If Rufus knew that Stephen made a habit of spiking drinks he would have been more careful.

Oh Wait...................

[RogerOver]

If Rufus knew that Stephen made a habit of spiking drinks he would have been more careful.

Oh Wait...................

That's a very good point - so obvious that I missed it completely.

No doubt following on from her success getting Damon acquitted, Dee Dee will spot this flaw when she represents Stephen in court at some point in the far distant future, and get him off, claiming Rufus didn't take adequate precautions when drinking with a mass murderer.

Do I get the job as a scriptwriter?

Double D will claim that it was Rufus's fault because he supplied the drug

[RogerOver]

Double D will claim that it was Rufus's fault because he supplied the drug

and therefore...suicide.

[Perdita]

She wasn't wearing a wig was she ?

No, the prosecution lawyer did but Dee-Dee did not

[Perdita]

Is Dee-Dee Adam's employee or partner in the law firm? Adam will find out about her knowing about Sarah's fling with Damon and that will cause problems, could she lose her job as employee? We have never been told where she qualified as lawyer, might have been in UK, she might have been working in LA for an international company advising on English law, she was in Brussels on a conference when she was expected to come to Ed's 55th birthday a couple of years ago so that could explain that she is qualified to work in UK.

[LouiseP]

Post Mortem ?

[RogerOver]

Post Mortem ?

That will show he died of an LSD overdose surely?
Seeing as he bought the drugs and passed them on to Stephen, there will be no one to volunteer having sold them to Rufus, and no one knows Rufus gave them to Stephen either.

They will know about the LSD but he died because he drowned.

[RogerOver]

They will know about the LSD but he died because he drowned.

I wonder if they might conclude Rufus drowned due to the LSD overdose?

I'm only saying that because the symptoms Carla had (and Stephen too when he accidentality drank Carla's laced drink), seemed to render them unable to function normally.
Could it be concluded Rufus fell in the pool and was unable to climb out, being incapable? It's purely a question, as I don't know.

[lizann]

stephen's tie pin which sean commented on will be found

[Perdita]

stephen's tie pin which sean commented on will be found

I am sure it will feature in Stephen's eventual downfall which is only about 7 months away :wall:

Yes it could well be refered to by the coroner.

[Dennis tanner]

I can't see any residents of Coronation street objecting to having a nightclub at the bottom of the street.

[Perdita]

Unless he gets a new contract?..

Now Now, we have been promised by the producer he will be found out by the end of the year... with 3 murders so far he should be eating porridge ( or be in the chokey ;) for at least 6 months

[lizann]

rita will be raving off her face

rita will be raving off her face

and the legend that is Dev will be opening very very late.

[Perdita]

I can't see any residents of Coronation street objecting to having a nightclub at the bottom of the street.

There was a petition to have all the cars removed that were causing air pollution on Coronation Street .. since then all cars are no longer seen :D .. surely the visitors to the nightclub will cause this again, either by using their own cars or using taxis???

Wasn't there talk of some new student accommodation? They won't be in cars, but will be using environmentally-friendly e-scooters while off their faces on drugs.

No. Don?t be silly.

My money's on Gary or Hope. Both pure evil.

[parkerman]

My money's on Gary or Hope. Both pure evil.

I'm guessing Roy as the scriptwriters decide it will be a good idea to suddenly change his personality for no reason at all, as they are already doing.

[Son of Cain]

That's a very good point - so obvious that I missed it completely.

No doubt following on from her success getting Damon acquitted, Dee Dee will spot this flaw when she represents Stephen in court at some point in the far distant future, and get him off, claiming Rufus didn't take adequate precautions when drinking with a mass murderer.

Do I get the job as a scriptwriter?

But Rufus did not know Stephen was a mass murderer so no cigar for Dee Dee.

[Son of Cain]

Post Mortem ?

Considering that the usual dose of LSD is only a small drop, the amount that Stephen poured into his drink was enough to send the whole of Weatherfield on a trip. Which should alert the police that Rufus may not have taken the drug willingly, unless of course it was suicide.

