]

Would cost a fortune to have such a do on Christmas day, but Tryone is loaded isn't he.

As well as getting a booking on Christmas Day at short notice!

[Son of Cain]

Soap's don't consider things like money, almost every Christmas there will be a wedding or a birth. Must be more Christmas Day birthdays in Soapland than real life.

[parkerman]

As well as getting a booking on Christmas Day at short notice!

There is always, always, a "last minute cancellation". It's a staple line when booking any event in Corrie.

It's as common as a big cooked breakfast cooked and refused.

[parkerman]

So, just to get this straight...Spider joined the police force specifically to combat far right groups and, lo and behold, that was precisely the job he was assigned to as an undercover cop.

[flappinfanny]

I quite enjoyed that ep tonight, nothing too dramatic, it had a Christmas feel about it, with a mix of light and shade.

[Dennis tanner]

It would appear that for some time he has been very well paid for doing very little.

Spider to Toyah: Now you know it, can you keep it under wraps? :ninja: Of course she cannot, she is way too sanctimonious for that.

[Son of Cain]

Spider to Toyah: Now you know it, can you keep it under wraps? :ninja: Of course she cannot, she is way too sanctimonious for that.

When has anyone in a soap ever kept a secret? - Will this lead to Griff finding out, and put Spider's life in danger? - Perhaps even have Max be the one to "finally see the light" and save him?

[Perdita]

So George has managed his funeral business successfully for many years but suddenly orders a sofa for a doll's house because the website was not clear enough??? Do me a favour, Corrie scriptwriters... stop this nonsense NOW!!

[Dennis tanner]

I do not feel guilty for not caring about Max. As for the Spider Police story....ridiculous.

He said he did not mind spending money on Eileen, but a dolls house sofa costs about ?20, a real one over a ?1000 at least, so it seems he was not prepared to spend very much on her after all. Surely the price alone should have been a clue. Idea stolen from a woman who was reported to have bought doll's house garden furniture by mistake, and Sarah Pascoe who bought a miniature chest of drawers on a late night eBay auction after drinking, as shown on "Would I Lie to You".

[tammyy2j]

Any storyline with Max and Summer I tune out

I was under the impression he paid a fair bit for the Chesterfield??

[Snagglepus]

So, someone passing at just the right time to see the Barlows et al leaving the house, climbs up the scaffolding unseen and gets into the open window, not knowing if there was anyone else still in there.

[Son of Cain]

I was under the impression he paid a fair bit for the Chesterfield??

Then he was robbed.

[parkerman]

Well I thought tonight's Christmas Day Corrie was actually quite good. Some great humorous one liners, particularly from Evelyn (welcome back!), the Registrar and Ty. A bit like the good old days. And good to see Chris Cringle (aka Father Christmas) play his part in the happy ending.

[mysangry]

What's wrong with CS these days?
To much trying to have stories for PC matters. (Latest being racism)
Yea we get it, can we please move onto stories that affect most people, not just PC issues.

People cannot put heating on, are having to go to food banks, many are striking for better lives, yet no one seems to be aware of real issues.

[Dennis tanner]

I still don't understand why they are so worried about Max, the obnoxious little git with a daft voice.

Daisy should have been asking, "Would you be proposing to me if I didn't get good news a few days earlier?"

[RogerOver]

While they were waiting for Fiz to get her act together, we had this gem:
The registrar (worried about his next appointment): Congestion at Knutsford Services.
Kevin: I had a pair of trousers like that.

Is the garage open on Christmas DAy?

Yes, they advertise 365 days a year for emergencies and Kevin answered Fiz's phone call.

Sick of the white Racist storyline, seems Corra must be ticking off as many PC subjects that it can cover.

What's your definition of a PC subject?

[Snagglepus]

All this talk about Fat Balls, Penes, and pulling off Tom Jones will have Ena Sharples turning in her grave.
Is this how Corrie is to get its laughs now.

[flappinfanny]

yes :D

[Dennis tanner]

yes :D It's Carry on Corrie.

[RogerOver]

It's Carry on Corrie.

Ooh err, matron.
The reason I like Corrie is because of the humour - the innuendos, the silly jokes, the hidden humour (quite a lot of that).
Corrie doesn't take itself too seriously. Never mind pulling a pint of Newton & Ridley, carry on pulling off Tom Jones - please!

[parkerman]

With their always exhaustive research and fine attention to detail and accuracy, now that Summer is seeing a solicitor about a possible surrogacy, that storyline will be all over with as the solicitor would have told her it is illegal before the age of 21.

Sorry, have to go now as I have just spotted some pigs flying past my window.

