Coronation Street Thread. **NO SPOILERS PLEASE.** Currently in early June 2024

[SabreIsMyFave]

Following on from the last thread, that started in late April 2024.

Joel's the baddie, and Lauren is still missing
Roy's a free man, and Carla and Swain are close to kissing
Will Bethany quit moaning, she does it all the time!
Sarah is still hot, but needs to slow down on the wine

Leanne's missing too, has that cult bloke kidnapped her then?
And where are the quads, does anyone ever see them?
Paul's still alive, hanging on and on in there
Cop Kit's a bit tasty but a bit annoying and hard to bear

Not much with the Platts or the Barlows or The Rovers
Carla's pub money being stolen by Jenny and Daisy has been glossed over
Adam still has his wacky hair that's a bit greasy
Daniel's still boring, yet the cutest girls to him come easy

The school bully storyline has eased off a bit
So Maria can chill - and Sarah can get off with Kit
I hope it's OK for me to start this new thread my friends
I wonder where we'll be at when this thread ends?

Where is Pauls wheelchair kept? They can't have it in the flat because of the stairs. Why is Billy always lifting him, they would have been issued a hoist!
Who is looking after Glory whilst her Dad is at work/drinking/shagging?

According to wiki, Toyah had a one night stand with Andy Macdonald, close enough to Steve!

Is this behaviour out of character for Leanne? I don't remember her being particularly gullible/susceptible.

They don't seem particularly innocent on Classic @JellyBeanFactory they are all paired up by the time they're 17! Toyah's partners (that I remember) were Spider, Sam the stripper mechanic, and her tutor. Then she left and wasn't around until she returned with Peter.

@MinnieCauldwell I think the wheelchair is supposed to be kept 'in the lobby' for outdoor use. The lobby is the size of a postage stamp.

Ah @FeltCarrot, good sleuthing - that's what I must remember from the dim and distant past!

I'm watching her in 2004 and her main character traits are bolshy and spiteful. But she is supposed to have been transformed by her grief over Oliver, making her very vulnerable to sharks like Rowan. Not sure I really buy it though.

I can’t remember her ever being the brightest but I’m trying to remember how the bistro came to be?

I couldn't remember either, but Wiki says it has been Nick's since 2011. Leanne and Nick have been on and off several times since then I think?

Leanne has turned into a real sour face!

Can’t believe she’s been conned and lapping it all up re the Institute 😂.

Just see Eileen on Loose Women today she looks dreadful IMO since she had weightloss surgery it has aged her incredibly …she looks so aged and haggard.

Schedules all over the place due to football 😔

Last time I checked, the next episode is on Tuesday. Is that still right?

She hasn't had weight loss surgery. She's lost a lot of weight because she's very seriously ill.

The "adverts" where she appears to be promoting diet pills have been faked.

Don't think she's "very seriously ill" now, she's been touring with the Sister Act musical and returning to Corrie in a few weeks.

I missed out been..

Was she not diagnosed with diabetes and had to lose weight? I remember seeing her with a cgm on in the jungle and she had the wee machine but of course people thought it was a mobile!

Sue was diagnosed with diabetes and lost some weight, but she then became very ill, had a hysterectomy and and then another undisclosed serious issue in 2023, and that is when she lost more weight. (I thought she looked great in the last photos I saw.)

Agree @Shellingbynight
Sue Cleaver looks better than she did many years ago in The Cops and Coronation St. She looks radiant in the most recent pics/clips that I've seen.
Good for her!

Kens House doesn't have a downstairs bathroom does it? Surely the most logical thing would be to rent one of the posh flats that Nick and Leanne live in, they have a lift.

I don't understand the point of Leanne and the cult. Why are they investing so much time and effort in her? She doesn't have any money, the Bistro is heavily in debt, they were almost bankrupt a few months ago.
When she was told she was at level 5 (or whatever) and spoke to the disembodied voice of Willow I laughed. It's so unbelievable.

No coronation street tonight because of the football

Sue is doing Sister Act she’s not very ill!

I said that was my opinion to which I’m entitled …as you age a little bit of weight avoids looking too drawn/haggard she looked far better before in my view…

I still think she’s been on the ozempic or some sort of weight loss surgery etc she may say not or whatever but I think she has had something… and looks much much older now…people don’t generally want to admit to it much like any other tweaks!

Agree it’s nonsense …it’s laughable the whole storyline…who comes up with this drivel !

@marshmallowmix Sue is okay now, but as she says in the article she was very ill in 2023.

@Deadringer it'll be interesting to see if they bother to make the Ken storyline at all realistic - he needs somewhere without stairs and with a walk-in shower but this is Corrie...

Maybe he could go back to the posh retirement village where he was for a while. With Claudia.
