Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Extremists have got inside Max’s head; Fiz and Tyrone have troubles in bed; one whack with a hole punch and BAM! - Teddy’s dead

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

Tales of an average Northern working class street that’s home to three widows of serial killers, including one whose brother is also a serial killer.

Missing watches are very important in corrie, there was a complicated thing about a watch belonging to kellys dad and bernie, which was dull. Nobody has a fitbit or talks about their steps.

I’m thinking…. It belongs to rufus who Peter chases down. Rufus tells Peter the whole sorry tale about the hotel with Stephan and that Stephen had stolen his drugs…. Peter puts two and two together (eventually) and realises that Stephan is drugging Carla , calls the police ( our Craigy) and story over ….

My thoughts exactly. However, I would expect Peter to go mad and deck Steven by throwing a punch or two though, before he calls our Craigy!

Everytime Gemma moans about money, I remember that she turned down Freshcos cash because their advertizing campaign wasn't 'real'.

"the arrest of Councillor Nazi"

They did gloss over that one quickly, a local councillor funding a private army of thugs to seize control of Weatherfield council obviously being no big deal. What was his overall plan? A Trump style coup at town hall?

She's a halfwit, with all the maturity of a 15 year old.

It's interesting that they have made Paul more "normal" but Gemma is getting worse and worse!

Even their accents are diverging.

How did Peter get Rufus's watch though? Have I missed an episode?

Peter was cleaning his cab and found it in the car.
How he thinks he knows it's Rufus's watch though...I don't know !

I'd already forgotten who Rufus was. I had to google.

Found ancient Corrie from early 80s - infinitely better than the rubbish they are churning out nowadays. Bring back Hilda and Stan!

Where are you watching that? Classic Corrie on ITV3 is now up to 2002 so not much longer to go before it gets really bad!

I don't think Gemma was ever really stupid. They had the opportunity to give her twins, one with hear loss, educate herself in that issue, go back to education, work her way into some sort of welfare role. Instead they gave her quads...

Would Sergeant Michelle From Doctors really have told Daisy the details of a formal reprimand for another officer?

Hope they're not building up to a story where Paul has Parkinson's or motor neurone disease, there are enough depressing storylines at the moment.

Thank you re: the watch

Yes that's normally PC Craigy's job. 'I shouldn't really be telling you this, but ... '

Another very unrealistic aspect of this sad soap, Fizz and Tyrone's house. They are both in full time jobs yet for years if not decades that living room and excuse for a kitchen have not had a lick of paint or any modernising. Same with Ken and Tracy's gaff.

Laurence Lewellynwhatsisname and Linda Barker need to go and give those rooms a makeover. Nick / Leanne and Gary/Maria have modern flats so why are the others living in shoddy drab homes?

Fizz and Tyrone should have had a domestic makeover at the time of the wedding. And nana should go and live above a shop. At least Sally spens a lot of time on her lovely home.

Ken and Tracey's is beyond awful

Wear do they all live in terms of bedrooms now 3 more people love there.

Steve is invisible

Mines not had any work (would love a makeover!) for over 20 years so not too unbelievable

We're not much into updating our house either, but it doesn't look as if it would be a natural backdrop for Albert Tatlock.

Yes the wallpaper is very old fashioned as is the couch in there

Agree about Fiz and Tyrone's

If ken had it in the front room it would make sense. Are Steve and Tracey there, plus Daniel, Daisy and Bertie?

I think Tyrone also owns that other flat and Fizz owned half of the big house with Phil but they were all ecstatic to move back to the terrace and live with Ty, his nan and her manky dog
