So sadly we lost Paul, the air has been chilly.
Bernie had a rave, and Summer is comforting Billy.
Todd is a dude, and David's quite a lark.
It'll be Christmas by the next thread, and really quite dark.

Cassie is a sly one, she's taking Ken in.
I wish the naughty scouser would get in the bin.
Gail and Audrey don't have much going on at the mo.
And Stu and Yasmeen are always on the go.

Poor Bethany was slim but she got liposuction.
The fallout from the procedure has caused quite a ruction.
She owes so many thousands, you just wouldn't believe.
The clinic have her passport so she simply can't leave.

Damon's creeped out of the woodwork for a minute.
It's none of his business but he's poked his nose in it.
Offering Sarah dodgy cash he's got hidden away.
Sarah may have to take it. It may be the only way.

The pub is fairly quiet, and not much going on there
Daisy, Jenny, and Glenda all have fab hair!
Daniel is fussing around Bethany all the time
And people blame him for Bethany, like he's committed a crime.

Fizz is very pregnant, but may not keep the baby.
Tyrone really wants to, and says 'can we, maybe?'
Hope and Ruby fancy a new sister or brother.
But we know who'll be looking after it, Yep, the mother!

Carla and Lisa are vibing quite nice.
You can see their reactions when they look in each others eyes.
Mason's trying to go straight, but is he for real?
Or will he go back to his old ways, and bully and steal?

Kit has been fairly quiet, and the quads have been too!
What's the point of the quads, what do they even do?
Can't think of much else going on right now.
And can't get this last bit to rhyme. Grin

The termination story line was embarrassingly rubbish.

It was very strange and out of character for both Fizz and Tyrone. Especially after the family had baby Doris and they enjoyed having a baby around.
As for finances, give me strength! Wasn't Fizz working away as a factory manager for at least a year and Tyrone owns a business. I don't think they even have a mortgage because the house was left to Tyrone by Jack and Vera (might have imagined that).

eggandonion · 08/10/2024 12:15

I'm sure Terry Duckworth disputed the will. I loved Terry, he was a good wrong un.
Maybe Tyrone and Fizz will try again and have a squidgy baby.
Tyrone's nan and mam must pay rent? Fizz and Chesneys mum and Gemmas mum and Tyrone's other mum must never have mentioned benefits. The health centre needs a social worker and a health visitor.

Shellingbynight · 08/10/2024 12:31

Tyrone bought the house from J&V in 2008, which was the year V died.

I'm not sure Fizz really enjoyed having a baby around? Dorin was dumped on them - yes he was adorable, but it was temporary. All the storylining around Fizz and Tyrone is odd lately, I have no idea where it's going, if anywhere.

HaddyAbrams · 08/10/2024 13:05

Its been over 20 years since I had to have am abortion. And the whole thing was so traumatic for me I've shut a lot of the memories our. But can they really be arranged that quickly? I guess being early days Fizz "just" had to take some tablets?

AmusedMaker · 08/10/2024 15:46

Yes, it was all over very quickly - there’s got to be more to it? I’m thinking the baby might not have been Tyrone’s? But then she wouldn’t have said anything, plus Fizz wouldn’t be unfaithful I’m sure

< oh I’ll just shut up talking rubbish 😄>

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 08/10/2024 15:55

What happened to Phil who Fizz married, he was a great character shame he didn't stay around

Lorrymum · 08/10/2024 16:17

Did Tyrone and Fizz ever get married? Where has Cassie been hiding or has she moved out? It's such a tiny house she would surely have had her say.

I find it a bit cringey the way Gail shuffles around. I know she's an older lady but why have they made her look a little frail. Her mother doesn't walk like that. Yes I know in real life there's not much difference in their ages.

Gail used to be an astute businesswoman (ran cafe with Alma) but over the past few years the writers have decided that she's half witted, which she never was!

Yep! Gail is only about 65/66, (the character not the actress,) and she has been presenting as this doddery, dippy, losing-the-plot 'old bird' for several years now. Virtually as she was just leaving her 50s, she suddenly turned into a slow and dopey dipshit. Came out of nowhere.

