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

[TellingBone]

Where is @womanstanleywoman2?

Any road up, here's a new thread

I totally don't remember any Emma. I remember Fiona, but don't remember her having a child. Is Steve the father then?

Also, I find the Tommy Orpington and Tracey thing so ludicrous. She is not awful looking but she's not the type a fit and good looking ex-footballer would go for. Carla would have been more realistic/believable. Him going for Daisy would have been creepy, as he is about 48 isn't he? What's Daisy? 25-26??

The fangirling over Tommy, that Tyrone, Kirk, and Tim are doing, is doing my head in. It's pathetic.

Emma was a surprise late character from fairly recent corrie. We are lead to believe that when Fiona left, she was actually (unknown to anyone) pregnant with Steve's baby.

Emma was with Curtis, who convinced her he was at death’s door. He had ‘fictitious disorder’ or something, where he kept making up illnesses. Then she was getting married to him and learned the truth, or something.
She ran over the old chap when she was over the limit from a boozy night before, but she lost a false nail in the u bend at his flat and they had to take the drains apart. She was a bit drippy but her wardrobe was fun.

Am I alone in thinking Tommy O’s a bit of alright?

I would 😏

I forgot about Curtis. Didn't she suddenly go to Australia with the old gents son. After Craig discovered the truth and didnt dob emma and faye in.
I think Daisy would be a good footballers wife...perhaps less willing to take up with a decorator. Do footballers not often have a younger second wife?

Zero character or anything about him.
Like a cardboard cut out.
So bored of the Tommy Oooooo stuff

Tommy O is certainly a cut above the rest lookswise.

Presumably if he stays he'll develop a personality......or two.

If Tracy shags him and Steve finds out, Steve’s going to be in a right pickle. Can you imagine his next fishing trip with Tim?

Steve: Tracy cheated on me
Tim: Ah mate, sorry to hear that
Steve: Yeah, with Tommy Bloody Orpington
Tim: GET IN TRACE!!!!

She shagged him the other night!

Tommy O is pretty but I’m amazed anything happened after his ‘I don’t need the aggro’ meltdown.

This weeks schedule:

Well that’s not confusing at all, is it???

Dear me. I'm embarrassed that I'm watching this sludge now. It's been awful for ages but last nights Tommy O, Steve and Tracey scenes were the worst I've seen in a long time. Lots of crass double entendres that would have been awful in the 70s. Steve used to be a good character but he's now a series of bizarre face pulls. Shame.

Steve so naive ! Most men would have worked out why she took so long to answer the door 🙄

Anything with Steve or Tim in needs to be fast forwarded immediately, that's why I always watch twenty minutes behind.

Are there any men in real life that gormless? I've never met one, so why have the writers conjured up two?

Tim's character is bad enough but I hate what they've turned Steve into. It may be paying the actor's bills but I wonder if he hates getting his scripts now. 😐

Tracey usually wears a bright lipstick. That scene where she then Tommy came to the shop door, wouldn't Tommy have some lipstick smears and Tracey too for that matter. Tell tale signs for Steve to see.

Just me overthinking again. 😏

I think the whole Tim illness thing put them together and also Peter but they are the " comedy" duo a bit like Mary and thingy ( can't even remember his name) but it's getting very tedious now.
Tim and Sally's sex couple thing also went on and on and was so tedious .
Steeeeeves owl face and gaping gob -urgh

Would have thought Elaine and George would be trying to stop Linda's drinking. Not just her health but running a business like a pub you have to have a good grip on stock. She's drinking the profits.

While I agree I think that is more suited to a thread about Eastenders lol

I know I drift in and out, and scenes pass me by through boredom, but I was lost for a bit until
@Psychoticbreak explained!

(Would be easily done I guess for some characters to go unnoticed on the Street these days!)

Dh and I had a discussion about whether the double entedres are scripted or if Steve and Tracy slip one in occasionally. As it were.
Dh is far too intellectual to actually watch but I caught him smirking at some innuendo.
Tommy O is going to be a serial philanderer as opposed to a serial killer.
I am going to ignore Adam and the law thing.

Tim needs to keep an eye on Sally…she’s got form.

I hate the way the writers start a story, drop it for a few weeks and then return. During that time I have either forgotten who, what or where or just don't care any more. All that stuff with Adam trying to get rid of Damon by working with thugs from the local drugs "mafia" is tedious.

Apologies, wasn't concentrating
