Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS!! Brian and Mary are doing am dram, Bernie’s caught up in a lookalike scam and questions re: Leo leave Stephen in a jam

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

Any chance that storm in Yorkshire could cross the Pennines and get rid of some of the dead wood in Weatherfield?

Checking in!

Thank you so much, hoping for an excellent run up to Christmas. 😕

Check in for me too.

Ooo. Shiney new thread.

Beautiful thread title.

Another triumph, @WomanStanleyWoman2 .

Fucking Stephen, though. The wonder isn't so much how often he managed to be lurking at the critical moments as that he managed to do so without earning himself a punch in the face.

Fantastic new title, thanks

The storylines and actors have gone dire again. I'm on another bored of it cycle.

How did Stu (ex homeless etc) get rehabilitated so fast and whats-her-face who runs Speed Daal get tucked up with another loser ?

All the story lines are a shambles.

Summer and her boyfriend look like brother and sister. It's like Faye and Seb looked like siblings. So vvvv weird how the people who cast people don't see it!

I know Leo was meant to be younger than Jenny, but if his mother is only just turning 50, that must make him about 30 at the oldest? Jenny must be his mother's age.

Thanks for the new thread @WomanStanleyWoman2

I agree with what has been said about Stephen- it's ridiculous how he is always hanging around and butting in with Jenny and Leo's dad. He's challenging Billy and Summer in the contest for my least favourite Corrie character.

Great title!
Corrie has done surrogate mothers before. Stephen is the most unconvincing villain ever. Such an intelligent move to dispose of Leo's phone a few yards from where he killed him!

I was fed up with Stephen last night. He is like a pantomime villain. I kept wanting to shout "He's behind you!" everytime he appeared at 'just' the right moment.

Esther is horrible , id push her into the sinkhole if it reopens. The Aggie family are not the most annoying at present.

Daisy, when talking to Adam, referred to Daniel as “your nephew”. It’s the other way round surely? Daniel is Ken’s son and Adam is Ken’s grandson making Adam Daniels nephew!!

And where the hell do you buy something as truly awful as Summers sweater dress!

Eileen is very fresh faced these days isn’t she? She looks lovely, whatever tweaks she’s had done

It's all gone ridiculous again. I want to give it up but not sure whether to stick it out to see smug Stephen get caught: summer story is so boring please don't let her be a surrogate

Totally agree with you. She almost looks better than Classic Corrie. No reason why she shouldn't but they are making a big deal about her 40th.

Aren't there rumours that she's off into the jungle this year?

That’s what I was thinking?? So confusing.

I have no clue why these people don’t just use common sense and realise there must be a reason why Stephen keeps involving himself unnecessarily

So glad some else mentioned the "nephew" thing.
I had to rewind to double check I heard it right .

Unless Daniel is younger than Adam and so it is a in family joke ?

Daniel is younger than Adam (off the top of my head I think Adam was born in about 1989 and Daniel in 1995, though that may be way off!), but rather than a family in joke it seems more likely that Corrie messed up and no one noticed. I remember years ago Janice Battersby referred to Leanne as "the closest thing to a daughter I've got", forgetting about her own daughter Toyah, and of course Kevin saying he can't imagine how awful it must be to lose a child (though apparently the actor raised this and was told to stick to the script as no one would remember Jake ).

Todd will soon remember Sarah's baby, unless he has already and i was too glazed over to notice.
I liked Natasha, she should have lived, and run the salon which Audrey has forgotten.

Jenny was at school with Leo's dad!!

I absolutely cannot stand Stephen. The constant lurking and listening into conversations, the bizarre whispering and exaggerated voice and that bloody awful tan jacket he wears. Such an awful character. I'm hoping he will be gone soon but in true Corrie style he's probably got to commit another 2 or 3 murders yet before he gets uncovered and then he will either kill himself or get arrested. They are going to drag this storyline out for a while yet unfortunately!
