[Son of Cain]

I read that Mrs. Vance will have an 'affair' with Aadi! Isn't she old enough to be his mother?

She falls into the category of Cougar.

[LouiseP]

Mine too - but they have Paddyfied him.

I don?t watch ED . I assume this is Paddy. What does Paddified him mean?

[Son of Cain]

I don?t watch ED . I assume this is Paddy. What does Paddified him mean?

Paddy has become more of a bumbling idiot as time has passed, I think the same has happened to Dev. I seem to remember him as being more of a straight, efficient, dull even, business man when he first appeared, now he has become this silly rambling idiot a lot of the time.

[Dennis tanner]

Mine too - but they have Paddyfied him.

Not so !!!.

Kirk has always been a bumbling buffoon.

[Son of Cain]

Kirk has always been a bumbling buffoon.

Maybe so, but he has got worse in recent years.

[Son of Cain]

Not so !!!.

So, how would you describe him. To me it started on the golf course with Steve other character who has been turned into an idiot.

[lizann]

paddy can do serious, like depression, suicide, grace dying etc.,

[Perdita]

paddy can do serious, like depression, suicide, grace dying etc.,

I think they have changed his character again for the better.

[Perdita]

So, how would you describe him. To me it started on the golf course with Steve other character who has been turned into an idiot.

Steve has always been a bit of a silly bugger but he has always been under the thumb of all his wives and has never been able to really stand up for himself. He is a likeable character though and brings a lot of humour to the street, especially with all the rather serious storylines right now.

[Dennis tanner]

paddy can do serious, like depression, suicide, grace dying etc.,

He can do buffoon and he can do depressed but he struggles to do normal

[Dennis tanner]

So, how would you describe him. To me it started on the golf course with Steve other character who has been turned into an idiot.

Dev is simply a Legend and when he is happy, he makes me happy.

[Son of Cain]

Did not really understand why Adam had a panic attack, was it just the idea of "a lifetime of indentured servitude"?

[lizann]

Did not really understand why Adam had a panic attack, was it just the idea of "a lifetime of indentured servitude"?

happens at mention of father and son or father and kids, his kid with sarah etc., as his fears still it is not his kid

[Son of Cain]

Kung Fu Gerry did not waste any time, would he jump into Stephen"s grave as quick. Maybe I am being a pessimist but I cannot help feeling there I something dodgy about Gerry.

[Son of Cain]

happens at mention of father and son or father and kids, his kid with sarah etc., as his fears still it is not his kid

Have we seen Adam having a panic attack before, I am guessing we have, but my attention must have wandered and I missed it.

[Son of Cain]

Silly Billy, hearing wedding bells, it was obvious that Paul was going to ask him to help him with assisted dying.

[alan45]

Absolutely brilliant acting by Steeeeephen on Friday night.



Then he woke from his coma and abysmal acting took over as I pressed the fast forward button

[Dennis tanner]

Silly Billy, hearing wedding bells, it was obvious that Paul was going to ask him to help him with assisted dying.

Paul is a fool. He should have asked Stephen.

[lizann]

Have we seen Adam having a panic attack before, I am guessing we have, but my attention must have wandered and I missed it.

only since the baby news from sarah came out

[LouiseP]

Have we seen Adam having a panic attack before, I am guessing we have, but my attention must have wandered and I missed it.

Yes, two or three.

[LouiseP]

Paul is a fool. He should have asked Stephen.

🤣🤣

[mysangry]

🤣🤣

aye but Paul has nothing to give him, and we all know Stephen is all for personal gain!!!

[mysangry]

She falls into the category of Cougar.

well her claws fit, but she is such a tart

[Perdita]

well her claws fit, but she is such a tart

I find it all very rushed ... Aadi is regretting it already, bless him...

[Son of Cain]

Are we heading for a steroid abuse story with Ryan.

