Corrie latest thread- No spoilers!

[Clionba]

I'm a bit confused by some of the current living arrangements....
Who lives with Eileen?
Is Sean still living with Billy?
Does Claud live with Ken?

YES!!! Seb is defo gonna try it on with Sarah I think. I think he will think that she likes him as she’s helping get his job back.

Did Gary not do a stint inside for getting cannabis for Izzy?

Oh God. Sarah and Seb. I saw that coming as soon as he sat down at her kitchen table. Yawn.

Actually quick google reveals that Gary has spent time inside and has a rather large criminal record (inc violent offences), so it's rather hypocritical for him to taking that stance in the cafe.

Looks like we’re going to have a wedding. I would love it to go without a hitch but no doubt Clayton will turn up or something.

Gary was introduced to the show as a cell mate of David’s from his stint in young offenders! He doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.

I’d love them to line up everyone who has been inside on the street and show Claudia exactly who her new neighbours will be. Even without the hostel

Tyler is so miscast. He is supposed to be a nasty, bullying scumbag, leader of a 'cool' gang, but there he is washing pots and bring polite and well, nice. His mother is a piece of work though. Yes Seb is making puppy eyes at Sarah, hopefully nothing will come of it. Won't bother commenting on Shona and Clayton, load of rubbish. David was great though.

I'm so fed up with unrealistic 'dramatic' scenes of hostage-taking, blackmail and mysterious newcomers.
Is Faye still at school? Is she just down for a half-term visit, or will next week see her at a sewing machine in the knicker factory.
Feel increasingly tempted to take a large pair of shears to Seb's 'man-bun'.

Does anyone else reckon all is not as it seems with Kate’s “wedding planner” mate? (who appears to live in the bistro now) I reckon there is more to her story about why her marriage ended. She mentions it too often.

Realistic storyline: Max develops separation anxiety and refuses to leave Shona’s side, starts refusing school, his long forgotten behavioural issues resurface and they have to see welfare officers, therapists etc. David and Shona realise there is too much fucking drama in their children’s young lives so put wedding plans on hold, kick everyone who doesn’t pay the mortgage out of their house and focus on raising their traumatised children.

What will probably happen: Nick and Shona will have an affair when he comforts her in the aftermath of this latest event.

I’d love to see a really happy wedding for David and Shona. Nothing too dramatic, just really heartwarming. David’s a stalwart of the street and they need a nice wedding for once.

I agree it would be nice to see them get a happy event!

I’m not feeling David and Shona as a couple. David is great, Shona is great but I don’t think they’ve got good chemistry. It feels like they rushed her in as a Kylie replacement and without the long build up of their relationship it doesn’t seem strong enough to survive all the dramas. They don’t seem spunky together. Just didn’t buy it when David was telling Nick why she’s the best thing ever.

The Bistro brothers are back about six weeks too late.

IloveMaxi, poor Max would just be shipped off to the school Hope is attending, you know the one with no waiting list at all and no assessment required (well apart from your on screen mother needing maternity leave) and probably come back five years older with a new head and fully grown beard to rival Davids.

I've been predicting a Shona/Nick thing for ages, christ knows they have no original storylines anymore so might as well just rehash another one.

If Gary goes all Phelan I'm never watching again, and I've a feeling he might!

Can't stand Paul, he's bloody awful.

What's this with Summer pushing Billy and Paul together, as if!

I wish they’d bring a few old characters back with new heads. Andy MacDonald for starters, then Tommy Duckworth perhaps and maybe even Todd. Also I’d like to see the actual Curly Watts come back, the actor’s been on the tv lots of times talking about how he’d like to but the producers have never asked him.

A few months ago I started watching Corrie on Catch Up so I could fast forward over the tedious bits. Got to a point a few weeks ago where I realised there were no characters or story lines that remotely interested me so I gave up. I'm in my 50s and have watched Corrie all my life. But it's now complete trash. Just popped on here to see if there were any signs of improvement. Seems not .

and probably come back five years older with a new head and fully grown beard to rival Davids.

yes!

Also I’d like to see the actual Curly Watts come back, the actor’s been on the tv lots of times talking about how he’d like to but the producers have never asked him.

Yes!! Isn’t there a co-op on the new set now? He could be the manager of the co-op! Why did curly leave?

I always enjoyed the banter between Curly and Reg Holdsworth.

Yes it was funny.

They were kind of on the same track with Dev and Tyrone’s new nana with her always looking for a price reduction but they let that drop too. It had potential.

Where have Ryan and Ali been? They seem to have all of a sudden appeared in last nights episodes

When Ryan and what-his-name reappeared behind the bistro bar last night, I had to think very hard to remember who they were. I'd forgotten one was a doctor!

I'd forgotten one was a doctor!

I think the writers did too!
