Coronation Street - Yasmeen’s free and Year 61 starts here! NO SPOILERS - and don’t mention Izzy!

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

In case she comes back!

Bright and shiny new thread to mark Corrie’s next decade

Finding it increasingly weird the amount of time Todd, Billy and Paul are spending together. Why would any of them want that?

An ex and a new partner hanging out together daily, and Summer isn't even Todd's daughter or adopted daughter so what's the obsession with them all hanging out together.

Finding it really weird. Maybe they'll become a throuple.

Yes and Billy and Paul are being really thick about Todd a d his motives.

Faye just go to the police! Why do they always make it oh so complicated

Also, I know her abuser just died but Elaine has made a reeeaaally speedy recovery. Wasn't she in a mental hospital a few weeks ago?

I saw Sue Nicholls once as she walking over the hospital car park to see her Dad, who died a couple of days later. I was visiting my Dad in the same hospital. As I was walking towards her, I did a double take, and she gave me a wry smile. Felt sad for her that at such a sad time, she could never really switch off.

I agree about Elaine. She has indeed made an incredible recovery. Yasmeen was abused for a year or two and is suffering, yet Elaine has bounced back to the extent that she’s getting as annoying as Nick’s son.

Did anyone watch the Wallace and Gromit film, A Close Shave? She reminds me of the character Wallace fancies, who owned the wool shop!

Why is it that all the houses on Corrie have such awful decor and everything bloody clashes! Every surface is always cluttered and the Christmas deckies always look like they've been thrown up! Grim 😖😖

I think Sally and a Yasmeen have nice houses and the Victoria Court flats are quite nice, I liked Michelle’s and Robert’s flat when they were in it. I’m watching classic Corrie at the moment and it makes me laugh that the Platt house still has the same picture on the wall 25 years later, surely they are bored of it now!

Can anyone really be as dim as Maria. Nobody deserves her. Not even Gary.

Maria never used to be this dim, she used to have a bit of ooomph about her. And saying to Faye 'don't worry, Gary knows how to get out of this' means she is acting like a gangsters moll.
He's just a heavy breathing dodgy haircut bloke, who has an overcoat cemented to him to look menacing

From memory, Wendolene Ramsbottom?

Yep - I was going to say that.

Wendolene Ramsbottom.

(And of course, her name is nearly Windowlene, and Wallace had a window-cleaning business . . .

If it wasn't for her aversion to cheese - even Wensleydale, Grommit could have had a mother.)

That picture of the Platts' house! And they still have the same throw on the settee!

But most of the houses are triple the size they used to be. They just keep making them bigger and bigger.

If you're not moving house you probably wouldn't change pictures around, I don't

Our local Burger King had the Platt picture, and a similar set of similar themed pictures. It was redecorated about ten years ago, and new pictures arrived. I can't remember the last time I was in BK.

I think it would be brilliant if the characters reministed a bit at the moment. Gail could get a letter from Suzi or Ken get a phone call from his long lost, never spoken about son Lawrence, that would be a shock to his family
Betty could start haunting the Rovers
They could have loads of fun with it rather than spewing out this rubbish

Gary is going to get jailed for something he didn’t do , rather than the murder he did. It reminds me of an old tv series Malice Aforethought with Hywell Bennett which was very clever unlike this.

Why do people take their masks off the minute they are at a persons hospital bed ?? So not true to life.

I remember watching that as a child. We would re enact the scene where the jydge sentences him to death and my brother would put a hankie on his head.

I’m finding Elaine very irritating. She’s served her purpose, she can go back to her own house now.

Yes that’s right, it was Wendoelene. With Preston the evil robot dog. Love those films.

I wis it was more like Man about the House

Disappointed to learn the Platt Pink Leopard Throw has been there so long. I assumed it was something Kylie had brought in to jazz the place up a bit x

@PoloNeckKnickers

Steve seems very chirpy for someone whose son just died.

Exactly what I thought

How does Elaine support herself financially, this is never mentioned or is she meant to be retired
