CORRIE - the soap with more holes than swiss cheese! *SPOILER-FREE ZONE*

[yawning801]

Slightly copying the old thread's title...

Come on Corrie writers! Get a grip! This is the thread to moan about the utter tosh that we end up watching, or in some cases to praise the actors because some of them are actually pretty good! Let's discuss!

I was thinking that Anna will have a retrial and be found innocent, but now doubting it.
I know there is injustice out there, but it's hardly sending out the right message considering children as young as 9 watch it.

I howled at the balloons saying 'Enry'

I howled at the balloons saying 'Enry'

So did I!

Interesting that Enry sacked off his mate to stay at the party. Wondering if there's going to be a positive twist in this story? About time something good happened, what with all the other very dark storylines going on.

Something that's confused me, how is Phelan a landlord? I know he was Andy ll, but couldn't work out how he came by owning that flat. I'm sure he was broke when he came back on the street, prior to Vinny saga.

Why did Anna not shout at about Luke at the trial as she was going down? Seriously, I don't think they would allow Phelan to shout at her like that either. Eileen needs a bloody good shake, let's go back when he wags his finger. Urgh

What is the whole story with ‘Enry? I know he was up to something with Gemma but what is it? Do we know?

Think it might be he's going out with her for a bet

It's Jason's flat. He left it for Eileen to manage and Phelan has just wormed his way in to looking after it, he does any repairs etc.

I thought Jason Owned a flat above the Kabin? I remember him renovating one that I thought was above rotas kabin.

I think Alya and Kate live in Jason's flat because Eileen came around after Luke's memorial and mentioned it. Didn't he buy it with Sarah or Eva or someone else a couple of years ago?

As I posted earlier, I honestly think the directors are using Corrie to audition for Scandinavia thrillers !

I think ‘H’enry is starting to like/fall for Gemma, I like her, she makes me laugh

I'm predicting Eileen will find the gun after Phelan puts it back in the toolbox because he knows she's already looked there. She'll need a screwdriver for something or other and will come across it quite innocently... just guessing

I can't be bothered to catch up with last night's second episode but I gather Anna was found guilty. But when she went on the run and broke into Phelan's office, didn't she see in his diary that he was at an appointment and not on the street when Seb fell off his ladder? Surely she should have got her solicitor onto that? Along with dozy Rosie seeing Phelan in Adam's office...

And another of his misdemeanors that won't come out is him stealing Kevin's tow truck and selling it, with Andy his accomplice, unless Andy isn't really dead of course!

I agree Silence, it seemed to be suggested that Henry chose to stay at the party with Gemma instead of meeting up with his mate Hugo.

I was really annoyed with Eileen too. Where is the intelligent and feisty character we saw previously?

The court case is a joke. The forensic evidence would not stand up to any scrutiny, nobody sought to corroborate or refute Phelan's testimony by asking Rosie or Adam whether Anna ever went into the office or has access to a key. I know that we have to allow for some poetic licence and suspension of disbelief but this is ridiculous.

I agree. No one questioned how Anna managed to gain entry to a locked solicitors office, go upstairs to the empty flat above it - open the sash windows (can they open?) reach out and grab the ladder - push it over with Seb on it , close the window, get out of the flat and be down to comfort Seb and ask for someone to phone an ambulance straight after his fall ad the only forensic "evidence" - the earring was found in the vacuum cleaner which Rosie had brought from home - a home that Anna visits. Made no sense whatsoever - even with the useful suspension of belief allowed for soaps.

That club Bethany works in is open some bizarre hours. Yesterday it seemed to be open on a Monday morning at the same time the street residents were getting ready to go to court & cleaning the pub before it opened, presumably for lunchtime. Who goes to a lapdancing club in the morning??

Men who work shifts?

It's a very demure lap dancing club. One girl listlessly was touching a pole a few episodes back but there has been no lap dancing and everyone is very well covered. Do they not offer "private dances"?Not many punters either.

It's very small too, not enough room for them to thrust and gyrate about.

Oh of course, I didn't think about shift workers. I'm not that knowledgeable on lapdancing clubs - well you learn something new every day It just seems a bit ... unseemly, don't know why, going to watch some lapdancing on a Monday morning when everyone is going to school or work (or court)

Pint in Wetherspoons then on to Big Babs Titty Bar for a morning ogle.

Henry might have another reason to stick around with Jemma... he met Rosie just before the phone call from Hugo. He might not be as innocent as they're making out.

I'm about to retire from Corrie - sad after half a century. I cannot stand this Phelan storyline.

Yes 'Enry fancies Rawsie.

Anna's lawyer was pretty crap, couldn't Adam have helped?

Or CSI for that matter
