Corrie Thread - Is Daniel the least convincing man of mystery ever? - no spoilers please

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Time for a new thread.

I am hoping by the end of this thread Phelan will have disappeared, Anna and family will have moved away and someone will have remembered to book a babysitter for baby Jack.

A fine mission statement, Anne!

Baby Jack's been missing so long he'll probably reappear as a teenager, with even Kevin having forgotten he ever existed

Jack was looking very old the last time he even made an appearance!

Jack is 6 and in Y1. Hope and Ruby haven't been seen for months. When Alyia left home did she go to live at Tyrone's, or did I imagine it?

Placemarking

I'm just glad that awful Michael has gone. Never have to need eye bleach again after seeing him and Gail snogging. Bleurghhhh!!

Jack is 6??? Bloody hell. I think I've seen him twice in that time.

Lovely new thread thank you! have you noticed the mini community centre not been in use for ages. Probable have nativity play for kids mind.
Nice to see Brian back has some good lines. Where will Sean go and live back with Eileen?
Hope and other one prob have a Christmas story about money. Though that was short lived money problems

It's groundhog day again isn't it? Gail loses yet another husband and Peter is looking wistfully at Leanne while Nick clenches his jaw

That's very true about Groundhog Day!
Michael took a chance marrying Gail really, she buried all of her husbands except Martin.

Oh dear. If you want to avoid spoilers don't look at today's Daily Mail.

Wonder who is next for Gail.....

eddiemair'swife I think Aliyah mentioned she was sleeping on Fizz's sofa (euh) but that was the day after she had been chucked out. Would Fiz not have a spare room? Did their loft extension ever get finished? Where does Rana live? Does Steph's brother live at Ty's house too?

Is Dev 's tiny 2 up 1 down also a 4 bed place?

I think at Dev's one of the previous tenants (Curly?) built an observatory in the loft, so that would be an extra bedroom. However, the twins would have separate bedrooms now I would have thought, and Mary seems to live there, so that is 4 bedrooms plus a bathroom. I think Luke must live with Steph and Andy, though he could end up at the Barlows' if things plan out with Tracy. Surely Rana would be able to put Alyia up.

Could somebody please explain what all that stuff with the cash in the cistern at Dev's was all about? I wasn't paying attention tonight and completely failed to get it! TIA

Does anyone else think that Mary and Brian would be an excellent match?

Why doesn't Eileen suggest Phelan sells some of the building materials or the £30,000's worth of tiles...she must assume there'd be stuff to flog on eBay or something.

Luke was renting a room from Tyrone and Fiz, I assumed he was still there

Alyia appeared from Tyrone's early in tonight's episode.

Optimist - the twins stole some scratch cards from their dad's shop, one was a winning ticket, so they got Bethany to cash it in for them. They must have hidden the winnings in the cistern.

So excuse the ignorance but do Muslims get married that quickly, No invites or anything? I wasn't aware the wedding was imminent. They were talking the day before about it being something the next day, before z called it off, but I didn't know what that word meant.
Aldi and asda pinched a scratch card from devs and it won £300. They convinced Bethany to claim it was hers and split the winnings three ways optimist

It is possible to just turn up and getting married once the Iman is sure you both do so of free will. They are normally very quick to avoid long engaged temptations!

It is a religious wedding but if notice is given and register present then it can be both religious and legal. Given they did it in at short notice and seemed no other officials they will need another legal wedding too.

Given he was very strict about his sister having sex outside marriage I'm suprised he married her what with all the hints about her past life.

Her mum seems to dislike her! Wonder what other secrets she had? Surely hubby would smell alcohol on her. There's going be trouble ahead!

They mentioned needing a legal wedding tonight. I wonder if they will get that far? It does seem doomed.

I'm sure I've seen Rana drinking wine before, I wasn't sure if she was a Muslim at first, she's obviously not as strict as the Nazirs.

Luke moved out of Ty's into Maria's and I thought he moved in with Steph when they split. But if so Alya could have his room. Or maybe he's back there again!

Surely factory guy or any worker could have said yes that looks like her picture of if not 100%. Making it out it's his imagination.

Remind me again why factory guy bothering with Maria? wouldn't Curt girlfriend/wife not move into Maria's. They have place to themselves bar the son. Graig would be living with 2 other adults. Odd he's there by himself.
