Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

Look, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I frankly admit that it was very poorly phrased. As I say I hadn't had the best sleep when I typed that. I've been suffering long term chronic depression with many periods of suicidal thoughts, poor sleep, fatigue, apathy and exhaustion as well as physical pain. I just find it frustrating that the writers continually have Geoff get away with everything. It doesn't help that soapland police seem to be continually incompetent.

Grow a spine was rather harsh and was too little sleep, but I just don't get why after all he has done she is still trying to appease him. He continually made it plain what his loathsome attitude towards her was. When she was talking to Alya for a little time she seemed to...what's the phrase, coming to terms with what had happened, but then she suddenly backslid with saying to apologise to Geoff.

I really don't get her assertion that he's 'complex', and can't even see any indication of that.

Maybe she's referring to his mood swings. When he is being nasty to her, and then later says how sorry he is and couldn't bear to lose her. He is really being manipulative though.

[Jadefalcon]

It is getting obviousbits not just Yasmeen he has a problem with, not that that excuses his behaviour towards her, but women in general. A week or two back there was his sneering at Carla's back about'how a smile would be appreciated', he's pretty dismissive of the female police, cutting off Yasmeen seeing Cathy, Alya or Eileen. Even his latest attitude with Tim about Sally, 'I thought this was YOUR house'. Very possessive in a personal and material sense.

I still think Alya could do something through the business. Geoff said that they, as in Geoff and Yasmeen owned one half and Alya the other. I imagine if Geoff is siphoning out major amounts of money from the business that could be checked out for fraud/theft.

A good solicitor would have arranged for Yasmeen to be seen by a mental health expert.

I'm not sure, but wouldn't that require her consent? The only way I can think that they could do it otherwise is if they got her sectioned and that's really not what is needed.

There should be more background checks by the solicitor on Geoff, anything to dig up any dirt on him.

did imran tell alya when yasmeen was first taken in by the police she was also seen by a doctor

i think yasmeen is ashamed of what everyone will hear at the trial about her marriage and relationship too so is doubting pleading not guilty for to have a trial and it looks like she still loves that vile pig geoff and blames herself, where is rita and audrey for all this, they'd love a chin wag on this, the gossip

[Jadefalcon]

That does seem part of it, she doesn't want to'air her dirty linen', so to speak. The unfortunate thing is that she can't seem to see it's not her fault but solely Geoff's. He's got her convinced everything is her fault.

Wanting to have nothing to do with Platt is not unkind. It's just common sense

I agree, but i was referring to her comments regarding Hayley, she is sort of acting like a Petulant child.

I don't think the issue was so much with what was said, it was how the scene was written. If she had said something similiar in a different tone, rather than laughing like a silly child it might not have come across as bad.
