What a stroke of luck that Sally just happened to be in Roy's Rolls when Kevin came in to see Abi and Carl about Alfie. Especially as we all know Corrie doesn't do coincidences.
Pretty sure that was telepathy.Quote:

I am puzzled too...Quote:

I can understand Sally feeling jealous and insecure, but I do not understand why she wants to convince Tim that he was abused. How will that benefit Tim, will he then need therapy?Quote:

Maybe that is yet to come. Also, abuse victims are not always aware that they were abused. Maybe they are trying to show that abusers can face charges much later in life to encourage victims that do suffer from mental health issues from abuse that happened many years ago..Quote:

I do not know the details of what happened, I only know of this because I was with him when he was discussing it with another lad who was also was also having sex with her. As far as I know he never felt abused, and like Tim was proud of it. In the time I knew him I never saw any evidence that he suffered ill effects in later life. If the truth be known, I think this type of situation was more common than one would think.
I agree, it would have happened in the early to mid 80s- but we are just at the start of a storyline so all kind of things will happen that will make it clearer to us :)Quote:

Just when I thought Todd had seen sense....... Hope he will be having the safe sex conversation now.
Not being a user of social media I do not understand if Betsy says only her friends can see her posts, how could the bad people or Costello see them?
[QUOTE=Son of Cain;1042394]Not being a user of social media I do not understand if Betsy says only her friends can see her posts, how could the bad people or Costello see them?[/QUOT
The other friends of Betsy's friends can see the post
[QUOTE=Perdita;1042399]You mean Betsy"s friends can repost it to their friends, then what is the point of Betsy restricting it to her friends, if they can post it on. I doubt any of them would send it to Costello or the bad people. Incidentally I did not think much of Betsy's designs.Quote:

now carl and tracy telling abi divorce Kevin, take half of everything, and she is listening to them
Well, Kevin has no right to chuck her out. It is their house.Quote:

He would be stupid if he did .. give her some to make sure Alfie is taken care of but not half of house and business...Quote:

No-one in Corrie needs a car for commuting, that's for sure!Quote:

I don't think he works at all. I think he just pretends to work as a scaffolder so he can walk about in a vest. We rarely see him do any work. He does not seem to have a yard to store his scaffold tubes and boards. I do not understand his partnership with Gary, surely Gary does not need a scaffold for every job. I think truth be known he is a secret millionaire who is slumming it.Quote:
