Coronation Street - OMG, will Ray demolish half the street?! Well, obviously not, but let’s wait six months to find out anyway. NO SPOILERS!!!!

New ’un

Lewis? I think he was called Lewis.

I actually thought Carla looked much prettier when her hair was wet and scruffy yesterday.

Yes there was a bit of life to it when it was wavy and fluffy. She should get loads of layers cut in and let the natural wave take over.

Did anyone notice the line about Tracey not wanting to wake up to see the curtains and panic she'd slept with David. Think it was Kevin that said it. Made me smile.

@JiminyLeeCricket

Tracey wouldn't get a mortgage on a house with a sinkhole.

She'd have to be a cash buyer. And I thought she and Steve were skint after the Oliver/Leanne/let's all sell everything and give the money away episode?

If I remember correctly Tracey refused to hand over any money because it was "for Amys future" She and Steve the owl had a huge row and it became clear that Tracey and Nick both realised that any further treatment was futile.

She did mention something in the pub scene last night about all their money having been spent on Oliver’s treatment.

Oh?
I thought she said no?
Oliver was turned down for further treatment though

I thought so too but she definitely said last night that they might struggle with the funds transfer as they sold the house originally to pay for his treatment. Maybe the writers have confused themselves. They’ve certainly confused me.

I think she wouldn't let him sell the florists as that is her part of the empire 😃

I’ve just seen that Maureen
Lipmans rl partner has died 😒

That's sad

I do remember when her DH died Jack Rosenthal. I'm happy that she had some years with her partner.
It was covid related too

That is sad. I’m confused who owns number 1. Ken still own it? That’s why he has say on who comes and goes. They sold their little flat and the taxi office?

I thought he sold it to Steve and Tracy to find the move to Still Waters, but maybe it didn’t go through?

Why can't Michael move to Hull? It's not another country.

What is iit with grown adults still living with their parents in this show?

And then they have a go at their parents when they can't even support themselves

Michael isn’t invited to Hull as it’s her Auntie. Would be different if were a couple but now they need 3 rooms!

But she said her Auntie had a big house?

Isn't it brilliant when these far forgotten relatives suddenly exist

What luck.

Ken informed the family he'd changed his mind about selling No 1 after the retirement home debacle. Tracey wasn't chuffed.

Mention of Evelyn reminded me that I've previously moaned that the show needs an Ena/Phyllis/Blanche tough, no-nonsense and often comical in their bluntness northern woman type. [I've known many of them in my own life and Corra has always written them very well]. Well, I wonder whether Evelyn was meant to fill this 'gap'? If so, much as I like her character, it doesn't work because she has an emotional, vulnerable side. Nothing wrong with that but I'd still like to see such a character.

She should post on here! I’ve just left prison I’m pregnant should I ask probation and council to help rehouse me. Or move in with baby father who’s mum I hate and we fight constantly. Oh and the baby father have sleep On sofa as we are over crowded. I have a feeling the MIL will try and take over and make me feel bad but I feel like I owe the baby a family, even though I pretend a child I stole was his so not hope in hell of us every getting back together.....

I don't mind people living with their parents, when they are single in their twenties or a relationship breaks down. But Tracey and Steve have been married multiple times, is Carla living with Johnny in the Rovers, is Peter there or in Ken's? Eileen has Todd and always has several foster adults. So does Roy. At least Billy isn't living with parents. And parents move in, like Gail and Maureen Lipman.

Oh yes not aganist grown children living with parents.
I mean in soap land they all seem to do it and then constantly have a go at the parents.

If Grace posted on here, everyone would be blaming Michael for the whole situation and urging her to leave him!

I used to live in a Corrie type house, two adults and two small kids were a squeeze.
I don't know how the adult kids, partners and grandchildren fit in. Surely some could live in Rosamund street and pop round.

@thenightsky

Why did Peter suddenly switch from vile hatred of Carla, saying she was bad etc, to suddenly begging her to come back as she was the only one who could help him?

Maybe he listened to what Roy had to say?
