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

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

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.

Where is she supposed to get 20k? Down the back of her sofa?

lordy me.... what's all this about, trying to keep track after at pub

I think Natasha is waving £20k under Leanne's nose because the 'plot' (and I use that term loosely) is going to be that Leanne legs it with Oliver, a bag of clothes, and some infant Calpol, leaving Nick weeping into Natasha's arms.

@PhoebeSnow

Sarah had a baby boy called Billy with Todd before he came out

But would Gary have known that?

@thenightsky

What was Gary making a face for when Todd was mentioned? Do they have history I've forgotten?

Gary was “beaten up” last week by Big Bad Mick and his hired thug because of Todd and Eileen lying.

God alone knows.

I don't want Gail's hair.. right.. but I would like just a quarter of the thickness. (sorry ... shallow)

DH.... who watches this without knowing has just said....
"god this is poor acting"

I was just googling what the Todd and a Gary backstory was and came across this. Some of these stories are ludicrous and have been recycled since.

@PhoebeSnow what happened to Sarah's little boy we never see him now ?!

@lollipoprainbow her baby with Todd? He died at birth. Gail blamed Todd because t was around the same time that he 'came out'.

Yeah, I remember finding that storyline hard and that was wayyyyyyyyyy before I had children of my very own.

Yes, they had a baby Billy together, it was a very sad storyline, and done very well, as I remember.

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander no she has another son doesn't she ?

Sarah has a little boy called Harry ? We never see him now !

We see none of the kids now, presumably because of the virus, but they are hardly mentioned either, especially Harry! Yet we do see Nick's new son, I wonder why?

Or the quads. They are always upstairs.
No idea how Corrie are going to get out of that one.
They will have to, at some point. If I were Gemma, I'd think my time on the soap is running out.

We now have Dylan too. I don't know why we have him.
I like Natasha.

The sink hole stretches incredulity too far, how did the diggers get round the back with no one noticing or hearing in any house or why has the council not come to see or other neighbours been worried

Exactly - the rest of the street would be panicking that whatever caused it would affect their property too. Instead they’ve barely said ‘How’s your sinkhole?’ before going on about whether flowers are cornflowers or blue roses?

We now have Dylan too. I don't know why we have him.

A desperate need to generate storylines for Sean?

Maybe we could have a plot where he and Izzy decide their best chance to have more children is adopt together, but only a corrupt Central American country will give them a baby. Whilst they’re there, civil war breaks out and they’re blown to bits.

Isn't Todd Bethany's dad?

No someone at school who is now dead

I think Bethany’s dad was called Neil someone.

Izzy will now reappear, Gary has forgotten her, I'm sure she needs a bit of help during the covid crisis. Where is her dad?
Neil was Bethanys dad, he died and his mum kidnapped Bethany I think. I wonder does Faye ever think about her baby.

Both Izzy and Gary need to move far, far away. There's a child too isn't there?
