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.

Mary is starting to be bit too scary again. Over powering and far too obsessed with those kids. They are not her kids and Def should put his foot down. And Julie is far too nice-she should say 'it's either me or Mary!' He should chuck Mary out, not funny at all anymore.

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

Ken in Tracy's shop was funny. 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 .

Mary likes Dev, probably would love to swap places with Julie and she clearly adores the twins as they do her. Mary's feelings were hurt when Julie suddenly appeared in Dev's life, staying the night and having her own key ... I think Dev should have talked to her about his relationship with Julie once they decided to get together rather than Mary being confronted with sudden changes as they happen.

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.

Carla has always been quite independent-which is why I've always liked her

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!
