I am just glad it is winter time ... so many actresses in all soaps pregnant at the moment, at least they can wear big coats to hide their bumps although they are still visible in some scenes, especially with Eva :D
Haha, true, Eva does suddenly look more pregnant and is probably quite glad for that big coat/cardigan. Sonia in Neighbours has been hiding behind a pot plant!

Oh Jason you idiot. Definitely one of Weatherfields unluckiest in love.
Whoever described him as nice but dim had it spot on. Fair play Eva...I'd have chucked a drink as well.
Todd is just horrid.
Sometimes I despair at the Corrie writers. "When they're married, we'll be officially brothers in law." If Andy were Gavin, he and Nick would be step brothers, not brothers in law.
I caught the omnibus today and think Nick said they would be brothers in law, meaning according to law???

tyrone offering to mind jack for kevin who had an affair with his wife molly unbelievable only in soaps way too forgiving and forgetful
They are business partners too though and I guess Kevin's absence for a year or so has helped heal wounds. But on the whole you are right, in soaps people fall out really bad but quickly forgive and forget

I agree generally but in this case perhaps
Tyrone was more concerned about
Jack than Kevin. He did think.Jack was
his son for some time and perhapd didnt
want.him left with the phantom babysitter!!!

Secrets always have a habit of getting out sooner or later in soaps.

If people didn't forgive and forget to an unnatural extent in soaps most of the characters wouldn't speak to each other. :D

Steve still has the kids voice and stupid face look.
Had to laugh at some of the unintentional innuendo in tonights Corrie from Liz, Tracy and Tony.
Tracyluv "He was helping me look for a cat"
Liz to Tony "Watch that one Tony, give her an inch and......."
Oh err Missus

An enjoyable double bill. Funny scenes with Tracey and Tony. I thought Eva's exit was a little weak.

why not? Ruby and Hope have sat with the phantom often enough??
Todd was creepy towards the end - promising to 'look after' Eileen and Jason.....
Yes, I thought the same, Sarah ....
Todd was creepy towards the end - promising to 'look after' Eileen and Jason.....
I just hope he gets found out. Why does Corrie revel in these horrible people who want to get one on

Todd blames him and his mum for getting beat up and ending up with the permanent scar on his cheek and is out for revenge
I remember that storyline but WHY does he blame them ? Can't remember .
He wanted to take them out to the Bistro for a meal to make up for being horrible and telling lies about why he left London ... They stood him up, he got attacked when he made his way home again

So it is their fault he got beaten up ? That is warped thinking, isn't it ? :wall:
and his scar hardly shows??!!
It is, nevertheless, a constant reminder
Why they had to give him a personality transplant I will never know. There are enough nasty people on the Street , trying to do each other down . Can't we have some heart warming story lines for a change ?

Hmm Todd was always a bit iffy?
he had his problems with Sarah Lou and struggling with his sexuality but he wasn't nasty . Maybe my memory is failing me .

Todd was ok until he came back from London

he did freak out a bit I seem to remember when Sarah lou got preganant with Billy - but maybe that was because he was trying to shag her brother at the time also??.....
I think Eva's leaving-storyline was not good at all..I don't believe that if you truly love someone you would just dump them if they thought you were having an affair with their dad. Wouldn't you just laugh it off after initial shock? That's what old Eva would have done-and myself. Not believable reason to end relationship. Why couldn't she just go to New York to see her mom for a while-and no stupid break up storyline needed..? Sometimes I just don't get these writers..
And Lloyd accusing Steve. Not once did anyone explain as it really happened-these boy racers who caused the accident, and that Steve was actually diagnosed with depression long before. And no one hasn't said anything about Sinead not wearing seatbelt. I hope Steve doesn't forgive Lloyd for what he's said. Get yourself another mate-and business partner.

Thank you mariba, I felt like I was going to explode when I watched Lloyd's attitude and I wish Chesney would give it a rest too .. The whole thing was an accident and Steve will not have been the first nor the last person involved in a car crash that leaves the scene, not because of guilt but because of shock!!! I can imagine that somebody in Steve's position will feel very nervous getting back behind the wheel of a car after that experience.
I also agree, Eva should have had a different storyline for leaving, like visiting her gran for a while ....

