Hi all,

This is @StillCoughingandLaughing. My account got deleted because someone accused me of racism and, even though her accusations were removed, the fact that I fought back was apparently worse than making false allegations in the first place. Hence no more account.

I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed talking Corrie with you all Smile I’m sorry that it’s over. All the best to anyone who sees this before it’s deleted x

Of course Weatherfield General is the leading international Heart Transplant Centre especially for very rare never been heard of heart conditions
Curtis will collapse all of a sudden there will be a life or death rush to Weatherfield General where all of a sudden the perfect heart is found at the same time.He will back out again within two days completely cured drinking in the Rovers and working in the bistro and all will be forgotten until……
Emma discovers she is pregnant after their night of passion. The unborn baby will be found to have the same very rare condition and will either have to surgery before birth or immediately when born.His/her life will hang in the balance for a few days then guess what ? Complete recovery and into the baby cupboard.
Two questions
Did Curtis have this condition before being accepted for medical training?.If so how was accepted for training
How can he find the energy to work in the bistro as well?
There you are Corrie writers

Kelly's annoying mother is the pits. I have to zone out when she's on. So she doesn't want to be a cleaner but is a cleaner... rightio

Roussette · 22/07/2021 12:14

nild you raise extremely valid points! 😂😂

Toyah has got what job factory? Why is she doing sales? When she could get foster baby at no notice?

eggandonion · 22/07/2021 12:30

I thought toyah and eds son who might be Michael were already marketing in underworld? Also Alina.
I can never remember which son is James and which is Michael. And I don't understand underworld, is it all online?

eddiemairswife · 22/07/2021 12:37

Can you make knickers online? Would they be virtual knickers? Would they be like The Emperor's New Clothes?

MotionActivatedDog · 22/07/2021 12:38

@SpindleWhorl

Curtis actually uttered the line that he'd been to see 'a leading cardiologist'.
I was such a clunky line, wasn’t it? Grin you could almost see his embarrassment at having to say it.

Cannot stand her voice. Really grating. Have to mute when she is on.

I have heard of HCM (Curtis’ heart condition) before but only through another tv show.
The character on there led a pretty normal life aa long as he was taking his medication.
Of course, I don’t know how realistic that is

MotionActivatedDog · 22/07/2021 12:44

The factory confuses me. Ages ago nick? Announced that the factory was no longer going to be making knickers but they would be made abroad in a cheaper foreign factory and that the underworld factory would just be a packing/distribution centre. All the workers were up in arms. But now it seems that they are making knickers, or at least Izzy was from home. I don’t think we’ve seen anyone in the factory actually sewing, have we? We see lots of office stuff and lots of chats in the staff rest area but no actual knicker stitching.

Curtis’s dad had HCM and they thought thats What Curtis has too big they found other symptoms of something else they aren’t sure what it is. But they are certain he could drop dead at any moment- or not at all. Grin

Underworld is more like a drop in centre with people coming to work then leaving then reappearing as they see fit e.g. Fizz, Sean. All dressed up to the nines😀

I'm sure it was slightly more believable under Mike Baldwin

eggandonion · 22/07/2021 12:51

Was Fizz going to sew knickers as well as run the antiques place? And if everything is online, why do they meet buyers?
Didn't other people complain about having sew more to make up for Izzy?
It's All Very Complicated.

MotionActivatedDog · 22/07/2021 12:53

It really is! Grin

People who work there are off galavanting in the middle of the day, in the pub, in the shop, Roy’s etc.

Remember back in the day all the machinists used to all troop together over to the rovers on their lunch break. Janice and co.

eddiemairswife · 22/07/2021 12:56

And Izzie's Knickers were sub-standard and weren't going to be used, but she would still be allowed to make them.

eggandonion · 22/07/2021 13:04

They used to send someone to Roy's for custard slices and barm cakes. Is anyone currently working in Roy's, who makes cuppas for Billy and the Bishop in there?

Akire · 22/07/2021 13:06

In classic Corrie they do attempt to make show of actually working and the machines going with an apron. None this dress like you are CEO to sew knickers. They must flog for them £30 pair they can’t make more than one an hour. Why can’t they just pretend to do some bloody work! They seem have more office and sales staff than stuff to sell.

Roussette · 22/07/2021 13:29

There was always the whirr of the machines back in the old days!

eggandonion · 22/07/2021 13:41

Some Mike relation needs to return. Not Adam, I suppose Sarah is Mike's daughter in law?
Does she know that?

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 22/07/2021 14:24

In the days of Ida Clough/Ivy/Vera etc, the factreh was a proper sweatshop and Mike had quite a poky little office. You'd often see Ivy/Vera going home for lunch.

I think outsourcing production was Carla’s plan, but then she had her breakdown and gave all her shares away. When Sarah took over she decided Underworld would design and produce its own ranges, rather than constantly chasing ‘the Rawlings order’ or whichever order was make or break that week. Hence Nina draws a picture of a woman in a corset every few weeks and Carla nods and mumbles whilst staring at it pinned to a board.

Ohhhhh!! Thank you @WomanStanleyWoman! (PS I’m glad you’ve been allowed to and wanted to stay)

This missed a trick who is buying sexy undies and corsets? Most women I know have ditched the bra and morphed into Harvest knickers!

FlowerOfTheValley · 22/07/2021 19:39

I don’t mind Sam but the scene where he was saying he had miscalculated the trajectory in falling off the swing (or something similar) was ridiculous.

SophieB100 · 22/07/2021 21:55

The only characters I like from this week's dire offering so far are David (has some great one liners) and Ty's granny - Maureen Lipman. The rest are just woeful.
I look forward to Classic Corrie more than this.
So her in prison (can't remember her name) is getting flashbacks. So am I, I have a vague recollection that this show was once good.
I only watch it to keep up with you lot on here!
Agree with Emma's new fella and the leading heart specialist - perhaps they have a heart clinic near the liver clinic...back in the day, we didn't need all these specialists - Martin Platt did it all, and managed a pint with Kev in the Rovers every lunch time, night...
