Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Dazzle]

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

I agree, though she did say it would take her a while to be able to replace the record.

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.

Andrea fancying Steve was the only sensible storyline she's had!

I think we have to assume she still has her job since we weren't told otherwise.

Have we had confirmation that she's managed to sell/rent the house she lived in with her husband? He went to prison/sectioned didn't he?

Neil works on an oil rig, which is why he was away for so long when Andrea first met Steve and she told him she was single. She mentioned the other day she hadn't been able to get hold of him on the oil rig to talk about their daughter's predicament.

I thought it was stupid writing that Lloyd just happened to mention his record was worth a thousand pounds on the day Andrea needed a thousand pounds. Couldn't they have made the amounts slightly different to make it more realistic? Andrea could have needed more than a thousand say, but was able to cover the rest herself.


Regarding the little dog going back to Steve, cats are notorious for choosing new families for themselves and moving in with them, so the dog returning to Steve doesn't surprised me (I realise cats are very different to dogs, but I think forming a stronger attachment to a person other than their original owner is possible for any domesticated animal). Her previous owner had been gone for months and, as Swmc66 says, Steve spoilt her rotten. It's no wonder she missed him...
