corries frank, whats he upto, do you think hes going to try and rape carla or maria

[carriedababi]

with maria i mean try again

i can;t figure out what hes upto

jennymac: Maria has just picked up the phone to make a police report about Frank.

John hasn't lost his memory - he has a mental illness, and has just come home from hospital (he was sectioned, and an inpatient for a couple of months); he now appears to under GP care, and is abandoning his medication. The reason he doesn't know about some recent events (eg spending in the CC statement) isn't memory, it's actual absence. But of course, there are unpleasant things in his memory and the spoilers suggest this is all about to go horribly wrong.

BTW: does Roy's mother know Hayley used to be Horace?

I didnt realize she knew.

I really can't work Maria out and I've stopped caring about that rape storylines.

Why won't Sallie take Kevin back?

Kittya
"my husband cheated on me with his best friends wife, impregnated her and let the affair carry on for over a year (iirc), AIBU not to take him back?"

"YABU, can't you see that he's recently won a lot of money, where has your gold digging nature gone? Get in there love!"

But he's just tried to hand her a cheque for the full amount of the win. She refused to take it.

And she's no stranger to affairs either.

The problem with Corrie is that it is on too frequently so has too much air time to fill hence the ridiculous storylines and and bizarre behaviour of the characters.

Will occasionally watch corrie, if in and nothing else on. However I am switching it on and then having to change channel, as I cannot bare Tracy and all the other stupidly unbelievable storylines, such as John and Fizz.

The storylines are too pot, which is a pity, as I used to quite enjoy corrie.

I dont think its on too often infact, its not on often enough!! whats with the big gap midweek?

I still miss it on Wednesdays (that, alongside Mondays, is where it belongs).

The trouble is that they no longer seem to do the little side-line stories that round out the programme, but don't need to go anywhere. Norris and Mary could just do their competitions and gossip. There could just be banter at the bar. Roy could get estimates for redecorating the cafe. Sophie could have an interesting college project (what is she studying anyhow?). Rosie could have a bad spray tan. There could be more chitchat and little triumphs and disappointments.

Instead characters only seem to appear to drive on the big story lines and then vanish completely between times. Too disjointed and it makes the big plot lines too sudden, and loses the sense of watching a little community.

It's a shame.

Thats so true.

I notice that Rosie is having a six month sabbatical, I wonder how they will write her out?

Im so disappointed for Chesney, I had high hopes for him.

totally agree. bit of a cop out storyline for ches, young lad - what can we do with him, err, i know, he can get his girlfriend pregnant. oh how original.

John breaks down completely, Fiz is imprisoned for fraud. Chesney is left holding 2 babies?

Why don't any of these kids go to bloody further education? It really annoys me.

You've got me trying to remember now who did - it's not many.

Ken of course was the early intellectual because he went to university.

Sophie is doing something at Collge, as is Sian. Toyah did. Andy MacDonald did.

Did Sarah Platt? Or Todd?

Toyah went on to further education and now she's a doctor on Holby.

Totally agree with Meditrina about the storylines. Leave the sensationalist rubbish to EE.

But no one goes away to University in Corrie. Or even works anywhere more than about a minute away. At least they all have washing machines which is not the case in EE.

Aren't they lucky to all beable to walk to work?

The storylines have gone a bit nuts, that bank job the other week was deplorable.

I'm wondering what's going to happen with Frank. I quite like the fact that they've shown that women quite often don't report incidents like this. Similar to the recent Hollyoaks storyline. (Showing my top tv viewing credentials here, aren't I?!)

Michelle's son is supposed to have gone to uni in Scotland, iirc.

I don't know why Maria was surprised

He didn't try to rape her - he tried it on!

Maria is a silly moo of a character. She gets so wound up about Frank's behaviour but is understanding about her new boyfriend being a wife beater

I really don't lke her out of everyone
