how did paul manage in the water

People with physical impairments often manage better in the water as it takes strain off their muscles. It is often used in physiotherapy and as exercise for older people.

Yes, my wife had very bad arthritis in her legs and could hardly walk at times and used a wheelchair, but she loved being in the water. She took a course of hydrotherapy treatment at our local hospital, which she always said made her feel much better and she was able to walk unaided for some time after each session.

[lizann]

i suppose in a pool with a trained physiotherapist to help yes but in a lake with a vicar on their own how does that work

[Son of Cain]

You forget the Vicar is a Servant of the Lord.

But seriously the only problem I see, would be getting out of the lake at the end.

[lizann]

paul can barely walk with a stick

[Dennis tanner]

I agree with your last statement

She wasn't really helped by any physiotherapists. They were around, but my wife was able to get out of the water on her own after a session because of the therapeutic effects of the water. She also went swimming in our local swimming pool because of the beneficial effect. No physiotherapists there. No vicars either come to that.

[lizann]

sarah should just tell audrey and gail about stephen

But Silly Billy is no mere vicar. He's an archdeacon no less. and he blessed the water before they went in

[Dennis tanner]

sarah should just tell audrey and gail about stephen

Yes she should but the script will not allow it.

[Son of Cain]

I agree with your last statement

Looking at it again I see it is possible to get out of the water without having to climb on to the jetty. There is a beach to the side of the jetty where the water is shallow and it would be possible for Paul to walk out, with help from Billy of course.

[Son of Cain]

sarah should just tell audrey and gail about stephen

Or should she wait until he gets his hands on Jenny's money and pays Audrey back?

[LouiseP]

sarah should just tell audrey and gail about stephen

Yes, but they wouldn?t believe it.

[Son of Cain]

I did not know you could still get top loading washing machines. So that is something I have learned tonight.

[parkerman]

It's good to see that the Corrie scriptwriters have as much knowledge of how corporate business and take-overs work as they do of the way local councils are run. At least it shows consistency.

[Son of Cain]

I have lost all interest and understanding of the business goings on in Corrie. I have completely lost the place with the Underworld/Nippersnapper saga. The Rover's brewery takeover insider dealing seems to have turned out to be a lead up to Ed betting on the gee gees again.

[Perdita]

We should all be in Weatherfield, outside the Rovers Return with plackards saying SAVE THE WEATHERFIELD NEWTON AND RIDLEY BREWERY... what is this world coming to ... Coronation Street without the Newton & Ridley brewery supplying the Rovers Return.... sacrilege!!!

After a few dramas, I would not be surprised if they sell the Rover's back to Jenny or some other worthy character. In real life I cannot see a large brewery chain keeping a back street pub that is not making a profit open for very long.

how many hotels has she, she sold her bistro share

[Son of Cain]

Is Dev left handed? - I have never noticed before.

[Son of Cain]

I find Michael incredibly annoying.

[Son of Cain]

I hate when characters try to tell someone something, and the other person does not listen, and assumes they know what they are going to say, or talks over them about something else. Like when Ed was trying to tell Ronnie about the gambling ads, and maybe say he did not trust himself with the bank card,

Recently I have been finding a whole page of gambling ads in my junk folder every day, even though I have never, ever, went to a gambling site. It is very annoying as I did not notice for several weeks and it took me ages to go through them, and delete them. Good job I am not a gambler.

[parkerman]

Am I the only one here who couldn't give a t*ss about Max, Sabrina and Lauren?

Well he should have done. He should just said so.

Giving Cassie money was like locking an alcoholic in a wine cellar. Stupid Tyrone.

" I will pay ypu back the money". "I know you will mom. Next month, after a mechanics crash course, you will be doing call outs."

The best I can say about Max is that he probably remembers his lines.

[thestud2k7]

i cannot believe Tyrone let Hope watch some of the doctor attending to cassie

I can. Tyronne is well intentioned but does the wrong thing most episodes.

[Son of Cain]

Someone should tell Tyrone that what is said in these meetings, should stay in the meeting.

I'm not really up to speed with apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds, but I am sure they must be dealt with through and overseen by local education authorities or education trusts as they are set at different levels leading to different qualifications ranging from GCSE to degree level. You can't just go and set yourself up in your dad's shop!

Platt did in his nan's shop.

I am impressed that after a few months in the Junior Chokey, Max can now almost speak normally.

Is Cassie safe in the same house as Hope ?

Claire Sweeney is good at playing a sly, manipulative, deceitful liar.