[lizann]

Are we heading for a steroid abuse story with Ryan.

looks that way, back fast from his mother visit

[lizann]

did stephen read the results and change them but adam is requesting fresh copy results

[Dennis tanner]

did stephen read the results and change them but adam is requesting fresh copy results

Possibly. Either way, there is no way that he wouldn't read the letter.

[Perdita]

Are we heading for a steroid abuse story with Ryan.

Yes, but in soapland addictions never last long apart from Peter Barlow and his alcohol addiction, others get over their's very quickly

[parkerman]

did stephen read the results and change them but adam is requesting fresh copy results

Having recently been involved with some DNA test results from a lab (don't ask!), I don't see how he could have changed the results unless he completely re-wrote the form, you couldn't just change the results on the form. I'm also a bit surprised (no, I'm not - this is a soap!) that the results weren't sent electronically as well as by post.

[Snagglepus]

With Sarah not seeing/reading the original letter she would not know whether what she has now is the original or a new one done by Stephen.
Whatever, she did not look happy over the result.
We still don't know the result.

Why would Stephen change the results? How would it benefit him? I need to start watching regularly again.

blackmail sarah down the line for money, business, a home etc.,

[bratface]

Does Sarah have any share in 'Underworld'? I thought that Carla owned it outright after buying Nick's shares?

[lizann]

sarah has nipper sipper or whatever that business with michael called

[Dennis tanner]

Yes, but in soapland addictions never last long apart from Peter Barlow and his alcohol addiction, others get over their's very quickly

He thinks that if he's big and strong, people wont make fun of his face.

[bratface]

sarah has nipper sipper or whatever that business with michael called

I thought that 'business' failed?

[lizann]

I thought that 'business' failed?

did owen step in to help?

[Snagglepus]

I thought that 'business' failed?

I think they were let down by Stephen not being able to con any money out of anyone to bankroll them, so they never had a business.
Did it also turn out that because Michael had done the design work during Underworld time, they held the rights to them.

[lizann]

what business is sarah owen and michael doing

[Perdita]

With Sarah not seeing/reading the original letter she would not know whether what she has now is the original or a new one done by Stephen.
Whatever, she did not look happy over the result.
We still don't know the result.

Adam is the dad

[RogerOver]

Adam is the dad

What's that based on? Have I missed something?

[Dennis tanner]

Adam is the dad Just a co-incidence then that he eventually manages to impregnate his wife while she is having an affair.

[RogerOver]

Just a co-incidence then that he eventually manages to impregnate his wife while she is having an affair.

Adam maybe Scottish, but I don't think he's been stirring the porridge.

[Perdita]

What's that based on? Have I missed something?

Just my prediction so far as I really do not want another fight over a baby like we had not long ago with Abby and baby Alfie.....

[Son of Cain]

Does Sarah have any share in 'Underworld'? I thought that Carla owned it outright after buying Nick's shares?

Does the staff including Sarah not own half the shares in the company, or did Carla buy them back.

[Perdita]

Does the staff including Sarah not own half the shares in the company, or did Carla buy them back.

I think Carla put a stop to it... :hmm:

[Son of Cain]

I think Carla put a stop to it... :hmm:

How? - Was the staff shares deal not something that happened when Nick owned, or part owned, the factory. I seem to remember Stephen offering the shareholding staff a bonus, as part of some deal he was doing fairly recently. The ownership goings on at underworld over the years, I doubt anyone understands it now.

I remember Stephen offering the staff shares to run Underworld when Carla was unwell because he drugged her but seem to remember that Carla felt better and walked into the factory and said This is not happening!!! or something like it...

[parkerman]

I remember Stephen offering the staff shares to run Underworld when Carla was unwell because he drugged her but seem to remember that Carla felt better and walked into the factory and said This is not happening!!! or something like it...

It was Carla who sold her shares to the workforce after she had her first breakdown.

[Perdita]

It was Carla who sold her shares to the workforce after she had her first breakdown.

ok, remembered it wrong, thank you parkerman... do they still have the shares now'?

