must be sick of mikey and off somewhere also why has nick has let robert take over his business

Because in a high class establishment like a Bistro the Chef determines what goes on

Robert seems to be running the show at the bistro already!



I actually felt quite sorry for Leanne last night. She handled the situation very badly but it's not easy to be a perfect parent when you're in the midst of a very stressful situation. She's already at the end of her tether with the violence. I've been highly critical of her at times, but there's no doubt she loves Simon and puts him first. She's positively a saint compared to the martyr Anna Windass for example!

What Leanne needs to do urgently is seek help for both herself and Simon.

Believe you me, I know what I'm talking about ;) None of us is a perfect parent, we all get stressed and raise our voices and occasionally feel like we could slap them! They drive us mad sometimes. But Leanne is nagging constantly and shouting. Simon has been ignored for a very long time too-he's had loads of dramatic events in his young life and no one(not even Ken) has suggested to get him help earlier-I've mentioned this before. Also-Leanne is not a lone parent, Peter is his dad and wherever he's gone, she should contact him and explain him whats going on. It's not realistic that child's father wouldn't be told anything-especially when Leanne(as good mother as she's been to Simon for years)isn't his biological parent. This storyline should have been done closer to Peter's return.
And I've always liked Leanne(most of the time).

You're right-Anna Windass is such an awful mother!

Just give that dog back to Steve! Enough about it already. That woman was just horrible..

Leanne-Simon storyline got more interesting..I just wish someone would suggest some counselling for Simon or for them together??

Maria is just so boring..Steph well ott with her protective(?) behavior..Quite bad acting actually..

And Tracy falling in love again..yawn.

Amy was the best.

But all in all, Corrie far better this week than Emmerdale. Enjoyed most of it.

I read your post before I watched Friday's episodes so I was expecting a complete harridan! She seemed OK to me and didn't have a go at Steve. She might get nasty if the gorgeous Cookie (I can't help but think of her by her real name) keeps returning to Steve. I really hope she gets to stay with him in the end.

The Leanne and Simon domestic abuse storyline is being very well done. I sympathise with both of them. Leanne desperately wants to tell Ken so she won't feel alone in this, but Simon's manipulating her to keep quiet at the moment. Hopefully that won't last for long. I've got a feeling Zeedan will play a big part in the resolution of this storyline as Simon looks up to him. (I think Zeedan's become a much more likeable character recently.)

Tracy constantly all over Robert makes me feel a bit queasy...

I agree with you Mariba that Amy's been really entertaining recently.

I found Anna worse than the dog's owner to be honest, even though Boo Boo is an awful name. It was nice of her to think about popping by in the future so that Steve would still get to see the dog.

The owner was fine. Amy was brilliant as usual.

[Perdita]

What a pathetic storyline for Andrea and Lloyd. Andrea sells Lloyd´s record for a 1000 quid to help her daughter out ... she then scours the country for a replacement record ... surely if a dealer paid her 1000 quid she would need to pay around that much or even more to replace it .. where is she going to get the money from???? Because if she had that much spare, she would not have to steal from Lloyd to pay her daughter

[swmc66]

Exactly. They have given Andrea a lot of daft storylines if you ask me. First her secret marriage, her fancying Steve, the broken Chair at the office, her trying to get Lloyd to be best man. Now this stupid storyline and she still wants to stay in Corrie! She just lies constantly. What happened to her job? Does she have one...she used to.

Well if my dog returned back to the person who found it and only had it for a short while, I would have some serious doubts about my skills as an owner! �� Plus that woman was loopy!! Scary...