Alan Halsall is good at playing thick as two short planks Tyronne but he has had many many years of practice

[lizann]

the show is really going down the drain, no interesting storys, hell i want stephen back at this stage

Different times. Apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds are now a part of compulsory education which it wasn't in his step-father's day.

[Son of Cain]

Different times. Apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds are now a part of compulsory education which it wasn't in his step-father's day.

When I served a 5 year apprenticeship in a very large engineering company I do not think the education authorities had anything to do with it, unless you choose to go the night school. Not sure if the government contributed to the company, not something I ever thought of at the time. When you finished your apprenticeship you could carry on working there indefinitely.

I don't know how old you are SoC, but, as I said above, they were different times. I'm assuming the school leaving age was 16 when you went into your apprenticeship. Leaving age is now 18, so that if you don't continue with a full-time academic education after the age of 16, you have to take up an apprenticeship which is overseen by the local education authority or trust.

I am old enough that there was no 20% who did not go to school. In those days if you did not go to school the School Board Officer dragged you there. Any school age child found on the streets without a proper excuse, like a visit to the dentist or doctor, would be escorted to school. Even if you were sick in bed you would get a visit. I can remember being ill in bed when he came into the bedroom to check I really was in bed. No truants in those days.

[mysangry]

Am I the only one struggling to watch Corra, I find I am fast-forwarding so much, that I'm asking myself will I miss it if I stop watching?

We have already had drug storylines, and here we are again with Cassie, so so tedious
No doubt it won't be long before we have troublesome kids like we had with Kelly and having to see someone die.

I know Paul is doing his best with MND storyline, but I am just not feeling it, and that girl (no idea what her name is or even care) he has befriended is not really likable for me.

These stories are just repetitive, How about something fresh? I am sure the other Soap Boarders could do better stories, can see Corri losing it's loyal viewers before long.

[Dennis tanner]

Why does Asda need a room at Roys ?

Why is Fiona still away ? I got the impression that the orders had dried up.

Trampie should bite the bullet and let his silly grand daughter just get on with it. She will soon realise her mistake

I know what you mean, I find myself only half watching, which means I miss things and then get confused as to what is happening. The stories are just not gripping enough to demand my full attention.

Everything has a natural life span, except it seems Soap Operas. When it gets to a time that they are repeating the same stories, with different characters, then perhaps it is time to bite the bullet and pull the plug. Brookside realized this and had the courage to end it.

Has anyone actually missed Fiz, Hop and Ruby do not seem to have missed her much.

I know I should be sympathetic to Stu but I find it very hard to do so. He took against Dom before he knew what sort of dad he was. It was obvious that Eliza would want to get to know her father, and him thinking that he could bulldoze his opinions onto her, was never a good idea, but he is to thick headed to see that. He should just calm down and let things run their course.

I actually can get that...then, all he had to think about was protecting daughter and wife in cover up of a murder he did not commit and try to survive as a criminal on the streets... but now he has responsibilities like working, relationship with Yasmeen and Alya and being in charge of a teenager who suddenly thinks her new-found dad has the sun shining out of his lower orifice...

Accidents are accidentals and should not always be a reason for arrest.

Poor Dev. I am gutted for him.

As SoC says, the old shellac records broke quite easily, but vinyl records do not tend to break, however old they are.

Such a shame about Shelley. Paul will be so upset.

[mysangry]

I thought the deal with Dev and Darren had been signed off, which is why they were celebrating, and now it seems it is it is not going ahead.

I'm suspicious, that Darren and his Missus are up to something, surely a woman who is so materialistic is going to look at anything such as a pokey corner shop and a young kid with nothing to offer apart from the "obvious"
Nah, not having it

But he doesn't need to sabotage Dev's business unless he is not as successful as he pretends to be

[Son of Cain]

As it was such an old record, is it possible it was a shellac record rather than vinyl?

Paul said he was going to the vinyl shop in Churchill Street, he also referred to it as an "album", old 78 records usual only had one song on them.

I tend to think that this story is just badly written. Although Darren may not be as successful as he says, I don't think he is are deliberately scheming to do harm to Dev in some way. I thought Darren, and maybe Courtney, might be trying to scam Dev out of his money. But now he has called of the deal, I am not sure if this was the case. Unless he is just trying to make Dev even keener for the deal to go ahead. At the end of the day is it all just an excuse for a bit of drama, and an inappropriate affair?

[mysangry]

And so it begins, more boring s**t about bad kids, so a newby is coming to the street and along with Dylan, is going to bully Jack or something along those lines!

Is Corra trying to once again, have an agenda, that white kids are trouble, can we not just have some nice kids?

we have already had bullying stories with Seb and NIna, so why again??????????????