[Son of Cain]

Now Now, we have been promised by the producer he will be found out by the end of the year... with 3 murders so far he should be eating porridge ( or be in the chokey ;) for at least 6 months
Before that no doubt we will have to endure both Michael and Paul being wrongfully accused. Michael because he lied about seeing Rufus that night and Paul because he stole his car and was therefore at the house. An interesting twist could be if the tie pin is found and Michel knows about it, would he tell the police or would he use it to blackmail Stephen into giving him a good job?

[Son of Cain]

Looks like Rufus pulled it off when trying to get out of the pool.

The tie pin was already gone when Stephen pushed Rufus into the pool, but it was still there when they were drinking together and when he got up to help Rufus, so I presume it caught on the dressing gown while he was holding him.

Michael trying to blackmail Stephen? In that case - will the next murder victim come on down to the podium please...

[Son of Cain]

In that case please let it be Michael, his acting this week is beyond bad.

Good idea but by that stage Dee Dee will be representing Donald J Trump in Murica because he has heard about her huge successes on both sides of the Pond. Apparently her Facebook Law Degree has status higher than Harvard or Oxford.

[Son of Cain]

Does anyone here know the purpose of the police tape at the house, it is surely not to keep people out. Both Michael and Ronnie ducked under it and spoke to the woman in the police car while two police officers standing only feet away did nothing to stop them.

stephen was like an evangelist with his advice to michael then rufus murder flashback

Justin needs to hire Dee Dee. Surely the best solicitor in the world will have no problem getting him off.

How appropriate that her middle name is Ovder. Well done Dee Dee Ovder Bailey.

Almost as good as the Legend that was Marcus Christie

[RogerOver]

Andy Whyment who plays Kirk always keeps me entertained, he plays the character so well. Even last night talking about his underpants and the crown jewels was funny.

I see the evil little Hope has the chance to earn some blackmail money, having photographed Beth and her fancy man snogging.

[Son of Cain]

roy allergic to the dog?

Good way to pass the dog on to Evelyn.

Her Mum appears to have gone AWOL. Her Mum, the strict disciplinarian. NOT.

[Snagglepus]

What happed to the watch Peter found in his cab, did it belong to Rufus, did no one come looking for it?

[parkerman]

So when Adam kept going on about the practice having no clients apart from Damon, that wasn't true because Dee-Dee was working on Stu's case.

Yes claiming compo for being locked up for many years after pleading guilty.

Ryan was struggling with his injury and when the specialist mentioned a skin graft. Ryan responded with, "A bit of thigh slapped on me face."

At the risk of appearing flippant:
As a kid I had a perforated eardrum. I had a bit of skin from my backside grafted on to make a new eardrum.
Even now, my hearing's not great. I do manage to make a joke, saying, "Regarding people talking out of their a*se. At least I can hear out of mine."

I had this procedure done too but the surgeon used skin from behind my ear so sadly I cannot use your phrase .. lol

[RogerOver]

I had this procedure done too but the surgeon used skin from behind my ear so sadly I cannot use your phrase .. lol

I had this done over fifty years ago when I was about twelve.
I've lived in Thailand for the past twenty-five years. I went to see a hearing specialist here about my hearing degrading as I get older.
I told him about the skin graft for my perforated eardrum. The specialist examined my ear, saying, "I've heard about this being done years ago, but this is the first time I've actually seen it."
Ooh, that made me feel really old.

[Perdita]

So they took the bandage off Ryan's face but not his arm... :hmm:

[Son of Cain]

What happed to the watch Peter found in his cab, did it belong to Rufus, did no one come looking for it?

Did Peter not sell it to pay off Paul, so that he would not make a claim against Carla?

Obviously I'm no expert but I think it would be helpful to show Ryan a series of photo's of someone in his situation. Starting with a face like his and finishing with the same face after successful treatment.

I just wonder if she had not had got the early menopause would she be so keen on getting to know her daughter?

Good point. She wasn't very keen at all at first.

The scenes with Ryan and Carla were very good in the hospital. I love any scene with Roy and Evelyn. Highlight of the episode.

According to IMDB, Roy Cropper started in Corrie in 1995 appearing in 2,435 episodes.

I remember David Neilson in Boys from the Blackstuff (1982) when he played an offical from the Department of Employment.
He seems to be good at playing seemingly mundane characters - no disrespect. I think he's a great actor.

