Page 21 | Coronation Street - NO SPOILERS! Sarah caught out in Damon lie; will Elaine be next to die? Brian and Isabella - just plain WHY?

But of course the big question is, will Arabella Weir move in two doors down?

I have always thought Sally’s hair was a mess, it’s her fringe, it’s nothing nor something. At least Elaine’s wig doesn’t have one.
I couldn’t hear what Steven said in scene where he was on the phone to someone because DH was laughing so much at Stevens terrible acting. Who was he talking to? I heard “You need a reason? Oh, er er, my partner and I have split up”? What was that all about?
Aidi and Dev are being stitched up big time.

Steven was on the phone to the life insurance company, cancelling the policy.

WomanStanleyWoman2 · 22/07/2023 09:32

Is he cancelling it so he can claim it never existed? Surely one call to the company would prove otherwise?

I’m quite enjoying Stephanie Davis’s “all cash, no class” routine, but fear it will end it tears for Aadi.

Re the Isabella storyline, WTAF was the point of that.

A couple of months ago, it seemed she was going to be involved in a semi-interesting, slightly exciting storyline. It seemed like she may be about to rip off Brian, as she kept banging on about how her apartment 'needs more renovations,' and seemed to be hinting at not having enough money. Then she sabotaged his mate's ship by gluing something on that shouldn't have been there (or snapping something off? Can't quite remember.)

And yet they just had her bagging a few extra months in Weatherfield, doing a tour of Morecambe Bay, and Southport, (and Rhyl?) and then eventually fucking off, because she believed the ridiculous tale that Mary told about her and Brian being Jack and Rose from Titanic.

Most stupid, pointless storyline ever. And who the fuck would come all the way from Italy, spend 5 months in the UK, and not go more than 50-60 miles from where you were staying, and even then just visit some the most boring places in the UK with nothing there?

Surely, she would have wanted to have seen some places in Scotland (Edinburgh, John O'Groats, The Cairngorms, Ben Nevis, Loch Ness etc...) And Wales (Cardiff, Aberystwyth, Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons Swansea/The Mumbles etc, ) and London, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Liverpool, Stonehenge, Dublin, Giants Causeway, Northern Ireland, and lots of the areas of outstanding natural beauty. Why would she have just stuck where she is the whole 5-6 months she has been in the UK?

Daft!

I am loving Steph as the cougar seducing Aadi!

aflix · 22/07/2023 10:38

Aadi's crush on Amy has certainly taken a back seat.

ilovebrie8 · 22/07/2023 10:40

Poor Aadi! dev and him are in for trouble! She is a trollop is Steph she didn’t waste much time did she 🤣🤣…

ilovebrie8 · 22/07/2023 10:40

yep he’s quickly forgotten about liking Amy! Lol

Helendegenerate · 22/07/2023 11:03

Is the seduction of young Aadi some kind of trap and the husband is in on the plot?

All very horrible but when those shiny tanned fake boobywoobies are thrust in his face well what's a lad to do? 😘

I fear so. This'll be something else that I don't want to have to sit through. Wake me up and let me know when DC Arcraigy has solved the crime. Or Spider pops up to say, 'we've been after this pair of villains for a long time'.

As soon as Dev announced he was mortgaging all his properties, we knew he would lose it.

I love Aadi's business genius - he has worked out a shop needs parking spaces even though it is lacking outside theirs.

My top business idea for the Alahan Empire would be to merge the kebab shop and the chippy.

It's like Lauren Branning in Eastenders, where she blurted out 'chicken shops!' and was treated as some kind of marketing and business genius, @Heliotroper

Eileen looks terrible whatever possessed her to have her hair cut like that. Not a good look at all

She looks lovely. She's obviously invested time in herself & it's paid off.

You forgot the east of the U.K.: across country to the Yorkshire Moors, the Dales, Brontë country, the stunning coastline of the north east coast.

Haha - I remember that 😄

The problem with storylines that involve characters having brilliant business or creative ideas is that, if the ideas were that brilliant, someone in the relevant sector would have already had them. Nothing a soap scriptwriter or prop designer dreams up is ever going to be genuinely innovative. (Hence Michael’s “unique” Nipper Snapper designs look like the kind of old tat you can buy on countless websites.)

I would have liked Brian to grow a pair and have a go at Isabella and call her out

And Sarah in Milan as a business women or anywhere's for that matter, so implausible

Show quote history

The flaw in that idea is that it looks cute for a while but the child grows out of theirs and the adult is left with theirs looking rather less cute.

Heliotroper · 22/07/2023 14:39

Michael's skill as designer is the one that baffles me, no training at all but he doodles something, Sarah sells it and everyone steps back in amazement.

The factory girls knock them out on their machines - interrupted by random people popping in - Kirky packs them and they are ready to compete with Chinese mega factories.

Just caught up on a few weeks.

Grim question, but are Stephen and Elaine actually having a sexual relationship?

aflix · 22/07/2023 15:46

@coloursquare I used to wonder that. I try not to think about it now, it's too disturbing.

@aflix I know!! I can't help the intrusive thoughts . He just seems so irritated and contemptuous

AutumnCrow · 22/07/2023 16:01

Oil Slick Adam and his panic attacks aren’t garnering much sympathy in my household. I don’t know why. We find his hair so annoying perhaps it is overriding every other possible emotion.

When he claws at his top button I’m thinking, ‘that’s probably hard to undo because it’s covered in grease’.