[Son of Cain]

I did not recognize Shona tonight, she was looking so glamorous.

Why can't Ed just tell that builder guy he has a problem with gambling, it would make it easier for everyone?

Who is going to put a substantial bet on a team winning 4-3 ?

Poor Billy. The Bishop and his vicar chums failed to turn up at his party.

Poor Paul. He couldn't believe that a terminally ill woman had died.

However, things are looking up for Paul. He is now able to leave the flat using his chairlift while carrying his wheelchair.

As far as we are led to believed Ed has overcome his "weakness", so it would make his life easier if he admitted to Neil that he has had a problem with gambling in the past, and ask him not to keep trying to get him to have a bet.

I fear you may be speaking too soon.

[Perdita]

I cannot take to Courtney the way she is being portrayed... she is a materialistic female used to finer things in life and she admitted in the beginning that she had been unfaithful before. It is unrealistic that she would want to move in with Aadi who is half her age with no money or job.... I hope this is not going to be a long storyline ....

Although Aadi has no money and no job, moving in with him is at least a putting a roof over her head, until she finds some other mug with money. I never found her affair with Aadi totally believable, in fact I found the whole story a bit silly.

I went back and looked st the clip.
We saw Ed kicking the ground with his foot. It showed 'something' only an inch below the surface, but not what it was.
Watching the clip didn't give any indication - unless I missed something?
I only know it's a grave as I saw a spoiler in the press about it.

[Son of Cain]

Starting work before the sale is finalized, would that even be legal, certainly not wise. If the investors pull out because of the body on site, what then. Ed and Ron the comedy builders are going to be in a mess. Won't just be left with a hole in the ground but with a hole in their finances too.

We saw a hand.

Wow! Even though you've told me that, I've just looked again at that clip, I still can't make out a hand.
All I can say is, I should have gone to Specsavers!

[LouiseP]

Wow! Even though you've told me that, I've just looked again at that clip, I still can't make out a hand.

I think you have missed an episode. It was on last night ( Tuesday.. an extra episode because I assume that there is Rugby on Friday). No need for Specsavers.

[parkerman]

Wow! Even though you've told me that, I've just looked again at that clip, I still can't make out a hand.

As Louise says, we saw a hand sticking out. Also as she says, I think you must have missed an episode as it was very clear.

Now about this delay to the start of building....I am still trying to get my head round why this is such a disaster for the Chuckle Brothers. Yes, it means the start of the building will be delayed and may have long-term consequences, but, even if building goes ahead straight away, they are not going to start making any money until the development is finished or near completion and they can start selling off units. The delay may not be long; they can probably make up the time. I don't see why this is such an instant hit to them. Perhaps someone in the building trade can explain this to me. Thank you.

Ah, thanks so much for the heads-up.

The comedy builders have mentioned that the sale of the site has not been completed yet, also been mentioning investors, so I imagine something will happen that means the sale will not go ahead and/or investors will pull out, leaving them up sh?* creek without a paddle. Also they are having to pay the workers to do nothing to keep them on board.

Apart from that this is a Soap which means "The Laws of the Universe" will not allow them to succeed. I am not in the building trade, this is just conjecture.

He's lucky that the aide of CID and Silent Bob are in charge of the murder case.

Given that "Silent Bob" is clearly older than Craig you expect him to be the senior partner and take the lead, but he never says a word. Makes me laugh when he nods to Craig instead of speaking. Perhaps Corrie is hard up, as they would have to pay him more if he speaks.

Is Craig leading this investigation, or is there a senior officer in charge, because I am wondering if Craig would actually have seen the body if he is just one of the junior officers.

I suppose with the amount of unexplained an suspicious deaths there are in Weatherfield the investigation is left to a seconded uniform constable barely out of probation. I know the GMP has had issues over the years but not even an Inspector to the scene. Maybe Silent Bob is a Chief Super and he transmits messages to T/DC Tinker telepathically or do I mean telepathetically!!!. Fortunately for the sake of Justice we have DIM TIM working on this case as Weatherfields answer to Columbo. I can almost forgive the obvious flaws if it leads to the demise of the murdering Canuck

I notice that Silent Bob does give Craig "The Nod" at times, perhaps this when the telepathy occurs.

What I want to know, and I am sure Sal will to, is what was Dim Tim doing, lurking on the canal bank in the early hours.

I think the Murdering Canuck's days are number, let's hope it is a small number rather than a large one.

[RogerOver]

What I want to know, and I am sure Sal will to, is what was Dim Tim doing, lurking on the canal bank in the early hours.

