Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Michael could get back with Grace, Izzy can’t keep up the pace, and will Craig take a stand on race?

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Billy puts his trust in God
But shouldn’t trust that sneaky Todd
He framed poor Paul - the rotten sod!

Two Corrie rhymes for the price of one

Wasn't Craig supposed to be artistic? Didn't he paint a mural of Maddy after she died? He'd have done a better job than Nina although I suppose he doesn't have a minute to spare these days in his role as Supercop.

I have to say... the mural of Seb was grotesque! More like a cartoon

Just catching up now
Billy threatening to close the soup kitchen because Todd has to do his CS there
An Archdeacon is prepared to let the homeless starve because his ex lover has to help?
What fuckery is this writing? Seriously?
I'm embarrassed for them and I've got another 45 minutes to go
It's so bad it's funny, they are taking the piss surely???????

And Todd huffing and puffing about carrying one small black bag to put in the bin. Grow a spine!

@Roussette... and Billy working in the soup kitchen, WORKING IN THE SOUP KITCHEN!!!!!!! saying 'Soup ?' to a person queuing
No Billy mate, they want the fillet steak you twat

The pop up soup kitchen comes in handy from time to time. Didn't Sean use it when he was homeless? And I'm sure it was how psycho Jade got back onto the street.

I did 😂 at that scene! How stupid.

Like they would have a soup kitchen in the middle of a totally residential area

More realistic for billy would be him forgiving Todd on a personal level but not having him back as a partner. And more powerful.

Billy being a vicar / archdeacon adds nothing to the plot: he could be a factory worker or a teacher or a nurse. I don’t really understand why they decided to have a vicar on the street given no one is particularly religious!

@MotionActivatedDog

Billy is the least likely candidate for archdeacon or even vicar ever!! He has no self awareness at all, how could he be any use to his flock?

Please writers do some research. Billy really showed himself up in front of his flock. Some professional

Wouldn't he keep his private life well private to avoid scandal

A gazebo from Argos and a trestle table on Rosamund street does not a soup kitchen make
By the bye how do they keep the soup hot ?

So agree. When has anyone ever mentioned the word church? They don't get married in them, or go to funerals in church... I think Billy is pretty redundant!

Emily Bishop was the last known member of a church congregation, wasn't she? I don't think even Billy bothers. He goes and sits in the pub instead, gurning away.

Sophie was religious too for a bit but I’m not sure there was a church involved - there was a “pasta” though.

I don't know why I'm finding everything funny this morning on this thread, but I am

Yes to Emily Bishop she was a regular churchgoer.

I think they need a cult on the street, they haven't done cults on Corrie or was Glammy one?!

We've just had a cult on Classic Corrie

Oooooh, remind me! I forget episodes straight after I watch them!

Nirab

I've just googled 'Nirab' and yes it was a cult on Corrie (don't remember it at all) and that Nirab is an anagram of Brian which is why they named it that
😂

Yes poor Zoe went off to shag Nirab. Or Ben. Or whatever he called himself.

I had to look it up! The cult brainwashed Zoe Tatterhall / Joanne Froggat. Must have been when I didn't watch it much, because it passed me by.

They used to have weddings in the church pre-Billy. They were always very dramatic, and sometimes abandoned mid-vows.

Religious cult stories were everywhere in soap at the time, but I remember thinking that one was quite unique because Zoe ended up staying with the cult instead of being dramatically rescued or caught up in a fire or explosion.
