Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Sam still can’t speak, Curtis’s heart isn’t really weak, and Speed Daal’s up sh*t creek

[WomanStanleyWoman]

More Corrie ‘excitement’…

@MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry

really? For a whole funeral?

Who knows, but I know the mark up is massive.

It was just a silly thing in a TV show, it's not a documentary!

Ken and his hand bells made me laugh! The most unrealistic part was Abi spending Christmas Day with the twins

It’s definitely not a documentary!

That was quite weird, out of the blue she had gifts for them. Their parents (they have been adopted, haven't they) just left them with her. Usually social services are involved in any contact as it's confusing. And where was Jack?

I thought the twins lived in Australia? So weird.

Roy coming back made me cry a little.

Yes where was Jack ? She made a bit thing about Christmas and then he was missing! Is Roy back for good ? If thought the actor said he wasn't coming back.

I mean, it was nice Roy came back, but he's only been gone about two weeks, not a decade!

I loved it. 'Aqua man!'...it was really ice to watch on Christmas day...

But...and a big but. Wtf was the twins doing having Christmas Dinner with Abby? Do the writers think we are thick? I can't get my head around it!!!

*nice

Hope the twins aren't going to become a regular fixture, there are enough kids appearing sporadically whose names I can never remember!

It was good to see normal stuff so no murders, shootings, affairs, divorces etc etc.

Although buying someone a coffin for Christmas isn't really normal stuff......

The sing song at the end was really lovely. Phil and Tyrone were also very funny. More of that please and less murder/betrayal/funeral parlour shite.

Don't envy Fiz, what a choice, Dumb or Dumber.

More of that please

Please no!! That was so painful. And Phil has started out so well!

I was thinking last night how many of the Corrie kids/young adults have lost a parent….Nina (both) Dev’s twins, Joseph, Max (both) Lily, Harry, Kelly, Bethany (didn’t Neil die?) , Summer….seems only the quads and Amy have both parents alive!

Oh and Jack, Ruby and Hope

And sam.

Sam, Jake's surrogate mother is dead.

And Simon. And Bertie!

Oh, and Liam!

Does Emma count? The man she believed to be her father died when she was first in it.

Also the number of parents who forget about their kids for months. Gary never mentions his offspring, poor Harry seems to live in a 24 hour nursery, Faye languishing in prison for months until she was randomly remembered, rosie and Sophie, Bethany....Sean has forgotten his child, luckily the writers have too.

We could do another list of the adults who have both parents alive - an equally short list!

David and Steve. That’s all I can think of!
