Wow, we got through the last thread pretty quickly! (Again!)

So Betsy is still recovering from her stroke, Debbie's condition (dementia) is getting worse.

Tim and Sally still have Tim's cousin Ross's daughter Lucy in their care as Ross killed his wife - Lucy's mother, and is in prison... Or so we have been lead to believe. There's a question mark over whether Ross did kill Lucy's mum at the moment, (or if it was Lucy!) after Lucy spoke to her dad the other night and said 'what if they found out what I did!' Sally is struggling with Lucy, especially after she threw her phone at Sally and hit her in the face.

Sarah is still in prison, (for killing Theo,) and hasn't had her trial yet. She has finished with Kit, who went on to sleep with her daughter Bethany!

Bernie's aunt (Celeste) who was trying to get Todd to do a funeral for her, died a few weeks ago, but not before dropping the bombshell that she has breast cancer, and Bernie may have the gene. So may Gemma and the quads, and Kit, and Brody...

Kit was tested. He has breast cancer. He is devastated - (naturally.)

Carl has just got a job in the cab office.

Probably missed some stuff!

I mentioned this in the last thread, but I can't remember if Todd did ever do Celeste's funeral by the way... She's been dead nearly 4 weeks now. I don't think they've mentioned her funeral for about 3 weeks. And I definitely don't remember them doing it.......

Today , the one questioning Todd seemed to imply that he is only saying things about Theo because of his previous relationship with Sarah.
They would need evidence of DV too surely?

the80sweregreat · 15/10/2026 22:07

Wouidnt the defence have evidence of Theo’s attacks on Todd? Photos or something like that ?

The prosecution are not denying that part, they are just saying that the attack was revenge rather than self defence

Isn't Max in prison for murdering that fella who was going out with DeeDee and abused Lauren? Can't remember his name. I think Max took the blame to save Lauren, who actually did it (I think)

No

Lauren killed him and walked free as it was in self defence

Sarah's trial is basically a re-run of Lauren's

Max is in for arson

eggandonion · 15/10/2026 21:01

Joel....I can't remember who actually killed him. Or why the Platts house was burned. Although it does dissociate the house from Gail.

@eggandonion · Today 20:26

Max is one of the many actors who go off to explore new opportunities and we don't see again.

Maybe Lauren could go and join Max when he is released.

I wonder if Max will come back in a few years with a new head?

I think Clayton is a bit older than my DD, which would make him in his mid twenties.
It feels as if Max has been inside for longer than many a soap murderer to me. Was it for setting fire to the Platt house? Teeny bit of arson should make him eligible for early release, no?

Ooooh, I'd forgotten Max existed! I wonder if he will be back?

Is Shonas other son...the one who murdered Kylie...dead? Max is far away so Lauren can't visit him.
They look like a nice family...own businesses and work in management and investigative journalism.

Is it me or have David and Shona done nothing but palm baby Harper on anyone who will have her since they brought her home? We see someone pushing a pram and they are looking after Harper for David and Shona 🙄

And how come no-one in Corrie comes home from work and gets straight into their PJ's 😂They stand cooking tea in their clothes from the day with shoes on and everything. Not a PJ or slipper in sight 😝

Never mind baby Arpur gormless Shona seems to have forgotten she also has a troubled teen in prison!

As if Gail would miss her daughters trial. They could at least pretend to have her on FaceTime or something.

Or the obligatory bit where they say something like Audrey has fallen over and she's looking after her

I'd totally forgotten about Theo killing Billy.

Imoldenoughtorememberbagpuss · 15/10/2026 17:26

The first day of her last period would have been around 24th August so she would be around 8 weeks now if dtd on 7th September.
That would make her due at the end of May.

MrsPapillon · 15/10/2026 16:35

I was wondering this myself. When Carl overheard Theo confessing to dead Billy, I thought that would go somewhere but it never did. Maybe he’ll pull it out of the bag, Sarah will get off and he’ll become a hero. In true Corrie style we’ll forget he was ever a baddie (just like Brody/Jacob/Mason etc).

And not forgetting murderer Tracyluv! Remember Free the Weatherfield One Deirdre Rashid 🤣was huge at the time

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 15/10/2026 14:30

Can’t believe Bethany is pregnant. So BORING.

Re the trial, would it make any difference to Sarah’s case if they knew Theo killed Billy? Just thinking they had Theo’s wife in saying he wasn’t violent - would contradict that? I think Carl knows doesn’t he?

So she’s 8 weeks? Was it that long ago she slept with Kit? Thought it was fairly recent? Maybe there’s someone else that we don’t know about? After all she is a well respected journalist lol

Yeah, that's confused me too! As has been said, it was 7th Sept when it was revealed that Bethany and Kit had 'done the deed!' (And they'd done it the night before....) That was 5 weeks and 3 or 4 days ago, not 8 weeks. Unless Bethany is lying, so she can pretend it's not Kit's.... IDK.

Agree with The Platt family acting like it was a day out - (going to court!) Batshit. Half the bloody street were there. Reminds of me when Blanche was in Corrie, and she used to go to court whenever anyone from the street was there, and she used to take a packed lunch and a flask! 😆

eggandonion · 15/10/2026 15:10

Did something happen on Canal St. A mystery man who knew Theo? Did his kids hate him...will they appear in court ?
Did anyone ever see the video of Theo battering Todd apart from Billy ? Maybe Billy can help from beyond the grave.
As long as Beffany doesn't call the baby Billy we should be ok. Until Jodie steals the baby.

Good thinking. I also think Theo was violent to his wife bit she isn't admitting it. And soooo boring Bethany is pregnant, Weatherfield is a very fertile place, it's not long since Sarah was pregnant with Damien's baby. I wanted Ryan and Bethany to live happily ever after.

No, the prosecution have already pointed out that Sarah was angry at Theo for the way he treated Todd but that is no defence. Her only defence is that she acted in self-defence.

They also asked Swain if it would be considered "unusual" behaviour for someone who acted in self-defence to take a long time to confess to her actions.

Swain said 'no' but she has obviously forgotten about Lauren, her daughter's best friend, who took ages to confess but still got off by pleading self defence.
