Can Stephen's story get any more silly.
I wouldn't know, I have been fast forwarding every time Stephen appears on the screen for a couple of weeks now. It has made Corrie much more watchable. I highly recommend it.

The drunken state he was in, I would not think he was capable of the full sex act, but there is no doubt he sexually asaulted her.

If he started it but could not manage to the end it is still rape.

Then after the effort Debbie made to get him out of the room she and the cleaner just went off and left him
...and didn't get the cleaners keys from the table which was what they were after in the first place.

Finished how? If he penetrated (with his penis, finger, etc.) her without her legal consent then it's rape. At least here in the US, I don't know what the legalities are in the UK.

he may have passed out and only removed her underwear, but not actually did something.
It does happen!

Yes, I noticed that too, I think it possible that Elaine took the master key in with her too, but I am not sure if she did, as it was difficult to see if she still had it in her hand..
If they stayed there all night, I wonder if they paid for the room?

I think even if you gagged him and tied him to a lamp post he would believe what anyone said. He is so obsessed with the idea of him and Daisy that I do not think anything would convince him otherwise. Obviously he has Mental Health problems and needs professional help.

If Daisy does kill Justin I do not think she will be thinking about getting away with it. She will be driven to it in desperation, and just snap, in an all consuming, rage and stab him with a kitchen knife or hit him on the head with a heavy object.

Problems is if Justin goes to the police, Daniel will probably be arrested. Another name in Tinker's notebook. Pretty soon he will have arrested all his neighbours.

I didn't understand the attitude of the magistrates. The allegation that the complainant's fiancee might have attacked him, should be evidence that an order was required.

Why would anyone be asking for an order if it wasn't necessary and why would an alleged stalker be asking that the order not be made unless they wanted to carry on stalking ?

The magistrates decision was pushing credibility just too far. Daniel attacking Justin should not have had any bearing on whether or not Justin was stalking Daisy. It should have been treated as a separate matter. They had the evidence of his text messages to her, and how when she changed her number he made the effort to get the new number and continue messaging her, should evidence he was stalking her. He entered the house and did not leave when asked. He was told by the magistrates to avoid future contact with her, but the first thing he does is go to the pub to see her. Why did she not phone the police immediately? It becomes more and more obvious that this is leading up to someone dying.

Stu is suppose to be a chef, I doubt any chef would leaving rice on a stove boiling or simmering. Pasta and rice are notorious for suddenly boiling over, as the water evaporates. I still think it is lazy writing, he could just have said he had to get the tea ready. Sometines they give too much detail, sometimes not enough. It is this lack of attention to detail in small things that leads to writing stories that are unrealistic and have no credibility.

Yes. Happened to us twice. It's an issue for the vast majority of pet owners.

I would always trust a vet who advised putting the animal to sleep rather than one who advised you to pay for expensive treatment on the chance it might work.

As Paul's solicitor, why hasn't Dee Dee advised him to apply for ESA, PIP and other disability and out-of-work benefits instead of talking about charities that could help?

Also, good to see the Weatherfield Health Service still outperforming the UK's NHS. GP one day, appointment with the specialist the next.

Maybe I'm mistaken but didn't Dee Dee come from a successful law firm in America - probably hasn't heard of benefits - How can she practice law here?

This will be his word against her word, and since both admit to being so drunk they cannot remember details of what happened it is unlikely a prosecution would result in a conviction. What this story does show is the dangers of drinking so much that you pass out. Soap characters frequently set out to deliberately get blind drunk, blootered, sozzled or kale-eyed, it seems to be the answer to any pressure or upset experienced in their lives. I have been all of the above at sometime in my life but I never set out deliberately to do so.

I saw a police documentary a couple of years ago when a police investigator said the abbreviation had been changed to RTC, saying there was no such thing as an 'accident'. There was always a reason behind the cause - whether driver concentration, mechanical failure of the vehicle, not paying attention to weather conditions, etc.

That's one of the reasons I watch Corrie - for the humour.
It's a soap that doesn't always take itself too seriously and I love the obvious bad jokes the characters make, but also the more hidden humour.
Although the 'spunk' was a surprise for me hearing Mary saying it, it was very funny at the same time.

Sorry to hear of your experience. - Yes Paul did insist on knowing, but since the doctor herself admitted more tests were needed to confirm if he does have MND she could have said that they did not know yet what was wrong. That would be a truth and save him from premature worrying. If further tests do confirm he does have MND, then it will be time to tell him, and destroy any hope he has of recovery.

The thing I couldn't understand about the doctor was when she said she would try and get an appointment with the specialist for Paul as soon as possible. This is Weatherfield, surely she could have got the appointment that same afternoon.

Just a pity the Weatherfield Police are not as proficient as the medics - well except for PC Tinkler

I guessed the reference you were making, but had never heard it used before.
I googled it and found these two definitions:

1. The Chokey is a torture device featured in the book and Roald Dahl film versions of Matilda. Closely resembling an iron maiden, the Chokey is designed to be narrow that no one can sit or squat while in it. Its measurement is said to be 10 inches and is filled with broken glass sticking out in the walls with nails on the door.

2. A somewhat dated British slang word to describe a prison.
I take it you're not a teenager then Dennis, using that 'dated' expression - ha ha!

I think you are right that she did place her order. We saw her coming from another part of the restuarant through an open doorway, In the background we could see the toilet door, so she may have went there after placing her order.

I noticed Billy said to Paul: 'They're refurbishing the organ this afternoon. Wanna come with me?'

I'm probably being pedantic here, and it was used as a throwaway line. However, Billy didn't say 'starting on refurbishing the organ this afternoon.'
As someone who spent a few years in another area of church restoration work, organ restoration isn't something that will be undertaken 'in an afternoon'.
At a minimum it will be many days, probably weeks, depending on the scale of the job.

Amazing last night that Sarah and Damon sleep together because he is going away to prison for 15 yrs so it will be a one off sympathy shag. Suddenly in Weatherfield Damon's successful brief and his equally successful assistant discover a paragraph in a letter which will get the case tossed out of court. What a remarkable coincidence for a back street lawyer who just happens to be married to the new Gangsters Moll.

I do not know much about the contraceptive pill, but I believe it is unlikely that a woman would get pregnant immediately after stopping taking it. If she had not said to Adam that she was not going to take it that night, they could have written the story as she had forgotten to take it the night she slept with Adam. And it was not too late for the morning after pill. Pretty slack writing.

I agree but then again I am surprised that she was working in America and can just come over to the UK and start work as a Barrister. The whole story is nonsensical. As for just suddenly finding out about the delay in the police logging the drugs into their store this is more crap. The first thing a real barrister would have done was to check continuity of the evidence from the time of arrest to confirmation they were drugs to preparing evidence for court. It's the Drug squad we are talking about not some everyday copper.

CS is getting more like a Yanky Soap Opera. Nothing normal or believable about this show nowadays, as highly enjoyable as part of this is, in the long run will do the show more harm than good. The flash back scenes were so not Corrie. I thought Jon Sen was bad at EastEnders but Iain MacLeod has nothing on him at Corrie.
