Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

Wondering why Jake took that photo of Lauren. When she stopped the van they must have been a considerable distance from the flower shop, so Jake must have already been there. If he was near where they stopped, he could not have been by the shop when they drove off. So could he have known that they had taken the van without permission? If he didn't know that, why would he bother to take a picture? Is this just a another little bit of drama for the sake of it, and to pile more misery on Lauren? Or is it a vehicle to lead to the next story when Bobby accuses her of stealing his money

[Son of Cain]

is lauren over the age to be fostered or is that frankie? will roy take her in and give her a job even after what she put him through

I think it was an arrangement for Frankie when he came out of hospital, altho' I am a bit confused as to whether he is still in hospital or not. I have assumed that she is going to use the money Bobby gave her to pay the blackmailer for a deposit on a flat, but I do not understand why they seem to be making her confused and guilty about doing so.

Yes, it's Frankie who is in foster care and Lauren is living there as well. He is still in hospital at the moment. Presumably she is feeling guilty because a) she thought it was Bobby who was blackmailing her and b) because he gave her the money to pay the blackmailer not to use it for a deposit on a flat.

The answer to that is that it was all complete nonsense that makes absolutely no sense at all.

But surely if she asked him to lend her the money for the flat he would give it to her. If he has already given her the money for the blackmailer he must be able to spare it. False drama, making a mountain out of a molehill.

I am enjoying Kit being in Corra, I do hope he's not a total bad un, we have just got rid of Joel and at least Kit is a canny actor.

Just a question…who was serving behind the bar while Glenda was discoing?

Bobby needs to know that I also thought it was him.

Bobby needs to know that I also thought it was him.

I don't know how he will manage without knowing that. Perhaps the trauma of not knowing could lead to his exit.

As for whe was serving in the pub,They probably helped themselves as Jenny doesn't give a flying fig now, Daisy has left, Sean was invisible, and newly promoted Craigy was not looking as he was drooling over Glenda, so maybe a free for all!!!!
