We're in the middle of the long hot Summer of 2025. CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

You can see half the cast all shiny from the heat and humidity. And probably will for a couple more months yet at least!

Not a lot has changed since the beginning of the last thread!

Nina and Summer had a close shave when the police thought they'd attacked Gary when they were 'tripping.' Turned out it was Lou (who has been arrested.)

Lauren is falling for Aadi (he is cute to be fair.)

Debbie is fairly stable but sadly still has dementia.

Looks like Mick is going to cause trouble again, after being arrested for killing Craig. And Sally and Tim have been taking care of his and Lou's children.

Not much to be seen of the older characters, (I mean - like people who have been there 20+ years, not just the ones who've been there from the 1960s/1970s etc,) and Corrie is a little bit crime, and doom heavy at the moment.

But we do have a few 'light-hearted' moments to keep us going.

George and Glenda are always worth watching, Tim and Steve are funny together. Not fond of Cassie, but am warming to her and Steve being together, (and am warming to her a bit...) Debbie is a star and it's sad that she's ill, and DeeDee appears to be pining for her baby that she has 'given' to her brother James. James is being a bit of an arse to her too. Hope the little girl (Laila) stays in Coronation Street! She is adorable!

Kev has been given the all clear and doesn't have cancer now, but is telling everyone he does. Tyrone has caught him out though, and told him he needs to tell Abi!

Swain has been given desk duties, and counselling, (after the trauma of the death of her colleague Craig,) but isn't taking to the counselling, as she thinks she's fine.

Sorry if I've missed anything!

What I'm currently enjoying is

😀

all the different ways people are spelling

Aadi
Addie
Addi
Addy
Aldi

(the poor lad has always looked permanently nervous and worried but I love him)

It’s football today, the semi final I believe

Why on earth would Michael know who Logan was? He looked at Carla's computer and solemnly told her she shouldn't contact him!

Why didn't Sally tell Lou to sod off?

Fifty grand???

It would be money down the drain as Lou is guilty as sin and not even a 'fancy lawyer' could get her that charge.

Plus why would Sal even want to help a woman she hardly knows, doesn't like and who has just bashed a neighbour

Lou does a very good sad face. The residents often need fifty grand.

I really don’t like the way Theo is with Billy, bad vibes.

Once Gary recovers I'd like him to sort Theo out. Hopefully he will accidentally fall off his scaffolding.

Theo gives me the creeps.
I love Debbie, but most of her scenes just resemble dinner ladies, which is fine.
And ridiculous that Ryan ‘she kissed me’ scene.
it was clearly a quick ‘thank you’ peck. Unless ( and please god no ) this storyline develops and Debbie starts thinking Ryan is Ronnie.

I wish they’d get rid of Bernie. She’s dominated every bloomin’ episode for ages now. I just find her character irritating - a woman in her late 50’s still going on about her crazy wild youth.

At least the woman who plays Bernie can act. I find one dimensional Gemma much worse and her character is all based on lame jokes by the scriptwriters.

Isn't Gemma a bit scummy but hilarious? Look at the way she eats with her.mouth open and licks her plate

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Gemma got together with boring Cheney?

Wouldn't it be hilarious if thet.had quads?

It is the same bad joke all over again and she is played by an actress who has so little commitment to the show that she insists on wearing a ridiculous wig that makes the character look like more of a joke.

If they do not ditch them they will dominate the show by the time the quads are teens and all four will probably develop hilarious one dimensional characteristics turning the show into a lame sit com.

Corrie humour has traditionally been based on subtle wit and clever lines like Debbie delivers, not tedious joke characters

Can't stand Bernie, her wonderful wild youth resulted in her being a rubbish, absent mother. She encouraged Aadi to lighten up.....he really shouldn't have.

I still call them Aldi and Asda, as that's what some with on the Digital Spy forum named them. Very clever, given that their dad has a mini-market.

(Dev doesn't have any other shops now, does he? Just the Corrie shop now?)

Wasn't it Carl who asked Debbie for £50,000? Did Lou ask Sally for the same amount, can't remember exactly what she said.

The scene with Theo and his friend in the cafe was pure amateur dramatics. Dreadful

Oh I know the references to Aldi/Asda 😀 but it's the other spellings of his name which vary so much.

Gawd knows what his scripts have in store for him but I'm not fan of Lauren. She's been through so much heartache but I just can't warm to her at all. 🫤

Hardly a full on snog was it !

Or at least give Bernie a new bag she’s been lugging that one around for ages what’s even in there ! As if Dev would look at her twice compared to the women be used to date.

I probably got confused but Sal should not even be giving her 50p

She is looking after the kids, not Lou

I have no idea where Theo is going.

Is he being drawn back into the church ?

Sally and Tim taking good care of those girls would surely mean they're official foster carers. Or am I wrong on that one? Also they would be receiving payment as fosterers to pay for food and clothing etc. They're not just baby sitting. The sisters have no parents outside of prison. Their brother is like a time bomb and very unstable and unpredictable.

The writers are already getting so much wrong so we can expect worse to come.

Researchers on Corrie seem at best incompetent 😕

I really don't care about Theo and his conversion therapy story!

That grey beard makes Dev look like Negan from The Walking Dead.

Why is Dev completely grey except for one weird dyed brown patch at the front of his head?

I was just about to post this exact comment!

So was I

that conversion stuff was ridiculous

Is this meant to raise awareness of the issue?

I certainly do not feel any more aware
