Corrie Thread - NO SPOILERS please! 2m apart on the cobbles!

[PennyRoyal]

Couldn't see a new thread so started this one. So we're now into a show of two halves, edited together - pre and post lockdown! Who's shouting "before" "after" at each scene?

Wow, didn't know that Betty all the adoptions I've known there has been a clean cut off
The visiting in hospitals, whipping off masks in hospital, resting on her hurt arm, the drugs grab, I agree, I watch it with my mouth hanging open

The scenes with Mary in are getting more and more ridiculous. And this business with Todd and the money could have been thought up by a dim Y6 pupil.

I agree with you all about the quads storyline. When they waltz in to Gemma's house and she's there folding a tea towel with some washing hanging up, no babies, no noise. It's so unbelievable. I really don't know how they're going to progress that storyline further, other than a disaster that wipes out the whole family. Aren't there supposed to be 8 people living in that house? I forget whether or not Bernie lives there. It would be absolute chaos most of the time. I have such an irrational hatred of Gemma that I don't think I'd enjoy any storyline with her in it.

I hated Daniel when he first came into the programme, then I started liking him, now I've gone back to hating him. Get rid of the prostitute and let him move on FFS.

Totally agree - and adding Sean mincing hither and thither made the stakeout scenes x100 worse!

I missed half episode then fast forward to Billy Sean and Mary doing something with money??? Where had that come from? Why?

Am I right in saying the money wasn't money because they thought it was a dodgy scam? It was ridiculous. Vicar stood with him back to the bench/park so Todd wouldn't notice him.... errrrm, you look like the vicar whether you have your back to the park or not!

Mary with sunglasses on. Not noticeable at all. No sirreee

It was THE most pathetic storyline ever. I think the writers are really covid struggling at the moment, because it was just filler. Filmed at some point to slot in to an episode. The only people working hard on Corrie at the moment are sat in the editing suite, slicing and splicing stuff together.

Bring back Geoff and Yasmeen and some meaty stories PLEASE!

nd adding Sean mincing hither and thither made the stakeout scenes x100 worse!

I laughed out loud at that! 🤣😂🤣😂

I have got very tired of Corrie these days, and can take it or leave it - don’t make any effort to watch it any more.
The adoption storyline is odd and feels very unrealistic, why would Abbie be allowed to see The twins, surely that would be massively distressing and confusing for them?
And leaving the drugs around so casually, doesn’t happen in the hospitals I’ve been in. I also think it’s a cheap shot as the reformed Abbie would not have done this ...
I know it’s not real life but even so ....

I didn’t understand the whole stakeout thing.

The money was in Victoria gardens. Sean was in Victoria gardens waiting for Todd so Todd would have seen him straight away anyway, the gardens are tiny. But also, Mary and vicar were 10 feet away across the road from the entrance in broad daylight hanging around the fire escape of some other building. Todd would have spotted them a mile off.

Also- Victoria gardens wasn’t built when Todd left. Was it?

You've summed it up nicely there!

The 'gardens' are about as big as an airing cupboard and they were hanging around a few feet away, with vicar facing the wall and Mary sunglassed up. And Sean mincing around in a very prominent multi coloured jacket.
What could go wrong?
Has this story now finished? Hope so

Sean running last night looked like he was running home after a heavy night with a very well endowed conquest!

I don’t think the prostitute likes Daniel anymore. Even at £100 an hour for doing nowt but wear a scratchy cardi, it’s getting to her now. She obviously prefers a shag and afew drinks along with the money. I don’t blame her.

Well.... Daniel may as well have had a frilly apron on and be dusting the ornaments with a feather duster.
It was deeply weird.
I would've been shouting " F**K your stupid cardigan, I'm not wearing it, nor am I eating your stupid pie!"

Like considering she normally has to shag all sorts of gross men, and she’d still prefer to do that than eat Daniel’s pie and wear Sinead’s cardigan tells you something.

I would have eaten the pie.

Depends if it was homemade. If it was a delicious homemade chicken in white wine with mushrooms and bacon and a flaky pastry, and a big portion...
I might've been able to put on the cardigan and get stuck in!

But if it was a value pie from Asda, no way!!

Does she have to say owt do you think? Like in a Sinead mundane voice.

It would appear that Bertie has been put into the cupboard along with the rest of the Corrie kids.

Bertie! Forgot all about him, yep deffo in the cupboard having fun with the quads and Jack and Liam, they haven't been seen for yonks either

Don't forget Jake, Hope and Ruby. They're in there as well. Fingers crossed that Hope hasn't taken her favourite box of matches with her.

And Harry, Lily and Max...

I might move to coronation Street. Then when my DCs are annoying me I can put them in the cupboard for a few weeks

Thankyou Rousette

Know this is just a soap but the stories are just getting more and more ridiculous.
I predicted on here a while back that the quads would be put into the baby cupboard as quickly as possible.The only sign there is at least one baby in the house is Gemma constantly folding baby clothes and talking in her whiney shouty voice about how badly she is treated.
I have got classic corrie on just now. It is the early seventies with Annie Walker Hilda Stan and Eddie Rita (when she was good) Elsie etc.What has happened since?

Good idea! I'd move to Corrie St so that I'd have enough spare cash to eat and drink in pubs and cafes all the time, be able to go on holiday at the drop of a hat and be within drooling distance of Imran. As a teacher no doubt I xould easily get a job at Bessie St or failing that I could get a job sewing 1 pair of knickers a day and spending rhe rest of the time on a tea break. And if I fell ill, I would just go to the private room in Wethy General and make a miraculous recovery in record time.
