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.......

@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?

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)

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.

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

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

the80sweregreat · 15/10/2026 22:14

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?

Mollypolly2610 · 15/10/2026 22:21

There was another guy who tried to warn Todd off but I don't think Todd knew who he was. Maybe he only hit men.

I’m sure Theo threatened to kill Summer once in Dev’s shop. Surely they could get her up to testify.

She may be happy for Sarah to rot in jail

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?

He has history though I think? He was in the STC, came out, then a while later got done for the arson?

Why do you think Summer would be OK for Sarah to rot in jail? Has she had some kind of falling out with Sarah?

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 16/10/2026 07:40

Summer was arrested for Theo’s murder ( can’t remember why or what evidence they had ) so she may well have a grudge against Sarah.

Oh yes of COURSE. How did I forget that?! 😫

Sarah let Summer be arrested and kelt in jail, although I think she did the right thing in the end by confessing IIRC.

She still put Summer through shit she didn't need to go through though!

Summer has her own jailbird to worry about - that bloke she went on one date with

zanahoria · 16/10/2026 08:29

The Platts are treating everyone else really badly, not just Summer but Gary too, but so indignant with their view that nobody wants to save Sarah. Although not sure why anyone would help Sarah after what she did to poor Summer but Todd has but gets little thanks just snarky comments from David.

I seem to remember Gary being pretty decent with Bethany. She tried it on with him when she was a teenager but he spurned her and helped out when she was involved with the grooming gang. Now she just wants to blame him when all did was take an unwanted call to help a friend out and got dragged into Sarah's mess.

RosaNovella · 16/10/2026 08:52

Hmmm no sympathy for Gary
He was so caught up in being Mr White Knight and was vile to Maria
He will get whats been due to him imho

zanahoria · 16/10/2026 09:19

Sarah's defence would be better off focusing on what actually happened.

It was a fluke she even had the chance to kill him. He was a big bloke who kept fit and she is tiny. It was just by chance that he was standing close enough to the edge to topple over when she whacked him with the pole. She could have only done it on the spur of the moment and in those circumstances self defence is the most likely explanation

Yep. Nothing worse than being with a man who is a white knight! And they never do their white knight shit for men. 🙄

In Classic Corrie, Blanche, Norris & others would be in the court gallery with their flasks and sandwiches commenting on the case.

Although Sarah seems to like them, she has got three of her exes involved, I keep expecting her to ring her up Damon

Oh yes, Sarah does love a white knight! 🙄

There are women like her unfortunately. Love simpering and whining softly around men, in the hope they'll stick their neck out for them, and be a big brave white knight for them!

How does Sarah know the verdict will be in tomorrow?
