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

Soooooo over it now!!
I want it to be Kit or Bobby but Nathan's gang is a good shout

So Shona and David are about to lose their home so they think a baby would be a good idea !🙄
I looked up David's age-hes 34!
I thought he would be mid 40s by now as he's been in Corrie for what feels like forever.

One thing you can be sure of, the Joel plot will not actually make any sense. Two people hit him with crowbars/rocks but he died elsewhere. Not even the mighty intellect of DC Green could work this one out. Unless he already knows what happened, and is just casting round for a scapegoat. He didn't even bother to interview DD correctly but he's all over the Swain option.

Lorrymum · 12/11/2024 09:13

Could it be Mason's horrible brothers who have suddenly appeared for no good reason.

Sorbiecorner · 12/11/2024 11:31

We are all going to end up liking Mason aren’t we?

I like him and Betsy together. Trouble united 😈

The story lining is excruciatingly bad. Every single storyline involves the police or prison, and they do it so so badly it’s unwatchable.

I assume they really are going for the ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ plot, with multiple people twatting Joel over the head so who knows who killed him. I couldn't care less.

I did a lot of whizzing through scenes that involved Gemma or Bobby or Mason.

David and Nick were the only bright point. I guess David’s prison visit is going to end in Clayton trying to commit suicide. Regardless, I am Team David.

This.

The writers need to go back to screen writing school and redo the modules on plot lining and character led drama.

Shellingbynight · 12/11/2024 14:06

It's odd because when I watch David and Nick it's like a completely different show - i.e. actual Corrie (leaving aside that, as a PP said, David never does any actual work!) Then we return to the hellscape of a police procedural involving characters no one cares about.

AmusedMaker · 12/11/2024 14:45

I like Sally - she often makes me laugh.
insisting the shed is a summer house 😂
David is such a natural good actor. I hope he never leaves. Unfortunately though I don’t like Shona for some reason?

Really haven’t warmed to DS Swaine at all, just find all her scenes a bit like an episode from the Bill and nothing to do with Coronation Street.

thenightsky · 12/11/2024 14:48

Swain's face never moves, which makes her look like a poor actor. She has to try to express every emotion with eye swivels instead.

eggandonion · 12/11/2024 15:18

Two detectives plus PC Craig is too much. We need the medical centre back. In real life people spend more time there than under caution at the police station. Or in a private hospital room.
I wonder how Ken is getting on.

JewelleryCat · 12/11/2024 15:22

Ken’s fine, isn’t he in Porto with Cassie? Probably have a nice tan when he’s back

Shellingbynight · 12/11/2024 15:52

@AmusedMaker I know what you mean about Shona. I don't dislike her but she just doesn't fit in. She does not work with David at all, he was much better with Tina and Kylie.

eggandonion · 12/11/2024 16:06

I'm worried about elder abuse within the Ken and Cassie set up. I don't trust her.
I don't mind Shona, David seems happy with his little family. His extended family are a different kettle of fish. A lot of his one liners are surely ad lib. The writers aren't good enough for Davidisms.

No I don't like Shona either

Deadringer · 12/11/2024 20:11

Shona doesn't work as a character because the actress isn't very good imo, though she has improved since her early days. I don't understand why we don't see the hairdressers any more, it would be a nice change from the bloody police station, and as a pp said David never seems to be at work. Mind you his hair is enough to put customers off, even his own dd doesn't trust him with her hair.

SabreIsMyFave · 12/11/2024 20:27

@WiddlinDiddlin

Clayton is the same actor (Callum Harrison) he's just matured a bit and got some facial hair.

Ah ha, thank you. Thought it was a different lad.

@Shellingbynight I also agree that the 'Murder On The Orient Express/Who shot Mr Burns' shite is annoying. It's tedious - and has been done too often. And the thing is, I don't know a single soul who gives a shiny shite about Joel.

I also dislike Shona but can't articulate why. And I agree that Swain, whilst (IMO) quite pretty, is a dull character and a bit wooden. Pretty much one facial expression 95% of the time... (The one on the photo I have attached!)

Agree David is amazing. Also a bit surprised at him being 34. Would have sworn he was 40-42.

Also why didn't Bethany ebay her clothes, she doesn't have any source of income

BirthdayRainbow · 12/11/2024 20:39

The actor playing David has had a hair transplant. I think that's why his hair is wild, he wants to show he has plenty. I think it could be styled better though.

nildesparandum · 12/11/2024 20:56

Shona is a character I have never warmed to.
Although writers have given her some silly storylines.Like the time she had a kind of head injury?.She was acting like a child for a short time , bouncing up and down on a trampoline and squealing like an excited little girl.Then making a quick recovery as if nothing had happened. Also giving her a stable relationship with David, after her son killed his wife.
But Corrie is full of silly storylines which soon get forgotten.

Shellingbynight · 12/11/2024 21:08

@SabreIsMyFave Yes Swain is just so expressionless, a personality vacuum. It's a bit of a disaster as she's on screen so much.

I saw Jack PS arrive as David relatively recently on Classic, just before the Sarah pregnancy and Hillman storylines and he was only a little lad (with hair!) so it makes sense to me he's mid 30s even though it seems like he's been there forever. He was brilliant in his first episode and still is.

Yes is David a similar age to Sawphie

JewelleryCat · 12/11/2024 22:16

Is he? I thought David and Rosie would be the same age because didn’t Gail and Sally give birth on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I thought that was in the same year or am I mistaken

As @JewelleryCat said

David is pretty much exactly the same age as Rosie. David was born Christmas Day 1990. Rosie was born Christmas Eve 1990. Gail and Salleh were in hospital at the same time.

Sawphie was born 4 years later in November 1994. Smile

I'm surprised how funny and interesting Sawphie is on Classic in 2005 (with her new head). She became quite dreary when she grew up!

Newnametoday5 · 13/11/2024 10:02

They should let David actor loose with writing a few scripts! It would be hilarious 😱