I'm not clear how long Eva is going to America for. If she is going to New York to live with her mother permanently she would need a visa, which she couldn't possibly have got in a couple of hours!

I'm glad Steve's depression is still an ongoing storyline but is anyone else feeling really irritated that it keeps being referred to as "clinical" depression (especially by Michelle). Yes, I understand that's the official diagnosis but no one speaks like that in real life. I know they want to remind us that Steve's properly ill and not just a bit down in the dumps but talk about hammering it home!!
Am I being overly pedantic about this? :o
Had to laugh at some of the unintentional innuendo in tonights Corrie from Liz, Tracy and Tony.
Was it unintentional though? :D
Todd was creepy towards the end - promising to 'look after' Eileen and Jason.....
I wonder what he's got in store for Eileen? :eek:

I agree, but people can be very self-conscious about small things. Ever gone out with a zit and felt everybody was staring at it?
Why they had to give him a personality transplant I will never know. There are enough nasty people on the Street , trying to do each other down . Can't we have some heart warming story lines for a change ?
I know I'm in a minority but I find nasty Todd quite entertaining. :o
I'd much rather watch him than the vile Tracey and Tony. :sick:
I think Eva's leaving-storyline was not good at all..I don't believe that if you truly love someone you would just dump them if they thought you were having an affair with their dad.
I don't think I could forgive a boyfriend who jumped to the conclusion I was having an affair with his dad on such weak circumstantial evidence. I'd find it incredibly insulting and would feel it showed a complete lack of trust in me.
And Lloyd accusing Steve. Not once did anyone explain as it really happened-these boy racers who caused the accident, and that Steve was actually diagnosed with depression long before. And no one hasn't said anything about Sinead not wearing seatbelt. I hope Steve doesn't forgive Lloyd for what he's said. Get yourself another mate-and business partner.
I agree, but it'll soon be forgiven and forgotten as everything is in soaps. :)

That's right. As long as the stay will be for less than 90 days and they have a return ticket they wouldn't need a visa (with some exceptions).
why was michelle looking up liz's skirt weird scene for stocking the pub
:lol: Steve to Eileen feeling her biceps: Can you lift a barrel :D
is lager not beer too? eileen will be one of the rovers best barmaids :p
Yes, Lager is a type of beer but so is Bitter and various Ales, there is a slight difference in taste so I think that is quite important to know the difference if you work behind a bar :)

heavier!
Hope her new boyfriend is a bit more
her size!!
I didn't enjoy last night's Corrie much because Tracey and Tony had so much screen time. I've never had any time for Tracy and dislike Tony immensely. Together they make me want to gag (if they're pawing each other :sick:) or throw something at the TV. :thumbsdow
Liking Eileen behind the bar though. :)

That's what makes Tracy 'THE Tracy'-her vile character. I just love her witty comments-same as her mom Deirdre and grandma Blanche! :D I liked her even more again when she was with Rob-it was huge mistake to make Rob a killer and let the actor go-they were good together. I do wish, that when the time comes to write off Deidre( :( ) -that we would see a softer side of Tracy for a change. And I hope that Amy would grow up bit nicer than what she is at the moment..Loved her winding up Norris with Blanche's ghost though! :D

I agree about Rob. I can't stand Tracy and didn't like Rob much but they seemed to bring out the best in each other. Kate Ford's acting has got even worse since he left. Tracy does have some funny lines but that's the best I can say about her.
It didn't take her long to get over Rob, did it? We had to endure about a fortnight of hair-tearing self-pity just for her to revert to her gleefully snide self a few days later. What a farce! At least Liz temporarily wiped the smile off her face last night, but she'll no doubt pay dearly for that.
I was absolutely gobsmacked last night when Owen mentioned EastEnders' Linda Carter (until I realised he was talking about Wonder Woman's Lynda Carter :o :D)!!! (Coincidentally, EE's Linda Carter mentioned Woman Woman last night too. Spooky! :eek:)