[lizann]

It was Carla who sold her shares to the workforce after she had her first breakdown.

carla wanted to sell to owen, what shares has she now? i thought carla and stephen were co owners of underworld

[alan45]

Adam is the dad

Now we know he isn't. The Canadian Murderer, Thief, Serial Liar and expert forger got to work on his laptop and changed the truth. Is there no end to this man's talents? Pity acting isn't one of them

[LouiseP]

Now we know he isn't. The Canadian Murderer, Thief, Serial Liar and expert forger got to work on his laptop and changed the truth. Is there no end to this man's talents? Pity acting isn't one of them

That last sentence is hilarious.

[lizann]

courtney was nearly eating aadi devouring him

[Dennis tanner]

The Legend that is Dev on fine form last night and I am still confused about Sarah's unborn child. Did Stephen alter the form because he had already altered the original letter ?

[Perdita]

The Legend that is Dev on fine form last night and I am still confused about Sarah's unborn child. Did Stephen alter the form because he had already altered the original letter ?

I do not understand why he got involved in the first place... Adam happy for now... obviously, the truth will come out :ninja:

[Dennis tanner]

I do not understand why he got involved in the first place... Adam happy for now... obviously, the truth will come out :ninja:

Only when Corrie decide what the truth is

[RogerOver]

Some good humour last night:
Dev's dream about having a sexual experience with Steve.
Then:
Daniel: I can't find my pants.
Daisy: Maybe Steve's wearing them?
Ha ha ha! The deviant scriptwriters strike again, putting Steve on a pedestal!

Also Tim talking to Ed about marriage:
Tim: "You know what they say, 'I do' is the longest sentence in the world."

[Son of Cain]

The Legend that is Dev on fine form last night and I am still confused about Sarah's unborn child. Did Stephen alter the form because he had already altered the original letter ?

The legend that is Dev was indeed on fine form tonight, but if proof was needed that he is a bit of an idiot, then ........... Dev and his father Aadi ?

I do not think Stephen altered the original letter. I think he is trying to do something good for Sarah, or at least something he feels is good. He had not counted on Sarah wanting to confess out of guilt. Just because Stephen is a slimy, sneaky, lying, cheating, swindling murderer, does not mean there is no good in him, Sarah is his niece and he wants to help her, even if in the future he might use this to his advantage.

I know what you're saying. I'm sure nearly everyone must feel they can't trust Stephen as far as they could throw the psychopathic Canuk.

Neigh, never!
It was my Yank friend who comes from on the Canadian border told me about Canuks, but never said anything about horses. So that part was straight from the horse's mouth.

Canuck is a slang term for a Canadian. The origins of the word are uncertain. The term Kanuck is first recorded in 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring to Dutch Canadians or French Canadians. By the 1850s, the spelling with a "C" became predominant. Wikipedia

well done adam

[Son of Cain]

I must be too thick, but I do not understand why Ryan is so upset about that photo, it does not show his face so no one will even know it is him. Why workout and take steroids if you are not proud of the results. Has Ryan now developed full blown body dysmorphia?

When he sees the comments about him he soon forgives Carla

[RogerOver]

In Roy's cafe, Stu, to Bernie: "Can we get two teas and a strawberry milkshake"
A few years ago, when someone used the same word 'get', Roy said, "No no, I'm the proprietor, I will get them for you."

Is 'get' commonly used in the UK now? It does seem to be an Americanisation that's crept in, replacing "Can I have", or, "Can I order"


Later on, Bernie was telling Paul about her gran dying, talking about psychic happenings: "The night she died, there was an owl..." I was expecting a line about it being a Scottish owl, and the joke 'hoots mon'.

So, Damon going to come back and him and Sarah playing happy family with his baby? Rather cruel of Adam to reveal who the father is but Sarah did lie to him over and over so I can understand why he did it

Is this Adam's exit froim Corrie? I read a few months ago he wanted to leave, not being happy about the constant battles his character was involved with.

Why does Ryan still have a plaster on his neck ?

