NEW Corrie thread - will Leanne ‘lawyer up’? Will Geoff get what’s coming? Will the Baileys learn to act? *NO SPOILERS PLEASE*

Old thread full, so here we go again.

Going back to the last point on the old thread, I agree that they’re writing well for Tracy now. She’s still got her hard side, but they’ve made her caring in a straight talking way, rather than just a full-on bitch.

Yes that makes more sense than chesney owning it.

Not that Corrie writers are too bothered about things making sense!

So why haven't they put their name down to move? I know they then won't live on t'street, so would have to be written out, but it's a small price to pay, surely?

And why were they ever talking about funding an extension?

The council could knock two houses together. Couldn't they.

@ShrimpSymphony

Why have they made Jenny so ridiculous lately? She used to be a serious character with proper storylines now I just cringe when when she’s onscreen doing ‘Corrie Comedy’ and screeching. I imagine the actress must be cringing too.

That’s what they do with ‘women of a certain age’ look what they did to Gail’s character, she used to be a strong woman with her own business now she the family joke.

You could be right as I remembered that but I thought Dev lived in that house or maybe I'm confused 😊[/quote]
I thought Eileen’s house was Liz and Jim McDonalds old place back in the day?

I was catching up with Eastenders tonight and Bobby has OCD and it reminded me of Craig’s OCD, was he miraculously cured? I remember him flicking off a few light switches several times but then radio silence, never to be mentioned again?

Craig's OCD was pretty bad and it just does not cure itself, it's an ongoing thing that needs managing all the time.
yep, it's forgotten...

Iirc there was a storyline around Chesney taking over the house, he was living there illegally when Les left but it all got sorted out and he became the tenant. Or something.

I think that house in Salford, the price is per tenant? As its five bedroom student house with all bills included and fully furnished, 495 a month would be crazy cheap for the whole thing 😂

Surely if it's a council property they are now overcrowded so will be on the list for larger accommodation?
Also they would get rent covered?

Again Craig's OCD. He wouldn't have passed police medical with that I'm sure.

They would deffo get rent covered and still beable to work in the kebab shop

Just caught up with the last few episodes, like a lot of you I record them & fast forward the tedious bits.

The bits with Todd in were like a Brian Rix farce (for those old enough to remember them!)

Someone goes out the door - Todd comes down stairs
Some comes in the door - Todd goes back up stairs

A week's worth of episodes took me about 30 minutes to watch they were so dire.

I've watched Corrie for years, since it was in black & white, but once the Geoff/Yasmeen story finishes then I won't bother any more.

I liked Brian Rix, plus the sitcom Duty Free where people hid a lot. In adult life I have never hidden in an attic, wardrobe or balcony.

Eileen's house was definitely the McDonald one.

I saw Brian Rix in a farce many tears ago.

I looked on a Corrie fandom site (don't judge me ) and Chesney & Gemma's gaff is rented, as pp said.

Which in itself is a mentalist story because apparently it went from private ownership to council ownership, and then 'a private landlord' bought it. As if.

I think Gemma needs be having a word with Andy Burnham.

Todd's acting repertoire has expanded to include not just gulping, but also eye rolling.

We are in the presence of greatness.

Do we really have to see a grown man in a rainbow unicorn onesie?

And product placement. Him holding up a Costa coffee very obviously.

@FeltCarrot

Do we really have to see a grown man in a rainbow unicorn onesie?

DS1 walked in just at that point. Now he wants a rainbow unicorn onesie

Oh heck... Leanne is off on one, her over acting with being unpleasant is just tooooo much.

I've had an awful thought.....

Will they be keeping the Yasmeen/Geoff storyline until Christmas as it's the best they've got, and need something for then?

Yes she's so rude it's unreal

Todd has got a Peter Crouch mouth.

Yes he has!

This is daft. Influencer comes back about his chopped off hair (don't blame him), Todd is exceedingly annoying, as is Billy, and Gail is being nasty now!
