Her purple coat was very loose fitting so I suppose she could be hiding a baby bump.

Begginyouformercy · 13/08/2013 14:24

That makes it even worse Sad Angry

ImNotBloody14 · 13/08/2013 14:35

poor rita and her baby- I hope they're both ok.

I missed tommeh's t-shirt- I suppose i'll have to wait til tomorrow to see it again?

Where is Tyrone these days?

squoosh · 13/08/2013 14:44

Hopefully a car has fallen on his head.

The scenes in the park with the teenagers were so unbelievable don't know if it was bad acting or just bad script writing .

I'm being to warm to Criag and Beth didn't really like them when they first joined.

squoosh · 13/08/2013 14:55

I wish the Craig thing would come to a head, I'm getting irritated now. I did love the chat he had with Kirk about inspirational gay role models though Grin

scarlet5tyger · 13/08/2013 15:52

Beth reminds me more and more of Our Denise from The Royle Family. Couldn't stand her at first but am slowly warming to her, and Craig.

RubberBullets · 13/08/2013 16:13

Beth reminds me of Cilla but nowhere near as nasty

DTisMYdoctor · 13/08/2013 18:03

Am confused about Rita/pregnancy chat - surely her years are a bit advanced for pregnancy?!?

hippychick66 · 13/08/2013 18:05

I did feel sorry for Tina - being left in charge of the pub whilst there is a party going on for the baby that she gave birth to, fell in love with and then had to give away!! I would also have liked to see her thump Our Tracy.

Agree that the teenagers who are jostling Rita are not very menacing at all - she's bigger than the three of them put together.

I was glad to see gail finally pointing out to Leanne that Nick is her son and so she might be a bit worried too. So far Leanne has been a bit like.... Oh he's my husband - I'm the most important person here!

As a writer I do see that sometimes you have to engineer situations so people can have a conversation in private but as someone else pointed out - David being overheard by Tina in Nick's room was a bit stupid. Tina must be very lightfooted because NO ONE ever hears her coming and shuts up - the other day rita and tommy were talking about her and she got right up behind them before they knew she was there.

I did also think it was very odd that annoying Faye didn't bother to tell anyone she was leaving the pub - a simple word to check with her mum would have been more believable.

Tim looked quite sexy compared to the boring insurance sales man.

The Rita/pregnancy thing is just a case of crossed posts leading to a little joke. even Corrie wouldn't do that storyline Grin

ah we were just having a wee joke about rita being pregnant. I asked if the Hayley actress was pregnant upthread, then a few other people posted other comments about rita and then someone replied "she's not pregnant" (or something like that) but didn't clarify that they were responding to me so it looked like they were referring to rita as she had just been mentioned. so someone else, said something about rita being pregnant and we went with it- it's possible you know- it being soapland and having no limits and all Grin

FannyMcNally · 13/08/2013 18:23

Just seen a trailer with Craig and Karl! I thought Craig had seen Karl start the fire, but this trailer seems to suggest the opposite!

SweetestThing · 13/08/2013 18:27

The actress who plays Rita seems to get very large around the middle and then goes off for a break, returning looking much slimmer. I wonder if she has some medical condition?
Sally's hair horrible last night for her date - she looked much nicer before she got dolled up.

EeTraceyluv · 13/08/2013 18:28

Lucy was her name. Peter met her in her florist shop when he was buying flowers for Shelley and got all carried away and ended up marrying them both with Tracey as bridesmaid at both weddings. The they all found out and it got all a bit lairy - then Lucy went off with baby Simon to Australia, and conveniently died. So Peter came back with Simon and couldn't cope for a bit but it's all ok now Grin

EeTraceyluv · 13/08/2013 18:29

sorry was a few pages back when I posted that! Grin

Mistyshore · 13/08/2013 19:16

Poor Rita couldn't have children but did foster Jenny Bradley (daughter of Alan "should have seen that tram coming" Bradley). She took Sally and Kevin under her wing for a while too.

If Tina Malone from Brookside can have IVF at 51 in real life, I don't think Rita doing the same in her 70's would be beyond the Corrie script writers Wink

squoosh · 13/08/2013 19:42

I'm sure if Rita took a course of multi vitamins and employed some more exotic sexual positions she and Dennis could be parents yet.

whatkungfuthat · 13/08/2013 20:31

Thanks squoosh, I now have that mental image and I fear it's not going away anytime soon

Begginyouformercy · 13/08/2013 21:47

Did Craig not see Karl throwing up (ew, ew, ew) at some point - maybe after he nearly killed Dev?

BadgersNadgers · 13/08/2013 22:03

squoosh Grin

DTisMYdoctor · 13/08/2013 22:51

Ah, thanks for clarification re: Rita. I thought you'd all gone a bit bonkers!!! Grin

hippychick66 · 14/08/2013 08:14

The thing that gets me about Craig is the way he just storms off everytime someone tries to talk to him. I don't let my 13 year old son get away with that. Yes, I think he did see Karl acting odd in the alleyway after Karl nearly killed Dev. Where is Dev these days?

Begginyouformercy · 14/08/2013 09:31
