*** New Corrie Thread (No Spoilers... or I'll spit on your turkey)***

Christmas Day...

Merry Christmas Corrie Fans...
And those who watch through habit.

Rita's in the floor, Derek's in a bind, Gemma's had babies and is going out her mind.
Nick is grimacing nicely, and Sarah's forgot the plot.
And we're all just gathering around and hoping Dev gets shot.

Check out Classic Coronation Street,it's on in the afternoon on itv2,it is classic but will make you realise what a load of old Cobble's we watch today!X

I would assume Daniel claims UC. He's a single parent to a baby so they wouldn't expect him to look for work.
Or maybe he has an inheritance from his Mum? Is she alive?

Yes Denise is still alive. Maybe he just uses the magic money tree. At least he always has Bertie with him or it's explained who's looking after Bertie. No doubt Bertie will soon be shipped off to the invisible 24 hour childminder before long.

I will now stop saying ' Bertie'.

Bertie is the only small child whose name I know without deep thought. Adam has a new hairdo, who is currently doing their hair? Has Claudia sold her salons? Is Grim Up North open?

Classic Corrie is so much better, better acting too!
What I can't understand is how looking after quads means you just sit on a settee all day long, and the pram, when she takes them out is bigger than her, don't think she can see over the top! Stupid story line!

Hope and Lily look rather alike.

I think I am losing the plot. Who are Lily's parents?

Lily's parents are David and Kylie.

David and Kylie

Criss cross post

Cross, bloody phone

And Joseph, Jack, Liam.....I get them all mixed up.

David, you muppet. How can he be that tired that he crashes the car? It's not like he actually looks after his own kids
Mary has become a caricature. I hate when they do this to middle aged women. We don't know what to do with you, so we'll just turn you into an embarrassment and laughing stock

After seeing that episode I think I am a Mary!

I quite liked the 10000 episode of Corrie with the homage to the past.
Elsie Tanner was also in the first episode to that's probably also why her rings were mentioned as a way of including her. I liked the reference to Hilda that Jenny made when Rita was cleaning the bar.
I've been watching Corrie since before I was born as my Mum watched it whilst pregnant with me. I also watched it whilst pregnant with DD. After DD was born, if she was being fed whilst Corrie was on she'd turn her head away from the bottle when the theme tune came on.
She'd also do the same when Life On Mars was on too as I watched that too whilst expecting her.

My DD was born with Corrie on in the background!

Why is max being farmed out, surely Gail could keep an eye on him? She lives with David and I don't think she has a job.

Itstheprinciple

Was DD conceived in a similar fashion?

Poor Max always looks like he might cry.

DD was born following an episode of Corrie, I had my tea and biscuit while I watched it, then told dh I thought we should head in. Corrie finished at eight, dd arrived at 9.20.

MonkeyToesOfDoom sounds about right! Well, during the ad break

Now Alia has resigned from the bistro, I hope she's going back to Speed Daal and spots what's happening to Yasmeen.

Is it just me who finds Bethany irritating? I don't want to feel this way, but can't help it
Maybe Daniel has a thing for annoying women RIP Sinead!

@thenightsky

Oh, me too. I feel so bad for Yasmeen, but I don't think it'll take long for Alea to cotton on.

Beth is so irritating