Don't blame them, googling a birth video is never a good idea!
I like how Craig is trying to make her see she needs help without lecturing her, but he needs to tell someone asap.
I never thought I would say this but I am actually enjoying Kate Plank as Tracyluv at the minute and am quite enjoying the comedy she brings in. I cannot stand the Tony sleazebag guy and doubtless have Dopey Eva been heading on Maternity Leave in the real world she and he would have had a torrid affair. As it is her and Jason shared one braincell between them so presumably Jase gets sole use of it for the next few months.
I am looking forward to the day that Tracyluv tells Our Elizabeth about Tony's dalliance in the back office and where in spite of giving her an inch she took a lot more. Liz did warn him

Seriously though, I'm amazed to read that Alan!! The day where you're enjoying Tracy is a day I never thought I'd see. :D
I agree with you about Tony so maybe it's the comparison to him that's making Tracy seem bearable at the moment? I see no improvement in Tracy at all and, as I commented a few posts back, I think Kate Ford's acting has been even worse than usual lately.
I will enjoy seeing Tony brought down a peg or two but that's more to do with my dislike for him than any positive feelings towards her!
Maybe it'd be worth you joining that waiting list, Alan. :p

Dazzle it is quite possible that my apparent Road to damascus conversion has nothing to do with Kate Planks acting abilities or rather the lack of same but probably more to do with some of the crap acting, character and storylines in Corrie at the minute.
Gail and Michael WTF
Michaels real son and his pretend son WTF. Shades of MeeeeeeeChelle and her two sons
Sinister Todd WTF
The Dev Julie Mary menage a trois WTF
The return of Jenny Bradley WTF
So as you see the Tracyluv story is probably the best of a bad bunch
Gail and Michael WTF - Agreed :D
Michaels real son and his pretend son WTF. Shades of MeeeeeeeChelle and her two sons - I'm enjoying this storyline as it involves the Platts and I like fake Gavin and Steph. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as Michelle and her two sons!
Sinister Todd WTF - I'm quite enjoying this
The Dev Julie Mary menage a trois WTF - Agreed!
The return of Jenny Bradley WTF - has potential in my opinion.
So as you see the Tracyluv story is probably the best of a bad bunch
I'd also add Steve's depression to the list which, whilst being acted well by Simon Gregson and written with care on the whole, is let down big time for me by the heavy focus on Michelle (who I dislike more than Tracy because at least the latter can be funny). :thumbsdow
None of the storylines in Corrie are exactly scintillating at the moment though so we're agreed on that. Even those with potential seem to end up being anti-climactic nowadays. :(

I should have said about the Steve storyline. Yes its good but ruined by the over emphasis on MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMeMeChelle
Have to disagree about sinister Todd. All this nastiness for a small scar. Jenny Bradley return was too contrived but as you rightly say it has potential

Tracey was amazing tonight. I loved her spat with Liz. Tracey slagging Betty's hot pot 'not some vile brown dish with gristle in it and some old veg.' Then after Liz went mad Tracey came back with 'oh take granny home she could do with a lie down.' Brilliant. :D
Callum is a snake. He knew David wouldn't allow Max to keep the presents and is wanting to turn Max against David before it gets to court. Then when the court asks Max who he'd prefer to live with (assuming both are deemed fit to care for him), result. It's not just about the now and if Callum really wanted to be a dad, he would have sought Kylie out himself to establish contact and kept a savings account for Max rather than buying presents now. Kids are easily won over by presents and he knows it.
Poor David (it's not often I say that!), he's well and truly stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. I hope he doesn't allow drug dealer Callum access to Max without supervision.
Kylie's going to have a fit when she comes back to find Callum a part of Max's life. I know she's abandoned her kids but there are extenuating circumstances and she left thinking they were in safe hands.
Poor Norris. Fancy falling for Myrtle Hargreaves' milk puddings.....
That scene was very funny and a nice, if somewhat unusual, bit of character development for Norris. It makes a change from acting like the one-dimensional spiteful gossip he's been of late.
Tracey was amazing tonight...
I expect you'll get a "Thank You" from Alan for that, given his new found love of Tracy Barlow! :p :D

