Coronation street thread. NO SPOILERS

[Absolutepowercorrupts]

I was a lurker on the last thread, I didn't post much, but I loved all of your comments. So the last one was full, here's another one

If Chensey is so worried about money then why doesn’t he just buy some orange juice in the shop instead of visiting the pub for one multiple times a day?

Gemma looks different tonight... better.

She does. She looks tanned for a start. Her mother looks familiar too.

I came on here to ask who the mum is, @Honeyroar

I think Gemma has lost weight.

I'm thinking that the woman playing her mother was in that drama about the factory. I'll probably remember the name of it at 2am!

She was a paramedic in Casualty, I think.

Ohh did she play Dixie in Casualty? ( I didn't watch it but I thought she was familiar)

And is the radio journalist the one who plays a Nurse in Holby ? The voice and mannerisms are the same .

was she also Laura in EE?

Do we think Kevin tripping and falling over the kerb was real? Don’t think he is that good an actor/stuntman😂 Looked like it hurt though!

Kevin running was fucking hilarious!

I don’t know what the point of the fall was so I think it might well have been accidental!

Oh FFS!!

Do you think there will ever come a time where the director decides we’ve seen enough of Gemma’s partially chewed lunch and just never tell her to do it again? Wishful thinking?

Kevin's fall was definitely an accident!

Why's Sophie such a wimp when it comes to Paula? She KNOWS something's up!

Who did break in and what's Paula up to? Kev did a proper belly flop!

Some guy in a case Paula's working on. But she worked it out the second time she got broken in to and chose not to report it because of 'the rules' 🙄

Did the Steve/Tim/Unicorn story all take place in one day? I was surprised how quick Tracy & Sally could go out and buy/lay decking/install hot tub/fill & chlorinate/buy champagne and have the neighbour round!

Watching on catch-up and love Kirky's comments to Chesney 'I prefer a classy bird myself but fair play to you being cool with a bit of rough'. Hilarious irony. More of this please!

Quite Keepondreaming! I was rolling my eyes that Tracey and Liz were following them and drove into an empty carpark in the Preston's Petals van without Steve and Tim noticing!

That stuff with Kirk asking the new woman to look at the rash on his arse whilst scratching and waddling was vomit inducing. Really didn’t need the imagery that was conjuring up in my mind.

And how quickly the water heated up to temperature! So unrealistic.

Who precisely does Tracey think she is? Why do people let her talk like that to them? Ridiculous.

But everything's ridiculous in Corrie.
Naked Gemma's mum, yeah no one behaves that way.
Young lad inventing things that exist, yeah cause young lads can't use Google.
How many hot tubs can be bought, delivered and installed in a couple hours?

What a joke.

I reckon Sophie is PG IRL. She’s holding her coat over her stomach and wearing looser tops.

Yes she is. She was on the cover of Hello magazine sporting a big bump!

Ahhh I’m way behind the times then

The whole Robert/Michelle/Vicky shite is so bloody boring.

Agree. Robert cheats on Michelle. That’s nothing new. Between Robert/Michelle/Steve/Tracy it’s like musical beds. They’ve spiced it up a bit by adding a new bed partner in Vicki but really it’s just more of the same- a slow build up to Michael crying and screaming.
