Last night I heard Kirk say that Maria and Pablo are off the hook. Again I seem to have missed this storyline as I can't remember any of what happened after Caz called immigration services.
It looks like I will have to trawl back through the iPlayer to find what I have missed although I am sure I have watched every episode.
I didn't think it was investigated yet but is this why Maria went to see her "husband" Pablo, but I do switch off a bit at Maria's storylines :o so maybe you are correct

As far as I know we haven't been told what happened yet (unless I missed it too!). Hopefully Maria will explain it when she gets back.

That was a pathetic attempt by Amy to look upset, taking it out on a poor post box.

I agree

Michelle's attempt at looking upset wasn't much better!
After two whole episodes of Michelle gnashing her teeth about the baby's health, Steve's all clear just as she'd come to terms with the situation was soooo predictable. Also, her new "friendship" with Robert feels very contrived (I do like his realistic guilt over Anna's injuries however - something everyone involved seems to have brushed aside all too easily).
I can't say I enjoyed the episodes much (which is admittedly an unusual occurrence recently). The Alya storyline is particularly dire...

What was all that crap with the Kebab shop?
Here we go again Queen Kate does like to tease us with the possibility of an affair. Michelle and Robert. Do me a favour. I thought she has left all that clap trap behind at Emmerdale.

I dislike Michelle and Steve as a couple intensely so I wouldn't be against her having an affair with Robert in the future. However, it'd be stupid* for the Corrie team to even contemplate her having feelings for another man at the moment since they've been trying desperately to convince us how loved up the couple are for several years now (even going as far as doing something that's almost unheard of in soaps - planning to have a baby together! :eek:).
* Not that that's ever stopped them! :p

It was a device to get Alya's project off the ground with a multi-million pound order.....oh, no, hang on a minute.
I'll settle for anything that keeps Michelle, and Anna off the screen even if only for a minute or two.

I also liked the Leanne and Nick scene where he committed to wanting the baby whatever happened.
They were terrible episodes overall though. I filled in a survey asking about it earlier and I said there was far too much Michelle Connor for my liking!!!

itv in the past had always protected Coronation Street sometimes at the expense of Emmerdale. Now that Emmerdale is virtually equal in terms of ratings and share and has a cupboard overflowing with awards, what is itv going to do to protect its golden goose? What ever Emmerdale or EastEnders do, I don't think it will ever have the same affection as Coronation (Corrie) St does with viewers.
I can see EastEnders becoming the third soap in terms of ratings as this is happening many times this month.
Michelle's acting was very poor. Leanne still driving me mad i cannot stand all them painful expressions and her constantly touching her stomach to remind viewers she is pregnant.
eva and peter are getting on well

I thought Mary looked attractive tonight.
Leanne and Nick accidentally bumped into Steve three times in Monday's episodes! Also, who did Maria just happen to see the moment she stepped foot onto the cobbles? It's extremely irritating the way the residents of Coronation Street so often encounter the last people they want to (nearly as annoying as the many sudden friendships that are struck up in contrived circumstances). :wall:
The Caz "Gone Girl" storyline sounded intriguing on paper but I can't say I've found it very gripping so far. Hopefully it'll improve. (In my opinion, Aidan's leaden presence doesn't exactly help matters.)
Mary was again a high point. She had a funny line about Erica boiling bunnies but I can't for the life of me remember it. Perhaps Roger Over can help me out? :)

Mary told Dev that Erica was not a happy bunny about the shop uniforms .. in fact I would put her more on the boiling bunny spectrum :D I always find all buildups to major storylines contrived where characters meet and suddenly spend a lot of time together although they never did before ... I am normally not too bothered about it but even I found Aiden´s constant presence in Maria´s place irritating .. why would he be there ALL the time??? :wall:

I'm not sure if it would have occurred to Maria that Liam might be in danger. She'd seen Aidan so knew he'd been safely dropped off at school. Why would she think a break in at the flat or Caz possibly playing a prank would have affected him? I don't think she has any idea yet just how twisted Caz is...

A pretty badly written and acted double bill, but enjoyable all the same. Can't believe Maria has been given top billing, since when was she an A lister? The Maria and Caz stuff is ropey to say the least.
Loved the wigs in the Rovers. And Mary (sistic Peg) was the highlight for me. :D
Since when do coppers act like this? I mean walking into and sitting down next to somene in a cafe and saying stuff in front of their friends. Highly inappropriate policing

I'm finding it hard to believe the police would take Caz's supposed disappearance and the "crime scene" so seriously at the moment. When the police got involved, it had only been a short time since she was last seen, and it's not as if she's left a permanent home, family or a job without warning.
I suppose a suspension of disbelief is required - which I'm not opposed to sometimes if the storyline is well enough written.

