Why is Tina talking like Gary and Izzy can't bring the baby up together? Looking for rubbish excuses, just ham Jake over!

DesperateHousewife21 · 12/06/2013 19:42

Hand*!

DTisMYdoctor · 12/06/2013 22:02

How could Tommy and Tina not seen the eviction coming?!? And assuming Gary really is the dad why aren't be talking about going for custody, 50/50 residency (note, I have no idea about how custody/residency works, but I don't get the impression the corrie scriptwriters do either)

alemci · 12/06/2013 22:17

Dev is still wearing that Mac. Thought Anna was really horrible tonight.

Sleepyfergus · 13/06/2013 06:13

Yes, why were Tina and Tommy so surprised that they were being evicted??! I mean, honestly, that's just daft! And they're off to stay with 'Granny Rita' in her ever expanding flat above t'shop.

I'm still transfixed by Izzy's botox forehead!

Wish Dev would stop the mac, he's starting to look like a dodgy flasher as opposed to the super sleuth look the writers are trying to aim for.

Reckon it's going to kick off with Kylie/David/Nick soon. All this devotion from David is just teeing up a 'complete and utter betrayal' scene when he finds out t'baby might not be his. Cue lots of over-reaction and then his beady, narrowing evil eyes as he hatches a plan to get even....be here before

And Rob 'n' Tracy.....yawn! What do you bet he's going to become Manchesters 'master repossessioner' within moments of getting the job? There will be grand gestures like buying cars, buying Tracy Luv jewellery, flashing the cash etc.

Where is Tommy living anyway? Can't they move into his?
When Karl was holding the inventory list was the first moment in ages that I felt a flicker of interest in that storyline.
And I thought Anna's outburst odd considering her usual demeanour.
Where is Faye?

Wishfulmakeupping · 13/06/2013 09:03

Tommy still at Rita's I think so guess they'll all end up in another tardis of a flat like Maria's?!

whatkungfuthat · 13/06/2013 09:10

Didn't Tina say that she had a rental agreement though? So they would be on dodgy ground kicking her out if it weren't Corrie, where the normal rules don't apply.

Suneeta's keys could have been her own door keys surely?

Ellenora5 · 13/06/2013 10:33

It's really woeful at the moment, why is Rita taking them in when she is so against what Tina is doing. Flashback to Anna when she first joined Corrie, she was awful in the beginning. Dev is seriously losing the plot, shouting at poor Mary like that when she has literally been running his life since Sunita died. When will it all end, it's getting on my nerves. As for David and Kylie, the proverbial will hit the fan soon enough and then we will have to put with Leanne and her wailing and po faced expressions and running right back to Peter.

Wishfulmakeupping · 13/06/2013 11:32

Oh god if the Leanne/Peter/Carla/nick situation starts up again I'll be giving Emmerdale a go- thats had enough mileage now surely

Sallystyle · 13/06/2013 11:40

I am pretty sure that Jake/Jo is handed back to Izzy going by a tweet that said Izzy was filming scenes with baby Jake\Jo.

Sallystyle · 13/06/2013 11:40

DTisMYdoctor · 13/06/2013 12:39

Sunita did have her house keys when she went into hospital - Karl used them to sneak into her house and he left them there.

No more Peter/Leanne please! Leanne is another one that could easily go - she's a real PITA these days. I wonder if she's going to have a part to play in catching Karl out, what with her really taking against him of late.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 13/06/2013 12:41

Yes, Karl stole the keys from Sunita's hospital room and planted them back in the house.

whatkungfuthat · 13/06/2013 13:03

Bugger, I missed that about the keys before then. I originally thought that Karl was going to get caught attacking Leanne after she refused to give St Ella the money for the pub because of him. I wonder if the hospital CCTV will play a part?

ajandjjmum · 13/06/2013 15:11

I thought Karl planted the keys to the pub in her hospital drawer, so it seemed like they were found on her.

Surely (please God) the hospital keep a copy of the Inventory they give to the patients, so even if Karl nicks Dev's copy, they will be able to double check.

I was squealing at Dev to take the Inventory off Karl last night, but we weren't shown what happened to it.

whatkungfuthat · 13/06/2013 15:36

I'm confused

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 13/06/2013 15:41

Maybe I've remembered wrong, just remember Karl sneaking around with keys in Sunita's room.

ChocsAwayInMyGob · 13/06/2013 15:54

I definitely remember Karl planting the Rovers keys in Sunita's hospital table when she was in Intensive Care. It was a key plot point that made the detectives call off the search.

I reckon the CCTV is the ticket to all this.

carabos · 13/06/2013 16:46

So, if it turns out that David and Kylie's baby isn't David's, could Kylie give it to Izzy and Gary to make up for Tina keeping Jake? Just a thought... Not that it will matter anyway as all babies disappear from Corrie not to be seen again until needed as a plot device decades years later.

FannyMcNally · 13/06/2013 17:17

If CCTV is going to play a massive part in clearing Sunita's name then they'd better get on with the storyline. Isn't there a limit to how much footage could still realistically be stored somewhere?

Loved Karl's face at the discovery of the inventory but, as already said, why is he always there?!! Surely Dev must be suspicious that every time he has a Eureka moment there's Karl ready to counter and dismiss his findings.

Tina, don't let those Windasses get the better of you! Hate them! How could they just throw her stuff out and then expect her to ever be reasonable? But if Izzy and Gary get back together again I wonder if Tina will change her mind?

MissMarplesBloomers · 13/06/2013 17:52

Yes Carl def did the key swap. He nicked her house keys from her hospital cabinet ( the ones that are on the inventory dammit) which had a pub key on it , nobbled the spare Rovers keys & planted them in her hospital drawer.

Dev is doing a good impersonation of a man losing it.

Tina is supposed to be leaving isn't she? SO maybe she flees broken hearted after giving Jake/Joe back?

I too wish they'd hurry up & get Carl denounced so it can move on.

CatherineofMumbles · 13/06/2013 17:56

Yes!