I do feel sorry for David, he is a good dad but Callum is using his money I presume from drug sales to give Max expensive gifts to sway him

Oh yes...that's why Craig's featured so heavily in this storyline. I can just see Anna shrieking at him and bullying him and not listening to a word he or Faye have to say on the subject. Tim will probably overreact too even though he's such a nice guy nowadays (even Anna said so last night - talk about a turnaround!!!). Even Beth might believe he's the father at first. :wall:
It's going to be one of those situations that often crop up in Corrie (you've complained about this before if I'm not mistaken, Mariba) - the whole street turning on and blaming someone innocent. I'm not looking forward to it one bit. :thumbsdow
Of course, the writers could surprise us (and I fervently hope they do) but I somehow doubt it....

This is inevitable, and of course as a 16 year old, Craig would be threatened with a statutory rape charge, whereas Jackson would not. I can even see Anna and Co thinking that Faye is covering for Craig when she says he's not the father.

DNA. Simple.
DNA. Simple.
If only lol. Nothing's ever simple in soaps and DNA results take time to come back. We saw Steve blamed for the crash by most of the residents of Coronation Street even though the police obviously thought him entirely blameless.
Still, even if I'm right and Craig's blamed at first, luckily for him he'll no doubt be cleared by a DNA test sooner or later.
I wonder if there is a possibilty that she isnt actually pregnant
It's because of Kylie that Callum is back in their lives! I know he is only a kid but i expect Max to understand at some point that David is the real deal. Kids are not daft

It's because of Kylie that Callum is back in their lives! I know he is only a kid but i expect Max to understand at some point that David is the real deal. Kids are not daft
Kids are not daft but Max will have to feel let down by Max before he will realise that; at the moment, all he sees are the presents and fun times Callum is giving him

This. If Max was into his teens, then maybe he'd have realised that from the off. A boy of Max's age is likely more forgiving and won't focus on the reason for the absence or how long it's been, just the now. I wouldn't put it past Callum to claim that Kylie wouldn't allow him to see him, and since he's now there and Kylie's not, it would add up as far as Max is concerned.
Jackson and his family being cast is good news for Craig at least. If he's blamed at first it's obviously not going to be for long.
I think Owen changed his tune with Linda when she said she'd tell the girls that she forgives Owen for cutting her out of his lives. It's obviously worked on Katy, and Izzy felt left out when they went up to the flat last night so it looks like she's going to forgive him soon too. Anna's right to be worried about Owen's feelings for Linda. He isn't half making them obvious!
Loving that Eileen behind the bar is causing a headache for Michelle and Liz. Long may this situation continue! :D
I'm quite disappointed that Steve appears to be recovering so well and back to work full time already. I know these things are sped up for soaps (and that they don't want to bore viewers) but the speed of his recovery is quite hard to swallow. I'm hoping there'll be more bumps in the road for him to navigate.
Regarding Steve-where did all the money come from to sort out his financial problems like paying wages to people?? Seems to be forgotten subject already as well..
I can fully understand why Owen likes spending time with Linda rather than Anna! :D

Plus more classy and beautiful than Anna, and not screaming and nagging 24/7

The money came from the Rovers but I think there's more to come with this story.

I think it's more to do with never having stopped loving her. That's why he was still so angry about the affair.
I do hope that if Katy and Owen go, that they would take Izzy with them as well..Faye could move in with her dad and Sally and Anna..well, we could just forget about her..she could be invisible. ;)

Soap money comes and goes.
Emily released the equity in her house through Richard Hillman ( which was actually the Duckworths money that they invested in him) and gave it to Spider as his inheritance, now Norris owns the house.
What did Kevin and Sally do with the scratch card money. Did Kevin buy the house? Sally couldn't afford a new sofa, where has her money gone?
Where's Carla by the way?
Steve had to borrow the money from the Rovers. He has to give it back.