Add to that the fact that the police responded to Kate's call quicker than the Ambulance service did when Kylie lay bleeding to death, and when the car overturned in the Anna's injury scene, then it's too farcical for words. And as for Kate, when did the brain transplant take place? She knows that Caz is a crazed stalker/bunny boiler type, so much so that she was trying to run her out of town a few weeks ago, but now she's so worried she'd take Caz's word over that of a bland resident of the Street - even before Fiz's ramblings about Maria having previous (not for murdering though - or did I miss that episode). Give your phone to the police Maria - they'll check with your provider that there was no malicious texting to Caz, then we can consign this storyline to the dustbin where it belongs!

Totally agree. It is the most preposterous storyline ever . Have they had forensics in to test if it was blood. I missed that if they did . Gosh, they all moved quickly ! So was Maria supposed to have murdered Caz and if so how did a tiny slip of a girl dispose of the body , much heavier than her, I have to say . If it wasn't so silly it would be laughable. ( or vice versa)
Spot on Brucie, police contact with the Army might have provided some info on Caz. Where are all these story researchers and consultants, at least to give the storyline a flavour of realism. Not even going to start on the Anna event ,who supposedly suffered 60% leg burns , can lie in bed with no bedframe to keep the weight and contact of bedlinen off her injuries both pre and post operative.

I am sure I saw Anna with thick boots on running down the street before the accident. I may be wrong but if I wasn't she wouldn't have had such severe burns would she ? Just need someone to play it back .

Had a look Louise , no real clarity, first clip Anna appears to be wearing ankle boots with thick, black , tight trousers . Next clip with the fire catching her, boots with loose trousers , no face shot which is I guess a stunt actor wearing flame protective clothes, Certainly flames quite extensive up the legs. Subsequent surgery required skin grafts etc.

Interesting conversation the cafe, with Cathy and Roy, Cathy going on about Maria and Caz.
Cathy mentioned an "APB, All Points Bulletin", to which Roy corrected her with the British version "APW, All Points Warning, to stop people leaving the country."
If it's issued to prevent people leaving the country, then logically to me APW should stand for All Ports Warning?
Petty probably, but it seems more correct. Does someone have any insight into this?

You would think the customers would like the gossip first hand
I think this relationship /marriage is far too soon for Roy.. I would have preferred for him to stay as friends with Cathy for much longer. There would have been so many other storylines to write for him in the meantime. He's a great actor. It's just not like Roy to fall in love easily. Him and Hailey were two oddballs - in a nicest possible way - and the likelihood of him finding a new love so quickly.. Well it's bit unrealistic..

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking last night while watching the episode. It's all far too soon for Roy. Hayley was the absolute love of his life and would take someone like Roy a long time to get over. Never mind marriage, I think even the closeness of his relationship with Cathy has been a bit forced.
I hope Roy won't go through with the wedding. He's seemed very unsure about his relationship with Cathy several times now, but talks himself (or is talked) out of it.
I wasn't against their relationship at first (despite being of the opinion that a man like Roy would probably never marry again), but I've grown to dislike them together because I feel like Cathy's all wrong for him. There's no warmth to her and she's got little patience for his endearing foibles. I really hope this incompatibility is leading to a break up.
Caz's very obvious lurking in broad daylight is getting beyond a joke now! :wall:
Hayley used to get annoyed with him a lot and they had ups and downs. Thats all part of a relationship. You cannot get the same thing twice he is a realistic sensible man. Yes they partnered him quickly which was wrong. He should have had a few disasters before meeting soneone he wanted to marry

Just from memory, I'm not sure she got the scissors out because she was going to cut Aidan's hair with them. She opened her bag, maybe to get the clippers out, and saw the scissors with blood on.
the blood was on the end of the scissors which would be tucked away so she pulled out to use

If Aidan had any sense he'd have taken away the whole case and not just the scissors. There's bound to be enough blood transferred to the case for a forensic examination to detect.
I've got to say that, laughable as parts of this stalker storyline are, I find Caz spying on Maria very creepy. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/afraid/smileys-afraid-990255.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)

Because the writers are not capable of writing plots based around normal thinking.
Im all sorts of confused with the stalker/claimed murder story line. Caz had no money, so wouldnt the purchase of a wire less web cam come up on the credit card bill Maria got? She would know she didnt buy it?

