Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

has anyone else found this Ashley-Clare storyline a bit random? they've not been in it for months and then its suddenly gone from rowing --> clare at death's door --> clare trying to kill herself --> back home --> comedy vasectomy moment in the space of about 4 episodes!

Yes, I agree. And even for a private clinic that was going it a bit. Ashley decides late on Thursday to have a vasectomy and he's already to have the operation on Friday!

the cocoa conversation between Roy and Graham last night was hilarious!

Yes, an absolute classic. They should get Roy and Graham together more often!

Agreed. It reeks of "Oh, Claire and Ashley haven't been in it for a while, lets quickly think something up for them"

*think up a random storyline*

"yeah that'll do for now"

I think the pair of them have had their day to be honest, easily two of the weakest characters on the show. The producers don't know what to do with them.

[Hannelene]

Now that Ashley hasn't gone through with the snip doesn't this mean that their could be tragedy or tears if Claire does get pregnant again sometime soon?

[Perdita]

Claire is not going to be happy and eventually Ash will have to go through with it

[Hannelene]

I wonder if Claire was to fall pregnant again because of Ashley not going through with the operation would Claire have an abortion behind Ashley's back?

[Perdita]

I hope he has the op pretty soon, I can understand Claire being worried about becoming ill again like she did after she had Freddie but I don't think she would ever have an abortion.

[Hannelene]

I just wonder where their strotyline is going as it is heading for disaster isn't it?

I'm really struggling to make sense of this storyline with Joe. Why doesn't he just go to the doctor and get some painkillers?

He did go to the doctors and she thought he had been on pain medication for too long and decided to not prescribe anymore for him
