Corrie - New Producer, New hope? No spoilers please

[HettySunshine]

Thought I'd start a new one as we're not far off and there'll be much to talk about this week, I I fear.

*so unnatural

He just stands around with a tea towel on his shoulder

So Ali is a doctor and Ryan is an Ibiza lout. Is this supposed to indicate the superiority of Improbable GP?

Which one is Michelle's biological son? (Just pondering the nature/nurture element, here!)

Ali is Michelle's biological son, Ryan is the one she and her husband raised.

And he was fairly normal from what I remember, until she met Steve and moved him onto the Street.

That's where it all went wrong.

Since then he's had three different faces, a stalker, a drug habit, and several personality transplants.

Did anyone see how Toyah held out her arm to take the baby from (urgh, Aiden's dad - name?), it was unnatural it's untrue!

I’m so glad that wasn’t just me! I almost started a thread about people handling babies awkwardly on TV! It was really clumsy.

How did Jack get into the hut where Phelan was? Did Gary leave it unlocked?

He squeezed in through the gap between the two gates to the yard and then I don’t think the door to the torture room was locked as he just seemed to open it.

I’m so in awe of Nicola. Up, dressed and floating around just hours after a c section. Amazing.

Not that I've ever done it, but presumably the first rule of taking prisoners is - always lock the door!

And agree with Days about Nicola. Wafting about, fresh as a daisy and carrying her baby without a care in the world ...

I couldn’t straighten up for 2 weeks after my emergency c/s and walked like and at the pace of an old woman!!

Not that I've ever done it, but presumably the first rule of taking prisoners is - always lock the door! grin

Are we surprised though? It’s gary windass.

Same here - I couldn't stand up straight after emergency c section and was on a drip longer than the amazing Nicola!
She also seems to have forgiven Faye for setting off fireworks and causing a potentially life threatening fall down the stairs. Oh well.

I can't stand Eileen. Someone asked upthread what we thought of Steve and Michelle. The answer: not much. Never believed in them as a couple. She seemed to treat him as an idiot and a joke and he had no passion for her. He cheated on her with Becky and presumably had unprotected sex with Leanne just a day or so into "a break" whilst they were dealing with the loss of their stillborn son.

Michelle has more chemistry with Robert.

he's had three different faces, a stalker, a drug habit, and several personality transplants - thanks, Hygge - not surprising I was confused!

I just caught up on the last couple of episodes. There is so much going on, why have we not seen Eva?(or Leanne), has there been a funeral for Aiden? What is happening with the will and Alya now owning the factory? Why is Alya so unlikeable?

David has been excellent, as has Shona and Johnny has been very good too.

I thought Jack was Liam at first, I liked that he wasn’t fooled by Phelan. Surely Sarah would tell Gary if he didn’t call the police she would?

Michelle’s hair looks awful 👀

I liked Michelle’s hair! Thought it looked really pretty!

Ooh I thought Her hair was horrendous! As was her dress.

What an idiot Gary Windass is. He locked the gates behind him so both he and Sarah were trapped with a serial killer. Nice one gaz.

I missed what has set Robert off. Did he walk in on Michelle and Steve kissing?

Round of applause for the worst acting in Corrie history from New Face Ryan. Did anyone else see him when Michelle was telling him and Ali off for rowing? It was like he had forgotten his directions!

How did Phelan get free? One minute he was on the floor still tied to the chair.. I wish he'd just shoot Gary, he's as useless as Mr Bean. Sarah should've just rung the police too. They really need Jack to tell someone.

Yes I think Robert must've seen Steve kiss Michelle. I hope Robert stays away, I don't warm to him. Michelle can follow him!0

Phelans cable ties on his hands suddenly became very loose and he wriggled free.

Thanks.

And how did Jack get out if the gate was locked so tight?

Not sure actually! I guess he must have squeezed out somehow like he did coming in.