It depends where Caz bought it I suppose. On my credit card bill the name of the shop/online store in which I bought the goods is what's listed rather than individual items. If Caz bought the camera in a shop called "Spies R Us" then even Maria might have an inkling of what Caz is up to. :D
Of course Maria (or the police) could contact the shop, but I think that much common sense is asking a bit much of the Corrie writers!
It's also possible Caz withdrew cash using the card.
Maybe Caz has the billing address different to Maria´s or made it online to a new email address she created so Maria is unaware
I thought Caz would change the billing address but it seems she hasn't since Maria received the bill in the post.
I know it is done to push Maria and Aidan together but would Eva really not mind her boyfriend staying with another woman over night? Nothing stopping her staying there too??? And the boys started to play poker while Michelle was there .. yet she only realised when it was all over to mention that she could lose her licence????

Didn't Maria tell Kirk she was expecting a new credit card in the post just before she went away and to look out for it. I can't recall the police ever speaking to Kirk ,which would have been a priority considering he was left in charge of the flat in Marias' absence. Also the police were going to check cctv footage at the cashpoint where the card was used,don't recall any result and even if no facial i/d they're completely different physically.
This week has shown the weakness in Coronation Street, with weak scripts and poor acting.
I liked the Nazir stuff. Yasmeen in particular has become a good character in my opinion. Also, I enjoyed Michael beating Phelan and Vinny at poker, and his discussion with Anna about the former.
Unfortunately, although I thought the Caz stalking Maria storyline sounded intriguing on paper (or should that be on screen? :D), the way it's playing out is extremely disappointing.
What a joke this maria /caz storyline is!!! Corrie is finally finished.. Ridiculous..

Same here.
Ironically, the only characters I cared about in Monday's episodes were two I've previously disliked the most: Anna and Michael. Anna is so much more sympathetic and human coping with her awful burns, and Michael's far more compelling when he's needling Phelan knowingly rather than simpering and cringing.
I'm really disappointed David isn't wracked with guilt over Anna's injuries. He's a psycho but not quite a full blown one, and I hoped his apparent initial deep guilt about Anna (which lasted all of one episode!) would add another dimension to his character. I should have known that was asking too much!
The less said about the idiotic Caz/Maria storyline the better! :moonie:

Irene deserves all she gets by this point, many have warned her about Phelan, shes seen the signs but ignored them out sheer bloody mindedness. She asked her employer to leave his place of work to have a private chat with her lover? A man who screwed over the now mother of his daughter.
Hope fay gets some dirt off that phone she nicked.
Sarah never learns, selling out everyone because "I loves the man " All of why they ended up here was because she wouldnt listen that Callum was a vile turd and thus then tried to kill her and she had to be saved.
forgot tp go advanced agin..
fast for i love yous for gary and sarah

Adam taking on Robert. Yeah right, Robert would knock him out with one punch. Eileen you deserve everything you get. Daniel looks like he could be an interesting character. The only downside is the fact Corrie sometimes do not develop their characters and can be card board cut outs. At the moment Adam is coming across as an idiot, which is probably what they are intending to start with. I hope we see more depth to the character as time goes on. We will see ...... Daniel I am looking forward to finding out more.
Well its lucky for Tracy that the other siblings do not stoop as low as her . He could gave retaliated and said she was not his real daughter and she should sling her hook.

Nah, he just did that to put Eileen off the scent about him going to Mexico. He's very good, very devious.
Another good move by him: I thought those tiles he got delivered at short notice - weren't they the ones Eileen ordered & paid for on impulse a few weeks back?

I reckon that's Phelan all over. Excelllent last minute thinking. He knew Rodwell was very suspicious of him hiding something in that backpack, so by putting a ring in there in case of some hassle, then Rodwell finds the ring, as if Phelan was saving it for later. Phelan proposes to Eileen. It saves Phelan's bacon and makes Rodwell look stupid all in one go.
I remember months ago we had a scene where Phelan managed to get at the CCTV recording in the builder's yard and remove incriminating evidence of him up to no good. He's a master at covering his tracks, and we all love to hate him for it.

You are probably right ... He might have got the ring for just the scenario you describe..
And we are meant to believe that Phelan didn't miss his phone before that..?
And that Anna would want anything to do with him after everything?
The whole soap has gone so ridiculous..Is this Kate Oates doing? I don't like most storylines at the moment...nothing realistic, heartwarming going on, only crime, lies and misery..I don't even care what happens with this Phelan story as it's been going on too long now. And Maria can rot in prison, I don't miss her either.. So nothing really to keep me glued on the screen..

Ha ha! Yes, a great comedy couple, for sure.I think there could be potential for them to have their own spin-off series: The World According to Brian amd Mary, where they take on bureaucrats and beat them at their own game by using the bureaucrats own rules to win.

