Todd has got a new beau, and he looks like a Ken doll
And it turns out he's got a wife too
Things never go smoothly for Todd do they really?
What on earth is he going to do?

Julie's still suffering with cancer it seems,
and Kev is still ill with it - how sad
Now Debbie's very likely got dementia
Which is really very bad.

New guy Mick and his missus are loathsome
I hope they leave really soon
I want to just grab them and drop kick them hard
So they end up on the dark side of the moon

DeeDee has had Joels baby, but doesn't want her
And her brother's stepped up to be her dad
But I think she's wavering and getting a bit attached
If she gives her baby up she may be sad.

DeeDee's about to take action for the poor treatment she had
When she was in labour and about to give birth
I hope she gets justice and gets treated right
And gets compensated for what she is worth

Dorin is back, he's incredibly cute
And I have to say DeeDee's baby is too (edit by request)
I hope they don't turn into little shits
Like the children in Corrie tend to do!

Daisy and Jenny have proper fallen out
Over the pub and money and debts
I wonder who'll end up owning it and running it
I think we should take some bets!

I think that's most of what's going on! (Sorry if I've left owt out!)

Am I missing something but who's Tracy to go on about Murder!

Jake and Joseph are first cousins, but you'd never know it.

How?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/05/2025 16:18

FeltCarrot · 10/05/2025 16:14

How?

Because Katie (Joseph’s Mum) and Izzy (Jake’s Mum) are Sisters making them Maternal cousins.

Oh of course! I had forgotten about Katie!

bizzey · 10/05/2025 18:59

Joseph and Jake could have had some realty good scenes together...(being little scallywags or something ! 😄)

Not sure if CS have ever had cousin relationships before ?

Cousins can be as close as siblings writers !!

I am aghast at Theo staying at Eileen's the night after he sister had died.

It also makes me cringe hearing Todd lecture young Millie about having to accept her dad as a gay man. Give the kid a break! She has only just got the news and may we'll have been just as angry if her had had a heterosexual fling.

I know, right?! I mean who does that? A cocklodger, that’s who!
But of course, it’s Coronation Street and nobody has heard of Premier Inns.

bizzey · 10/05/2025 19:41

I am just amazed that anyone can actually sleep on Eileen's sofa !

It is teeny tiny !

In Coronation Street, cousins can be siblings.

Max is Harry's brother as they share the same dad but they are also cousins as David is Sarah's brother.

Also the actors who play cousins Hope and Joseph are brother and sister.

stampin · 10/05/2025 22:51

Hope and Joseph are twins irl.

Deedee is annoying, pulling sad faces all the time.

'Here you are James, you don't know her, but she's all yours anyway'.

It's like pass the parcel.

I have always found DeeDee very annoying

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 11/05/2025 01:16

I know that irl Hope and Joseph are twins but they don't look like siblings. He looks many years younger than her and I can't see any family resemblance. She is quite a big girl and he is petite. In fact Hope looks exactly like a mix of Fizz and Tyrone's genes (even though I know Snape is her bio father).

Joseph looks more like their eldest sister April from emmerdale.

I was trying to work out how Simon and Sam are related to each other. They were brothers for a while and both have had had dads that switched between the Battersby sisters.

HurdyGurdy19 · 11/05/2025 08:56

Speaking of Sam, where is he? Is the actor old enough to be doing GCSEs at the moment?

JewelleryCat · 11/05/2025 09:49

Simon and Sam aren’t really related to each other. Different dads and different mothers. Simon is Peter and Lucy’s kid while Sam is Nick and Natasha’s kid. The only common link is Leanne

ArabellaFishwife · 09/05/2025 20:46

Did they have to write that funeral parlour scene like an amateur farce? Obviously Todd was going to have some pretext for running off stage right, to be replaced by the comedy copper

It’s like an episode of carry on funeral directors. Also Tracy telling everyone in the pub about George being carted off for embalming Julie. Who told her that and would she really announce to the whole pub. Farcical

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 11/05/2025 12:32

JMSA · 10/05/2025 03:12

I could be way off the mark here, but did anyone else get the sense that George was a little bit in love with Julie? He came across as being jealous of Julie and Brian. Or maybe that’s because he’s saddled with Eileen!
Also it feels a bit icky to me that her body has been left with him 😂

Yes and that’s why I thought he was trying to put Brian off from declaring his love for her.

When everyone knows that she is a murderer

To be fair I've got a friend in real life who's daughters cousin is also her half sister. Same age too. The dad was sleeping with both sisters, they both fell pregnant around the same time.

Blimey, not even Corrie has done that one yet

I don't know if George holds a torch for Julie, but it was certainly odd him doing her embalming! 😬 (His partner's sister!) I could be making this up, but I don't think that's even allowed... is it? (If it is, it shouldn't be!)

When my DH was in hospital for 4-5 days, having an operation, (some 25 years ago,) a cousin of mine who was a nurse in the hospital he was in, was not allowed to adminster any care or meds to him. She could only pop in as a visitor. Too personal, too familiar, or something.

Re; Julie; the thought of my sister's partner/husband seeing my slightly podgy naked dead body sends chills through me LOL! 😂

I'm amazed the didn't just stick Theo in one of Eileen's bedrooms. Her 2 up 2 down terraced house has 15 bedrooms after all! 😆

I was also disgusted with how Todd just told Theo's daughter that she just needed to suck it up that her dad was gay. WTAF?! Confused

HaddyAbrams · 11/05/2025 21:08

I think George is going off Eileen because he's remembered that's he's actually gay Kenneth and will run off with Todd Grin

I have known 4 or 5 families (over the years) where this has happened. Brothers having babies with the same woman. Sisters having babies with the same man!

Scandalous!!! Shock

But yeah, it does happen. Cousins who are also half siblings.

Why does Theo have to be gay? Why can’t the character be bisexual instead? I know it’d still be hard on his wife and kids but they’re having a really rough time for obvious reasons so that could be a route Corrie could go down. I’m not sure if Corrie have ever had a bisexual character
