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

[TellingBone]

Where is @womanstanleywoman2?

Any road up, here's a new thread

His secondment to CID finished a while ago so he didn’t really get demoted

Thanks

I missed the finer details of his position being temporary

Did Craig not think that, you know, a <builder's yard> might have stocks of white spirit? 🙄

Ditto

Report the poor guy, the carer for Paul was not on!! (I can't recall the carer's name but its a sweet name.

Steves behaviour and storylines are getting ever more ridiculously, ludicrous

The little gangster, the gangland acting suited him but not the nice guy stuff

The gambler, forget his name too, someone needs to give him a good slap
and tell him gambling never pays

Poor Dev crying scenes, they were phateti, his acting is a joke and so bad makes him look good in the character he plays. Devs
's son, gosh, when is he going to grow up!!

Gail, dont get me started, lol

The carer is called Moses. I'd like him to become a regular.

Bernie is jealous of the carer.
Probably true to life in many families.

How can the yard be an insurance scam... insurers won't pay out when they find out he left the fire on and went out, and he's telling everyone that's what he did! And of course it stinks of white spirit... as does my builder filled house at the minute!

In any case, thats not Arcraigies job, thats for the fire brigade and insurance company (if there is one, if there is a claim) to sort out and then involve the po-po if necessary.

Did Edison not sweep a range of bottles (labelled white spirit or something) off the shelves in a fit of anger/pique in a previous episode? - hence the smell lingers on

Yes, he looked so excited - to be accusing a neighbour! Really odd.

In fairness, a lot of his neighbours are wrong'uns

Craig is possibly as keen to get rid of boring characters as the rest of us. Aggie seems to have abandoned ship. Did eds dad go home or is he still lurking?

Money for old rope. I think of this every time Dev has a scene. It could apply to others too but with him it makes me wonder if he's a completely different person (as in how he speaks) in real life. Yes I know they are acting but 😐

What makes him my most ggggrrrr character is that I struggle to understand him when he speaks. Sometimes I rewind up to 3 times to decipher his mumbling.

😕

Ed was on the phone to who I assume was aggie. Does that mean he's told her about the gambling when he said he's been allowed back home ?

She hung up on him. Again.
Dead right Aggie.

Looked again at the white spirit bottle (Tuesday's episode) - the top was not closed down fully - a clue - but I thought white spirit came in plastic bottles not glass!

How big is the fecking bedroom that Tracy is having painted. £800......crikey

has Aggie gone for good?

Ha,yes lots of wrong uns in Weatherfield!!

It's so stupid with Aggy- she has a job & family, and there must be home admin to do!

Yeah where IS the old man ? Pork pie 🥧

Dev...we had the same conversation,his acting is horrific and cringe.
Makes him unique that voice but not easy to warm to even after all these years...

Haha sand that was skirting boards only she told Steve.
I mean, come on.

I hate the way Tracey carries on

Wouldn't most people told her to stfu and not be browbeaten by her

Porkpie buggered off back to wherever to run his failing chain of burger vans with money he guilted out of Ed and his brother.

I watched a few old episodes of Corrie and was amazed that Dev sounds nothing like he does now.

We watched classic corrie the other day and noticed how Dev was portrayed as a slick high flying businessman then, very upwardly mobile etc had an equally high flying girlfriend who was a solicitor, we commented on it being funny him ending up with rough old lag Bernie and being portrayed as a bit of a twat now 😀usual Corrie personality change …..

Yes I watch classic Corrie too and agree with what you say about Dev. I'm loving the Dev and Maya storyline. Also loving the Steve, Tracy and Karen storyline. Karen is such a good character. Corrie was much better back then.
