Coronation Street **NO SPOILERS** Stephen situation grim. What's he done with Nice but Tim?

[TellingBone]

No sign of @womanstanleywoman2 but old thread full.

Looking forward to the Stephen denouement now.

Good title!

Tim looked dead to me. Stephen appeared to suffocate him . Tim's eyes indicated he had expired.

😥

It will be no surprise to find he's survived though. 😗

Tim had better not be dead.

Yes, good title! Tim will survive, hopefully, he's one of the few likeable characters.

Oh thank goodness...a new thread. I hope Tim is ok. My husband is worried that something nasty will happen to Jenny in the bath. As if we don't have enough to worry about.

I don't think the powers that be would want Tim to leave the show but if the actor who plays him is bored and wants a change of scenery, it might not be their decision.

Jenny really falls in love at the drop of a hat doesn't she?

The husband Johnny (RIP)
Then the young stud (RIP)
Now the creepy Stephen (ripper)

It would be better if he killed someone random just to shock us Tim/Jenny/Carla too obvious

Thanks for new thread.

Hope Tim's ok - I like him and Sally together. There's a few others I'd prefer Stephen to take out on his way out (Tim's mum or Tyrone's mum for example)

What was the point of Ken's birthday celebrations? Was it just to have storyline to allow Sally to go out?

Ken's birthday celebrations - light relief interspersed with the serious drama? Corrie always does this with its high-octane episodes. It's not new - even Shakespeare added a bit of comedy to his tragedies!

Slight continuity issue with the roofbox, though - Tim managed to jemmy it open with the conveniently avalable long pointy thing, enough to see what was inside, but it appeared to be closed again when the police pulled it out of the canal. 🤔

Yes that's what I thought about the roof box.
Also, the trains going by, surely someone would have seen something?
Seen a few comments on Instagram saying if you look carefully you can spot something when Stephen was about to torch the car but I re watched that bit a few times and couldn't see anything so I don't know what they were talking about

Shame he couldn't have murdered Cassie instead

Checking in.

Don't forget that 'charming' man who nearly bought the factory! Forgot his name

'charming' man = Owen, i think..

So Schrodingers cabbie is either dead or if he crawls out/is rescued (by sarah, is that why shes covered in grot in the flash forwards?)... his DNA is all over the roof box from helping Stephen get it on the roof of Orrrrrrrrrdrehs car (do fingerprints survive in water, possibly?), so will he be a suspect and the Defectives SnarkyBlonde and ArCraigy will waste time on that whilst Stephen legs it..

That comment Stephen made on the phone when changing his flights about Jenny being unable to travel sounded ominous, but what does he gain from offing her now, he's not got his paws on her money has he?

We still haven't seen a resolution to the Stephen/Elaine life insurance thing where he cancelled it the day she confronted him over it in hospital and she COULD have checked out the dates as she had the paperwork... and never did!

Jenny is obviously adding things up and a bit scared but she has actually no clue just how dangerous he is... so maybe she does get offed.

Maybe Sarah accuses him of murder having miraculously added everything up despite having only one brain cell... and he chases her through the woods for some reason.

Adam will surely realise that he truly loves a muddy Sarah almost murdered by stevey boy.
I wish Jacob would return.

Jacob was excellent - I was really disappointed when he left.

I couldn’t see much at all in those scenes where he was going to torch the car. The screen was way too dark for me to make much out

Yes same for me @Fiddlersgreen I couldn't really see much

They need to stop this dismal teenage lads storyline, it’s awful.

Tim is one of the diminishing group of decent characters, hope he’s not going anywhere.

We’d better not lose Jenny as well. She does jump from love to love. My sil does that too! Can’t be alone.

Why/how did Stephen kill Leo? I can’t remember. I think it was an accident? So how’s he become so good at lying and murdering? Then again, I guess covering up murders runs in his family!

I think the dark screen left an air of mystery for us. I think Tim was pretending to play dead to Stephen so he’d think he’s already dead. He didn’t burn Tim, so didn’t dispose of his body well like the others. I think Tim will be found and Stephen gets arrested either before he leaves or at the airport before he leaves. I hope he doesn’t escape to Thailand, though he’s cancelled Jenny’s ticket, maybe he bumps her off 🤔

No Tracey, Steve, Amy or Adam at Ken’s birthday party?, yet Sally and Tim’s mother are there, this is what annoys me so much about modern Corrie it’s completely unrealistic. Poor Gail her husband was serial killer and now her brother, how unfortunate.

Thanks for new thread

And another husband was killed by another serial killer!

I assumed he'd cancelled Jenny's ticket because she doesn't want to leave straight away, and he does. He's no reason whatsoever to kill her, surely he's just decided to leave her behind.
