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…

Oh bollux... I missed last night's episode.

I only caught last night’s episode thanks to the reminder on this thread (thank you!)

I thought Kelly would be wondering if Maria knew too.

Does Maria know? There was some complicated watch story I have forgotten.

Yes she does know but has “made peace” with it

I'm pretty sure Stephen asked for a half of bitter- I remember registering that he only ordered a half and wondering if it was Corrie's way of emphasising to us that he was skint.

Maria will be finished as a councillor when it comes to light her husband is a murderer and she knew all about it.

Just caught up now.

Why do I feel like Griff is going to be into terrorism or something extreme. I also wonder what Kelly may be plotting as revenge against Gary

is griff the same bloke who played shirley vaientines son
his voice reminds me of him

It’s not on tonight, right?

No, but the actress who played Sharon played Shirley Valentine's daughter.

The Kelly storyline is jumping the shark now.

Wouldn't it be great to have a whole episode of normal stuff. Is the sink hole really moving though?

It’s all got rather ludicrous hasn’t it.
I hope lovely Aadi doesn’t get caught in the crossfire of wherever the Kelly thing is going. (Not a spoiler - just speculation - but I’d be very pissed off)
Also, about trust funds for the under 18’s: they normally (in the real world, anyway) have strict rules about when the cash can be withdrawn. It’s usually strictly limited to stuff like education (school fees/university), general advancement (e.g. buying tools/equipment for an apprenticeship etc.). Wanting to spaff it all on a holiday wouldn’t cut it. When they come of age, they can do what they like with it, but the rules are meant to protect the money until the beneficiary is legally old enough to make their own decisions.
I mean, I know it’s ridiculous these days to expect Corrie to be even remotely realistic, but it’s still annoying.

It really irritates me that whenever there is scene in a police station they have sirens in the background. Just to make sure we know it is a police station, and of course Craigie will be around.

Craigie may as well just stand there outside the Weathy Nick going 'nuh nah nuh nah' with a blue light on his head, for all the realism this programme now displays.

I'm disappointed that Kelly has turned to the dark side of hitmen and revenge after she's spent the last few months redeeming herself and becoming quite likeable. And her and Aadi are very sweet together.

However, I can see why she would want to get revenge on Gary. Not only did he kill her dad but he also robbed her of having a relationship with her dying mother with his lies. Looks like Gary's time is up.

I'm sure the hitman, after receiving £5,000, would simply do nothing, keep the money, and not risk committing another serious crime.

I would have thought a gap year would be funded, but not an exotic holiday with lovely boy. Is Kelly doing an apprenticeship, or at school? Does Aadi go to school?

Aadi's in the middle of A levels. Kelly has some kind of apprenticeship thing at the salon.

Aadi is going to be devastated by whatever is going on, it will take him several episodes to recover. Gary has a tough time, being beaten up and avoiding death, i wonder if he will survive.

This made me laugh @SpinCityBlues when I read this I read it as Wealthy Nick as in Gail’s son standing doing the “nuah nauh” noise took me a while to cotton on

Is it realistic that Nina is able to forgive Kelly that easily for her part in Seb’s death?

Nina is being the better person. Being more Roy as she put it.

The real shocker for me tonight was that charity shop woman stealing Hayley's red coat! 😱

I can't stand scenes shot in total darkness; you can't see who is talking, or who is doing what to who. Gary should be in prison for murder.

Hell yes, this is the Hayley's red coat shocker episode. Everything else pales. Maureen Lipman will turn this into The Company Of Wolves.