Where's Carla by the way?
On another holiday
What did Kevin and Sally do with the scratch card money. Did Kevin buy the house? Sally couldn't afford a new sofa, where has her money gone?
I was wondering about that money when Kevin told Jenny he was skint recently. He and Sally ended up with £100,000 each if I remember correctly. Sophie stole £20,000 from his account (which she said she'd pay back but has never been mentioned since) but otherwise the money's still there as far as we know.
Yet another little detail we're supposed to have forgotten about, like Max's adoption and Tim's reading skills... :searchme:
I thought that Kevin ended up giving Sally nearly all of the winnings so he could be skint, not sure whether Sally used the money to pay off the mortgage?
did tyrone sell his garage shares to kevin too and kevin bought maria's house
They recently still talked about being business partners so I am sure Ty still has his shares ...
He was 'away' for a while with Jack staying with hs father and not working ....that must have dwindled his funds
I thought that Kevin ended up giving Sally nearly all of the winnings so he could be skint, not sure whether Sally used the money to pay off the mortgage?
If I remember correctly, Kevin gave Sally half the winnings so they ended up with £100,000 each.
If I remember correctly, Kevin gave Sally half the winnings so they ended up with £100,000 each.
Didn't Sophie do something with Kevin's winnings and lost it ?

The judge awarded Kevin the whole lot when they went to court but he gave it to Sally to win her back. I think Gail had a conversation with Sally where she returned half of the money so that Jack would be looked after ... I seem to remember it that way now :hmm:
Didn't Sophie do something with Kevin's winnings and lost it ?
She stole £20,000 from his account (she was conned by Ken's long lost grandson) but promised to pay it back. I presume she's still doing so since it hasn't been mentioned since. He would still have had £80,000 left but, as others have said, it might have gone on buying the house.

I always enjoy a Gail and Eileen spat, as verbally sparing partners they are great at it :p
I felt sad as Deirdre was missed tonight from the hen party and why is Ken and Audrey's sudden close friendship being explored more now, seems too soon, I know it is over a love of books but feels wrong to me
Gail saying Callum was a drug dealer to Owen and Anna was funny
Katy after what happened with Ryan has no problem letting Callum spend money of her no matter where it comes from
I like real evil Gavin he seems a good villain and has potential shame he dies soon
I liked Steph when she first arrived but this absurd storyline and relationship with Andy is ruining her
Good episodes Friday night, particularly Gail's hen night scenes: Sally pretending she'd read Anna Karenina, Gail grassing up Callum and Eileen's "sacking" (especially when she called Todd "Jason"). :D
I've got to laugh at the size of that tome Ken gave Audrey - no wonder she's balking at reading it lol. I've read Anna Karenina and it's a long novel but nowhere near that size (even War and Peace isn't that long!). :D
(It's not at all boring by the way for anyone who enjoys a novel they can really get their teeth into.)
I just can't get over that David would allow a drug dealer to take Max out unsupervised (even if he is his father). I know Corrie isn't meant to be that realistic but would anyone with an iota of sense (which I thought David had until now, at least where the kids are concerned) actually do that? There's no way he could know if Callum can be trusted with Max.
Lloyd's still sniping at Steve about the depression! :angry:
I laughed at Eileen comparing Gail and Nick to Norman Bates and his mother. It's about time the writers acknowledged that their relationship is slightly perverse, especially with the way Gail fawns simperingly (is that a word?) over Nick some times. :sick:
I felt sad as Deirdre was missed tonight from the hen party...
Deirdre would have had a ball at Gail's hen night... :(
Katy after what happened with Ryan has no problem letting Callum spend money of her no matter where it comes from
It doesn't ring true to me that she's fine with him being a drug dealer.
I did'nt like Eileen ruining Gails's hen night with her meanness. Shame they are giving her a love interest she does not deserve it with her behaviour. I did'nt find it funny at all. I thought she should have got sacked on the spot.
I enjoyed it very much, thank you! :D
Gail and Eileen have a history of being on each others throats frequently. As I've never been a great fan of Gail, and always liked Eileen, I just loved every minute of it!! It is true..how many times have Gail been married??! :D

She has been married 5 times, twice to Brian Tilsley, Michael will be 6th wedding and 5th husband
Eileen and Gail have a history because of Todd and Sarah. Todd was in the wrong a far as I can remember. Gail and Eileen should set up a support group not be arch enemies as they gave birth to the most dysfunctional kids on the street .... apart from Tracy that is.

