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?

Simon? A salesman? Really?

Wasn’t Simon supposed to be joining the navy when he left school? That went nowhere.

Agree that the whole saga with Jacob was over ages ago and now Leanne is back to glaring and stomping about .
I really like Jacob, he's growing on me .
So that's Sam's inheritance going down the pan along with the Bistro.

Tbh at least Billy/Aaron are trying to protect Summer from the Evil Baby Snatchers.
I knew Mike would be offering his turkey baster.
It's Coercive with a bit of bribery thrown in.
Daniel 😱it's all about him, poor Daisy.

Nah, it won't be Sam's inheritance - don't think Nick has touched that. He's going to be in the hands of Harvey and his lot isn't he? I reckon the bistro will turn into a front for Harvey nefarious business and Nick will be a mere puppet!

Of course Leanne won't know and we'll be treated to many scenes of side looks, despair and lying by Nick until he confesses.

(Just my ramblings!)

Oh please not money laundering. I don’t think endless scenes of Nick skulking round in the back doing ‘crime’ is going to be very exciting.

I'm confused!
Leanne said " we will have to use Sam's inheritance money again"

I do agree the money laundering sounds like a plot line going forward though.
Otherwise why involve Harvey -the prison stuff, money etc
The Bistro is like flogging a dead horse.

That’s where Leanne thinks the first lot of money came from. Whereas we know Nick got it from Jambo off Hollyoaks.

Where's summer gone? I missed it

Aaah! OK thank you.
I do zone out quite a bit these days!

I think Jacob and Tall Aaron should team up and be mates. I don't like the look of Jacob's dad.

I love the Jacob actor and think he’s doing a brilliant job and the character has grown on me as for tall boy his acting is so cringe and he over does his lines in that pained voice

When I was the same age as Amy/Jacob/Summer/Tallboy, I was stumbling out of pubs and clubs with more evenings drink than sober. My flat mates and I worked and studied hard but boy, we played hard! We also played loud music and laughed, a lot. We had such fun!!! I haven't seen them do any of those things - or is life different these days?

Who was it that Jacob didn't want to go for a pint with yesterday? Someone from his dealing days, or family he doesn't much want to know? Not looking for spoilers, obviously, but a reminder if it's someone I ought to have recognised.

I thought it was his dad?

I assumed estranged dad too.

What was with the look that Leanne gave Simon??

@Igglepiggleslittletoe a look of disgust for hanging out with Jacob who used to work for Harvey and got Simon into A LOT of trouble back in the day.

So it's kind of both. Well, well. I see more sourface from Leanne looming.

Will Sharon come back, and her trusty taser?

Oh now things are hotting up with the Jacob issue.

Jacob is a good character! His dad dodgy bet it’s money laundering with the bistro! Tall boy aka Summer’s bloke is dreadful

We haven't done money laundering since Zidane, have we. Is Billy going to find Summer and beat up Esther and Mike ?

Not sure Billy could beat up an egg.

Yep, Jacob really shows up how weak an actor Aaron is by comparison.

Would anyone mind giving a brief catch-up of the last month or so? I’ve been so busy with work, Christmas and having a baby that I’ve missed loads but really need to get back on track for Christmas. Last I remember was Darian running away from the thugs and Adam, Dee Dee and Alya agreeing to all work together. TIA!