[Perdita]

Is this Adam's exit froim Corrie? I read a few months ago he wanted to leave, not being happy about the constant battles his character was involved with.

I would not miss him

[parkerman]

Although I do have social media accounts, e.g. Facebook, X (the media formerly known as Twitter) and Instagram, I am also an old codger, so I am not too sure of how it all works! But, I have noticed that whenever anyone posts anything in Coronation Street on a social media platform, it seems to immediately go viral. Take last night's case for example. I don't know on which site Carla posted that photo of Ryan, but is it likely that it would have gone viral so quickly given the sort of followers Carla must have? I am willing to learn the art of Social Media so am looking for enlightenment here.

[Son of Cain]

Why does Ryan still have a plaster on his neck ?

I have been wondering this for a while. Did he have a skin graft, although I would not think you would cover one with an elastoplast, in case it pulled the skin away when it was taken off. Perhaps the skin was completely burned away underneath it, and he still needs to have one there. No one ever mentions it. I cannot believe one plaster would stay in place all this time, so it must need to be replaced regularly if he still has an open wound under it.

Don't you know there are people all over the world with phones in hand switching from platform to platform just waiting for earth shattering posts like Carl's so that they can contribute to making them go viral.

I do not use social media. My enlightenment - delete them - or just use them to keep in contact with friends and family.

Damon and Demon in the same family seems ideal

[lizann]

Damon and Demon in the same family seems ideal

whose demon?

[Dennis tanner]

whose demon?

David 'Demon' Platt !!!

[parkerman]

David 'Demon' Platt !!!

Yes, I thought that was classic when David told Sarah she wouldn't be on her own as she would have all the Platt family to help look after the baby. How could he be so cruel? What a thing to inflict on any baby!

[Son of Cain]

Yes, I thought that was classic when David told Sarah she wouldn't be on her own as she would have all the Platt family to help look after the baby. How could he be so cruel? What a thing to inflict on any baby!

At least the child would not have a dull, boring life.

[RogerOver]

At least the child would not have a dull, boring life.

With David as a role model, the kid would grow up with serious metal health issues!
I love David's character, his cynical and sarcastic nature is just so funny.

Divorce does that to you.

[Son of Cain]

Adam woke up on the couch with a man bun. A few hours later it was gone. What was that all about.

I think he just ties it back into the man bun at night stop it getting messed up and getting in his eyes. He has enough product on it to grease my bike chain for a year.

[lizann]

I always thought that toast racks were weird, you expose the toast to more 'air' & it goes cold quicker. I put my toast on a heated plate so it stays warm longer.

did adam even adopt harry to want shared custody, good on him for wanting to stay in harry's life

Eliza: Who is that in the painting?
Yasmeen: No one in particular.
Eliza: Whoever it is, the jacket needs ironing.

There is no reason to single Sean out. The facts are that there are too many staff. The place can be run by just one person and Jenny just needs cover when she's not working.

I have never cared the way the writers treat Sean's character. The writers never show him with kindness.

[Dennis tanner]

I have never cared the way the writers treat Sean's character. The writers never show him with kindness.

Many say that Sean is not genuine.

The same people say that Mr Cotton plays himself.

It's very confusing

[Son of Cain]

That is inflation for you.... friend of mine paid just over 3 quid for 6 broad beans last week....

6 individual beans? Or 6 pods of beans?

[Perdita]

6 individual beans? Or 6 pods of beans?

Sorry, it was 11 runner beans, 3.30 quid

My friends live on a narrowboat, cruising the canals of UK in the summer, used to spend the winter in Spain until Brexit put an end to that so now they just spend 90 days in Spain, then UK, then back in Spain then UK.... Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving to them. They did enjoy their beans with their Sunday roast though, apparently... at that price I would have forced them down my neck if I liked them or not hahhahaha

[lizann]

todd first for bernie's massage and falls flat on his pretty nose (lol)

george is very upset over the rovers, how long has he been there, kevin and rita and ken and gail yes i could see as long term regulars upset

I am shocked that Glenda was denied the chance to sing. Perhaps the old chap will die and leave her a shed load of money to buy the Rovers.

