Corrie thread continues in spite of everything NO SPOILERS

[Clionba]

Hi everyone, the last thread was nearly full. Is Imran so short of work he can take on a case at 2 mins notice?

There was a thing of GMB this morning about Richard Hillman - 15 years ago I think they said, but I was rushing out to work!

Well that was a load of nonsensical bullshit. It'd take at least a few days to get home from Morocco without a passport. The embassy would need proof, at least £95 fee for an emergency passport and they'd likely involve the police who'd want to know why Tracy took passport.

'nipped out to the butchers for a bit of tongue'

That made me chuckle too, thenightsky

Naughty!! We need more of the double entendres, less of the catastrophes and terminal illnesses.

Daniel does my head in! He has for weeks. Pompous little bugger!

Daniel knows that the choice was Sinead's. It wasn't Ken's decision to keep the secret.

That baby really does look like Winston Churchill!

He's been a pompous arse for weeks, barging into the factory telling Peter he wasn't treating Sinead properly etc. He barges around controlling the environment around Sinead, he's a bit of a scary partner.

Yes the baby does look like WC!

Instill think they're setting Daniel up to be some kind of controlling and emotionally abusive jerk off.

I'm actually pretty moved by this cancer storyline and I didn't expect to be

Those episodes were too over dramatic for me, more like watching a dodgy play. And Sinead was too wooden.

It’s a tough storyline, and also a double hitter as it touches on the aspect of the woman’s right to choice/bodily autonomy WRT terminations. I think they’re covering it very well.

I'm afraid I can't stand either Daniel or Sinead. What is his job, by the way?

He’s gone back to uni isn’t he to do the famous masters? And part time in the bistro.

Speaking of the bistro, does Nick still have a stake in it? I thought Robert took it over but Nick seemed to be helping himself to drinks etc?

I actually thought the second episode tonight was quite good, Peter was great, at least he got to say more than a few words, we need more of that and less of the nonsense like Audrey/Claudia/Ken rubbish.

But I still don't like Daniel, I never have and I don't trust him one bit, I said it before that he's becoming a control freak and even tonight the way he was speaking to Sinead was very manipulative I thought, "if you loved me you wouldn't risk leaving me" putting all the guilt on her, nope he's a creep.

Yes I’ve gone right off him too. He’s very arrogant.

I just wanted her to reply "no I mustn't love you then, so get out!" He's controlled everything so far, he planned all the wedding, the old lady moving in with them (what was she called??), he is always loitering around the factory telling Peter what she needs. It's no wonder she's getting bullied, I'm amazed anyone is still speaking to her. He's just a typical controlling abuser. With a lot of bad stuff going on in his head, as he's already proven.

It bugged me that the drs were talking to him about his wife - they didn't have a real wedding, did they?

Sorry I'm on a real grump about him tonight, aren't I!

Who was the old lady who moved in, and what happened to her?

She went off somewhere, they had a farewell tea dance, didn't they?

Peter was great tonight, agree that he and Adam are ridiculously under used. I don't really understand why the second episode was basically all about Ken.

Yes, the old lady inherited money from her dead son (Phelan's partner in crime) and instead of arranging for any of the people he'd swindled to be recompensed she took a liking to a swanky care home that Daniel introduced her and moved there. I think.

I missed most of the episode(s) tonight, how did Daniel find out about the cancer?

I think you're all correct about Daniel and his controlling behaviour. It'll be interesting to see whether that's actually where the writers are going with his character (and I think it would fit in with the rejection by his mother and his weird lies about where she was) or whether he's just a very badly-written lovely husband who we're supposed to think is sweet.
