Coronation Street Thread - As broadcast - ****NO SPOILERS****. From start August 2024.

[JellyBeanFactory]

Couldn't see a new thread (please delete if there is one!)
So, currently broadcast (and just caught up with) Friday 2nd August. Recap:

Lauren - given birth to baby boy at 24 weeks after Joel hid labour inducing drugs in her soup
Jack - been charged with arson with intent to endanger life (Hope seemed pleased!)
Paul - going to donate his corneas to MND research, much to Bernie's dismay
Beth - lost box of fake t-shirts and told Carla where to stuff her job

What else?

@KeepSmiling89 yes they must have been connected to the Institute, no one else would give it the time of day!

I didn't watch the Leanne/insult episode but I read about it. I think it was when she was promoted to level 7 or whatever nonsense Rowan spouts.

So many people in this storyline seem to have left their brains at home.

I think all the hesitation in the Toyah/Nick storyline is to show they are honourable people. But if they were, they wouldn't be shagging!

I am hoping that David hears about Nick 'fixing Toyah's wardrobe' and uses that phrase for evermore.

Photo of Nicky Clarke compared to creepy Rowan!

It reminded me of The Handmaid's Tale

Oooh yes please - AI versions of Deirdre and Blanche would be flippin' fantastic!!

Rowan looks like Nicky Clarke's love child. The ages are just about right 😄 ✂️

I’d love an AI Blanche, pouring scorn all over the whole institute. It would be great if Amy is working with Tracy to bring it down.
We haven’t had a Barlow Battersby cat fight on the cobbles for far too long…

Kit is seriously creepy around Daisy. Surely it’s too soon for her to be targeted by another weirdo??

On the Rowan love child thing…

The secret love child of Nicky Clarke and Gayle?????

I really don't think Amy is working undercover sadly.

Our Craig-eh is such a dope.

This is bonkers

Poor Amy

Can you get a bank to reverse the payment ?

Ken should have gone old school and sent a cheque, you could stop those.

Kirky really cannot act!

Nor can Beth shameful !

Are there no suitable candidates in Norwich to run factory

Why is Beth a desirable prospect 😀

Wouldn't there be a cooling off period when you invest? You get 14 days when you buy online.
Maybe I should see if Adam does late night house calls & I could ask him. 😉

Dee Dee rarely makes a bad wardrobe decision but I really do not like that outfit.

Who gets a job without having an interview?!

Or decides today that they're moving tomorrow? Where is she going to live? What's she doing with all her worldly goods?

Looks like Deedee nicked my late mum's crimplene trousers.

Gotta love an elastic waist.

Surely their relative can help them for free

Did anyone see the Rowan actor being interviewed on TV earlier? His own mother was victim to a scam. Shocking story but it's no script.

Although Amy had been suckered in for real, she could still do a journalistic exposé.

What programme was this on please?

Poor Amy! 😢 I really felt for her. As a pp said, surely she could get the money back - as there HAS to be a cooling off period. They have to act fast though!

Thank GOD the awful dreary boring BETH has gone. Had a face like a slapped arse for months now! Maybe she knew she was being written out of the show! Shame she can't take Kirk with her. Such a pointless character. And as has been said, he can't act for shit!
