Coronation Street **NO SPOILERS** Cobblers on the cobbles

[TellingBone]

Where is @womanstanleywoman2?

Any road up, here's a new thread

Why was Lauren so off with Simon? He’s not the boyfriend, is he!?

Why didn’t Dylan back Liam up? I bet Liam’s little brother will end up telling Maria.

I think she was off with him as he was acting like a complete bell end and she was only there for the free drink

Who is the dad of Liam's little brother?

Gary is Jake's dad

Thank you I missed that!

I reckon Lauren's sugar daddy is Dee Dee's boyfriend, there is just something slimy about him.

I was wondering that tonight. I particularly picked up on him calling Dee Dee 'cupcake' and whether we are going to see it on a message on Lauren's phone or she's shouting down the phone "don't call me cupcake!".

I wasn't keen on Lauren in the beginning but she's doing an amazing job as she really tugs on my heartstrings as the vulnerable abused teenager.

I thought Joel seemed very keen to escape Dee Dee's flat, having gone round for dinner and seemingly all loved up on the sofa with her... almost gleeful?!

Something slimey?

Everything about him is slimey

I know Underworld is the worst run factory on the planet but not sure that Carla employing two of her young male relatives to be on the sames team was the best idea. One thinks he is comedian, the other thinks he is a hard made and both look like they more likely to caught sniffing knickers than selling them.

Never thought about that, no wonder the secrecy..

Doesn't a sugar daddy give money and gifts to his sugar baby though? Lauren isn't showing any signs of being better off in that dowdy flat.

She does seem to have more money and wearing newer clothing

As in any tv soap - a very nice, caring good person have at least one hidden dark secret if not more.

Regarding the builder/gambler, I forget his name, I'm predicting his wife will return with a new person playing her role.

Lauren was seen in a dress for the first time after two years in various track suits and crop tops

By sugar daddy do we mean client or pimp 😬
That's the impression I'm getting.
The whole conversation with Simon was wierd.
Her father was part of the racist gang wasn't he?
Is that why she was so triggered?

I am not quite caught up but Lauren needed money desperately for a bit, then she was acting shifty, then she seemed to have money and clothes so I am assuming she has some sort of 'arrangement' going on. I reckon if no one on the street knows him she doesn't need to be secretive, so I think its someone we know. Best candidate seems to be Dee Dee's bloke.

Has Simon just realised he is mixed race?

Born through a surrogacy with Tina McIntyre

There is another son with Phelan's (baddie) daughter called Zack who is never referred to. He and his mother Nicola who you never see live down in that Bristol - not sure what happened to them

I did find it odd that 'gangster' Gary was driving a fiat 500 car - would have expected a BMW or Merc would suit him better. Maybe it is |Maria's.
Has he still got his 'antiques' shed?

Is Maria still on an eco mission?

why hasn't she got an electic car?

I did wonder if Nathan had come crawling out of the woodwork, but it seems unlikely.

Is he?

So jake lives with Gary not Izzy ?

Simon has always looked mixed race...but his mum and dad were white. Maybe we will discover that Peter wasn't his dad. Dna testing kits haven't been covered yet. Poor Simon has had a hard life.

I think the actor who plays Simon’s family come from Malta

I laughed when they pulled up in the tiny Fiat. They looked as though they were getting out of a circus clown car! Just didn't fit Gary's macho image.
