If he is here all year I accept it will not be mentioned again. Neither will Teddy and Leo

Not sure anyone on Coronation Street that has a car also has a roof box, certainly do not remember ever seeing one, however, lets not get little details get into the way of a pathetic story. I know they are planning on keeping this farce going until the end of the year and they will have been filming late spring/early summer episodes now but if enough viewers complain to ITV, would they maybe bring the end of this forward? :hmm: Guess I should not be holding my breath though :wall:

I am hoping that someone will go fishing in the canal, perhaps David Platt, hook the box, reel it in and find the body. That seems perfectly feasible to me.

They should get the idea if they read Facebook and Twitter!

As I said before .. why let reality get in the way of a storyline, even if viewers are appalled by it and the main character's acting ability...

Yes, I can see Platt reeling it in and lifting it out of the water. Good choice.

I have noticed that in certain weather conditions one can see everything on the bottom of the canal.

Gary and Daryan struggling on the floor with the mad knifeman, and everyone else runs out and leaves them to it. Community spirit?

Fiz in a blonde wig, a blind person could have seen that coming. Oh! How I laughed.

Yes, the most telegraphed punchline in history. Imagine my surprise!

But Gary is a trained killer. It's natural they would leave him to it

Would the CCTV system not have a back-up? So Carla could have had a look at the copy? Silly me, then she would have seen what Stephen had been up to ..

A very SMALL trained killer who is unable to choke a guy out when he has got him on the ground with his arm round his neck. The Speed Daal Massacre was an example of why Corrie should not do action scenes. Maria standing there shouting at Gary to get the knife off him, instead of grabbing something heavy and hitting him with it. Surely if Blake was serious he would have taken a bigger knife, how did he expect to get away, even if he got out of the restaurant with all these witnesses he would have to flee the country. A very contrived am-dram performance.

Vanishing sewing machines

So Carla is the gaffer in the factory, but doesn't question sewing machines apparently not there any more.
Surely she has an idea if what stock she has🤣🤣🤣

As boss she should also have been aware of which machines are faulty and need repairing...

Does Carla know that was his story about what was in the roof box? He didn't tell her and I don't think anyone else has mentioned the supposed sewing machines to her.

Yes. It's all very daft.

Each episode of Corrie is highly enjoyable and entertaining to watch in a Crossroads sort of way.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the abbreviation referred to. Also, I wouldn't question your analysis, mainly because I haven't seen the episode yet (I watch on Hulu & there is a 12-day delay). And I have never thought the actress who plays Maria was a good actress.

Good to see that the hospital only sent Alya home after they were sure she was so obviously fit and healthy.......

I reckon they just needed the bed.

As for the ungrateful Max, he really really needs time in the Chokey but he will get off yet again.

Yes. It's either a very quick recovery or they die. They rarely seem to die in hospital though

So Stephen goes from consulting to packing to sewing? Is there no end to his talents?

Exactly!!! I have never heard of any person being arrested for Conspiracy to commit ATTEMPTED murder. It strikes me as being an impossible offence to commit.

You also never get a case of attempted manslaughter.

Alya is making a meal out of being stabbed in the lung, most Corrie residents who have suffered injuries in the past would have been out raving at Damon's DJ night after being out of hospital this long.

All true.

Shut up Platt. You need to accept that Max is a serial offender and needs to spend serious time in The Chokey.

Daisy. You need to know that you are just a scrounger.

'The Tink', as he is known down the station, is currently on the 'Woke Squad' investigating on line matters.

Definitely don't hold your breath. I really don't think they care how many viewers complain about the pathetic character and his pathetic storylines
