Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Audrey’s scared they all want her cash, Maria’s being trolled for her stance on trash, and in the words of Blanche…

Summer
summers boyfriend , who I can’t even remember his name
Canadian man
cull the writers too , seriously it’s way off track now
what are the producers thinking ???

Do we win a bun or something if we guess the point of the scaffolding ‘storyline’? I can’t remember when it started, but I’m pretty sure we hadn’t gone decimal yet.

Sean has been pointless for years. I’d love to know what dirt Antony Cotton has got on the Corrie high-ups! I can’t see any other reason for him to still have a job!

Gemma is too OTT, and hasn’t had a storyline since God knows when. Chesney was a great little actor as a child, but hasn’t evolved into a good adult actor and only
seems to be there out of sentimentality now. Add in the fact that the quads are going to be a major storylining headache in years to come, and they look like they’re on borrowed time.

I read somewhere that they were going to fire Anthony Cotton a few years back and he cried so much and begged them not to fire him that they didn't.

Please can someone explain how having two glucose monitors enables Summer to fake her results? 🤔

I think that she uses the first one to test and if she gets a good result she then tests on the 2nd one straight away and stores the result on that.

If she tests on the first monitor and it's a shit result, she fiddles about with a bit of insulin / food till she gets the result she wants and then tests again on the 2nd monitor and stores that result.

I think.

And the 2nd monitor would be the only one she'd ever show to health professionals and Holy Billy & the Daddios ^

This was a scene in Melanie Blake’s book, ‘Ruthless Women’, that she claims is based on real events. There was a lot of speculation that this was Antony Cotton.

@SpinCityBlues thanks, makes sense!

I hate this whole Stu storyline so much! Yasmeen's acting is annoying, and the writing is so bizarre. In what world would Alya and Zeedan be pressuring their grandmother, recently out of very abusive relationship, to give a homeless alcoholic angry man, who's not long out of prison for murder, who's family don't want to see him, another chance, and not just a chance, but to actively investigate his case and try and get him off the hook? Madness!

This, and it’s really irresponsible to be honest.

What is Yasmine doesn’t want to be with Stu because she doesn’t want to be with Stu? Why is his housing her responsibility?

I hate her acting. It goes right through me. And why does she go through men like hot dinners!?

Yes the Stu storyline is bizzare. I actually hope they discover he was guilty, might shake them all up a bit. And Billy was making such a fuss about Summer going to her appointment, why didn't he go with her? I know he was rushing around with his phone to his ear looking very busy and important, but he was lolling around on the sofa when she got home.

He was reading his important looking book, not just relaxing. I hadn't seen his big bag recently, so that was good to see again.
Perhaps Stu could do Yasmeen in, ages since anyone was murdered. He could accidentally kill a few others too.

Stu could murder Yasmeen! Brilliant! He could chuck her out of that loft window and she could land on Steven! I can picture her now, sliding down the roof.

Yasmeen PUTS the wrong EMPHASIS on the wrong WORDS when SHE speaks

Billy didn't go with Summer to the appointment because she insisted she wanted to go with Aaron. He did look a bit taken aback when she told him.

That is toxic codependency, so many secrets between summer and giant. If Toyah wasn't so busy and Dr Gadass wasn't invisible that could be sorted.

Yasmeen has a very peculiar speech pattern, and the arm waving doesn't help, she will be gnashing her teeth and rolling her eyes next, just because someone says good morning to her. I am beginning to sympathetise a bit with Sherif. (Sp?)

What was the upshot with the sinkhole? Did it ever get sorted?

Yes, that's it!

So many characters need a decent (& not comedy) storyline including:
Beth
Kirk
Sean
Eileen
Sally
Gail
Gemma
Berni
George
Daisy
Daniel (& the disappearing Bertie)

Or they need to be got rid of, I think the producers think we love the 'comedy' but actually 90% of it isn't funny & some of the scenes between Sally & Tim make me absolutely cringe & fast forward!
Such a shame as Sally used to be a great character, so did Gail. We don't see many good friendships any more.
Surely they could do a bit more with Kirk or Beth?
Gemma & the quads need to be rehoused away from the street. The whole quads storyline was a really bad idea.
I'm another who prefers Classic Coro these days.

I know we keep harking back to this, but what in the name of full moon lunancy were the writers thinking of writing in quadruplets?

I honestly think it was one of the worst ideas in Corrie history. It’s as if they were all sitting in the writers’ room and someone had said ‘OMG imagine Gemma with FOUR babies!!’, and they’d all got carried away and egged each other on about the initial comedy potential. You can almost hear someone saying ‘Wait, are we actually going to do it?’…

Somehow, nobody put the brakes on and said ‘No, we can’t - what the hell will we do with four toddlers in a couple of years? What storylines can we give Gemma and Chesney afterwards?’ It’s unbelievably bad planning.

They haven’t really had any funny storylines relating to the quads anyway. Unless PND and a deaf child are funny. Which they aren’t.

Has Gemma given up the vlog thing, and lost her posh friend? Is Sarah not trying for a baby any more, has she stopped the fertility tracking? Where are all the pets? Eccles used to go for walks. Does anyone go to Costa any more?
