Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Abi’s baby battle ends in tears, Max’s expulsion sparks David’s fears, Summer’s Oxford plot lasts 93 years

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

Your brand spanking new thread to discuss the latest developments in Weatherfield. I for one will be on tenterhooks until Summer’s exam results come through…

Why is Brian scrabbling around working in the newsagents? Surely he must have built up a substantial pension while working as a headteacher.

Didn’t he actually buy The Kabin?

I thought he owned The Kabin. Didn't he buy it from Norris and that's why Rita had a big meltdown a few years back?

I really hope Ken has another child with Wendy, it is ages since a new child appeared.
I don't remember Alex moving into sheltered accommodation, i assumed he lived with Cathy but she had forgotten. Maybe he can move in with Nina and Roy.

Wendy is clearly up to no good.

She's very recognisable. If it had been EastEnders, her reappearance would have come with a duff duff.

It’s ages since any child appeared!

Ken is well into his 80s; he shouldn't be considering another child.

Well, i was meaning an adult child from his liaison withe wendy flaming crozier. Although a baby is possibly not out of the question, not with Ken.
I think its Adams turn or Daniels turn to expand the family with babies. Ken could do with another daughter...

I thought it was Wendy Crozier!

She has very unfortunate initials, just as well her surname has changed.

I honestly can’t stand Gail, there’s something about her that I find painfully annoying and I don’t know what. Her hair bothers me everytime too, looks like a mop

She looks like Michael Fabricant's pet turtle?

I see the comments about Jack’s acting but I really prefers him over Max! Why does Max do those pauses mid sentence just like Craig. He talks with his eyebrows too. Just so irritating😂

I think Max learned about pausing for dramatic effect.
Gail was ok with Our Brian and Mawtin. I don't know why shes a silly sausage now.

They both went to the Petula Gordino School of Tap and Dramatics (Satellite Hub: Weatherfield) where they emphasise the need not to gush out one's words all at once darling.

Jack, bless him, is simply a tree.

I feel like this is meant to be a funny joke that’s simply gone over my head because I’m too young to understand the reference😂🤦‍♀️

Pedropony76 Not just me then, though I'm not too young, too old probably.

Petula Gordino is a character in Dinnerladies played by Julie Walters.
Shes the mother of Brenda Furlong ( Bren) and is played in a very exaggerated manner .
Best show ever!

Ahh right okay, thank you! @StEval
I’ve never watched an episode of Dinnerladies in my life haha. I don’t even know what that is!

Gawd my cultural references are too old on a Corrie thread??!

Have you heard of Elaine Figgis? I could work around that.

Its a show set in Manchester in a factory canteen.
Written by the late great Victoria Wood.
Its funny, sad, tragic and just a brilliant observation of people.
Its often on Gold .

Absolutely no clue who that was!

I did put the name into Google and Catherine Tate came up so I’m guessing it’s one of her characters? I know who Catherine Tate is so that’s something haha.

I’m 23 so I often find myself googling characters who return back to the street because I don’t know who they are🤦‍♀️

I didn't like Julie Walters in Dinner Ladies. I thought she over-acted.

23! There is so much backstory, we will have to educate you 😀

And speaking of Wendy and remembering stuff from years ago, did she say her surname now was Papadopolous or similar? Because the was the name of Emily Nugent's boss when she worked at the laundry in t'early days
