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

Robert should have just told Michelle.
That would have led to plenty of Ross style screaming, "We were in a break!" But it's better than this pile of tripe.
Robert was technically single when he was with WotserFace, so he's done nothing wrong.

I will say tho, WotserFace looks good lol done up.

She looked amazing!!! I was hoping it would all come out at the event and Michelle would see her looking all glam despite being pregnant and exhausted and just go into a jealous rage. agree Roberts an idiot. He should have Been honest at the start.

As far as I can remember, Robert wanted a baby of his own but Michelle wasn't keen so he found Vicky who miraculously conceived straightaway. I'm not sure what arrangement they came to where the sex was concerned. Did he pay her or did she let him do it out of the goodness of her heart?

I didn’t think the baby with Vicky was planned? I remember him finding out from Tyler and he was shocked. (As if sex doesn’t lead to babies )

@eddiemairswife I think Robert and Vicky were actually in a relationship after Michelle finished with him, and the baby wasn't planned.

As I recall, Michelle told Robert it was over. He went on a bender and got drunk, bones Carla for splitting them up and vanished for a while.
When he came back he was making suspicious phone calls to a woman.
Which to me says He had a proper relationship with Vicky, not a behind Michelle's back one, he was free and single after Michelle chucked him.

It would obviously upset Michelle to know the truth, but she chucked him at the end of the day, he hasn't done anything wrong.as far as I can see.

The only thing he's done wrong is not coming clean and being honest with Michelle when they got back together - he didn't know about the baby at that point.

So many issues are caused by lack of openess! Drives me mad

Why did Alya think that Michelle should have been getting that job for her. "You should have told him I'm X, Y and Z".
He didn't want to give you a job love, and he has worked with you so knows what you are like. Michelle is clearly better or more suited as to what he is looking for.
Why should she talk herself out of a job that was never going to Alya's anyway.

What is going to happen to the bistro while Robert is "working with young offenders" / living a double life.

That bloke giving Michelle a job... I'm guessing they'll be shagging by end of August.

Monkey That's exactly what I said to DH.

The scenes at the hotel 'do' were just plain farce. Not even funny. How on earth is Robert going to live this double life?

Can't think of a single storyline I'm interested in at the moment (although I'm glad Kevin has given Abi her job back at the garage. Just hope that doesn't lead to her & Kevin getting on under the bonnet)

@keepondreaming maybe Abi and Kev will, now that Abi's got her hair cut like Sally's!

Robert is so slimy - and Vicky is the shittest actress ever!

Vicky is the shittest actress ever!

I respectfully disagree... For I can remember Kate's ex partner, Caz... Lol

@MonkeyToesOfDoom ok I take it back and completely agree with you. The fake crying when she was soooo sorry

Why did Alya think that Michelle should have been getting that job for her. "You should have told him I'm X, Y and Z".

That was so funny. “Why didn’t you tell him about me?” Err, because I was offered the job, for me and I want it. Why on earth would Michelle suggest someone else for the job? “Oh yes that job sounds perfect for me sir but could you give it to this other woman who has nowhere near the the level of experience I have?” “Why?” “umm, because I think she would like it”

Grow up aliya. You aren’t 5.

Alya needs to be got rid of. Where is the murderous Gary when we need him?

Isn't Alya co owner of Speed Dahl, she isn't even looking for a job? And presumably once Michelle takes the job she can throw lots of catering gigs her way, it's win win all round really.

That’s what I thought too deadringer.

In Michelle’s shoes I would have sold it to Alya with that angle. “Guess what, ive secured us an ongoing relationship with big business man!”

They were referring to the man who offered Michelle the job as owner of a chain of 8 hotels, weren't they? It would be better business sense for one of the hotels to be catering the events that Speed Dahl were called in to do, surely?

I would have thought that anyone's reaction to alya tantrum would be along the lines of " she's completely batshit ( and entitled)" but not Ryan, his response is " how could you, mother". Wtaf

I can't cope with Seb's face anymore. He looks like he is smelling a nasty fart all the time. I'm not normally violent but I want to smack him.

I feel the same about Aaliyah don't know what it is about her

I want to punch Kate.

I'd like to:
Give Eileen a good shake
Smack Seb
Tell Kate to bugger off travelling
Let Michelle know what a twat Robert is
Send Claudia off to the nearest hotel
Give Evelyn more air time
Have my car serviced by Abi
Share a bottle or two with Jenny!
