New ’un.

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

Was Pauline the older lady he was helping, who Alya found him having a meal with in the Bistro?

I think the pass belonged to someone who still worked at hospital radio (Pauline?), but if it was a former colleague it's unlikely she would hand it over just like that...

Sometimes the amount of disbelief we are expected to suspend gets a bit overwhelming!

He wouldn't have managed it in any of the psych wards I worked on

Me neither. That scene made me very angry.

I'm hugely confused father dougal voice is Elaine supposed to be Tess who is Tim's mum?!?

I think the Geoff storyline is getting silly.

@Pebbledashery Yes, I think Tess changed her name and moved away as she was so terrified of Geoff.

It is. It was being done very well but they’re ruining it now.

Elaine is Tim’s biological mother. She was originally called Phillipa when married to Geoff. When she escaped she changed her name so he couldn’t find her. Geoff told everyone she died. Geoff then married her best friend Tess (although Im not sure how as he was legally still married to Phillipa and she wasn’t officially dead) and they raised Tim as if she was his mother. Tim thought she was. I’m not sure what became of Tess. I think she is supposed to be dead too.

Okay I took a risk and googled. This is safe to view and no spoilers.

Thank you for explaining.
God Geoff in the witness box made me want to heave.

He’s so vile. Very well acted.

Yes and Yasmeen flinching as if he was hitting her at the lies and stuff he was saying about her.

You know if I was Yasmeen I would've just killed him. You can quite clearly see what a decent lady she is to have even called the police on herself.

I think it's totally irresponsible to imply that anyone can walk in to a ward like that
Yes, I know it's for the drama but there are people who are in danger and need help. It's not reassuring for them
They've covered it well up until now

Where has Alya gone? When court case is on?

I did wonder last night where she was. It was just Ryan in court and speaking to Imran in the flat after. Alya was in the episodes on Monday night.

Maybe she wasn't allowed in.. Rule of 6 and all.

Is she going to be a witness? Would she be allowed to be in the public gallery if she is?

She’d be allowed in her own flat though!

I have to admit - Corrie has been so incredulous of late!! honestly. What are they thinking. Walking into a psychiatric ward just like that!! ridiculous.

I've been in psychiatric wards many times in different hospitals, no one can just walk in like that, more to keep the patients in than people out but it just can't happen like that. I've also never had hospital radio in them either.

I would have thought it would literally be like fort knox and more than one or two doors you'd have to get through before getting to patients! also - did nobody question the suspicious and threatening looking geriatric man with a black eye?!

Surely a pass for someone who worked on the hospital radio wouldn’t open doors to a psych ward? Or do all hospital passes open all doors in the hospital?

She’d be allowed in her own flat though!

Ah, I hadn’t thought that she literally wasn’t in the episode!

No the ID card can only open doors in the departments you need access to for your job.