I agree that Eileen has been particularly mean lately but I enjoyed her and Gail's spat at the hen night anyway because it was full of witty lines. I think Gail gave as good as she got, but Eileen was more out of order because she was working. I do agree that it was bullying really if you think about it. :(
I preferred Eileen in the past but they've been writing her as more and more sour-faced recently. I hope her new man cheers her up a bit.
The Rovers has a history of not sacking misbehaving bar staff. For example Tina always seemed to be abusing customers or throwing drinks over them but she was still Liz's "best barmaid". :wall:

I agree with your comments about Eileens behaviour
at work being very out order.There were funny
moments tho!
Years ago she was a much more pleasant person.
They started making her nastier at the same time
they started giving her strange( in my view)
boyfriends. Perhaps they were the punishment
she was thought to deserve!!
Not sure if she was bad enough to deserve the
fireman.Another botched/rushed health issue
story.! Altzheimers is a long illness -people don't
just have "accidents" at convenient moments!
Glad Gail showed she was able to deal with
Eileen. Just as Eileen hasnt alwats been
unpleasant Gail hasnt always been"dim"!
The main reason for Gail being dim in recent
years seems to be so David can be "funny" at her
expense.

Yes, Gail's increasing stupidity is another inexplicable character change for the worse. At least she and Michael are well suited I suppose. Michael's so dim he's nearly invisible!
I enjoyed Sally commenting on Anna Karena - having been to the loo and googled it!!!!
Yes I enjoyed that too. I love my books but the size of that one would have put me off. Whats she doing taking it into the pub anyway on a hen night. Talking off barmaids Tina also took a lot of breaks she was hardly there! Steve has miraculously recovered overnight. Ths is not helping people understand mental illness. Makes people think you can snap out of it if you really want to.

No it's not lol (well it's a lot quicker, admittedly :)). I thoroughly enjoyed the book and it gets to the heart of the characters in a way a film or TV adaption never can. It's actually one of my favourite novels.

Because we need a new current storyline that will have a positive effect on a negative audience. They will get some bright spark who will light up the place while Dev is away from OHM. Just as long as they are AC and not DC.
Might I suggest a certain Mr Watts who could fill in this vacancy on the Street circuit. After all he knows what to do with his wire. He could be a real transformer for the show and switch it back to earth after a bit of negative polarity on the grid:D

Agreed, the real Gavin makes an enjoyably nasty villain.
The wedding was boring on the whole but I did like the way the real Gavin got to tell Michael exactly how he felt about him. That way, when the truth comes out, Michael will be able to compare the lovely Andy to the unlovable Gavin and conclude he'd rather have Andy after all (which is what I hope will happen eventually).
I'm glad Gail knows about the fraud now as it ramps up the drama.

to get married by the time youngest born.
No electricity as great grandma thought it would
set house on fire. They were still living in it with
2 bachelor sons when they died -a week apart-

Andy is committing identity fraud and that is breaking the law.He is already using Gavin's National Insurance Number and she is colluding in that by telling him that he should continue to be Gavin and for what ?

I really don't see how Gail not telling Michael to save his life can be seen as selfish! I know she gains by still having him around, but there's been no sign that she's concerned for anyone other than Michael in this mess. It's killing Gail to keep the secret in my opinion.
It was always the intention to tell Michael the truth when he's well enough, after which he would have had the opportunity to try to get to know his real son, but the latter's death has scuppered that (which isn't exactly Gail's fault).

