The Bethany grooming storyline is hard to watch. :(
I am struggling with it too. How stupid of Rana to leave her. She works for NHS so will have been trained in safeguarding.i thought the three girls out on a night was so badly acted.

I agree nobody in their right mind would have done that and Rana being a professional in the NHS as well. I know you need poetic licence, but that doesn't ring true.

Does Rana even know who Nathan is ? She should have insisted , I agree. Why didn't she ?
She doesn't really know Bethany that well so she wouldn't have known her friends. She's going to feel guilty now and Sarah is not going to forgive her easily.

they all live near each other would know her age so being drunk with an older man wasn't good
I really felt sorry for Steve and Michelle. Their scenes on the beach were very moving.

They were, so it's a shame those lovely scenes were spoilt by being used as a plot device in the same episode as the birth of Leanne's baby in order to rub salt in Steve's wound. I thought that was a bit cheap.
The Drugs... oh boy ... Rossie was always a bit IQ challenged but I think they more than pushed it too far, her sister is suposed to be clever yet jsut sucks up Rossies stupidity.
Its simple just tell ya ex man Rossie in prison who stole the drugs off you, no police will be involved and a large man with a car iron will get the money off Adam in no time. Adam can go squealing to the Police all he wants it wouldnt get him anywhere apart from a charge of dealing.

been better if steve didn't turn into a buffoon for comedy which it wasn't
I did'nt really watch the scenes this time round as i think it is overkill. It is just too over the top some times. I am sympathetic to people losing babies etc dont get me wrong. My sister in law had a still born and another brother lost a 2. Year old.

He wasn't a buffoon in those scenes at all.!!

I cheered Roy when he told Brain to pay for that cake. :cheer:
but he has fallen for his tricks. What can Cathy see in a character like Brian. He is such a user. He did not seem like that when he was with Julie.
He wasn't a buffoon in those scenes at all.!!
chasing the dog falling over
eva didn't want to visit her sister and new nephew instead liam
I think its wrong that all these people visited as soon as she got home. That used to annoy me as your all over the place. Next day is not long to wait

Is Leanne leaving it open for Steve's name to be on the birth certificate, that's what Nick will be thinking for why else would she do it that makes any sense to him?
I agree though that she cannot put Nicks name on the birth certificate. It is wrong and it is a lie and can do untold damage when the truth comes out eventually, however many years later. What that could do to the child doesn't bear thinking about, thinking that the man he knew as his father wasn't his father.
I've been thinking - not judging anyone's decision - but, do many parents really get their newborn babies cremated in case of a death? I just thought it's not very common thing to do....
There's also too many baby storylines at the moment.
i have thought this too about the cremation
Could it be something to do with the fact it was born before 24 weeks old or stillborn?

I think now after the baby's birth and given her own situation with her birth mother Stella, Leanne knows lying is wrong but you can see Nick is hurt by it
It is a shame that Steve is the dad as I do like the Michelle and Leanne scenes, their friendship while it came about fast as both were pregnant at the same time just seems natural and genuine
The smirk from Peter as he knows the truth
Simon did not seem very interested in his new sibling, I wonder will he feel left out as this is Leanne's biological son, will his anger issue come back?
The right name has to be on the birth certificate she cannot lie forever. When the child is old enough she should tell him as well
I think what will be more damaging is that Steve didnt want to know or own up to her/him or take responsibility or even care about them post conception.
Nick needs to walk away, its been made clear now that he will never be more than that bloke to the kid.
So why again is blonde barmaid looking after the jailed hairdressers kid? That s/l makes no sense to me

She is best mates with kid´s mother and feels obliged to support her while in prison and looking after little Liam will reassure his mum that he is looked after properly .. or so blonde barmaid is thinking ...
Feel sorry for blonde barmaid and Michelle
Well that was a good ending
steve finally with the truth think leanne is relieved
You would think nick would have helped leanne when he saw her face smashed in. I mean it was a very strange reaction
Michelle said she punched Leane, the visuals looked like more of s slap.
This was Steves mess, created when he wasnt with Michelle and |eane with Nick. A light slap is one thing, a full on punch to the face is another, a punch that could of killed leane as it made her fall and thats when sucker punch is deadly when the victim hits their head on the floor.
Nicks reaction was strange, me I would of called the Police.
Steve announcing Oliver's true paternity so soon was an unexpected twist.
I felt really sad for poor traumatised Michelle - seeing Steve fall in love with his other, living baby son was a cruel blow. I can't see them ever mending their marriage after all the grief and lies.

I think he was in shock because he knew his dream of a family had crumbled to dust. He really does love Oliver and I felt very sorry for him.

