Corrie Thread - the best (of the worst!) NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!

[yawning801]

Good God... how did they win best soap? The best soap is Molten Brown. Fact. (Lime and Patchouli, specifically!) What with dozy Rosie, booed Jude and airy-fairy Rosemary... think we'll all be reaching for the remote control by the time Jude has emerged from his kennel!

So Improbable GP Ali is now also a hospital doctor, giving a diagnosis about Ryan? In a snide way? Lovely.

@Clionba Ali's next rotation was a position at the hospital so he works there now and not as a gp at the health centre. But yes, he's improbable in whatever role!

Ryan is a nasty piece of work, I knew he was listening to everything.

How is Craig going to keep his job if he keeps spilling his guts to Kayla about Bethanys case.

Why does Maria expect Audrey to just let her invest in the business, anyway I thought David owned the hairdressers now, didn't Audrey sign it over to him years ago.

Where would Maria get the money anyway?
Its totally ridiculous that Rita, Sarah, and all the other people who bought flats would write off the money that Lenny/ Harvey and Phelan stole. It wasn’t a couple of hundred, it was thousands of pounds. Do the script writers think we all have the same short memories that they seem to have?

Oh yes... I think David is the owner of the hair dressing salon!

Ali's next rotation was a position at the hospital so he works there now and not as a gp at the health centre.

How fortuitous that they suddenly had to admit so many characters to hospital after he had switched to there! they’re going all out to give Ali lots of screentime despite him being the focal point of none of the stories!

Btw- how long are they going to drag out Sean’s being unemployed and skint storyline? He’s been telling fizz for weeks that he is leaving.

That’s really annoying me that Daniel hasn’t pointed out that Flora’s inheritance is all the money that Harvey or Vinny or whatever his name is stole from the street residents. And now he’s got some f it!

It seems odd that Sean is desperately looking for work - so much so that he was willing to work for half-wages at the curry place, when, at the same time, the factory lasses are working overtime to get an order out. I thought Sean was meant to be a fabulous knicker sewer, so why isn't his lovely friend Fizz, who is working overtime, not getting him reinstated behind a sewing machine?

That would make far too much sense thenightsky

Maria's only skill at hairdressing is running a comb through the hair while standing there looking confused. Has she ever even held a hairdryer. That goes for Audrey too i suppose.

The Sean story makes zero sense. Sean has friends on the street, friends who would really around him if he just said the place scked him or it closed or what have you. They're playing it or the too proud angle I guess but that doesn't really fit with Sean imo.

Thank you keepondreaming I didn't realise Ali was now at the hospital. In thar very department!
Good point about Sean. Great, experienced machinist, why not go back to Underworld?

Didnt pat phelan pay back the money lost to the street residents in the con. Or am I imagining that?

I think Pat gave them some money, but not the amount they'd been conned out of.

I think Rita was the only one who mentioned the money that Vinnie owed them. It was when she was asked to attend his funeral.

Ryan and Ali are two of the dullest characters in the show, and that's saying a lot while the wooden Jude is still around; I don't even know or care which of them is Michelle's real son or the swapped one.

I hated Ali when he arrived, he was really creepy with all that stuff with Carla and he seems to be almost flirting with Michele at times. Which is weird. But since Ryan has arrived I love Ali. His hatred for Ryan and the way he engages with him is hilarious. I love it.

Cried at David and Billy. I used to hate David I think he’s my favourite character now!

Can Sophie not request medical notes under FOI or something
?

Yes David is brilliant. Thank god they aren’t giving him shite storylines.

I love him and David the dog

You can request medical notes under data protection but only your own. Kevin could do it for Jack as he is a child, but his half sister can't!

Oh yes I meant get Kevin to do it if she’s that worried!

I seem to remember Phelan gathered all the conned residents in the Bistro and gave each one some money. Don't think it was the full amount but maybe £5k. No-one questioned it or thought it odd that he was walking around with brown envelopes stuffed with cash.

Sean and Eileen were like family. If he texted her and explained his situation she would say go and stay at mine until it is rented out. Billy would put him up as would any number of other people on the street. Yasmine randomly took in homeless Aidan at one point. This storyline is so silly. He is not the kind of person who would be too proud to ask for help.

Yes I am sick of Shaun standing around looking sheepish (see what I did there) and fretting about having no job. He didn't fall out with Alya as far as I recall so why doesn't he just ask her for a job. He really needs to be just in the background as far back as possible
