Cassie's walking around with her tail between her legs, as Ken rumbled her nasty little game. Tracey saw through her but few others did, and Cassie's attempts to fool Tracey were lame. Hope still wants to be friends with her nan, but no-one wants Cassie around. She wants some love and friendship and support, but there's really very little to be found.

David wants someone to kill him so his family will be looked after. He wants someone to hit him with a car, these storylines are getting dafter! Kevin's got cancer it appears to be spreading, which is really quite worrying and sad. Rosie and Sophie haven't made an appearance yet, are they not worried about their dad?

Carla had her brother Rob's kidney, he's in jail for murder, under guard, but the guard is his girlfriend, and not be trusted, so escaping from the hospital wasn't hard. Abi's still struggling after seeing Mason killed, but trying to pull herself together. Her portrait of Kevin was a sight to behold, Debbie thought she'd be laughing forever.

Carla and Swain are still loved up, and Eileen's sister Julie's shown her face. She says she's got cancer, how awful if she has it too. Seems it's turning up all over the place. Leanne and Toyah's story has quietened down a bit, and the institution's in the past, Daisy's telling Daniel he's the baby daddy but he's not, I wonder how long the lie will last.

Jenny's about to be kicked off the deeds, at the Rovers against her wishes. Daniel's bailing her and Daisy out, and wants to make Daisy his missus. Max got a chunk of time in jail for setting fire to his house. And Dylan's incarcerated for possessing a knife, but is keeping as quiet as a mouse.

The Baileys have dwindled, and DeeDee where is she? Ronnie's still about, and easy on the eyes is he! I've probably missed something important I expect, and I'm sorry if I've missed something out. It's hard to remember everything and everyone, and make sure you don't miss nowt!

I think Bobby went back to Grandmas where he was living prior to moving in with Carla.

Daisy gave Shona the money from what Daniel gave her to pay for the pub - she made that decision without actually consulting Daniel, because Shona could land both her and Daniel in prison over the whole drunk driving/stolen car/crashed car/hit and run on Shona incident, where Daisy covered for Daniel as he'd lose his career if he were found to have driven and crashed a stolen car whilst pissed. Daniel is unlikely to argue the toss there!

Yep, Gary owns the factory, which might explain why he appears to have no proper job!

Yes.... 40k for a broken arm. Makes 5k for sugar in the tank seem like a bargain 😂 Can't wait to see Jenny's face though!

CellophaneFlower · 09/03/2025 06:21

It's actually quite disgusting that shona has done that, thinking about it. David has just killed Daisy's baby... and now she's had to pay them 40k for the pleasure 🙄

Daisy has done some vile things to get money too

Soaps are meant to be about community, Coronation St used to be, this lot just rob, cheat and extort money out of each other.

And they all say they are just doing it for their families like people should empathize. I just find it plain grubby - more depressing than the murders.

zanahoria · 09/03/2025 07:33

If they need money they should get one of those brilliant jobs that just magically appear for unqualified candidates. Bethany keeps getting them. Alya has walked out of hers but Yasmin will tell her if she hears of anything while she goes off to become a modern day William Wilberforce down in that London.

Shellingbynight · 09/03/2025 08:13

Oh yes that rings a bell about Gary and Rick. It was one of Gary's nice guy phases (I suppose we forgive him for killing Neelan, at least it ended that storyline). He was dealing with Rick's 'customers' out of the shop wasn't he? I think the contents of the shop were house clearances.

How does Gary own the factreh? There was some palaver about giving the employees 'shares' of it but I don't remember how that connects to anything.

Yes, agreed.

Almost everyone on Corrie is criminalised, even ‘nice lads’ like Dylan and Jack, and central characters like Daisy, Daniel, David, Shona. And the police force are corrupt, and invisible Harvey runs rings around everyone.

I expect Daniel thought £40k was a bargain to stay out of jail.

He used to own the building

Shellingbynight · 09/03/2025 08:36

I have just been reading wiki, and Gary used the furniture shop to launder the money when he took over Neelan’s loan sharking empire, so he wasn’t in a nice guy phase. He was constantly skint back then (and constantly lying).

I still can’t see where he managed to buy the factreh though. He tried to and there was a huge drama over the roof falling in, Robert and Shona getting shot, but it didn’t result in him owning the factrehConfused

Shona is an absolute mug. Anyone will half a brain would have left David ages ago.
It's so predictable that he would fuck up his own suicide, as everything he ever touches turns to shit.

It was not the best thought out plan.

I laughed when Kit just swanned in and told him they had captured his mate as the driver on CCTV.

They could have picked a better spot or asked the assassin to wear a balaclava

WiddlinDiddlin · 09/03/2025 14:26

Gary used Rick Neelans money to buy the factory, to hide that it was him buying it (at that point Nick owned it), he used Derek, in debt to his loan shark co. as a front. Derek bought the factory then tried to keep it... so Gary kidnapped him... and some other shit, and so on and so forth and now it is his.

I think he was let off the hook over the roof as it turned out to be someone elses responsibility... but i forget who or why.

Carla owned the factory at that time. Gary sabotaged the roof to get the work but she couldn't afford to get it done so she ignored his warnings.

Greentableleg · 09/03/2025 15:21

Not sure how David and Shona will be able to look Daisy in the eye after the last few days. Hopefully we won't have to hear about Harvey ever again!

and the criminal behaviour is normalized, cheating and blackmailing your neighbours is just everyday stuff that they do. The opportunity is there so they take it.

Shellingbynight · 09/03/2025 17:56

@WiddlinDiddlin As we've gone done the factreh rabbit hole, I googled some more and Gary owns the land the factory is built on, but not the factory itself. The factory is owned by Carla and the worker shareholders.

I doubt the land ownership gives Gary much in the way of dosh, he must have an actual job but no idea what.

"In 2020 Nick sold the Underworld land to Derek Milligan - who was working for Gary Windass. In order to pay his debts to Gary, Derek gave the factory land to him."

WiddlinDiddlin · 09/03/2025 19:27

Ahhhhhhh that'll be why he wasn't responsible for the roof then!

JewelleryCat · 09/03/2025 20:13

Because he owns the land, will he get rent from Carla or not? That’s very confusing, owning the land but not the factory. I had a look and Fandom says that Gary’s job is debt collector

NCTDN · 09/03/2025 20:41

Oh yes Carla paying him rent sounds familiar.

NCTDN · 09/03/2025 21:50

Not corrie but has anyone watched Sam aka Chesney on dancing on ice?

Shellingbynight · 09/03/2025 22:04

He would get rent from Carla but it wouldn't be big bucks so he must have a job (which we never see him doing). Then again we hardly ever see anyone at work nowadays unless they work in t'Rovers or t'Bistro. (Edit - or the police station obviously!)

Wiki seems out of date, Gary surely hasn't been a debt collector for years. I agree it's confusing.

No I don’t watch it. Is he good?

Shellingbynight · 10/03/2025 08:03

He won last night.
I saw about half an episode of DOI this year, but never saw him skate.

JewelleryCat · 10/03/2025 08:40

He won? Good on him

SabreIsMyFave · 10/03/2025 11:02

I stopped watching 'dancing on ice' a couple of seasons ago, because I got bored with it. But I'm so pleased to hear that Sam Aston won it! Good for him!
