I was thinking Adam and Jenny. She's had such a shit time and deserves a fit young bloke. Either him or Imran.

Ken is "resting". It's going to be a while before Norris is back, if at all. The wooden Jude family are living at Norris' house (rent free?) does Mary live there too??

Ken has retired. I read an interview with him where he said he wanted to be in Corrie when he was 100. Actually thinking of Robert and Michelle, they were about to get married in the Bistro then Phelan burst in and shot people.

cloudyweewee · 14/08/2018 13:38

That should say Ken has not retired.

Greenteandchives · 14/08/2018 13:53

Isn’t Ken supposed to be in a holiday cottage with Simon somewhere?

cloudyweewee · 14/08/2018 14:03

Yes, Toyah said she had a friend who let them stay at her holiday cottage, so that Simon could escape from that 30 year old tearaway who tried to kill Eccles with a poisoned sausage sarnie.

thenightsky · 14/08/2018 14:34

You've got a better memory than me cloudy. I'd forgotten about the attempted assassination of Eccles. Shock

kikashi · 14/08/2018 14:44

Strange that Toyah didn't make use of the holiday cottage for Eva.Hmm

I think Mary is still living in the Tardis that is Dev's house.

Ken took some leave as his daughter died in RL. Norris has been extremely ill not sure if he'll be back

Poor Angie - I'd hate to camp out at Norris's with the block of wood that is Jude (who never seems to work in t'Kabin). Angie's book keeping and accounting is so much in demand could they not stretch to a Victoria Court Flat?

Ah yes, the attempted murder of Eccles. I wonder if that 30 year old tearaway will be back? Maybe he's taken his wife and two kids to Benidorm. Is Shona back at the Platts'? We really ought to have those rolling explanations like at the start of the Star Wars movies...

Emma (?) the apprentice at the salon has taken over Shona's room at Billy's. Billy presumably (with his forgotten bad back) must still be on the sofa. You'd think his vicar's salary plus tax credits/child benefit for Summer etc and perhaps HB would enable him to rent the flat on his own.

Also, couldn't the Church of England help out a bit? It seems a bit much that a recovering heroin addict with spinal injuries isn't helped more, although that rehab was amazing and gave him a six pack and a tan. Is he still a vicar? He wears the collar.

eddiemairswife · 14/08/2018 18:49

Has Billy still got a parish or has he opted out of actual 'vicaring'? I vaguely remember him conducting a wedding or a funeral (possibly both), but he doesn't seem to carry out any regular church duties. Is there a reason he doesn't live in the vicarage any more? I know the bishop wasn't happy about Todd (remember him?) living there, but as he's still on the run (I assume) there's no reason why Billy and miserable Summer can't move in.

Clionba · 14/08/2018 18:52

Yes, they could house him and that ghastly miserable Summer. Was ever a character named so inappropriately for their personality?

I think we ought to have closure on Todd. Even something weird and wonderful that he's joined a cult and changed his name to Dandelion. I'm guessing Toyah is going to run the medical centre. What happened to the woman that did? Maybe she'll fit in a bit of psychotherapy as well.

Toyah doing psychotherapy, that is. Not the previous practice manager (what was her name?)

OP posts:
kikashi · 14/08/2018 20:49

Moira - she was mad but just kind of disappeared. Toyah will get the job because being a "counsellor" and ex pub landlady for 5 minutes is the right fit to run a health centre Hmm

Maybe Eileen will get a cryptic card at Christmas from Jason (and Todd)- she seems remarkably unworried about Todd's whereabouts. Gary also seems to be AWOL

Deadringer · 14/08/2018 20:53

I would love Toyah to have a fling with a hot man and get pregnant, almost impossible I know but it might bring a smile to her face at least.

Original poster
Clionba · 14/08/2018 21:01

Ah, yes, Moira. I liked her. Has she left?
I was thinking the same about Toyah. Hook up with a bloke and get pregnant, but didn't that happen to Leanne? Unable to have children, then one night when the Steve....

OP posts:
BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 14/08/2018 21:14

Ah yes Steve and his super sperm! I think in real life Moira left to have a baby? I love her one sided relationship with Liz, I quite enjoyed their scenes at the medical centre. Please can we get rid of Jude? He is just so dull there really is nothing to his character, want to keep Angie though the street needs another glamorous career woman, but while she is stuck with that dead weight Jude her character can’t develop.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 14/08/2018 21:22

Why did Maria take Carla withdrawing her offer of investment so well? Her whole future relies on that investment, now she has no job, no home and no business but all Maria does is frown a bit at Carla and then offer her a biscuit!

Clawdy · 14/08/2018 22:39

It would be really interesting if Toyah discovered she was pregnant now, by Peter. She could have him grovelling to come back.

Good twist, Clawdy. You should write the scripts!

CatherineCawood · 14/08/2018 23:24

I hope Louiza Patikas (Moira) hasn't left. She might be recording for The Archers, she plays Helen (as in Rob and Helen, the big domestic violence story of a few years ago).

I too was confused about Imran and Toyah it was as if they had history of a row or disliking each other. V odd.

cloudyweewee · 15/08/2018 08:52

Didn't Imran get a mysterious kissy text a couple of episodes ago?

Original poster
Clionba · 15/08/2018 09:02

Did he??? Just kisses, or words?
I bet we'll meet his outrageously demanding and awful ex wife. She'll come and work at the factory /Dev's/Roy's having previously been a barrister or something.
