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!

Yes and Dev is not going to wonder where the missing £6K has gone that she needs to pay off debt? Reckon as is true Corrie stylee Dev will find out on morning of wedding which will then be called off ! Yawn 🥱

She wants to use the money to pay off Aadi’s debt

Lying and stealing from your 'about to be husband'

What could possibly go wrong?

The money will be going to Dev not Bernie. Although the writers will probably work around that by giving them a joint account.

Just after Auntie Rani has parachuted in and she will will look like one of the old ladies from Goodness Gracious Me.

Hopefully it will stop the wedding in its tracks, the Dev Bernie pairing has always been mismatched and Corrie over does the whole comedy odd couple thing, especially with Gemma and Ches.

I'd forgotten all about Dev paying the blackmail amount to protect Asha from being on the Internet. Which she will be - how is Dev ever going to know if the blackmailer is keeping their side of the bargain?

Or was it a legitimate organisation that said they could keep Asha off the Internet? I can't quite remember now.

I seem to remember that it was something like £1,000 a month?

Wasn't there someone else in the Street who had a similar issue, but couldnt afford the blackmail costs.

It was portrayed as a legitimate business and apparently there some organizations that do this but sounds very time consuming and expensive

I don’t like the new Lily change her head but don’t change her personality. Is she still going to be a good footballer?

I said this to my friend last night @EachandEveryone

Lily was meant to be amazing at football. Didn't she and Shona disappear off to some football camp/school in London? All seems to have been forgotten about now.

Lily's football camp was a handy time off for Shona actress maternity leave !

Dramatic new head /body changes need to be gently introduced...not just ...wham bahm ...yes this really is Lily and we all have to believe the head /body /personality transplant...and just carry on as if nothing has changed ?

Can't believe Bernie is willing to start her married life with lies and deception 😮.

Why is she risking her relationship for Addie and 6K .

Just doesn't seem worth it ...

Kev looked very small and frail last night.

The running after the car was either fantastic acting ....or the actor really can't run at all ?

When I mean " can't run at all "
I mean Michael is actually ill himself ☹️

Little Shanice is so cute !

But would Sally really have let her sit with her trainers on , on the sofa ? !!

I adore Shanice, she’s an amazing little actress!

I love her smile!

It is the classic soap thing of lying to cover another lie. If Dev finds out about the insurance, he finds out about fake robbery.

Aadi should have fessed up in the first place, now he is in the tangled web and Bernie is in there with him. All for six grand, which is probably what Dev spends every month on his internet porn detectives.

It is hard to believe that Dev did not keep up with the accounts of his businesses while he was in India.

Yes I thought the same. They do seem to do a lot of sitting on the sofa

Dev will 100% find out, call off the wedding and begin a relationship with Jenny.

I reckon him and Glenda would make a good couple

I thought that Tim and Sal fostering the girls was absurd and contrived but hard to deny that they do make a lovely family.

Does Brody live there too or does he just show up for free food?

Dev and Bernie is such an odd pairing.

I thought that when Tim came in and sat down then took his shoes off. Sally would have everyone removing s6 at the door !

I think the script writers realised that killing Mason off was a major mistake, they should have listened to the experts, us! So Brody is their new loveable rogue, damaged, flawed etc, but will turn it around. He’s been given the chance Mason was robbed of. I like him, he’s a loving brother, think he could develop into a great character.

Don’t care about daft Dev and bonkers Bernie and their wedding. Love Todd, sooner he leaves Lego head the better. Liked David’s chat with Sam, when he told Sam that another option was going in hard, like him and Nick did with Sarah back in the day, and Sam asked how that worked, and David said, “It was Armageddon “ I realised that this is why I still watch it, little nuggets of gold.

You’ve nailed it 🤣

Is anyone else thinking that they don’t really know what to do with Theo? I thought we were gearing up for a domestic violence/coercive control storyline, but now I’m not so sure.

Brody seems to be having a personality transplant too (which is working in his favour).