[flappinfanny]

Mike and Esther are very sinister not that I have any sympathy for Summer.

Question: Why would Ches want to marry Gemma? Why would anybody want to marry her?

[flappinfanny]

Taken from Digital Spy so can't take the credit, but did make me smile:-

Roy will be able to communicate with the bats using his new smartphone

[Dennis tanner]

Question: Why would Ches want to marry Gemma? Why would anybody want to marry her?

I don't want any excuses about not having the money Chesney. It's just a trip to the Registrar office followed by drinks and nibbles at the Rovers.

[parkerman]

I've got a good idea for a storyline...Stephen murders Summer in full view of Craigie, who arrests him immediately.

Two tedious, dreary, tiresome, boring and seemingly endless storylines dealt with in one blow.

[Dennis tanner]

Every time they talk about Summer being pregnant she looks about 12 years old .

Spider...Trully hopeless. That's what happens when you use an untrained officer.

Griff, " I reckon you're a Policeman"
Spider, Smiles, agrees and says, "What are you planning then ?"

Give me strength !!!!!!!!!

[Son of Cain]

The crowbar emerges again! - I reckon I see more crowbars in Soaps than I do in real life, even though I do have one in the garage.I find it difficult to understand why Soaps pick it as the weapon of choice? How many people in the real world actually own one? - How many on here have one?

[mysangry]

What is it with the woman around Stephen, are they really so gullible and naive to swallow his manipulative vocal tripe!
The list grows, Sarah, Audrey, Carla, Elaine, Gail, Jenny.
I would have thought Shona and Lily next but they are conveniently going to London for a while, so Shona can stop hiding under huge overgrown clothes and cushions.

[mysangry]

Oh yea, like idea of Jenny's new lodger, might balance the female to Male ratio currently on the street.
Big lack of your typical English testosterone Male on the street.

Plus Teddy can start stirring Stephen up🤣

Would be great if Stephen hadn't actually died, (remember no body has been found!) And appeared with his Dad behind the ba😱😱

It is Leo that is missing, presumed dead .. Stephen is the one that did the dirty deed :D

[lizann]

where is leo's body? it was in a bin, let teddy play stephen play amnesiac, little lily bless her a brilliant footballer how original she was never shown playing or even outside much

[parkerman]

where is leo's body? it was in a bin,
Stephen took him out of the bin and buried him.

[Snagglepus]

little lily bless her a brilliant footballer how original she was never shown playing or even outside much

Will she return with the same head?

Will she return with the same head?

As long as she has the same feet, that's what matters!

where rick was, that was dug and emptied

It is strange and sad that no local teams were interested.

But then Shona couldn't have disappeared to cover maternity leave.

[Dennis tanner]

But then Shona couldn't have disappeared to cover maternity leave.

She could have been replaced by another actress for a few months.

[Son of Cain]

I thought Jacob had already left Underworld, did he not tell Carla he was leaving?

[Son of Cain]

Has women's football reached a level that they are signing 9 year olds? Even if it has, would they need Lily to spend 6 weeks in London before doing So?

[Son of Cain]

No one can say that Spider has not done a good job. He has got himself banged over the head with a crowbar, so now they can arrest Griff for attempted murder of a police officer.

[Jadefalcon]

Gemma reminds me of Ms Pac-Man, every time she talks its like her mouth has got to be open as wide as possible, or the Visitors from the old V series when they were eating hamsters. I'd happily get rid of Gemma, Bernie and Beth.

[Son of Cain]

Not much of a bomb, more like a damp squib, the van was still mostly intact, exept for the fire, did not even blow the windscreen out. Alya only got hurt because she was inside the van or half way out of it.

[parkerman]

Alya's cunning plan was almost as good as one of Baldrick's - but not quite.

[LouiseP]

Oh yea, like idea of Jenny's new lodger, might balance the female to Male ratio currently on the street.
Big lack of your typical English testosterone Male on the street.

You mean Leo hadn?t actually died. Wishful thinking it was Stephen.

[Dennis tanner]

No one can say that Spider has not done a good job. He has got himself banged over the head with a crowbar, so now they can arrest Griff for attempted murder of a police officer.

That's one way of looking at it. His evidence in respect of the bomb will be non existent.

Very crafty of Alya to wait untill the very last second before leaving the van.

[Dennis tanner]

Gemma reminds me of Ms Pac-Man, every time she talks its like her mouth has got to be open as wide as possible, or the Visitors from the old V series when they were eating hamsters. I'd happily get rid of Gemma, Bernie and Beth.

Gemma and her mother are idiots. All she needed to do was tell him not to use sign language at school.

