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

[TellingBone]

Let the Joel storyline continue to bore us 😞

I know! Not keen on it.

It must be a wig she doesn't suit the colour its too dark for her.

I agree with all said Shellingbynight
I am sick of seeing all those characters.They seem to dominate Corrie.Just call it the Gemma DeeDee and Lauren show.
Leave poor little Frankie (stupid name) out of it, except for the fact he is the cause of another seriously ill baby story which all the soaps are so fond of doing.He will get his transplant from DeeDee's baby just in time, then the whole saga will be forgotten about.

It is a wig. I posted a DS article and it shows the Gemma actress with short hair which suits her so much

Come to think of it, it does look like a wig. Why black/very dark brown though?

I’m not sure, it’s very striking though especially since she had lighter hair before she went to Portsmouth was it

David with brain freeze is just like me when I eat ice-cream

Isn't the current safe sleep guideline not "feet to foot" anymore? Frankie is practically at the top of his cot, with a huge blanket too.

Thanks for the heads-up @JewelleryCat I just looked up Gemma's new hair (Dolly-Rose Campbell,) and it looks so cool!

Why does she not wear it like this in Corrie?

Maybe it will make her look too stylish, and she's meant to be a scally! 😆

There must be a reason for the hair.

As if Chesney would turn down £20k in his situation 🙄

The only good bit out of tonights was David and Audrey hiding in the car eating icecream that he's blackmailed her out of to keep quiet!

Chesney is being a massive dick about that money, he's barely thought about Les in over a decade, Les would have taken the money and vanished with it in a heartbeat, and they are broke... any other time it would have been 'yes, we're broke, we'll snatch your arm off for 20K!'.

If Les died in a work related accident the Health and Safety Executive would be involved. The money offered by the company would be compensation and not hush money.
What happened to the mysterious van driver stalking Chesney? Twenty thousand is a life changing amount for his family. I hate that the writers expect us to buy into his sudden loyalty to Les.

If Chesney ends up with twenty thousand pounds, something will happen with the missing van driver that ensures he loses it all. Chesney and Gemma would have nothing to talk about if they were solvent.

I agree that Chesney is being a dick about the money.. This is £60,000 between 3 of them that they didn't know they were getting. And yeah, why is he suddenly all obsessed with Les? He hasn't mentioned him for about 15 years! And it's already been explained to Chesney that they very likely won't win a court battle, because of lack of witnesses or something? Can't quite remember now.

I am also sick of the Lauren and Frankie storyline. I can't bring myself to care about her or him. And yeah, whilst some people rave about DeeDee, I'm bored with her too. She has been on screen FAR too much this past year. So has bloody Kit and sodding Swain. And sorry not sorry, I HATE Swain and Carla together! It just makes no sense (to me.) I can't look at the screen when they're together 'getting it on.' I just can't.

@helgel

If Ches and Gemma remain in the soap it will be interesting to see how the quads feature (if at all) because so far they're all but phased out of the scripts and it's beyond ridiculous. So Gemma has just been on a holiday leaving her 4 kids with a family who work full time. Other than the occasional tee shirt folding and tidying of toys farce there's little sign of children in that house.

LOL that's true. What on earth would G and C talk about if they weren't skint?!

Gobby Debbeh is going to catch Swarla in a clinch...or something....and give their secret away. I hope so anyway 😀

Ooooh yeah, Debbeh will tell everyone! 😆

I really liked it when I saw the article, suits her so much and I think she should wear her natural hair is Corrie

It looks great doesn't it?! Looked really skanky and badly managed before. All split ends and lank and greasy looking. (May have been like that because the character is a skanky mare though. irl it looked OK I think.) Looks lovely now though!

I think I read once that she has a condition that has a name which I can't recall. It may also be known as "candy floss hair" or something. It causes her hair to grow like that, nothing to do with being damaged or anything.

Although I've just googled and there is a syndrome but it's rare and I can't find any link with Dolly. I'm sure I read it somewhere once... unless it was just alluded to on a forum.

I suspect the greasy part is product they use to try and tame it. It does look nicer in real life though, even prior to her getting the chop.

@CellophaneFlower I remember that article too, very tricky hair.

I think the hse was mentioned last night but I can't remember if they were involved or not.
I only noticed because hse here is a completely different thing so I had to think.
I want all the people from five years ago to come back, the main people are now new people. Bring back Peter. Bring back Sharon and her taser. Bring back lovely Jason, he's been away too long.

All Gemma seems to in the house is to continually fold the quads clothes and always with a scowl on her face.The quads are invisible now.
