Ok...ignore everything that I have written 🤣🤣.!

  1. I am getting actress and characters names wrong way round !

  2. Tyrone knew that Jackie (!!) wasn't his real mum as that is why he went to look for Evelyn in the first place ( I think ?)

  3. I should really stop thinking about. Corrie and do something useful...err 🤔🤔...like ...ohh yeah ...lots of housework, washing and proper stuff !!
    🤣🤣🤣

bizzey · 19/08/2023 12:09

I really don't add anything of significance to these threads do I !!

Lorrymum · 19/08/2023 12:21

I think the factory Fizz is working in must be in Outer Mongolia. Apparently it is so far away (Norfolk!) that she can't nip home for quick visit or be consulted on a complete stranger moving into her home!

Evelyn's daughter Cassie was an addict, so Evelyn left Tyrone on the steps of a police station because she was trying to get Cassie clean and didn't think they could cope with a baby too. Jackie Dobbs (played by Margi Clarke) found him and raised him as her own.

When Jackie died Tyrone was informed she wasn't his biological mother. He tracked down Evelyn who told him his real mother had moved to South Africa and died there. Evelyn assumed she had died because she hadn't heard from her in years.

Cassie then turns up, back from SA (we didn't see this, only Evelyn going to "visit" friends) and Evelyn then tried to get Cassie clean over (again) so that she could meet Tyrone and the girls eventually

But Cassie jumped the gun and spilled the beans to Tyrone at the show that she is his real mother and Evelyn's daughter.

Now we'll get two sides of the story and have to decide who is telling the truth about everything!

Thank you. I think I missed a couple of episodes. I always thought Jackie (had forgotten her name) was Tyrone's mum and that Evelyn was Jackie's mum and he had traced her after Jackie died. Then I got confused by Cassie claiming to be Ty 's mum/Evelyn's daughter and then all this talk of SA and police station doorsteps.

How old is Cassie supposed to be? Ty said last night he was 40, I suppose Cassie must be mid-late 50s? Considering her long drug history she looks miraculously preserved for late 50s. I'm not sure how old Claire Sweeney is, I suppose she maybe in her 50s but I think given how drugs age a person they should have gone fo someone who looks older.

Yes, Cassie's got fantastic teeth for a 56 year old drug addict.

We learned Evelyn's husband's name last night, I think? Harold? So the writers are fleshing out a character.

So is Harold going to turn out to be Tyrone's grandfather and father? Hence Evelyn's unseemly haste in depositing the infant on the police station steps? That would be a bit dark, though, even for new-style crap Corrie.

Though how Margie got the birth certificate is another thing !

I also wonder why nobody ever enquired about Cassie's missing baby

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 19/08/2023 13:22

Could they have dumped Tyrone before registering his birth? And then whoever found him registered him as theirs?

No, that wouldn't work. Iirc they match up your records from the hospital at the register office. Although maybe they didn't 40 years ago.

bizzey · 19/08/2023 13:35

Where did Cassie even have the baby Tyrone ?

bizzey · 19/08/2023 13:38

I reckon the script writters are holding emergency meetings right now to sort out all the loop holes we have pointed out on this thread ,🤣🤣!

bizzey · 19/08/2023 13:44

Though they might be out with their mates celebrating their A level results 🤔🤔🤣!

FeltCarrot · 19/08/2023 14:44

What does Asha do? She was supposed to go to Uni to be a paramedic but that all seems to have been shelved.

bizzey · 19/08/2023 15:18

Were any A level results due for the youngsters ?
I thought summer was re taking one ?

Heliotroper · 19/08/2023 15:25

Asha and Aadi should have been taking them

Perhaps Harold will turn to have been Hayley

Clawdy · 19/08/2023 15:29

Ooh that would be interesting! Evelyn was married to Roy's wife!

FeltCarrot · 19/08/2023 15:31

Heliotroper · 19/08/2023 15:25

Youre correct, they should, as they were born Jan 2006, but at some point they were “aged up”. Aadi took the fall for Summer cheating in her exams last year so I think they are meant to be the same age now as Amy (born Feb 2004).

Shurleyknot · 19/08/2023 15:43

What does Asha actually do bar look simperingly at Nina?

HelloSquire · 19/08/2023 15:51

Fuck me when it's all laid out bare on here the writers have made a real cock up of it all haven't they
It's all a pile of nonsense now
How sad

aflix · 19/08/2023 16:07

Haley was born in 1966 as Harold. She was raised by her father, Harold, after his wife left him. So Evelyn was married to a Harold? Cassie is 56, so born 66/67?

I've totally confused myself now. Confused

AutumnCrow · 19/08/2023 17:32

According to Wiki’s ‘in-universe information’ (which the writers really should try reading some time Grin ), Hayley’s parents were Harry and Maggie Patterson.

So, another Harold.

Helendegenerate · 19/08/2023 18:22

Just to add yet another question which probably has no answer. That run down flat which Evelyn took Cassie to. How did that happen?. Cassie wouldn't be able to rent it and Evelyn is a pensioner with no way of paying a landlord and it can't be a social housing flat either as they aren't allocated to just anyone at short notice.

It's so unrealistic ( unless I've missed something but don't believe I've missed any episodes lately)

Lorrymum · 19/08/2023 18:34

Is Aadi still sleeping with his bosses wife? I think I have missed a few episodes.

When they arrived at the block of flats, Maureen Lipman quickly said something along the lines of, 'it was good of [name] to let us use this flat / sort us out with this flat', like all of a sudden she's best buds with a Manchester landlord who doesn't require paperwork or money. And that was that.

I think the beds even had bedding on them because I don't remember them bringing any duvets. Or clothes. Or possessions.

Helendegenerate · 19/08/2023 18:47

Ah thank you. I obviously missed that statement from Evelyn . That's what happens though when we are so pishd off with Corrie that we don't give it our full attention.

So pensioner Evelyn who doesn't appear to have much in the way of a healthy bank account just happens to know a landlord with a grotty empty flat.

Well it seemed that way to me but I could have been hallucinating by this point. My vague memory is that Cassie did a cat's bum face when she saw the outside of the flat, and Evelyn said how it was good of whoever-it-was to let them have it or be doing them a favour or something. And then it was never mentioned again.
