Anyone reckon they know where this is heading? I thought Owen was going to do something to him but now I'm thinking Phelan's wife might be added to the mix??

No, but it's a storyline that leaves me cold so I hope whatever it is they get on with it. After all, they've rushed through enough storylines which really could/should have moved more slowly so they can run true to type and zap this one quickly.

Groovee · 29/03/2014 13:53

I really don't like this storyline. They should have listened to Anna and learned from past mistakes.

onedev · 29/03/2014 16:34

The whole storyline is ridiculous - hope they hurry up & get it over with soon. Does anyone care about any of those characters?

mileysorearse · 29/03/2014 18:22

I don't get it or like it. I can't see where its going unless its to get rid of all the Windyasses, in which case yay!

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 29/03/2014 18:29

It's tedious, hopefully one of their jerry built houses will fall on them all.

EthelDorothySusan · 29/03/2014 18:30

I have missed some of what has gone on. Why was Anna worried about Izzy?

squoosh · 29/03/2014 18:31

I think Anna is going to sleep with Phelan in exchange for him ending the feud.

Ridiculous.

Boring storyline, throw them all in a deep hole and cover it up with quick drying cement.

shakinstevenslovechild · 29/03/2014 18:31

It's very annoying.

I feel like shouting at the TV 'blackmail is also illegal, fecking record him blackmailing you and play him at his own game you bunch of wankers'.

I may be slightly over invested in corrie Grin

Ronmione · 29/03/2014 19:15

I think Anna will sleep with phelan in return for him not talking to the police about Gary and giving Owen his money back.

Then I think that Owen will become all depressed and make it about how he feels, and he and Gary will fall out

theliverpoolone · 29/03/2014 19:41

I'm just irrationally irritated by how everyone calls Phelan 'Phelan' - his name's Pat, ffs!

NuggetofPurestGreen · 29/03/2014 21:02

I actually can't pay attention to this storyline. It's so boring. The worst one they've had in a while and that's saying something. And WHY would you go into a business with a dodgy bloke who wouldn't pay you and you had to rob his bike to get the money so he hates you??!! WHY?

Ronmione · 30/03/2014 17:59

Can't be worse than the:

tina/peter/Carla storyline or
Dev and the gym
Stella and her moaning or
Well anyone of them really, it's so boring at the moment

loveliesbleeding1 · 30/03/2014 20:04

Very boring storyline, but isn't it going to lead to tina's death somehow?.
It makes me mad because they knew Phelan was bad news, and still they went into business with him, ridiculous.

mileysorearse · 31/03/2014 07:49

Is it? I was really beginning to think that it's Peter who will off Tina just to shut her up.

loveliesbleeding1 · 31/03/2014 15:25

Oohh, miley, that would be brilliant!.

Viviennemary · 31/03/2014 15:30

It really is a silly story line. Could anyone be so incredibly stupid as to hand over £80,000 with no solicitor overseeing the business side of it.

mileysorearse · 31/03/2014 15:48

lovelies, I think he is starting to panic. Could be totally wrong though. I hope its Michelle as I can't abide her Grin Sorry everyone for going off topic.

It would be bonkers if they tried to imply a shag with Anna is worth £80K!

squoosh · 31/03/2014 15:55

'It would be bonkers if they tried to imply a shag with Anna is worth £80K!'

I KNOW!

I don't care if it's unsisterly or not but a shag from Anna who works in the local caff is not worth 80K

Defenbaker · 15/04/2014 00:23

Clearly Phelan agreed with you, as he's not returned the £80K.

Agree with shakinstevenslovechild: "I feel like shouting at the TV 'blackmail is also illegal, fecking record him blackmailing you and play him at his own game you bunch of wankers'." I've been thinking that for weeks, along with thinking that Gary should have just gone to the police station and confessed to the assault - that would have taken the power right away from Phelan and chances are Gary would not have been given a long sentence, in view of mitigating circumstances (defending his mother's rep, PTSD after army etc). All in all a very depressing and totally unrealistic storyline.

onedev · 15/04/2014 01:18

Totally agree re blackmail Def - completely doing my head in & yet I'm still watching! Grin

SavoyCabbage · 15/04/2014 03:36

Even if Gary was put in the Big House with Jim MacDonald for punching phelan, the family would still be better off financially with their £80000 back.

mileysorearse · 15/04/2014 09:25

Nothing makes sense. Owen is fronting it all so presumably it's his name over all the paperwork so he should be the one who gets the capital and profits paid into an account in his name? Phelan can't have a bank account if he is bankrupt can he?

mileysorearse · 15/04/2014 09:26

Also (on a roll here, can you tell?) how long would Gary actually get? Phelan doesn't look like he was at all harmed and he didn't report it at the time so why would the police act now?

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 15/04/2014 10:44

This storyline was ridiculous. I can't believe Owen was tricked in such an obvious way. Phelan and his wife are comedy villains. Who the hell actually walks around with pursed lips, nose in the air while flashing a tacky overpriced handbag? Plus all Anna ever does now is sneer and roll her eyes. Boring.

HeyBungalowBill · 15/04/2014 10:45

I swear I saw Phelan driving through my village the other week Grin

That is all I have to add to the thread.
