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?

I must be blind, as I didn't see the Summer and Jacob thing coming. Shame members of the opposite sex can't just be friends in Soapland!
Mind you, Jacob appears to have had a total personality transplant since entering the show ...

Summer’s anxious lip biting face is REALLY getting on my nerves.

Just a reminder that Corrie is on tonight at 7pm. My mum just text me. Emmerdale is on first at 6pm.

Thanks @plaide , I didn't know that

I dididn'know, thanks. I could have missed an episode, then would have had no idea what was happening. As per usual 😀

And she's the one who gave him the kimono I think

I've had to look it up. Apparently Ken went home to Deidre and Martha barged off down the canal on her own. I think all this was post-Wendy Crozier (the first time) but I'm not sure.

Can Ken go and live in Wendys, he must be exhausted with the family drama in his house. I think the roof and scaffold story should end.

Is there a woman alive Ken Barlow has not banged? Dear god he has had them all!

Oh here we go, the unwitnessed, non-official, uncopied, dodgy contract scenario again that no-one can seemingly get out of. YAWN.

I'm thinking that Joanna Lumley was one of ken's exes?

Play drama... meh. Can't be arsed. Zone out time.

Summer and tall lad...meh, Can't be arsed. Zone out time.

Bistro buy out... ditto.

Hope being suspended from school... Ditto again.

Same old, same old.

I can't believe Nick would ever consider using money from Harvey, knowing it will all be dodgy money from drug dealing.

Hope is naughty and her parents are lilylivered but I love the Hope actress, best thing about Corrie atm.

Yes she is brilliantly awful. Its on tonight?

9.15pm it’s on tonight but they are all on itv player again this week

I think Hope's a bit more than naughty, she's terrifying.

It's the old nature versus nurture storyline. Good little actress though.

Be interesting to see what they do with Ruby, in that case!

Is the surveyor (or was he a builder) going to be one of Harvey's friends? Harvey knew about Nick wanting to buy the bar.

Seems strange that Harvey phoned Nick to remind him the offer was still on, just after they'd found out about needing £20k to fix the rot.

I can't work out if Summer or Nick is the most stupid, I think it's probably equal.

What a surprise that alcoholic dad went back on the booze, didn't see that coming 🤦

I wonder why Aaron has to put up with two awful situations, if he'd any sense he'd run like hell away from them all.

How will Esther and hubby get their money back, because I reckon they'll want it pretty sharpish.

Massive stretch that 2 18 year olds would give a shit about a nasty, alcoholic dad and irritating that in Corrie land, they are responsible for him.
They should be having the time of their lives at Uni not commiting fraud

Yes drunk dad is a pointless character and should tragically vanish. Baby buyers should be firmly dealt with by Billy. He could divert church funds and go to prison.

I'm bit confused. I thought Summer took the 10k off that couple who want the baby in order to pay for Aaron's dad's rehab, so its already been spent. Yet last episode she said the money was still just sitting in her account.

@thenightsky Esther and partner made a point of saying that they were paying Summer the next instalment, coincidentally just at the same time as Tallboy's father relapses and requires hospital treatment followed by a return to rehab.
