Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

It won't be long when the arrangement will not be required. Julie will probably have a long term relationship with Dev and move in. She works in a factory and Dev a corner shop so could be beneficial to save money. Makes sense to not have a child minder if things progress. I can't wait for Mary to have a partner she deserves better.

This Yasmine is doing my head in-never liked her.

Ken in Tracy's shop was funny. :D What happened then after with Tony and his friend-wasn't. why can't they just let Tracy to be strong independent woman for once??! And actually get that business booming without any criminal contacts.

I think with Mary -shes not had the number
or length of relationships that a woman her
age would probably have had(.if any )
So when things arent going her way can't
disguise her feelings and behaves in an OTT
immature way.

It would be nice to have an indepedent
woman character in a soap but won't
hold my breath.
They either get their money/businesses
from who they marry OR became a total
Doormat .

Why?? Mary is not Dev's wife or anything else-only nanny. And why is she needed anyway? Those kids must be at school until 3 anyway, and Dev has help in the shop-he could organize his hours to suit. If he needed some help-he could ask Sophie or Maddie to look after the kids. Mary is just too much for me anyway, would get rid of her fast-she has no right to rule Dev's personal life..or those kids. Mary has a past too with Norris..with that sort of criminal history I wouldn't let her near my kids anyway! hopefully she'll get a love of her own sooner rather than later.

Mary doesn't have a right to rule Dev and his family's life, but they care about her which is why they want to keep her happy. As for the Norris "Misery" storyline, I doubt Dev knows about it (were the police ever involved?) and anyway it was a bit of comic relief and not to be taken too seriously. Mary's proved herself a decent person in the years since that happened.

Carla is a perfect example of the kind of women Maidmarian was talking about - she inherited the business from her dead husband - and she can't seem to go long without a man on her arm either!
