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.

So true

Just been out for a drink at a new local wine bar. The group on the next table were talking about their friend who writes for coronation street. Felt like interrupting and asking if he could do better!!!

You should have printed out this thread and told them to give it to them.😂I'm actually not even joking though.

Gemma said Chesney was looking after quads while they "have a nap". They're nearly 4! Also, why only two quads dressed up as elves? Maybe the other two were still napping.

TBF I quite like a nap! (And I’m a lot older than 4)

If I had quads they would be still napping until starting high school.
After nursery, school, lunch - the lot. The only way a mother could cope with four toddlers!
Mind you Gemma doesn’t really bother with them and they seem to spend chunks of time colouring in every scene they appear in. Very placid children they are.

What has actually happened to Michael's mum irl - can't remember her name.

Lorna Laidlaw, don’t know where she’s disappeared to. Says online her mum was shielding during Covid , why she took time away then, so maybe her mum is poorly.

Peter and Simon’s matching jackets are not a good look. Simon looks like 20 going on 45

And where is Glory

Simon still looks about 14 to me

Simon needs the chop asap. He was a good child actor but he’s had his day. Unless he gets a new head and some decent storylines.

I know Simon is about 20 years old in real life but sitting at the bistro bar swigging pints he looks like he could have them fined for serving underage drinkers.

Peter and Simon in leather looked like the worst Wham tribute act on the planet

And Lauren in her tracksuits and messy white hair looked a bit like someone I won’t mention.

Lauren and Simon...

What's Lauren up to? Is it another grooming story like the Bethany one? Hope not.

I thought that Lauren had resorted to prostitution, but I may have missed something, somewhere.

I think that Lauren does the online videos, like Ryan was in his bedroom 😁

But why would she be drinking wine if she was only prostituting herself?

Dutch courage?

She had 2 glasses ready though, suggesting she was expecting another person to turn up.

Is it just me, or were the scene changes yesterday weirdly abrupt and random?

Yes, they were. I kept stopping and rewinding, thinking I'd missed a bit.

It doesn’t help that they still seem to be writing the character as around that age too.

Im sure Nina lives at Devs whilst Tyrone’s Nan lives at Roy’s so Cassie can live with Tyrone & girls. Is that right?

Yes - which is also why Lauren moved into the flat that used to be Evelyn’s while she was getting Cassie clean.