5 people behind the bar last night. Far too many

Why does anybody think that new owners would change anything? If there aren't any customers now, changing owners wouldn't miraculously bring in new punters!

Probably works out more pre ounce than the roast.

It would change things for Jenny, she would have the money from the sale, and the new owners would have the problem of running the pub.

New owners might have different ideas, arrange for entertainment acts to perform, change menu (but not get rid of the hotpot, obviously!), maybe do 2for1 meal deals just to get punters in....

Steve and George managed to raise ?600 in a couple of hours on a crowdfunding site to "save" the pub. Really? The only way that could have happened is if Rita had donated ?599.

Why would strangers give money unless they feel very strongly about back street boozers going bust. Surely only customers and those living nearby would realistically give money. In which case the pub would not be in trouble in the first case.

Now that Sean brought Stephens tie pin to our attention will he now spot that he has lost it?
Will it be found before Stephen goes back to recover it?
I suppose we are going to have to put up with the suspicion being on Paul.

In all this time did Stephen not know he had lost it?

In reality I would think that the police would have a hard time connecting it to Stephen, unless they show it to Sean and I see no reason to reason for them to do this. If Stephen gets caught it will be because he panics and tries to steal it back, or does something else stupid to give himself away. If the police thought it was a serious clue they would not have given it to Rufus's wife, Lou. As far as they are concerned the case is closed, they do not even want to investigate, they are only going through the motions to placate Lou. All Stephen has to do is keep quiet and not panic and he is home and dry, unless of course Detective Tinker suddenly takes an interest and discovers and solves all Stephen's crimes..

Definitely time this story came to an end, it is making less and less sense. The police are reluctant to investigate further and Silly Stephen keeps doing things to make them look closer. The tie pin? Lou says they are going to look into it but the police have given it back to her. Lou says Rufus would never wear something like that. But no one ever saw him wear it. There are a thousand reasons the tie pin was in the pool, it could have been there for months, dropped by a visitor, Rufus could even have found it in the street. Stephen steals it, surely they will make it more interesting to them, unless they assume Lou has just lost it. Stephen has no reason to think the police would ever show it to Michael or Sean.Telling them about the watch again causing the police to take more interest. Stephen has got away with it so far he would have done better to just done nothing and let it all die down naturally.

Guessing the opening hours are 11.00am to 11.00pm. Jenny did own the pub but now the brewery have bought it or have said they will buy it, not sure if the deal is done yet.

[Son of Cain]

Really not taking to the new Ruby, too stage school, the original one was more natural. Hate how when they recast a child actor they compleyely change personality, and seem to age several years. In this case as well as a new head she seems to have gained a head in height. The old Ruby was clearly younger than Hope now they seem the same age. Hope is 12, 13 in December, and Ruby 10 nearly 11.

I believe you are a bit behind us in the UK, is that right? The latest storyline is all about Jenny trying to sell the pub to the brewery as she cannot afford to keep it on any more. All will become clear when you catch up!

It's not just Ruby who seems to have changed. Hope also seems to have had a complete change of personality, supporting her sister and even encouraging her when she could have stepped in and taken the limelight herself with the solo part.

Hope and Ruby both told Ty to hold the phone/camera landscape not portrait. When he filmed the concert he still held it portrait and then showed the video to Hope and Ruby who seemed to like it and didn't say a word.

I am 12 days behind. But this isn't the first time I've heard a 'brewery ownership' reference when it came to a pub. I remember it being mentioned a few times on Eastenders & a couple of times on Emmerdale (back in the day).


Also, if they are only open 12 hours a day then realistically they should maybe need 4 maybe 5 total employees (not all at once). 2 full-time & the rest part-time.

That is a contradiction in terms. A civil ceremony is one held without any religious input. What you can get in the Anglican church is a blessing after you have had a civil ceremony somewhere else.
