Heading into February 2025. CORONATION STREET THREAD. **NO SPOILERS PLEASE.** :)

[SabreIsMyFave]

January flew by in the blink of an eye
Leanne and Steve are getting close
Cassie is drugging Ken day after day
Dose after dose after dose

Abi witnessed Mason's very sad death
She's struggling to keep it together
Carla and Swain are still an item
I wonder if they'll last forever

Bethany and Daisy are always at war
Over Daniel I know what a surprise
Gemma and Chesney are off on a trip
And Nick and Toyah are making us roll our eyes

Kevin may have cancer that's all that he needs
But Tim and Sally seem sound
Amy seems troubled I hope she's OK
And with Leanne and Tracey, mischief is abound

David and Shona are always on their toes
Scared of Harvey's heavies coming at them
Eva has left, will a few more will leave soon?
Will things be quite different by the next full moon?

All the old regulars don't appear much these days
Or any funny storylines or good feeling
It's just like The Bill with all convicts and thugs
And crime and violence that just leaves us reeling

Daisy is pregnant but who's the daddy
She doesn't seem to want to know
I wonder if we'll ever know or she'll keep it a secret
Now that she's decided she is going to keep it!

DeeDee's still pregnant I think but she's gone quiet
Lauren's been cleared of her 'crime.'
Debbie's still sassy, and Ronnie's still sexy
And Kit is in Corrie all the time!

!

I had to look it up, Carl is Kevin and Debbie's half brother.

Does Max have to fly via America to Belize, will he need a visa? It sounds a bit unlikely really. 🤔

David played get away driver for that dodgy bloke, for money to pay Harvey off. He's now offered him another get away job! So Max will be on the run and David in prison at this rate!

Why didn't Max just say he took his hoody off for a kickabout with some mates and it went walkabout.

Nooooooo, instead he goes on the run!

Even though security seems to consist of one lovestruck, deluded screw 😂

Hmm, I wonder if Gemma's new pal's husband will be mysterious van man? I'm not having it that that storyline is over.

Ooh @CellophaneFlower I hadn't even thought of that! Did she follow Gemma into the shop or was she already in there. It was a bit of an odd way to introduce a character out of nowhere!

Yes, there's definitely a storyline coming up for her. If it is to do with van man I just thought it would randomly come out after they become besties... but you could have a point, she may be targeting Gemma 🤔

How did the police magically find a hoodie in the factory bins and know it was linked to the fire?!

Yeah, I wondered that too. I felt like I'd missed half an episode or something... Why did they even look there? 🤔

Abi and Debbie's portraits were brilliant! 😆

I thought this and also that they'd have searched earlier. They knew it was linked due to the CCTV though I guess.

I'm guessing the insurance won't pay out if Max is suspected of starting the fire? Maybe Audrey will finally have to offer to house some of her family at last?

Max is a really dim criminal, he always gets caught. The producers aren't much brighter, they have effectively written out what should have been a major developing character for the next decade. Which is fine with me because I couldn't stand Max - maybe they couldn't either! Maybe Lauren will decide there is nothing keeping her in Weatherfield now, and sod off too. Fingers crossed😆

Really depressing that they are now involving David in the constant criminal activities on the Street.

@Shellingbynight

Max is a really dim criminal, he always gets caught.

A diminal?

I'll get my coat......

😆Perfect, that's Max!

There are a lot of diminals on the street tbf. The fact so many get away with their crimes though must make the constabulary.... errr, @SabreIsMyFave , help please? 😂

Well, just take one look at Craig... and Swain... 😆

The only way you get to be a cop on Corrie with a functioning brain is to be corrupt!

Yeah I did think this as I was typing that 😂 Although Craig is technically both dim and corrupt 😂

Swain is quite on the ball I feel... until it comes to her own daughter. Is she about to become corrupt too? What was she looking up regarding the Rob thing... I couldn't be arsed to pause and move to have a closer look. I'm assuming she's going to look into his case and find some loophole that means his trial was unsound? Surely she'd just make him think this is her plan rather than actually do it though and he wouldn't be stupid enough to take her on her word?

I note that they've kept the rob character true to form. Showing glimpses that he's lovely deep down but then he switches back to being selfish again. IIRC he was the same with Tina's murder... her fall was more an accident and he felt bad but then bashed her over the head anyway to save his own skin.

Weatherplod have managed to actually solve a crime!

That does not happen often

DS Swain is certainly no Craigy but her interviews are hopeless, lots of random nonsense that prove nothing and then she locks them up anyway. You can almost see her brain trying to think.

I am disappointed with Carla that she has forgotten what her new girlfriend did to poor old Roy.

I still think my storyline is better... Rob escapes, with both kidneys, gets hit by a car (Swain perhaps or deluded screw) whilst on the run. He's in a coma and brain dead and Carla gets his kidney anyway due to him having signed the consent forms. That would be so apt and satisfying! They should have gone with this before he was actually going to go through with the op for early release though.

Rob with one less kidney and still being stuck inside for life is still quite satisfying though I guess.

Swain on the ball? The same Swain who locked up Roy for months with no evidence? 😄 One of the other cops mentioned she wasn't very good but was tolerated because of her late partner Becky who was brilliant.

She has to become corrupt surely, they all do. Whatever she's doing she'll muck it up and get fired and end up working at the factreh.

Of course you're right Craig covered up the incident with Emma. And he's forever leaking out confidential info.

Ahhh but she didn't have the insight we do about Roy. He didn't do himself any favours by cleaning up a blood splattered "murder" scene for a start. Did he even comment on the blood... I can't remember? As I do recall when it was found they said it was unlikely Lauren had survived due to the amount 🤷‍♀️

Abi's painting was hilarious 😂

Samir's Kidney II - Electric Boogaloo

Roy's arrest was daft, there was no evidence and no body, but this is Corrie where the cops rely on magical thinking!

I'd like Rob back on the Street with however many kidneys he likes. He was a much better class of villain than what we get nowadays, complex and likeable and a good actor.

And Rob being released would be no more daft than most of the current plots😆
