Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Ryan’s and Daisy’s acid hell, Paul seems seriously unwell, and is Sarah under Damon’s spell?

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

New and shiny, all for you 🙂

And Tracy lets her flat to Billy who could have lived in a nice vicarage but he decided against it.

Cathy was another who had a perfectly good house off set but it was too full of stuff to live in.

This house convo is so ridiculous it really makes me laugh.

Surely Justin is going to trip up at some point

Characters don’t have to live on the street to be main cast. Audrey has lived at Grasmere Drive since before Alfie died, no reason for them all to be crammed in to the too small houses.

Why can't people like Jenny be witnesses to co overate? sp Daisy's story

Daisy that was very silly. Ryan loves Crystal.
That sister is lurking. Put Ryan down.

Bit none of her family ever stay there, even when have had absurd overceowding

Stephen was with her. I remember scenes in her house too.
What is Daisy playing at?

I had to turn it off. The court case scenes were really stupid and offensive.

Did Stephen have second thoughts about selling Grasmere Drive. Or just about poisoning Audrey.

I thought he re-mortgaged Audrey's house without her knowledge.

And fucksake, as if the acid plot needed more twists with that kiss.

Absolutely appalling.

I had a bit of a binge last night (on Corrie, not just in general) and was actually enjoying it more than usual up until Friday’s episode. Every time Justin’s barrister asked ridiculously unprofessional questions about Daisy’s behaviour I just kept thinking why neither she or Ryan or the opposing counsel didn’t just say “It doesn’t matter if she’s a saint or a manipulative trollop - it’s not relevant to the fact that he threw acid at her”!!! (Guessing “manipulative trollop” isn’t a term enshrined in law, but still.)

The prosecution should have objected, the judge should have asked for clarification on the line of questioning… then we eventually get the elaborate theory that it was actually all a set-up and Ryan accidentally poured cleaning fluid all over himself 🙄🙄🙄 Surely there would be some forensic witness who could show that wouldn’t cause those kind of injuries?

Yep, that’s right. Cilla shagged some young bloke on her hen night and almost got caught by Les, who was still drunk from the stag, so Cilla passed him off as her son. Cue Les looking confused when he met the real son the wedding day, but brushing it off as drunkenness.

I think he’d be a good character to resurrect. He’d need a name change so that we didn’t have two Billys (Will?) Maybe he could have married a woman with “notions” about herself, which would explain why he hadn’t been in touch with his embarrassing common relatives in years. Then they could move into Victoria Court and the wife could be aghast when Chesney turns up at their housewarming and Gemma stuffs her gob full of posh vol-au-vents saying “Ey, they’re alright, these little pies ain’t they?”, spluttering pastry all over the marble effect flooring.

I've given this too much thought, haven’t I?

And Justin was not quizzed at all. A half decent barrister would have ripped it to pieces.

Any one of us would have ripped it to pieces. Perhaps there's a reason why we weren't shown Justin being cross-examined by the prosecution. But for the moment I can only assume it was to annoy the hell out of anyone with half a brain.

Was Ryan questioned by Daisy's barrister

There are so many witnesses to collaborate Daisy's harassment

e.g. at the wedding fayre or in the pub

Why wasn't Craigie called etc

" But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court."

This what everyone is told when they are arrested and it is to stop people just coming up with nonsense in a court room.

This portrayal of a court is so absurd it is irresponsible.

Roy's letters and Evelyn!

She betrayed his trust when she opened her letter. Unforgivable and just as we were warming to her and seeing her softer side she had to go and spoil it.😕

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got angry over the court scenes. Was absolutely sickening

The writers really need to up their game. The court scene was ridiculous.

Dh never watches it but was in the room when the court part was on. He declared that's exactly why he doesn't watch it. I couldn't argue

I’m hoping that, in tonight’s episode, the prosecution barrister will pull apart the utterly ridiculous “They lured Justin there and then Ryan accidentally threw acid all over himself” argument - as well as both him and the judge pointing out in their summing up that Justin is the one on trial, not Daisy, and that it’s absolutely irrelevant if she was a bitch to Ryan and Alya.

What will actually happen is the barrister will say something triggering, Justin’s facade will slip and he’ll leap from the dock and try to attack Daniel and start screaming “I love you Daisy!!! Why don’t you understand?!?!”

Im hoping Justins sister says something.

I can see some absurd nonsense involving the sister, she will take the role of person who shows up in court at last minute and demands to be heard.
