How long until Amy argues that Simon shouldn't get any of the money because he isn't a biological grandchild?
Leanne is the main reason for simon's bad behaviour. She's on his back constantly.. I know how it is -I have 2 kids around that age myself.. You just need to give them bit of space and never lose your sense of humour.. Not always easy, but Simon isn't that bad leanne is.
how did deirdre have that much savings, tracy will get her hands some way on amys
It's not savings as such, it's a life insurance policy.Quote:

Im hoping Tracy not sole trustee and not given
any disccretionary powers.!!Or we know who will
help themselves.
Deidre might not have appointed Ken -as he is
a lot older than herself!!
So there it is, lunch time in a busy bistro and the chef decides to go off for a break. Right......
Given that Deirdre didn't come home because she was ashamed of Tracy, I can't imagine she would name her a trustee at all, let alone a joint trustee.Quote:

Yes, that's true enough.

I actually felt quite sorry for Leanne last night. She handled the situation very badly but it's not easy to be a perfect parent when you're in the midst of a very stressful situation. She's already at the end of her tether with the violence. I've been highly critical of her at times, but there's no doubt she loves Simon and puts him first. She's positively a saint compared to the martyr Anna Windass for example!Quote:

Tracy would just waste it. I am sure she will find a way to access it for her benefit

But Leanne is nagging constantly and shouting. Simon has been ignored for a very long time too-he's had loads of dramatic events in his young life and no one(not even Ken) has suggested to get him help earlier-I've mentioned this before. Also-Leanne is not a lone parent, Peter is his dad and wherever he's gone, she should contact him and explain him whats going on. It's not realistic that child's father wouldn't be told anything-especially when Leanne(as good mother as she's been to Simon for years)isn't his biological parent. This storyline should have been done closer to Peter's return.Quote:

You're right-Anna Windass is such an awful mother!
Just give that dog back to Steve! Enough about it already. That woman was just horrible..
Leanne-Simon storyline got more interesting..I just wish someone would suggest some counselling for Simon or for them together??
Maria is just so boring..Steph well ott with her protective(?) behavior..Quite bad acting actually..
And Tracy falling in love again..yawn.
Amy was the best.
But all in all, Corrie far better this week than Emmerdale. Enjoyed most of it.

I read your post before I watched Friday's episodes so I was expecting a complete harridan! :D She seemed OK to me and didn't have a go at Steve. She might get nasty if the gorgeous Cookie (I can't help but think of her by her real name) keeps returning to Steve. I really hope she gets to stay with him in the end.Quote:

I've got a feeling Zeedan will play a big part in the resolution of this storyline as Simon looks up to him. (I think Zeedan's become a much more likeable character recently.)
Tracy constantly all over Robert makes me feel a bit queasy... :sick:
I agree with you Mariba that Amy's been really entertaining recently. :D
I found Anna worse than the dog's owner to be honest, even though Boo Boo is an awful name. It was nice of her to think about popping by in the future so that Steve would still get to see the dog.
The owner was fine. Amy was brilliant as usual.
What a pathetic storyline for Andrea and Lloyd. Andrea sells Lloyd´s record for a 1000 quid to help her daughter out ... she then scours the country for a replacement record ... surely if a dealer paid her 1000 quid she would need to pay around that much or even more to replace it .. where is she going to get the money from???? Because if she had that much spare, she would not have to steal from Lloyd to pay her daughter :wall:
Exactly. They have given Andrea a lot of daft storylines if you ask me. First her secret marriage, her fancying Steve, the broken Chair at the office, her trying to get Lloyd to be best man. Now this stupid storyline and she still wants to stay in Corrie! She just lies constantly. What happened to her job? Does she have one...she used to.
Well if my dog returned back to the person who found it and only had it for a short while, I would have some serious doubts about my skills as an owner! �� Plus that woman was loopy!! Scary...Quote:

I assumed she still had her job as she seemed to be off screen for quite some time. Have we had confirmation that she's managed to sell/rent the house she lived in with her husband? He went to prison/sectioned didn't he? So if the house hasn't gone yet she'll be getting stung for the council tax, water rates (assuming they're not metered it would be more) and also any utility standing charges/packages where they weren't out of contract (I presume they kept Lloyd's Sky package or whatever.) Was there not something where she was asking when she needed it for? So perhaps she might have been able to afford it without stealing from Lloyd if she waited until payday and then didn't fritter money for the rest of the month.
I'm not quite sure why I just tried to justify this storyline when it would presumably cost Andrea more than £1000 to replace like with like (she sold to a dealer who will be wanting to make a profit on it.....)
Stuart Blackburn is overstaying his welcome. This is yet more "filler" and "plot device" without a need for it. I don't know why but producers seem to give up on characters when they know they're leaving (and you get poor material/writing for their infrequent appearances) until they're suddenly appearing more in the run up to their departure (presumably to meet the minimum number of episodes specified in their contract.) Why just not give them normal treatment? Every character will have their fans and this is an insult to viewers and the actors involved.
I agree, though she did say it would take her a while to be able to replace the record.Quote:

Neil works on an oil rig, which is why he was away for so long when Andrea first met Steve and she told him she was single. She mentioned the other day she hadn't been able to get hold of him on the oil rig to talk about their daughter's predicament.Quote:

Regarding the little dog going back to Steve, cats are notorious for choosing new families for themselves and moving in with them, so the dog returning to Steve doesn't surprised me (I realise cats are very different to dogs, but I think forming a stronger attachment to a person other than their original owner is possible for any domesticated animal). Her previous owner had been gone for months and, as Swmc66 says, Steve spoilt her rotten. It's no wonder she missed him... :(
If she was to find a seller, they would not want to wait for her to get the funds together, surely and I know they said that her ex husband was difficult to get hold of on the rig he is working on, but surely these days messages can be passed on even there, maybe not immediately but within a couple of days. Why did Jess wait until the last moment to ask for help??Quote:

Kylie knew exactly the world Callum lived in but instead of getting out of it she had a baby with him. David and Max are the victims here. Max didn't ask to be born and David has brought Max up as his own only to have it thrown back in his face.
I think Kylie very much blames herself, but she was understandably angry that Sarah hadn't reported the gun and had let Max spend time at Callum's knowing his true character. That was incredibly negligent of Sarah. Also, it gave Callum plenty of time to get his story straight.
I'm glad they're writing Callum as properly evil now because he was a bit of a comedy villain to start with.
I enjoyed Paddy McGuinness in his role, but then I used to really like him in Phoenix Nights (anyone remember him in that?). I'm finding the camping storyline entertaining so far and it's nice to see Craig get some decent screen time.
David had a very deep tan after spending a couple of weeks in Liverpool... :p
Enjoying Corrie camping scenes so far! :)