I assume Tim had been working nights at Street Cars, as we saw him standing outside a taxi leaving a voicemail for Rosie about her credit card bill. He wouldn't be doing that if he was up to something dodgy.
That was when he saw Stephen and decided to follow him, ending up at the canal.

why did craig notify jenny, was she leo's next of kin to id the body, had he a mother or siblings?

That's a good point. I can't think why there was any reason to link the two.

[Son of Cain]

They had already identified the body from DNA, so Jenny would not be required to do that. Perhaps it was her who reported him missing.

I thought the whole scene was very contrived, when Craig asked if there was somewhere private they could go, Jenny demanded he just tell her in the bar. I am sure most people not have done that, just an excuse for another public announcement. Same with Tim just happening to come in for a pint of zero, even though it seems he was going to be working in his cab that night. With the amount to alcohol these characters drink they must permanently be on the drink drive limit. They seem to be in the bar, morning, noon and night. Wasn't Tim supposed to be cutting back on beer, has Sally now relented and let him drink more

Well, according to this, she is still part of the cast but 3 characters/actors will be out by the end of the year plus one (which will make most of you here ecstatic) will be gone earlier than thought (October 13, 2023)! But one of my favs is also leaving, Peter (Chris Gascoyne). 😢

Silly me I did not realize, thank you for pointing it out. I am probably the only one on here that did not know about "Zero" What a fool I am. Is it a real thing in pubs, I know there are low alcohol and alcohol free beers, but did not know they were called Zero. I shall be watching closely from now on, to see if Tim or Steve MacDonald are the only ones drinking it.

[Son of Cain]

I do not understand why Jenny and staff are surprised at the plans for The Rover's. Why would a brewery buy a failing pub and continue to run it as it has been run? The idea is to make a profit, something that Jenny has not been doing.

If I was Sean, I would go for unfair dismissal. He has been employed long enough at the Rover's to be classed as a permanent employee, zero hours contract notwithstanding. If only there was a solicitor on the Street who could advise him.

The new Brewery did not specifically buy the Rovers. They just bought everything owned by Newton & Ridley. It was obvious that they were grossly overstaffed.

[parkerman]

I do not think zero hours contracts had been introduced when Sean started working there.

Yes they had. They were introduced I think in the 1990s. Under the National Minimum Wage Act 1998, there is a section on zero hours contracts which said that workers operating under a zero-hour contract had to be paid the national minimum wage for hours worked. So they must have been around then.

I am thinking of who Ryan's mystery customer is, for all this like the story in Ee with Stacy being stalked by Theo.
Corra has not done much wit this, so is it going to develop into a story for Ryan (yea again)

It has never occured to me that the identity of Ryan's mystery customer would ever be revealed, or that they would be important. The world does exist outside of Weatherfield, so they wouId not necessarily live in the street. I have always thought that the story is that Ryan is doing it, rather than who he is doing it with.

Would Todd be willing to spend the money?

As there's no gay marriage within the CofE, I thought a church blessing might be allowed after a civil ceremony?

It's a good point Parkerman. It will always be the same.
God said no work on Sundays, so a hundred years ago shops were closed. People just push the boundaries to achieve what they want in their lives.
I see this week, "Pope Francis has suggested there could be ways to bless same-sex unions", so the catholic church could be on the move to keep up with the times and not lose income from their 'faithful'.

Officers need to be at least 5 stone.

Thanks, I never was good at cryptic crosswords. I thought H2O would be involved somehow but I could not see it. Simple when you explain it. But I am sure Morse would have.

Just to keep crossword clues going, but in lighter humour:
Morse: I've been looking for a clue for two weeks now.
Lewis: How about a 'fortnight'?

tim survives

peter to prison for murder of stephen?

again disappointing only saving grace was david

[Son of Cain]

Same special effects as Emmerdale, ITV must have bought a cut price app, and decided to get their money's worth.

So that's how they writing out Peter? Dang, he's one of my favorite characters.

[Dennis tanner]

tim survives I thought the man with the dog was going to save him but it could be that the Police were too busy to respond


peter to prison for murder of stephen?
Probably manslaughter


again disappointing only saving grace was david I fail to see what Platt did that was so good apart from showing us his silly hair.

Far too many silly people tonight. The best scene for me was the Platt family gathered round a plate of cakes as if they were on Googlebox

It's a shame about your Davidphobia. I agree with lizann that David was the best thing about tonight's episode. He had some great one liners.

Other than that, I thought that all in all it was a pretty poor episode, but at least Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeephen has gone for ever and I can stop fast forwarding.