She was a feisty, strong-willed woman who (as you said) was an astute businesswoman. I have no idea why they have turned her into a ridiculous simpleton. I don't know one single woman who is like this in her 60s. (And very few like this in their 70s, 80s, 90s, or 100s!) Why have they done this to her? Confused

Maybe Helen Worth wanted to cut down her schedule and so asked for less of a prominent storyline in any thing ?

SabreIsMyFave · 08/10/2024 17:27

Brilliant first post summary - thank you.

I had completely forgotten about Todd and Billy being an item. Todd needs someone more lively than Billy, so I hope they don't get back together.

The abortion storyline seems utterly pointless, unless, as suggested by a PP, it's to start Hope and Ruby feuding. If I was Ruby, I'd be afraid. Very afraid 😱 . Hope is not a girl to be messed with.

WHERE IS BOBBY?

Carla and Swain - no way. Carla has never, as far as I can remember, shown any interest in women.

Thank you ... Smile

Also, I don't 'get' Lisa (Swain) and Carla either. And I also think Swain is a bit wooden as a character. Not a huge fan. And I loathe Betsy! And yeah, where is Bobby? And also, where are Leanne, Nick, and Toyah all of a sudden? Confused

OP posts:
eggandonion · 08/10/2024 17:52

Betsy actually looks like Swain...but was Becky her biological mum? I hope the thug man that Swain arrested is gone now. I don't need a new thug.
If Fizz was taking tablets would they definitely work...could she still be pregnant? Yes Phil was good and had a big posh house.

HaddyAbrams · 08/10/2024 18:02

Didn't Phil only marry Fizz so he could write a book about Hope's dad?

eggandonion · 08/10/2024 18:12

Did they get married and split up at once? Did he have a bossy mother?

Shellingbynight · 08/10/2024 18:13

@HaddyAbrams A character on EastEnders had an abortion a couple of weeks ago, she attended a clinic and was given two tablets. Very quick. My friend had an abortion in 1974/5 and I accompanied her to the hospital, things have really changed.

I don't know if Helen Worth has had health problems, but Gail went to Thailand during the sink hole fiasco and since then she has been on screen very little.

Please everyone, stop mentioning Bobby! You'll make him appear!😆

JewelleryCat · 08/10/2024 18:13

Didn’t Bobby move back to either his mums or grandmas?

eggandonion · 08/10/2024 18:17

I'm sure Bobby is Frankys daddy. Lauren and Bobby watched a film together. That could lead to hanky panky on Carla's fluffy throw.
I hate the fancy apartments with no separate kitchens.

bizzey · 08/10/2024 18:19

A Carla and Swain true girl friendship and support would be so much nicer than any hint of romance.

Gail and Sally always had a good friendship...but just never together now.

They managed to put Steve and Tim together without any other feelings ...apart from...he is my mate .

MichaelAndEagle · 08/10/2024 18:19

I can understand Fizz and Tyrone having a termination. She is about 40, have two kids getting older, the baby phase is in the past. I think many would do the same, money and space regardless.
I guess there will be some sort of repercussions though because as some have also said, it was a very short storyline otherwise!

I read that the actor got the gig because he was friends with one of the writers. I think he'll be back unfortunately.

eggandonion · 09/10/2024 08:18

If Tyrone and Fizz had a baby they could chuck out Cassie and Maureen Lipman.

Shellingbynight · 09/10/2024 08:35

Thinking about the conversations above, the main point of Fizz’s abortion seemed to be the girls finding out, and there being no room/money for another child. The timing makes me wonder if Dorin is going to reappear (Alina’s convenient death?). Then Fizz and the girls will resent that she terminated a pregnancy, yet now they have to house not-Fizz’s child. They cast such a fab child as Dorin it would be a waste if it was for a few episodes.

Chuck Cassie out by all means but you can keep Maureen Lipman for me, I like her

eggandonion · 09/10/2024 13:31

Maureen could go and live in Roy's enormous flat.

ArabellaFishwife · 09/10/2024 13:40

Evelyn is a great old-school kind of Corrie character. We recognise her, and she fits in. Cassie is a much more intense shade of gritty, and nothing like as easy to warm to. It was the same with Paul and Kit. Paul was bad lad comes good, whereas we can never be quite sure we've got a handle on what motivates Kit.
