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.

I had to google Delores - it was in 2002/2003 & was her lecturer (someone called John who was much older & reappeared as a police officer a couple of years ago).

I think Billy has a cheek to keep taking the homeless girl back to Eileen's. She looks very well groomed considering she's homeless. Now that Billy has decided to return to the church again I wonder what will happen to the job he was offered, and will he turf his replacement out of the vicarage? It all seems very badly thought through.

Rachel0Greep · 03/01/2017 10:59

Watching Phelan versus Andy is like watching a lion toy with a fly or something. Even bumbling Michael seemed a better opponent.

Please let Maria be jailed for crimes against acting.

southeastdweller · 03/01/2017 11:32

I absolutely loved the scene with Toyah bitching to Eva about the irritating Maria - 'poisonous munchkin'. Hopefully they won't make up after Maria leaves prison.

Olddear · 03/01/2017 11:47

Yes, Billy was a drug counsellor for a whole nanosecond. This homeless girl story is utter nonsense, as is Toyah/Peter. How did their affair start? Did he bump into her in Liverpool? Why do I even care......

eddiemairswife · 03/01/2017 11:53

The other strand that has been forgotten is Adam's car. I was reminded of this by reading another forum. Also, did we ever find out who was the mystery man peering through the Barlow's front window?

ellenanora5 · 03/01/2017 13:21

Oh god it's completely bonkers at the moment, Aiden going to visit Maria and offering her a trip away so she'll keep her mouth shut, no one cares Aiden no one.

Adam acting the hard man over the factory, give me a break, going on and about him being a Baldwin, ah shut the feck up.

Homeless girl is just a rehash of Maddie and Sophie.

Phelan storyline has been done to death.

I remember years ago when Toyah was in it and she was great, her acting was brilliant, remember when she was attacked and Jason found her, that story was done very well, I don't think the writers are up the job anymore.

loinnir · 03/01/2017 14:35

Wasn't Peter Barlow the main suspect in the Toyah rape case for a while? eddiemair'swife I have also been wondering about the car, Peter's black eye and the man hanging around. Was it just to lead us to believe that Peter was in money diffs rather than having an affair - maybe the writers spun their" story wheel " and changed it when Toyah actress said she'd return.

Is Adam a lawyer ?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 03/01/2017 15:35

I think I heard it mentioned that Adam is a Solicitor?
(When Tracey was oggling his car etc, I thought "Eurgh No, Tracey-Luv , too close to home" )

Rachel0Greep · 03/01/2017 16:18

According to Digital Spy, Johnny and Jenny were in the cafe in last night's episode for three hours, eating breakfast. Grin

theliverpoolone · 03/01/2017 18:31

Ooh, if Billy no longer wants his job offer as a drug counsellor.......there's a ready made vacancy for Toyah immediately!

theliverpoolone · 03/01/2017 18:34

If Adam's a solicitor he's a bit of a dodgy one, with the car scam he was pulling. Maybe he and Todd (ex-legal clerk) could set up a practice together "Dodgy solicitors RUs" Wink

cbigs · 03/01/2017 21:17

Olddear Grinwhy do I even care?

This ^😂
It's such nonsense but I'm so pleased when I've got episodes to catch up on! Just why??
Although the homeless girl story is dull as dishwater as is billy dicking about with his 'I've just got to do this' shite Hmm
Just yawn

loinnir · 04/01/2017 10:13

Billy has a right cheek - he is a guest at Eileen's but takes it upon himself to have random homeless girl thief come into their home without asking. Surely, Phelan would have something to say about it?

Was Adam the one who Ken went to look after in Canada (?) Is he a Canadian lawyer?

Eastie77 · 04/01/2017 10:37

Haven't watched for weeks but also wondering how/when Peter and Toyah met and started this affair. Hasn't he been working on boats (doing what exactly?) in various locations 'down South'?

Surely, prior to the affair, Toyah would have called and mentioned to Leanne that she had bumped into Peter in Liverpool or wherever they met.

It would have made sense for their affair to start after Toyah arrived on the street with her marriage in crisis as that would be in keeping with Peter's opportunistic character.

Adam a lawyer? Oh come on, really?Grin

loinnir · 04/01/2017 10:38

All I needed to know about Adam
coronationstreet.wikia.com/wiki/Adam_Barlow

He is a solicitor and did live in Canada. Had no idea he worked with Peter in a bookies in Portsmouth in the past. They aren't acting as if they know each other that well.

desperatehousewife21 · 04/01/2017 14:37

Not much to add other than that beige coat is doing Peter NO favours.

cbigs · 04/01/2017 16:03

I find I catch myself thinking about peter being attractive he's literally a loser in every way but I'd still go there over nick Hmm

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 04/01/2017 16:52

Peter is good looking but he's such a weakling! I watched back some clips where he was telling Leanne about Carla and Carla about Tina and he tries to blame them and won't take any responsibility. Same with his alcoholism. Can't stand him!!

cbigs · 04/01/2017 17:28

I know corporal . I really do know... but that all dulls with time convenient scripting never mentioning it again and suddenly I'm thinking 'hmmm he's quite attractive actually..' Hmm

Choccywokky · 04/01/2017 18:49

Andy is such a flop. It's hard work to watch he's that pathetic!

littlemissM92 · 04/01/2017 20:30

Can anyone else not stand jenny ?!? Grrrrr

dawnmist · 04/01/2017 20:58

She's awful isn't she. Pleased to see her get her comeuppance tonight.

littlemissM92 · 04/01/2017 21:09

Me too because I like Jonny

eddiemairswife · 04/01/2017 22:17

Corrie has gone from The Land of the Midnight Sun to permanent darkness. Near the beginning when Todd met Billy, Billy said he had spent the night with Shona; but it was dark, so it was either very early or late afternoon, which seems unlikely.