Poor Michael. :(
the ring could be one he was going to keep or sell and came in handy making mikey look bad and eileen happy
I supposed that Phelan had rushed out and bought the ring when he realised Michael would confront him over the mysterious contents of his rucksack. I don't think it was pre-planned because otherwise he would have got the correct ring size.
He commented that he'd lost his phone so he'd already missed it by the time it was mentioned.
Anna would do anything to get rid of Phelan once and for all which is why she set up the meeting with him. I think she'd have met him in a public place in reality though. He was so cruel to her (and Michael too obviously :p)!
I wish Brian would be brought back permanently.

Nobody had been there that day until Todd arrived. There wouldn't have been many casual passers by because it appeared to be situated slightly away from a road, and I think Michael was lying behind a pile of something or other.

There are only two places in the United Kingdom where that happens - Coronation Street and Albert Square.
Kate phones the police to say that Maria has murdered Caz and the police are all over the street in seconds flat, despite zero evidence of even a death, let alone a murder. Anna tells the police that Phelan was involved in Michael's death, and despite there being a body discovered in potentially suspicious circumstances, do the police bother to cross the road and knock on Phelan's door? No, of course they don't.

It's true she came across as a crazy woman but she already knew they were never going to take her seriously.
Anna's one of my least favourite Corrie characters but I could understand her frustration in that scene: Phelan tormented and destroyed her and family, and now she knows he's had a hand in defenceless Michael's death. Plus, time and time again she's been treated as delusional when she's warned others. I think I'd be shrieking in her place too!

Her name is Jacqueline Pilton.
She has had two roles in Emmerdale, Mavis Cathcart and Doris. She has also appeared in Corrie before as "The woman at the Freshco Butchery Counter"! (in 2000)
She has appeared in a number of other TV series and Dramas including Doctors, Heartbeat, Home Fires and Jane Eyre. Probably her biggest part was as Primrose Shipman in Harold Shipman - Doctor death.
so all blame on vinnie but phelan did looked worried when police left how long before eileen welcomes him back
I could not believe Eileen slapped him.
Pats going to play the victim to the hilt, Todds never going to rat him out and not even Gary believes Anna.

I remember asking this on a spoiler thread months ago and wondering if they'd rented it or something. You pointed out that someone needn't own a building to get planning permission for it but that the owner had to give permission for the changes (or something along those lines).
I think we can safely say they didn't spend any big money acquiring the building however they went about it, but perhaps Jason's "investment" paid for leasing it temporarily? (If I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, that's because I don't. :D)
Anyway, with the Corrie plod on the case I'm sure it'll all become as clear as mud in no time... :p

Phelan's almost certainly got a cartload of dodgy contacts who might be cajoled/threatened into helping cover for him. I doubt it'll ever be fully explained though. The fact that we never got to hear his explanation to the police probably says it all...

Surely when two people go into business the bank has to have two partners signing the cheques and how did Eileen have access to the money to buy the tiles ??. 30K ?? That had me puzzled all the time ... first Eileen spending all that money on tiles without the "developer´s" knowledge and approval .. then Vinny goes and empties the "business account" ... I do wish the writers would be rather more realistic :angry::wall:

Michael's funeral was arranged quickly, I wonder who is paying for it, did Gail have him insured?

I doubt she had insurance ... also, surely there would have to be an autopsy and inquest to find out how he died? ???
how forgiving is the street residents of phelan, they all just love him

Totally agree. Not one of them is suspicious any more and as for Eileen inviting him back to live in her house. …..it is truly mind boggling . How can she or anyone else believe that he will pay it back.:angry:
adam and daniel live together, they don't get along
ken's stroke recovery needs consistency
were michael and gail still married or divorced?

If matey was such a renowned crook how could anyone not round on Phelan and Todd. Then the time of death of Michael would of placed Phelan on the site witnessed by Gary.
Shame Shaun didnt just punch Brian for trying to get him booted from his home or just threaten too maybe, Im not pro violence, but to try and poison Norries like that was vile.
Sharas very quick to write off £15.000 cant remember her being a huge fan of Michael and shes only a low paid bar maid, surely she should be baying for Phelan and Tods blood as neither would be able to defend that no work had been done on the site and why cant the site be sold on to recoup some monies?
All very weak.

