Coronation Street ITV1 pace thread. We know whodunit but on it drags *** NO SPOILERS ***

[TellingBone]

Let the Joel storyline continue to bore us 😞

What if Joel’s not really dead? Bear with me…what if his parents know he’s alive and he’s hiding at theirs? What if they deliberately wrongly identified another body, saying it was their son? What if they take Frankie back to Joel? This could be why they appear to be coping with losing their son, and they made a comment at the end about not telling Max the real reason…

I think that comment was to indicate they don't just want to see Frankie, they want custody. You'd think Max and Lauren would have worked that out though.

Seeing as Joel was a wanted man though you'd think the police would have been aware if it was his body. Kit saw him too, not sure about Swain.

@CellophaneFlower you’re spoiling my theory now haha but probably right. But the police you say? The Weatherfield force of Lisa, Kit and dopey Craigy. Not exactly AC 12 are they? I just think it would make a great Christmas reveal!

I like it 😜

I just skipped a month because I didn't have the will to catch up on all that corrie, pretty much nothing has happened 😂

I think I'm going to give up on it unless Christmas episodes are really good

No drama in Bobby being Daddy? Granny Carla would be the best thing ever, until they forgot Frankie existed. And Bobby would be part of the Connor clan and inherit the factory.
Harry has definitely bad boy genes.

Haha, you’ve convinced me it’s a good idea to have Bobby as the father.
What the street desperately needs is a childminder, she’d make a fortune!

They had one in gemma... until she realised having millions of kids already took her over the permitted ratio 😂

Oh yes! I remember that. 😂

Joel's parents are vile

So the grandparents caused the bruising I’m guessing and going to blame Lauren and get custody from there

Joel's mother looks like she has lots of filler/Botox. I remember when she was the face of Chanel 19 in the late 70s.

FFS.
That's all I've got.
As if anyone would trust Joel's parents within a mile of little Frankie.

It's absolute drivel and Joel's mum's neck doesn't match her face

And didn’t Max have Frankie overnight so Lauren definitely didn’t cause the bruises. Surely that lady who was talking to Lauren should have known that

Was that police officer in a cupboard? He appeared within seconds of the phone call.

Surely a doctor can tell the age of bruises.
Be great if they did do a DNA test and Joel’s not his father.

Not another seriously ill baby story, sounds identical to Emmerdale.
Why are these soaps so bloody depressing, real life’s bad enough.

Just said to my friend - so where ARE the bruises? Does he have a condition that could have cause them? Something genetic?

Something passed down from his father, maybe?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you . . . BOBBY

I don't remember what condition Bobby has, but I'm convinced he's the daddy now

I said Bobby or Max ages ago
Bobby's disappeared again tho

So if it's not bruises externally then it's a blood disorder
Leukemia -he will need a stem cell transplant
So tissue typing
Joel's not the daddy...
God I hope it's not Kit
He gets about a bit 🤔

Ps all speculation

So this should get shut of the evil grandparents then, shouldn’t it!

Max shotks have called DeeDee- she knows Joel’s mother was a bitch.

So many children have serious/inherited conditions in soaps, looks like Frankie is another one. If the characters aren't in the police station they're in hospital.

Why would it have anything to do with Bobby, he has cerebral palsy not a blood disorder.

If Frankie has inherited a serious health problem from Joel, it may spur DeeDee on to have the termination (I would have thought the sight of Joel's parents would have done that already though!)

Joel's mum

On top of all the other tripe and far fetched rubbish there's another little thing that niggled me in tonight's episode. Gail and Audrey discussing blood pressure and getting a monitor for Aud. Neither of them seemed to have a clue what a good or bad reading would be. 🙄 So Gail just had a heart attack and Audrey would be having health checks at her age (it's normal and advised if over 70) but two seemingly intelligent women know nothing about a basic thing like healthy BP. It was as if neither have ever had a test. 🫤
