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?

Would someone as smooth as Dev really date someone like Bernie ?!

Ah wow amazing!

The whole thing is just bonkers
Anyone else remember the game where somebody wrote the first line of a story on a piece of paper , folded it over then passed it on for someone to write the next line ?
This is it on screen

I've thought this a lot!

My next line would be Bernie has a pregnancy scare -even though she's nearer 60 , that's a small detail-everyone is worried, especially Gemini because who will help look after the invisible quads ?

@HunBabesSweetieVom that's absolutely spot on - I don't even think they've bothered reading the previous bit, half the time!

I agree. It’s obvious, it’s tedious and it’s patronising.

My final thought as I turned it off (again) was, 'hasn't David got skinny legs?'

I doubt that's the reaction and lingering memory that the writers were going for.

David doesn't look old enough to have a beard.

David’s hair was full on Liberace bouffant last night. I suspect he’s thinning a bit on top and trying to hide it.

i think he’s had a hair transplant they all have them these days

His hair makes his head seem twice as large as his hips. He needs more barms and less bouffant.

Not a good look for a hairdresser.

Consequences!

Maria getting emotional over Daryan was just one preachy scene too many for me

Me too, hence I've not even bothered with Friday's.

The whole radicalisation storyline is just so obvious and contrived. It is literally like watching the case study bit of the online Prevent Duty training course.
It could be a very interesting story but it has been executed poorly.

It's not very nuanced

It's as exciting as the prevent training as well

For a serial that ignored a pandemic, or where people took masks off inside, deciding on issues to showcase is strange.

Jumping on the bandwagon springs to mind in light of recent headlines.

If you're still hanging in there, next weeks schedule is messed up due to football. Looks like Corrie is next on on Wednesday, then Thursday and Sunday.
I'll try and find official ITV notice (rather than rely on my TV scheduler!)

Thanks for the heads up for next Sunday.
I have to manually record my programs I would not have spotted it .

Emmerdale as well .

Just caught up with Friday's Corrie. I'm absolutely sick to death of this whole Spider/Griff/Max storyline now. Its just beyond far fetched. I'm really not sure I can carry on watching and Max's 'acting' is really grating on me

I'm not bothered about missing Corrie now. I'm not watching the world cup either, so I may get a lot of work done this week and next ...

Max is a dreadful actor - the only worse one is that kid... cant think of his name but Kevins son. Actualy where are the Kevin and Abbie people these days?