One of his memorable performances was as a Council leader in 'Between the lines'

[LouiseP]

I remember his first appearance as Roy. He had a flat above Deirdre . Can?t remember much else except that they met on the stairs and I think she thought he was a bit strange. Nothing new there then.

[Son of Cain]

Poor Elisa, just wait till Hope finds out she is becoming friendly with Sam.

[RogerOver]

One of his memorable performances was as a Council leader in 'Between the lines'

Thanks for the info.
I just had a look, and see there were three series of Between the Lines (1992-94), and David only appeared in one episode out of 35, but it doesn't appear to list which episode it was.
I don't remember the seres offhand, but don't want to download all of them just see the one David was in.
Any idea?

[Perdita]

Daisy got some acid on her breast .. why do we not see her getting medical attention like Ryan? It was not as severe but I can imagine that having a scarred boob would trouble a vain person like Daisy... :hmm:

Series 2 6th episode called Manoeuvre 11

Elisha should jump at the chance of going to Oak Hill. It set Rosie Webster up for life.

I am guessing that Jackson needs to die sooner or later

[RogerOver]

Series 2 6th episode called Manoeuvre 11

Thanks again.
I spent ten minutes searching for a torrent to download, then I found that the complete episode is on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PHlxivczTI

Billy would not be allowed in the kitchen, unhygienic and he is not insured ...

"Jackson, Stephen. Stephen, Jackson."

That aside, he could help out by feeding the 5,000 (customers) with loaves and fishes.

[mysangry]

"Jackson, Stephen. Stephen, Jackson."
Motive?

so far all the people he has killed are short-time visitors to Corra, which Jackson would fit.

Unless anyone is planning on leaving Corra soon, was Abbie going to leave soon?

[Dennis tanner]

"Jackson, Stephen. Stephen, Jackson."

Jackson to start with so that Faye and Craig can have their own little family in Weatherfield

Faye is departing in July, leaving with Miley and Jackson, the actress wanted to leave.

So Jackson wins then.

If Ellie Leach wants to stay in Show business, she will not do better than Corrie

This is a decision young soap actors have to face, whether or not to leave the security of having a regular job in a Soap, or to take the risk and try to find new and more challenging roles. I suppose it depends on the type of person they are, whether they want security or they are risk takers. If they stay too long they can become type cast and find it difficult to get other work. William Roach has made a career out of being Ken Barlow and seems happy with it. On the other hand some soap actors have have chosen to leave never to be seen again. If they stay too long, and then there character is written out, or worse, killed off, that could be a big problem. Not a decision to be taken lightly.

Absolutely, SoC. I'm sure Sarah Lancashire and Suranne Jones never regretted leaving Corrie. But, of course, you do have to have the talent as those two have in abundance. So I wouldn't advise Todd Boyce to leave.....

Yes, good job they did not settle for the security of a regular pay packet. As for poor old Todd he will not even have that, as his time is surely coming to an end.

He's lucky to have you as a fan.

[Son of Cain]

Todd has 99 entries on IMDB and will find other work.

He is not a young actor, so not the same decision to make. He already has a back catalogue of work to prove his experience and versatility. The young actor has to decide if they want to move on to bigger and better roles, or stay where they are for security, but risk becoming typecast, and run the risk of becoming stuck if they stay too long.

Todd Crappy aka Todd Carty aka Mark Fowler aka Tucker

How did Billy get a (over?) five grand tax rebate, had he been overpaying a hundred pounds a week tax last year? He must be on a good wedge from the church not to have missed that.

Did he ever have a company car from the church, which he later gave up? Otherwise I cannot see how he could have overpaid.

Why does the Ryan storyline stop you fast forwarding through the Steeeeeeeephen bits?

Bad grammar. There is nothing that would stop me from whizzing through the Steeeeeephen bits unless it was a scene where someone was giving him a damn good thrashing. I should have said the Ryan bits keep me watching Corrie at normal speed. Sadly scene involving super Transatlantic lawyer Dee Dee may soon make it on to the ff list

Poor Ruby is left out again. No invite to the party. No friends to talk to. Left on her own while mum and dad are out dancing, nan working in Dev's or in the Rovers and sister out with her friends.