Hi there I am new here :) I was very cross with Nick at his reaction to Leanne's bloodied nose, poor girl just had a baby and gets whacked in the face. Nick seems to be in a world of his own, he knows his world is falling apart round his ears, but the least he could have done was comfort her, after all she is supposed to be the love of his life.
Poor Leanne .

Hi 2shy2007, and welcome to Soapboards. :)
I agree Nick should have comforted Leanne at the very least, and I think he would have done in the normal course of events. Unfortunately, when we've been shattered, we often don't behave normally - he was in a world of his own as you say. Hopefully he'll recover from his shock and be more supportive from now on.

I thought Leanne deserved what she got from Michelle for the deception and was surprised by Nick's (non)reaction but after consideration I can understand his behaviour.

I was not expecting Oliver's paternity to be revealed so quickly! I was so shocked with last night's episode. I thought the cliffhanger of the first episode was going to be explained away with everyone thinking Steve was just grieving and didn't mean what he was saying.
Kym Marsh has been brilliant these last few weeks - the scene between her and Leanne last night in the Bistro with that slap was so powerful.

The drama was very good, but could have done without the punch. Too much violence! Report it to the police, that would make people think again.

Sorry for going off topic - one character I'm loving at the moment is Jenny Bradley. I love her in amongst the factory, causing mischief!

I really didn't expect Steve to be the one to reveal that he is the father in the Bistro, good that it wasn't spoiler released to any media so a shock
David was insensitive asking Steve to take the picture with the phone but he probably forgot about him losing Ruairi
I must be confused as i thought Nick had told David he was not his kid way before it was born. Maybe it was in my imagination and never happened

I usually agree with much of what you say, ff, but I'm afraid I really thought tonight's Corrie was naff for the most part. I thought the scenes between Sally and Rawsie were very touching but apart from that...I thought the "lock in" was just over the top and too unbelievable.

Why did Michelle bring her lawyer, Johnny and Kate to the pub to discuss her divorce demands? Normally you meet a lawyer in his/her office and discuss things there about what you are entitled to and what maybe not ... stupid scenario :thumbsdow
Michelle's going to turn nasty and bitter now - we can see it already, especially when they were all talking to the solicitor. And yes, they should have met him in his office! I couldn't believe it when she started throwing things and breaking the window. She has every right to be angry but you can't just keep people locked up in a pub, even if they're enjoying it...

It was Johnny's lawyer, Michelle must not know any herself
Such a silly episode last night.
Michelle locking up Steve outside and none inside to open the door?? Stupid people. Even Eva, who I usually like-instead of starting to argue with that most annoying woman(Michelle), why not to just open the door or nip out of the backdoor and let everyone in. Plus Steve could have just broke the window instead of wasting the time of police! Steve and Michelle really were made for each other as neither of them could get anyone better, truly deserved each other. I still like Steve more than Michelle.Hopefully she would just leave. I'm tired of looking at her.
'Rosie' is such a poor actress, plus that I just end up staring at her face every time and what she's done to herself. She looks ugly these days. Far too much make up and face too skinny with those duck lips. She just can't act, totally frustrating to watch! Back to London please. Or just make her disappear.
Daniel and Sinead must be the most boring couple ever on the street.

Steve reminds me of 'Our Walter' (has he been) with his mouth going like a goldfish.
There are a lot of Rosie's out there now. It is all about how you look and what you wear. It also does not matter if you have any brain cells. I cannot stand Sinaed. Also Chesney needs to stop acting so desperate. It is obvious Daniel is not going to Oxford as that means he will no longer be in Corrie and that is not going to happen. I like Michelle a t the moment as she has shown some really good acting which i thought was not possible. The whole locking them out saga was stupid. I would not have tried to break windows or doors as it would cost to repair.
And so- Michelle ended up breaking 1-2 windows anyway, so what's the difference?
Maybe that breaking one small window of the door straight away, they could have avoided more damage.
Replacing one small window doesn't cost that much.
What was more stupid in that whole lock up-episode was the fact, that no one inside opened the door. Michelle could have at least thrown all the people out and destroy the pub, would have been more believable.
tracy ok that steve has another child a son i expected fireworks
I felt like everything was a bit rushed so that it would fit in one episode. There was too much of Sinéad and Daniel(zzzzzzz....). I would have much rather watched Tracy's reaction to the news! Please don't tell me they are getting back together with Steve! What's stopping them now?? We need Jim McDonald back.. And soon. Everything in that pub is too boring.

I am glad that Adam left the cash register draw open as I wouldn't have guessed what he was up to in the shop.
Corrie missed a trick there.... if he had shut the till Mary may not have known and Tracy would have found the money gone and blamed her and it could have dragged out for ages, which is the usual storyline.
