Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Ches and Gem have got no money, Lydia’s boiling Adam’s bunny - does anyone remember when Corrie was funny?

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Bring back Debs Brownlow - the show just isn’t the same without her…

Miss Crawshaw and Dr Gadass should become mates, and the detective with the dodgy hair too. The new Deirdre and Liz.

There are no strong female friendships anymore. The nearest I suppose was Sally & Abi, but Sally had been nowhere to be seen during Abis latest crisis. Used to have Eileen, Liz, Gail, Rita, Yasmin and before, Deirdre, Alma, Rita, Audrey etc.

Yes I found it quite irksome that a strong, competent, middle aged woman should descend into an unprofessional, sobbing mess because of a man. Such a boring cliché.

The actor playing Daniel must be thrilled at being the new Ken.
Did anyone see the dna journey with Maureen Lipman and Rula Lenska?

Funny you should say that, but I was thinking the other night just how 'thrilled' Summer must be, at playing the uncoolest teen in soap history! Nose in a book 24/7 and dresses like a 10 year old

@PrincessScarlett

Perhaps Toyah is plotting revenge on both of them and will disappear with Alfie 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oooh Yes! I hope so, that look at the end! Take Imran down Toyah Hes a shit!

Why do the corrie writers think that a teen girl studying too much is a good/interesting storyline. I mean presumably it's leading to something but still, it's so boring.

I hope Toyah and Imran don't get back together to raise Alfie, because if they do poor Elsie had to leave for nothing!
Total should have kept her mouth shut until Elsie was settled with them and then told him she knew about Alfie.

Oh I've just finished watching last nights! Can't believe she's taken him back!
Like I said in my last post, that means Elsie had to leave for no reason poor thing.

Just finished yesterday’s episode. 100% Toyah is going to do something dodgy with Imran’s kid. It just doesn’t make sense her running back to him and her face looked dodgy as hell at the end.

I agree with a pp. I thought it was implied that the headteacher had a thing for Roy next thing she’s turning up at Daniel’s with a bottle of red😂 what a mess

@mycatisannoying

Ah, quelle surprise. Yet another middle-aged Corrie woman being portrayed as a bit of a joke. Would it really have been such a stretch to see a competent, well-balanced and professional female headteacher?

As for TA girl, why should it matter how much make-up she wears?

It just doesn’t suit her. Or look blended. She looked much prettier before..

I wonder, hope, that Toyah sides with Abi and helps her beat Imran in the custody battle. Although to be fair, I’d probably feel the same as Imran if my baby was going to be brought up by Abi. He’d probably be better off if Imran was his main parent and Abi had him a night or two a week!

As for the headmistress, even a strong woman is allowed to be floored and upset at a break up, to have emotions!

But she’d really not go for Daniel. He’s been a pain in the arse at her school generally!

Daniel really is the new Ken, the scriptwriters have even given him the same storyline, back in the day The headmistress Sue Jeffers was having an emotional meltdown when her husband left her and she poured her heart out to Ken, she then turned up at his house with bottles of wine, eventually Ken succumbed to her charms but they were at least the same generation so it was a believable storyline, unlike Mrs Crawshaw setting her sights on Daniel, I think scriptwriters just enjoy making middle aged women a joke, it’s utterly tiresome.

So annoyed at a lot of the story lines right now. The Mrs Crawshaw thing is ridiculous why can't she be a professional woman without falling to pieces and throwing herself at Daniel and Roy.

The summer thing is just boring as is summer tbh.

So annoyed at everyone slagging off abi and nobody mentioning that imran was actually in a position of power and took advantage of an incredibly vulnerable woman.

As for Sam and Jalena ffs they are kids let them be kids and friends without it having to be crushes and fancying each other

Vent over!! I'm far too invested lol

Was Imran in a position of power? He was very upset and drunk at the time of his one night stand with Abi.

I would class it as a position of power defending one of the people accessed of murdering her son. If not a position of power he was still taking advantage of somebody he knew to be a former drug addict and in a place of turmoil making her extremely vulnerable

I agree, Imran was in a position of power. Toyah did say that to him too.

The sam and jalena thing is cringey, she looks about five years older than him.

@lollipoprainbow I agree and it really annoys me why can't they just be friends they are so young

Also IRL the script that plays Sam is still at primary school I think (or possibly just gone to high school this year). I bet he's mortified!

Craig running into the bedroom after Faye has made me feel extremely nauseous 🤮

Oh and why did Kelly throw a stick of rock onto the coffin?

Craig and Faye should have separate rooms, anything else is inappropriate. I think the stick of rock was from the memory box, so a connection to her dad.
I wonder if Ricks house is near Daniels? And near Audrey's and the archdeacon house?

@Sidisawetlettuce

She had lovely memories of being at Blackpool with her Dad. She talked about it just before.