[lizann]

david's one liners plus that he had all stephen did sussed at the start of the week the best part, david the mvp of the week for me

The fact that I have always loathed Platt does not mean I have Davidphobia. My Dad's name was David. The fact that he has some good lines is scriptwriters favouritism

How do you do this Dennis, quote three posts in one of your posts, I cannot even find a way to make text "bold".

I have been waiting to see Dennis's reaction to David's one liners.


Glad you can stop fast forwarding, I was getting worried you would be getting repetitive strain injury in your thumb.

Glad to hear you do not have "Davidaphobia" as like your father my name is David, though I prefer to be called Dave. Perhaps it should have been termed "DavidPlattaphobia" but even that would probably be wrong, as a "phobia" is a fear off, and I am sure you do not fear David Platt, just dislike him.

I have always loathed the puny scrote.

I was coming around to Stephen and his antics before his demise, now we have Peter in prison then all we have is Paul's storyline that is interesting but depressing and sad

Why did Sarah go to the closed pub?

I think Stephen did love Jenny

[RogerOver]

I think Stephen did love Jenny
Hmm, from what we've seen of Stephen's character all I can say cynically is, I think Stephen loved Jenny's money and he used her, like everyone else, for his own ends.

[Perdita]

I think Stephen did love Jenny

I think you might be right there, he was quite jealous of the other men Jenny was with.

[Snagglepus]

Most probably didn't want them to get her pub/money.

[parkerman]

So Peter has been arrested for murder based on what exactly? Not suspicion of murder, but actual murder. An overheard conversation? Without questioning Peter first? Without telling him his rights?

And where's Tracy anyway?

The word suspicion is not necessary. Did she caution him? I don't remember. In any case there would be a formal interview under caution before he would be charged. I predict a manslaughter conviction but in Weatherfield Crown Court it could be anything. The Judge might be told to leave the door open for a possible return in a few years time

It has been confirmed that Chris Gascoyne will be able to return when he wants to, maybe a technicality will get him released early like his sister....:hmm:

Sounds to me like a few years for manslaughter and an early release for good behaviour

From the way this was filmed, it looked more like "causing death by careless or dangerous driving". Peter came round the corner at speed and travelled a short distance before hitting Stephen. I doubt Peter would have had time to assess the situation and realize what was going on. Why was Stephen in the middle of the road, when he released Jenny he was standing by David's car, about to make his getaway, so why would he step away from it. Then Peter gets out of his car and says "he was going to kill her", but Jenny was nowhere near Stephen, so why would Peter think this. Stephen was standing in the middle of the road looking across the road with his left side facing Peter, he had been holding the bottle in his right hand which could not be seen from Peter's car. So we could not see if he was still holding it or not, altho the police might be able to determine this by finding the broken pieces. I do not think Peter meant to hit him, I do not think Peter even had time to hit the brakes before he hit him. The way it was filmed does not support the narrative.

His problem is that he has said he deliberatly hit him.

[Son of Cain]

Which is as good as an admission of murder. Audio description said Peter came round the corner at speed, and the view through the windscreen looked like he was accelerating towards Stephen when he hit him, deliberately, and yet he stopped almost imediately without any screeching of brakes, and Stepehen was lying in front of the car. When you are hit at speed by a car you tend to fly up over the bonnet, but Stephen flew through the air staight ahead.They are trying to tell a story and filmed it to tell another story. If Peter saw that Jenny was no longer in danger, are we meant to believe that he deliberately killed Stepen in front of witnesses.
It seems after dragging this tale out for months, they decided to wrap it up quickly and did not think it through.

Totally agree with you, normally an exit provided at short notice but they just took the opportunity to get rid of the Stephen character and Peter at pretty much the same time.. Lazy script writing in my humble opinion but I hope that Chris Gascoyne will miss Corrie and come back before too long.

[lizann]

id prefer peter off travelling or back in the navy, not prison for stephen

Problem is filming it as a deliberate murder, should mean he gets at least ten or fifteen years.

[Perdita]

I was hoping for that kind of storyline when it was clear that his exit would be at the same time as Stephen's.. quite logical, I get it but I still come back to lazy scriptwriting, exciting exits I have never seen...

If that is the case, they must be the luckiest family ever.

Would be more deserved for him than it was for his sister

I see it as an admission of assault.

Craigie has had the fastest promotion in the history of the police force, from a lowly cop to a plain clothes detective in a matter of a few years.

Yes, it shouldn?t be allowed that he questions friends and neighbours or even sits in on an interview with neighbours.

[Son of Cain]

When you deliberately hit someone with a car and kill them I think it is more than assault.

[Dennis tanner]

If Young Tinker had been on a CID Course he might have been advised not to keep gurning during interviews.