More subtle comedy last night.
In Roy's Rolls:
Alex: Can you smell something burning?
Billy: No why, can you?
Alex: No. but it's always good to check.

Hearing a lot of 'yeah no' as in 'are you ok?'- 'yeah no, I'm ok'.
I'm confused... what are they replying 'no' to?
Happening in Emmerdale too.

Amy Barlow drinks herself into a drunken stupour and finishes up in hospital. "I messed up" she tells her mom. "No you didn't" insists Tracy.

There is a danger in showing kids in soaps getting very drunk all the time as being seen as normal behaviour. Perhaps it is and I'm out of touch.

In fairness to Traceyluv she probably meant she understood the reasoning behind it. How many of us have used drink as an excuse? Long term it doesn't help but short term its acrutch

The Amy, Steve and Tracy scenes in hospital were well done.

Never the less, she knows she mesed up and telling her that she hadn't didn't help her

[parkerman]

How many of us have used drink as an excuse? Long term it doesn't help but short term its acrutch

I haven't for one. And I agree with Dennis. excusing it doesn't help anyone. It's a "crutch" that can lead to long term abuse that needs to be dealt with not excused.

[alan45]

I haven't for one. And I agree with Dennis. excusing it doesn't help anyone. It's a "crutch" that can lead to long term abuse that needs to be dealt with not excused.

Thats what I tried to say - Its used as a short term crutch but in the long term it doesn't help. I speak from experience as someone who has been involved in several life threatening issues and at the time alcohol was seen as a quick fix. Back in the day there was no such thing as PTSD or counselling

[bratface]

I thought it was weird that it has been a couple of weeks without any notifications! Has anybody else had problems? This has been the third time in the last year.

Am I thick ? I didn't get that . What did it mean ?

Am I thick ? I didn't get that . What did it mean ?

It's the same as asking someone: "Did you lose a leg?"
"No, did you think I did?"
"No, but it's always good to check."
Or:
"Are you wearing your lucky trousers?"
"No, did you think I was?"
"No, but it's always good to check."

It's just the same sort of pointless question that makes it funny without labouring the point. If Alex had smelt something burning, he would have attended to it himself.

[bratface]

This should be on the site suggestions and bug reports forum, shouldn't it?

Sorry, it was a test to see if anything was wrong on my end.

It's the opportunity for Alex for use some dialogue

That sounds too much like common sense/forward thinking.
Even with a pen and paper, it can still get as wet as Amy's mind. She should have thought about this originally (obviously before the recent event in her life).

I'm as big a fan of his as I was of Todd Crappy

I saw on telly this morning that they are making a new film of Grange Hill and they will be bringing back some of the old original characters as parents and grandparents.

Todd Boyce who plays the Canuck murderer is different to Todd Carty (Crappy) although very similar in some ways. Neither can act, both played pathetic storylines with rubbish scripts

Ah right, thanks for explaining that clearly to me, being hard-of-learning.
I thought Todd Crappy was a reference to Todd in Corro (Gareth Pierce). Way too many Todds in these soaps.

Dee-Dee walks past their kitchen to go out and get a coffee when she knows Paul is likely to do a runner. She has a sharp brain that woman!

They seem to be spoiling Paul's storyline by him becoming a criminal. He should be looking into ways he can get help with disability equipment. Grants or Schemes through the NHS for example.

Paul is her charity case to compensate for all the millions she normally gets

[RogerOver]

Paul said to DeeDee,"Naill's got me by the short and curlies" To me, that seemed a reasonable phrase.
Earlier, Audrey was talking to Elaine about Stephen, "Gail and the kids call him golden balls."
I've heard the phrase used in dramas before, I always thought it was a reference to male appendages. Having just looked it up, I see it refers to the three gilt balls used as a pawnbroker's sign.
Oh how ignorant I am.

Brian mentioned to George about the ship 'Lord Sandwich' which was originally Captain's Cook's Endeavour.
It was scuttled by the British in Newport Harbor (in 1778) in an effort to block French ships during the American War of Independence.
Something else I googled out of interest. Sometimes Corro is very educational.