It's perfectly understandable that the community and even Eileen have forgiven Phelan.
The razor sharp Weatherfield police - having carried out a lengthy and painstaking investigation using the finest intellect on the force and most cutting-edge forensic techniques known to mankind - have concluded that dastardly evil genius Vinny fooled the naive and gullible builder*. What else could anyone do but get down on bended knee and grovel for Phelan's forgiveness after making such vile and unfounded accusations against an obviously innocent man? :searchme:
* It turns out Vinny had hidden several gigantic speakers outside and had been playing an audio recording of a busy building site on a loop. He'd also paid a couple of dodgy types to walk past the office several times an hour wearing hard hats to make it seem as if there was lots of workmen coming and going. It's no wonder he had poor Phelan fooled... :(

Michael and Gail were still married. They were going to renew their vows.
Was the "site office" remote as it was afternoon before Todd found Michael .. normally those offices are in populated areas so that customers can see the advertisement, I believe ... might be wrong though ..
The whole story is bonkers .

So Norris is quids in, the Donald Trump of Weatherfield. :)
sean is in emily's room, brian in norris room, is house only 2 bedrooms now norris in front room the living room?
I couldn't understand the Barlow family's overreaction to the initial discovery of Daniel's living situation. So he lied about living with his mum? The fierceness of their accusations implied that he'd committed a heinous crime. :wall:

The money Norris is charging ,he'll have tents erected in the back garden.
I think they are living in Tardis's houses small on the outsde and huge and majic space inside
I do not know how the barlows and platts fit in their houses and Eileen virtually runs a B&B

Elastic houses. The Platts had the garage converted into a bedroom though.........Jason did it in about a week and decorated it ready for Gail. (Kylie laid the carpet).Magic builder. Gail slept there until they discovered Callum's body then she freaked out . Despite that there were at least 8 at one time. David, Kylie, Max, Lily, Gail, Michael, Sarah, Harry, Bethany .

I am sorry but is the investigation into Michael being on the site and his death and also the scam all done, no reporting by the Gazette or any other local newspaper or can Sally as a Councillor even do anything, was she helping to get planning permission?
All forgotten because he is very sorry, hangs his head but he will pay it all back. Was that a pig I saw flying????

I hope the investigation isn't done, but since Sarah said the police have confirmed the scam was all Vinny (or words to that effect) and Michael's funeral is done and dusted, it certainly sounded as if the police have washed their hands of it all. Let's hope there's more to come (though I won't be holding my breath!).
I'm amazed that there are now two preposterous main stories running in Corrie. The Caz/Maria stalking storyline sounded intriguing in the spoilers, but it's turned out to be ludicrous. The Phelan/Vinny storyline started out really well and even had the potential to be a classic in my opinion, but it's now been ruined by massive plot holes.
Were Kate Oates' Emmerdale storylines similarly so badly thought out and plotted?

anyone who gave the 15 k are morons asking no questions or not visiting, they even believe todd and phelan never visited the work site so didn't know the work being done was not being done, all blame on vinny, so many holes

No-one seems to be interested in the fact that no work has been done on site and that no preparations have been made for any work. Oh, yes, it's all Vinny's fault I forgot. Phelan apparently didn't notice that nothing was being done. So that's alright then. Even if that was the case, it is sheer negligence that Phelan and Todd (and Eileen as it happens) didn't check themselves on the progress of the work having taken the buyers' money.
And, as tammy mentioned, where is Sally in all this? She should be insisting on a full inquiry into what has gone on and how her constituents have lost all their money.
did todd and phelan not keep the buyers up to date on work "being done" so they didn't visit, mikey was telling sarah to visit but todd put her off, how again?
phelan put rita off visiting

What I don´t get is that nobody questioned how Vinny was able to make a runner with all the money.... when told in the Rovers, nobody seemed to be bothered ...I would have thought that Phelan - and Vinny - would have made different arrangements with access to the account after Eileen spent all that money on the tiles too :hmm:

Phelan said they were going to arrange a site visit on Thursday and invited them all to come to that, thinking that he'd be long gone to Mexico before then.
Just a thought. Phelan didn't have a car so how did he get to the site? Can't believe Vinny would call for him to give him a lift every day . Did anyone ever see Phelan in a hard hat . So many clues that nothing was happening yet not one person was suspicious. .
:wall:

Would Phelan not have Jason´s van? And I also think the site office was not far as Eileen, Todd and Michael seemed to walk there ??
Ah yes, Jason's van. Just a thought …where do the residents park their cars? They miraculously appear when needed.
A normal street would have loads of cars parked on it

Or in Adam Barlow´s case ... disappear :lol:
Haq mehr is money a groom gives to his bride. It is agreed how much between both of them. Some people ask for ridiculous amounts and the groom can spend years paying it.
I only asked for a token amount as my husband did'nt have much
Its supposed to provide security for the woman in case something goes wrong i think