I hope Gail, Steph and Andy all get arrested for fraud over using Gavin's name and claiming wages in his name
gail can hack computers to get into pay system she aint that stupid
I think Gail committing fraud is taking things too far (even in soap land). She should have just told Gavin to quit his job at the bistro and find a job under his own name elsewhere (but that would have been a lot less dramatic of course :ninja:).
It was a bit of a contrived plot getting Chesney to allow Katie to take Joseph to Portugal. I'd have found it more realistic if she went without him in the end (as she's always seemed the least caring parent of the two to me). Or she could have taken him without telling Chesney. I don't even know if Chesney could have stopped her taking Joseph out of the country. I know a father who took legal action to stop the mother of his child moving them away but was unsuccessful (they didn't leave the UK though).
Owen's obviously not going to deal with them leaving very well.
If the Gavin/Andy/Gail/Michael story was on EE I would be one of the first to criticise it. Just because its on Corrie makes no difference. Its like coal from China "FAR FETCHED" and like Polo Mints "FULL OF HOLES" I could say its full of S**t too

Have we even seen him smile yet? He's had the same facial expression since he's arrived. I mean I know he's in a rubbish predicament and all that, but please crack a smile soon! I like him with Steph and think they make a good pairing. And anything that puts Gail central to all the action is good with me! Not a clue how this is all going to end though, it is right that justice is served to them all but I like all their characters.
The chicken story with the Nadirs is so boring, and I don't care for Sean and the vicar either. Emily saying 'get over yourself' was amusing though :D
On a shallow note, the actor playing Callum is really hot ... Nice to see a bad boy on the Street causing trouble.
I have never been a big fan of Chesney or Katy, but I think both actors did pretty well acting out this story with Katy deciding to leave. I still can't really warm to Sinead either, but Beth is great. I liked her loyalty to Sinead when she was standing up to Chesney not being there.

The Gavin/Andy storyline is so preposterous, that I actually love it! It's so ridiculous, but I am finding the whole saga very entertaining :D I do wish "Gavin" would smile soon though...

He must have smiled when he got together with Steph...didn't he? :hmm:

I like the vicar and Emily was great in yesterday's episodes. I'm dubious Billy would have got back together with Sean after witnessing his attack on poor Emily though. I know as a man of god he's into forgive and forget and all that, but is nasty Sean really a suitable partner for such a good guy?

I'm a fan of Callum's too! :wub:
I know he was absolutely vile when he dumped Katy but I suspected he gave her the push for her own good so she'd go to Portugal. Or am I giving him too much credit? :D

Has anyone bothered to ask how Deirdre is, or have they forgotten her already.
She has been staying with Beverley for a long while now.

No, not too much credit at all. He was obviously only horrible to her, as he wanted to motivate her to go and seize a big opportunity. He seems thoughtful like that ;) :D Callum looked really hot in that suit yesterday! Scrubbed up well. I found it funny that Gail and Callum's mum ended up getting along really well!

So Sinead can just leave hospital like that in a taxi despite her serious injury
I wish Ches put up more of a fight for his son, it is not all about money
I like Callum especially now I know he is a Man City fan
I am surprised Sinead is still in hospital.
They usually send you home and call you in for physio or someone would be trying to get her discharged and should be looking at disability access at home
There was no disability access at home. What would have happened if she needed to go to the loo.
I like fake Gavin
I like Sean better than the Vicar. I know two priests that live together openly and everyone knows. They don't hide it .....but then we are in London.
Gail makes me laugh with her fluttering eyelashes

Well-I know an Irish catholic priest living in rural countryside and he's fairly openly gay-so I'm surprised it's such a big deal in UK and in city as big as Manchester?!
I've always been a fan of Sean-he's not nasty, just honest..always has been. And please remember Sean has known Emily for quite a long time, unlike for Billy she's just an old lady from his parish. Emily can take much more from Sean than if he was some total stranger. Thats what made Sean upset too was that because he's known Emily for a long time and yet he felt that Emily didn't accept his relationship with Billy.