Btw, I see that although the Earl of Sandwich gave his name to the food snack, he didn't invent it. Apparently, "One of the earliest known sandwich-eaters was Hillel the Elder, a rabbi and scholar who was born in Babylon and lived in Jerusalem during the first century B.C"

I think in this case it was reference to the nickname given to David Beckham by his wife Victoria, when. he turned his image around after being sent off in the 1998 World Cup. Google has let you down a bit here.

Definitely referring to male appendages suggesting that they can do no wrong and spoiled rotten as in Stephen's case.

Stephen ran towards Underworld and intercepted the postman, saying. "I can take those for you."
It doesn't seem unusual something like that happens in soaps.
I would have though the postman was obliged to deliver mail directly to the address, or hand it to someone in the premises, not just give the mail to someone on the street. I can't imagine the postman knows all his householders that well, especially in an urban area. Would that happen in real life?

I didn't know that Coronation Street was originally Albert Street, then renamed for the coronation of Edward VII?
I remember that the soap was going to be called Florizel Street, but some bigwig in ITV said it sounded like the name of a soap powder, hence it became Coronation Street.

[parkerman]

I didn't know that Coronation Street was originally Albert Street, then renamed for the coronation of Edward VII?

That was a bit of a strange story because Brian said that the street was built in 1902. King Edward succeeded to the throne (when he took the name Edward) in January 1901, so to call it Albert street after him in 1902 seems a bit odd.

Googling says that "Edward VII, born Prince Albert Edward (November 9, 1841?May 6, 1910)" so it looks his real name was Albert.

[Son of Cain]

A buzz cut is sensible? I suppose if you are joining the army. Was it required by the detention center?

If I was sent to a detention centre, a place where violence is likely to occur, I would have my head shaved or hair cut very short, so, if in a fight, not allow anyone the chance to grab hold of it, to head butt, or punch me in the face. I think any sensible person would do the same.

[parkerman]

Yes, his name was Albert, but he took the name Edward in January 1901, so if Coronation Street wasn't built until 1902 (according to Brian), why would they call it Albert after him?

I've been waiting for Perdita to comment on this but as she hasn't, I'll just leave this here:

"Florizel is a fictional character in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. Florizel is the son of Polixenes ? King of Bohemia. He falls in love with Perdita, and wishes to marry her. His father objects to the marriage, however, and warns Florizel that his inheritance will be revoked if he ever seeks Perdita again."

I think this something that does happen in real life, especially in the past when we used to have a regular postman, who knew people by sight. Although now we do not seem to keep the same postman so long, I do not know. I have frequently taken the mail from the postman in the street outside my house even when it was a postman I had never seen before. I think they are just glad to get rid of stuff, and save themselves the trouble of puting it through the letter box, even though they probably meant to. Perhaps in the case of Stephen the postman had seen him at the factory, or had had to go in to hand over a parcel. For myself.f I saw nothing unusual in handing it over in the street.

Daniel is not very good at this job. He should not be singling out Max and drawing attention to him, he should realize that this could lead to Max being picked upon, even being beaten up. Now Max is starting to act up to impress the other inmates. Daniel should realize this place is different from a school.

I think Daisy is worried that Daniel may get jealous of the time she spends with Ryan, so was trying to downplay it to please him.

[Son of Cain]

Abi was right. Aaron did rape Amy but I don't think that he realises it.

I agree with you that Aaron truly believes he did not rape Amy, they were both so drunk that I do not think either of them are clear about exactly what happened. Aaron was so drunk I am not sure he would have been able to have sex. Without wishing to condone rape I think Amy has to let go, and try to move on, I know easier said than done. I think Amy is now doing harm to her self obsessing on trying to save Mia when she may not need to be saved. Has it been made clear as to whether Aaron and Mia are having a sexual relationship. Regardless I do not think Mia is in much danger, her relationship with Aaron is different them Amy's. If nothing else I think Aaron will have learned from his experience with Amy, not to get into the same situation again. In his heart I do not think he is a bad person, he agreed to wait with Summer until she was ready. I do think he set out with bad intentions, what I hope, both him and Amy will have learned from this, is that drinking to such excess is dangerous.
