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?

First of all I found Esther and husband a bit creepy, but now I'm really sorry for them! How could Summer be so cruel! All to help a horrible abusive man go to rehab.

Isn't the ex wife still living at Stu's ?

I'm not sure anyone can, without dying of not giving a fuck. It's not altogether clear how he came to lose all his money, but he tried to recoup some of it from his ex wife, who was having none of it, and came after him. Jenny's fiance Leo figured out he was dodgy. and was pushed off a balcony into the Underworld yard when he confronted the villain. He was last seen being hauled into a van, presumably dead, by Steven, who nipped into the Rovers to collect Leo's luggage so that everyone would think he's gone off to Canada in a sulk.
Any other scheme he's had, he's made a mess of. He managed to do an equity release on Audrey's house, without Audrey's knowledge, to pay off the ex-wife, so you can be sure that's going tits-up any day.
I can feel myself fading out of consciousness now.

He has also offered to pay for a cruise for Sam an Audrey to see the Northern lights.
He can't afford it.

He is trying to tell Nick it is not a good idea and that Audrey has been drinking again.

He pinched some of Audrey's AD (?) tablets from her bag .

He took her for a drink and bought her a double G&T ....even though she has only asked for a tonic.

He crushed up the tables and put them in her drink.

They he had a change of heart and knocked her drink over.

His bank account showed £3500 .
He paid £3000 for the cruise.

Oh ..and his car got towed away for non payment.

He got a job as takeaway driver.
Fell off his moped in Bolton.
Tim's mum just happen to passing and called ambulance.

His phone got lost but miraculously ended up back with Gail.

She answered a call...
Takeaway boss man gave threatening message ...

Cue Gail's confused worried face !

Tim's mum just happen to passing and called ambulance

Of course she was !! What was she doing in Bolton anyway. It's so farcical.

Stephen was a very successful business man for years, while it's possible that he could have lost it all, are we really to believe that he is so clueless, and so ready to drug his elderly mother, plot to steal her house and savings, and kill someone and hide their body because they are suspicious of him. He could just tell his family he is bankrupt, tell his ex to piss off, (he can't give her money he doesn't have) move in with his mum and accept his fate, stitching knickers in underworld.

People lose all their money/go bankrupt sometimes. Especially high flying business types they always seem to claw their way back up.
I don't know why he wouldn't just tell his family. The debt collectors would disappear and he could start again.
I wondered the other day how this is going to end. Do you think he's going to attempt suicide? I think probably not given we've had the suicide storyline with Audrey. Just it must come to a head somehow.

Stephen has also picked up on the fact that Tim's mum is worth a few bob........

Where did Tims mum get money for a big house? Did she have a successful career, a rich second husband, or inherit?

I think I've been watching a completely different show
Haven't seen any of the above -the last episode on catch up was Hawp getting spoilt for being suspended from school and Nick and Lianne buying the Bistro riddled with rot.
That's it no other episodes available

I think you've missed the last week or so of episodes. I can see up to Wed 30th Nov on ITV X (new version of ITV Hub) which covers what has been described above.

Though you now have to scroll to the bottom to see the new episodes rather than them being at the top which I don't like!

Thanks so much!
They are missing from my normal catch up but found them now!

She’s supposed to live there - that’s why we don’t see her that often.

Even by soap opera standards, Stephen is on a spectacular run of bad luck. He not only completely blobs a job interview and has to become a delivery driver but, by pure coincidence, his first customer is the very man who turned him down for said job. On his second run out, he gets mugged and then crashes his moped. In the meantime, his car gets repossessed and he loses his phone - only for it to end up in the hands of her sister just as he gets a call sacking him for a job he’s not supposed to have.

I’m honestly surprised there wasn’t an earthquake or explosion at the hospital while he was in A&E.

You might be right, who owned that house? Did the daughter (& granddaughter) live with the ex wife?

We've never heard anything about Eliza's father. I expect he'll pop up at some point in the future for a custody battle with Stu.

I thought the ex wife got a prison sentence as well due to perverting the cause of justice or something.

Otherwise Eliza would be with her.

So that is 2 houses up for grabs !

Yeah the wife got a sentence too.

The Stephen phone thing I can clear up. When he got the delivery job he was given a moped and a mobile phone with it. It is that mobile that was stolen. His personal one was home. The rest of the storyline is pure stupid though.

Are the times messed around again this week? My box recorded an hour's worth last night, but I've just sat down to watch it and its just an hour of football!

I read 8pm tomorrow and Thurs, but will double check. Im obviously terrified i might miss something important.

Mine too @thenightsky , it's also showing two episodes that haven't yet shown , so is it on Wednesday Thursday and Friday then ?

The Radio Times isn't much help , giving alternatives to various dates, on which matches might be played. I shall just take it a day at a time until the whole wretched tournament is over. I am not a football fan.

I read its Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

All this weeks are already available on itvHub but if you want to watch "live"
