New ’un.

Whose turn on the storyline merry-go-round will it be this week?

She was the daughter of Zoe Tattersall (played by Joanne Frogatt of Downton Abbey fame) who was briefly Ashley Peacock’s girlfriend. Zoe originally gave Shannon up to the Mallets for adoption, but later snatched her back.

Oh yes I remember that! Did the mallets go on to have twins? I loved the mallets.

Who were the Mallets? I remember Zoe but not those guys.

Gary ‘n’ Jude. Judy thought she couldn’t have a baby because of a botched abortion, so they adopted Zoe’s baby and passed her off as an ‘indiscretion’ of Gary’s. Judy later had a miracle pregnancy and had twins - before collapsing and dying nine months later after a blood clot. Gary married someone else and moved to Blackpool. Judy became Megan in Emmerdale.

Poor Judy. I remember when she realised she was pregnant.
Re. Shannon is that not the last time a baby/toddler died on the street ? It’s fairly heavy so a rare business so quite raw luck Leanne being involved both times

Obviously Steve is the sex god of Corrie but Peter is a bit of alright too. Adam and Imran do nothing for me.

I’ve always liked Peter........

@eggandonion that’s a good point re nobody getting Covid. They could’ve done that as a storyline.

I think tonight is going to be hard viewing. I cry at adverts

This is going to be so sad

Who are the young couple with Jenny??

I have had to switch it off I can't cope with this.

Her stepdaughter from her ex

I can’t believe they are having an episode where a family have to watch their baby die mixed with this absolute rot with Jenny and dodgy daisy, Tim and Alya. Truly awful.

Can they really not just let our attention stay with Leanne and Steve for this one night?

That's what i thought @Smallsteps88
I wonder if they thought it would be less upsetting, but its just weird.

I feel Oliver's death is now completely rushed

The stepdaughter looks familiar

They’ve really done this very badly IMO

They obviously read us saying not to drag it out til Christmas and rushed it through instead.

The stepdaughter reminded me of Candice at first

Stepdaughter is a bad actress. Her husband looks like a Conor Macgregor wannabe who’s gone overboard on the just for men.

They haven’t had Emma Amy night Simon say goodbye. I hope they don’t rush it tonight.

Who’s are the new people in the pub? Thought friends of Jenny?

I think it might be too heavy having a whole episode of Leanne/Oliver etc. Although the Jenny plot line is too much the other way. Why have they turned Jenny into a fool?

I wonder if Johnny and Jenny actors knew their scenes would be in the same episode as Oliver dying. I can’t imagine they would be happy seeing how it has been put together.

I'm hating the Johnny/Jenny scenes. So forced. He wouldn't be so vile to her, really.
