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?

Feel sorry for Seb, Gary is a bully

I think Lolly lives in the wine cellar with the bistro brothers.

I did laugh tonight when she asked Rana “so you don’t have a problem with me and kate?”

Er! There is no “you and Kate” that’s not a thing. But I expect that’s where it’s heading. I reckon Lolly will stick the lips on Kate.

How on earth can Gary afford to employ all those builders when Phelan could only afford Gary and Seb and before that Owen only ever had Gary employed.

Gary - spent a few weeks in the army and came out with SAS like skills to work as a freelance security person in the Middle East.
Gary - did a few weeks building with Owen and Phelan as a labourer, didn’t take any qualifications and is now employing several men as a building contractor even though he can’t afford his own place and lives at his girlfriend’s brothers tardis/house.
Gary - shagged Nicola and got her pregnant whilst with Sarah, and now takes the moral high ground because seb fancies Sarah.

Lazy poorly thought out storylines.

IIRC Eddie Windass left because Anna wouldn't marry him and he didn't fancy adopting Faye as the felt their parenting days were over.

Finances are just totally ridiculous in soap land. Gary would have had to get a big loan (and he would have failed) to front the money for those builders. Often when you are contracting the company you are doing the work for doesn't pay you for several months, often delays on the invoices but you still have to pay your subbies. It can be a nightmare. Also, Gary isn't skilled, he's not done any courses or apprenticeship in an area of the buiding trade just laboured for Owen and Phelan called he Seb a "skilled labourer" I don't recall him being trained in a particular skill or going on a course and he has very little experience.

Also, how come any woman who arrives on the street is a skilled machinist,where did they acquire these skills? Oh to work in Underworld or Sharma's sweet factory (in Emmerdale) where you have lunches and endless coffees and chit chats not a ridiculously hard targets to meet or peice work rates.

That scene with Seb and the other guy and the sand bags was an example of humiliating workplace bullying at its worst. Hope Gary gets his comeuppance.

This programme is embarrassing now. Too much dead wood, poor acting in places, too many absurd storylines. Classic Corrie better x100.

This Lolly person is really getting on my wick now. What's the point of her?? I assume to split Kate and Rana up but frankly they've split up and got back together that many times I really couldn't care less.

Yeah also why would Lolly spring up and suddenly be besties with Kate after she hadn’t seen her for 20 years? Stupid!

I really hope they don’t go down the nick and Shona road. But they will

I really hope they don’t go down the nick and Shona road. But they will

Oh no, do you think so? I hope not, I really like David and Shona as a couple and I don't want to see David go through anymore heartbreak, he's suffered enough!

suddenly be besties with Kate after she hadn’t seen her for 20 years?

I know! The other night Kate was in shock at who was Lolly’s bridesmaid. So she’s wasn’t at the wedding, didn’t know it had even happened. And yet asked lolly to Be her bridesmaid!

Gary is horrible. I don't understand where does he live ?

Why is Billy always carrying that bloody man-bag around? I'd love to know what's in it. Is it a vicar thing??

Gary lives with the players which is even more ridiculous that he is ripping off David and Nick by ripping them off by overpricing.
When they find out he won't have a home and it's ridiculous Sarah would let him do this to her family.

Platts that should say not players!

Gary is a parasite and a bully. I don't think Sarah knows he is overcharging her brothers.

Whilst I completely agree wrt old Corrers, the comparisons with now are a bit unfair in that back then they only had to fill an hour with content whereas now it's bordering on 3! The battle for quality over quantity has been lost it seems.

Gary is horrible but did Seb really expect to get his job back after punching his boss in the pub?

Adam is hot. Just sayin. Much better than that ginger tosser Gary.

Gary has always been a bit of a Scrote though.

I think seb is a good looking lad but I always find it slightly unnerving that him and Faye are the I age of each other and look like they could be brother and sister.

Seb has just turned 18, how old is Faye? I thought she was about 16?

Gary introduced Eileen to the new builder guy as ‘the boss’ as it’s Jason’s yard. In which case you would think he would be more careful around Seb, given that she’s seems to have basically adopted him.

Yes good point Symphony.
