Did Carla not get rid of her flat because that's where creepy whatsisname raped her? And did Paul not put his house on the market? or am I making that all up?

I was watching Paul acting his little socks off and crushing his beer can and couldn't help think of him as Trouser Smell Grin.

How did they manage to get the wee baby to quieten down when Izzy took him from Gary? (I wasn't watching terribly closely, was it just a recording of a baby crying when Gary was holding him?)

I think she is definitely going to die (or the researchers are crap) because pancreatic cancer has the worst prognosis of any cancer , even when caught in the early stages - which it rarely is as it is asymptomatic until it is too late. My DGCs maternal DGM died from it last year.

I think it will make depressing viewing for anyone affected including our family.

I cant help but think why pick this kind of cancer? Why not pick one that everyone knows someone who has survived it , then if she dies at least people affected will know it could have gone either way instead of having their worst fears confirmed iyswim.

Trouser-Smell sold his house to pay for the care home iirc. They have had so many ridiculous and poorly researched storylines recently:

Tracey-Luv being pg with twins and having no special medical care despite being a transplant patient.

The Tyrone saga

John Stape

Rat Boy and Kylie getting a mortgage offer, completing and moving Gail into the box room in three days

Norris having the house transferred to his name despite not having a solicitor of his own look over the docs to protect his interest. This must be a plot device as they have completely disregarded the fact that some of the house legally belongs to Gail.

And now Lloyd....

momnipotent · 30/07/2013 16:32

How is it that some of the house belongs to Gail?

whatkungfuthat · 30/07/2013 17:02

Emily sold some (or all, no one is sure) of the house to Richard Hillman to get money for Spider, which was only repayable on her death. There was a link to an article about it on the previous thread. The ownership should revert to Gail but the writers are seemingly ignoring it.

momnipotent · 30/07/2013 17:04

Right! I had totally forgotten that! Maybe that is coming up as a nice surprise for Norris.

whatkungfuthat · 30/07/2013 18:11

Not sure, if it does its because there have been articles in the press and on the net saying that the writers have forgotten who owns the house, it could be a hasty rewrite.

Ellenora5 · 30/07/2013 18:33

I wonder do the cast groan when they get their scripts, surely even they can tell how awful some of the storylines are, apart from Royley (that's my new name for Roy and Hayley) storyline the rest really is rubbish.

Yes Carla sold her house because of Tony attacking her in it :( almost a good storyline that!

FannyMcNally · 30/07/2013 19:24

Couldn't Hayley have a miracle cure and still live with Roy and Sylvia but we never see her? Roy could call up the stairs to her occasionally and other characters could talk about her but she would just remain 'off camera'. They are doing it for 2 other characters at the moment why not a third?

Lila5763 · 30/07/2013 20:28

cant stand the David and Nick storyline. Why cant people just say hey you have slept with my wife?

Pixiepie · 30/07/2013 22:21

Well Gail must have forgotten too because she was in financial difficulty was she not!!! So inconsistent!! I dont want Hayley to leave. Its such a sad storyline :(

lilmamma · 31/07/2013 03:04

hayley does die, she has other things planned and 2 young children, as she wouldnt be the type to leave roy, so only one way out for her. Need t o get rid of tracy luv, she is boring and the child we never see, dont know who minds her all the time :( maria, she is a wooden actress, and only combs a few hairs and makes coffee :( I love sylvia,she makes me laugh :) Dev, he is a rubbish actor, i could gladly smack his face :P

dotnet · 31/07/2013 08:11

I never particularly thought of Dev as a rubbish actor, but he made my flesh creep when he was supposedly crying heartbrokenly ever Sunita. Did it drive anyone else up the wall? ('I need (noisy gulps of breath) to keep things normal (noisy breath, gulp, noisy intake of breath, gulp, splutter, another noisy intake of breath) for my lovely wife'...

I REALLY hated Dev's crying technique. Some of the other Corrie actors are absolutely brilliant at it though.

Lagoonablue · 31/07/2013 11:00

What is the deal with Gary? Why is he pissed off re the baby?

Sallystyle · 31/07/2013 11:13

Gary is just a possessive freak.

DesperateHousewife21 · 31/07/2013 16:16

I think its because he cant do anything right and is finding it hard to bond? I don't know if there is some deeper reason though.

St ella does not die...I was thinking her hair is getting silly, she was talking to Leanna I think it was and her centre parting made her fringe come out about 5 miles from her face. I wanted to part her fringe just so I could actually see her face.

DesperateHousewife21 · 31/07/2013 16:16

Leanne*

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/07/2013 21:07

Mandy is leaving !! Hope she runs away with trouser smell

Pixiepie · 31/07/2013 23:13

I cant stand Mandy, I dont think she is a good actress at all and agree that tracy is so boring. I was wondering the same about Gary. I wonder how the storyline will develop.

BadgersNadgers · 01/08/2013 08:10

Leaving? Excellent. Any chance she can take Jenna and Sophie with her?

DesperateHousewife21 · 01/08/2013 08:20

Maybe paternal PND?

Airwalk79 · 01/08/2013 08:22

What was izzy wearing? I'm sure it was a child's top.

I'm finding David quite amusing but can't see how they can drag this out till Christmas.

Mandy needs to go. Now.

Where's Tyrone and the babies?

I could see Gary becoming abusive. He is a very angry little man.

melika · 01/08/2013 09:11

I am absolutely furious that they have given Hayley pancreatic cancer, the same time my Dsis has been diagnosed with it. And knowing she dies from it I am distraught watching it. I love those characters too.

And the treatment she is getting already, DON'T BELIEVE IT. My sister diagnosed mid May, still awaiting the operation (first one cancelled).
Hayley is getting hers soon.

The NHS is on it's knees. Don't expect your cancer operation is going to happen next week, more like months.