[Perdita]

I think he did die... there was a body in a rubbish skip .. looked like Leo... lol

I was correcting mysangry who said ?Stephen? instead of Leo who had died.

Why shouldn't he use sign language at school?

[LouiseP]

Why shouldn't he use sign language at school?

Why does he want to ?

[Perdita]

Why shouldn't he use sign language at school?

I like the idea, he can teach his peers and it might make some of his friends go and learn SL. I get that there are no teachers and none of his classmates would understand him yet but they will as time goes on...

[parkerman]

Why does he want to ?

Because he knows what it's like to have a deaf brother and he was trying to teach some of the other kids some words in sign language in case they should ever need it to communicate with a deaf person so that person wouldn't feel left out, lonely and isolated. Seems like a good thing to me.

Put it another way, why does the school want to ban it?

[Snagglepus]

Why does he want to ?

He was teaching them the offside rule in BSL.
Something everyone needs to know.

[Dennis tanner]

Why shouldn't he use sign language at school? Sign language is for deaf people.

[parkerman]

Sign language is for deaf people.

So why teach French or German or other languages in schools? They're for French people and German people.

[Perdita]

Sign language is for deaf people.
And those that have had experience with family or friends that have deaf people, .. like Gemma in Corrie and the current storyline..

[Dennis tanner]

And those that have had experience with family or friends that have deaf people, .. like Gemma in Corrie and the current storyline.. The people that you mention need to know. Everyone else doesn't.

Teaching languages in schools is for pupils in senior schools.

[mysangry]

I was correcting mysangry who said ?Stephen? instead of Leo who had died.
I'm sure when we were shown Leo in the skip and being dragged away, his position had changed?
Maybe he was "playing dead"

Thanks Louise, I had meant Leo, it's all the excitement that Corras giving us, when not talking bout Summer, I got confused.

Bits of the bomb would not have travelled very far with that little bang. But I hope they do and find evidence it was Stephen what killed him. I've given up trying to follow all of his plots and scheming, and just want him gone.

And now we have to prepare ourselves for more gangstery nonsense with Damon and The Bistro. We have come a long way from the days of Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst sipping a glass of stout in the snug.

So they are taking a page from US soaps & 'retconning' the storyline? 🙄

Thanks Dennis, I didn't think I had missed that important detail. Also, I read in one of the UK tabloids that Damon will be romancing one of the 'high-profile ladies'. Here's the blurb:

"As the year goes on, Damon has a magnetic attraction for a notable high-profile female character, who ends up having her head turned. That has far-reaching consequences."

So who do you think it might be? I personally think it should be Leanne. But if they make it Carla, I will no longer watch.

I think it would be Leanne because of their connection through The Bistro. They are already introducing tension between Leanne and Nick because he took Damon's investment without consulting her.

Please, I'm begging you Coronation Street. Please, please make it end. This Summer story is getting beyond torture now. It's definitely remote fast forward time now.

[Son of Cain]

Please, I'm begging you Coronation Street. Please, please make it end. This Summer story is getting beyond torture now. It's definitely remote fast forward time now.

Never mind remote fast forward, this story should not be going forward at any speed. Summer is simply not old enough to be a surrogate, full stop, and stop is what they should be doing with this story. If Summer went to a fertility clinic, it would be a short conversation before she was shown the way out.

[LouiseP]

Please, I'm begging you Coronation Street. Please, please make it end. This Summer story is getting beyond torture now. It's definitely remote fast forward time now.

If Summer went to a fertility clinic, it would be a short conversation before she was shown the way out.

But she has been to meetings where this was never raised, her 3 dads, who surely researched this, do not seem to know... she is 18, an adult and they cannot stop her doing from what she wants to do is all they are saying.... I sincerely hope that Summer might change her mind when Mike locks her into the nursery and leaves her without phone and her insulin but not holding my breath

[Son of Cain]

I sincerely hope that Summer might change her mind when Mike locks her into the nursery and leaves her without phone and her insulin but not holding my breath

Which just shows that Soaps ignore reality when it suits them for the sake of a story. Not only do you need to be 21, but I believe it is preferred if a surrogate has previously had a child.

[LouiseP]

This is so basic that surely Corrie must know. They only needed to google it ffs.

[parkerman]

Same with Max. Just when you think a storyline has come to a natural end Corrie prolongs the agony even more.

I have this awful feeling that Max will refuse to give evidence against Griff leading to his release. Which will ignore the fact that a) There were explosives in his car b) Spider has been following him all this time and will be able to give evidence against him c) He assaulted Spider and d) He assaulted David.

But, as we can see with the Summer storyline, Corrie never let facts get in the way of a story.