I'm glad to see that a little bit of attention's still being paid to the Steve depression storyline.
Callum's veneer of respectability didn't last long. That must have cheered David up no end. Callum's mum's so respectable - I half expected there to be a twist that she was playing Gail to get her onside! What can she think of her son's lifestyle? She can't be under any illusions since David openly referred to him as a dealer. :searchme:

Doing a wordsearch puzzle together! :D
Has anyone bothered to ask how Deirdre is, or have they forgotten her already.

I expect the episodes we're seeing now are caught up to when Anne Kirkbride was dying or even had died. The Corrie team won't have decided how to approach her death yet. Anyway, I think it's fairly safe to assume that Ken and Tracy are speaking to Deirdre regularly on the phone. We don't need to be told every detail.

That's good to know (and Mariba's example too). The elderly residents of Weatherfield must be particularly narrow minded!

The fact that Sean's known Emily for years makes his behaviour worse in my opinion. She's never shown any indication of homophobia, so to jump down her throat like that was unforgivable in my opinion. :angry:
anyone else think bethany looks like sinead
I actually thought that she could pass as Sarahs daughter.

She is suppose to be 14, so a year or two older than Faye, she looks much older to me near around David's age
Did Jenny kill her own child or a child?
Why is Roy being like that with Nazir. He has just heen nice to him

The allotment seems to be another very silly story involving Nazir. Very sorry to see Roy being dragged down to his level.
It was quite funny though to see Nazir and Roy fighting over the space and about what to grow!! :D I've tarted to like Nazir more and more. And Roy-no conspiracy theories needed, it was just a pack of eggs! We get them from our neighbours every now and then :) I bet Roy will get that allotment next to Nazir and they'll be at war all the time! :D I quite enjoy this story.
Andrea 'killing' the chair was funny..it wasn't funny though when they decided to fix it??! What? That old chair?! Well, at least it they fixed Lloyds and Steves friendship with it - kind of :)
That Jenny really is weird..Kevin looks suddenly so old by the way..like an old alcoholic..sadly. :(
Where do all these people sleep in Platt's house??? Everyone just keep disappearing upstairs-are we meant to believe there's mansion up there?? There's Gail and Michael, David, Max&Lily and now Bethany..and as far as I know Sarah will be back soon too..So they would need 4-5 bedrooms at least..!! Or are David, Max and Lily sleeping in one room?

I believe the alloment next to Nazir/Roy's belongs to a widow, (recently widowed) that Roy be-friends (no romance)
and we know Max has his own room at least, as when David bought the house, he wanted Gail to move into the box-room (Max') to give Max more room?
and I think Jenny has had an 'incident' whilst looking after a child, or near a child in the past where by it was hurt or worse and that is why she is panicy etc around jack when Kevin isnt there?
Another elastic house then! :D :D

Did the Platts ever have the garage converted into a room for David or am I imagining that?
I am sure that did happen but I don't know whether the garage is still being used
She is suppose to be 14, so a year or two older than Faye, she looks much older to me near around David's age
Did Jenny kill her own child or a child?
I think that Jenny's experienced a child's accidental death, probably her own. I get the feeling from the way Sophie's attacking her that she'll end up being sympathetic when the whole story's revealed.
I hated Bethany in her first few scenes but ended up quite liking her by the end. I'd say she looks about 18ish, but her voice sounds much younger. I thought it was a bit contrived the way Andy ended up in the pub buying drinks for her.
That's nothing compared to the continued contrivances of the silly but hugely entertaining fake Gavin storyline of course! How on earth is Gail going to attend both the funeral and the mediation session? :D
I liked the sarcastic banter between Bethany and David too, but then David works well with everyone.
Roy and Sharif could work quite well as bickering friends.

I cannot take credit for this, but it make me laugh out loud. Somebody on DS has described Bethany Platt as Bet Davis and Baby Jane. spot on! Heavens, what an outfit. For those of you wipper snappers who have not got a clue what I am banging on about, google Bet Davis and 'What ever happened to Baby Jane.' :D I thought Milan was the fashion capital of the world.
I see what you mean. I had to keep turning away when she was rolling her eyes it was off putting. Betty Davis had amazing eyes.
