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

You can see half the cast all shiny from the heat and humidity. Grin 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!Smile

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!

I know it's been said before but Steve McDonald used to be a decent actor and his scripts were good and believable but now he's just a gurning buffoon. I watch Classic just occasionally but the difference is shocking and I do wonder how the actors feel. They MUST realise how ridiculous it mostly is these days but their contracts probably give them little choice but to read their lines and act like idiots.

Who'd be a soap star these days? 🙄

Steve was best when Lloyd was there, they were a natural comic duo.

MonickerMonica · 19/08/2025 19:31

Yes I liked Lloyd!

Carl was completely clean shaven at the garage in the morning, but had grown an entire goatee by lunchtime in the caff. He needs his testosterone checking.

Who is Harrys dad I've completely forgotten.

Who is Harrys dad I've completely forgotten.

That dark haired, good looking criminal who was Kylie's ex and also Max's father (I think).

Mollypolly2610 · 19/08/2025 22:24

Thank you

It always amuses me when another Underworld client is announced as invariably they turn out to a be creep, weirdo or just a plain old pervert.

Eli was so arrogant when stopped by Kit who is obviously a complete bastard but all Eli needed to do was say 'yes officer' smile and be polite. It is not just the dregs like Brody who totally disrespect the police on Corrie.

and this sexual harassment complaint is daft, especially if he is putting it in and trying to negotiate a contract at the same time but I fully expect Weatherplod to take it seriously, they seem to have policy of believing anything that anyone tells them even if it is an anonymous phone call

AmusedMaker · 20/08/2025 10:13

I’ve gone right off David now for encouraging Eli to make a complaint about Kit. I know he slept with Shona but she was a willing participant!
Just seems really snide and cowardly.
if you’re that angry David just punch Kit in the face and be done with it. Yes you’d get arrested etc etc but at least you’ve been a man about it.

zanahoria · 20/08/2025 14:40

He would need to find a chair to stand on

or make that a table

zanahoria · 20/08/2025 15:47

Poor David.

At least Gail is in France away from Kit's allure

Although, Audrey may be up for it.

OMG how spooky 🙀

I was just about to talk about Tim's eyebrows!! I've been watching them for years. He looks permanently surprised 🤯 and they're the weirdest eyebrows I've ever seen on man woman or beast.

Nice to see David the dog 🙂

He’s married to Abbie in real life isn’t he. Maybe her already overworked aesthetician offers a BOGOF deal?

Carl’s magic beard has been appearing and vanishing intermittently all episode again tonight.

So predictable plot twist coming up.....Oli is James' date this is Corrie so for unpredictable read very predictable..or I could be wrong.

That's exactly what I thought! DeeDee and James are already co-parenting, why not share a boyfriend as well. GrinEnvy < not envy

digiwidgy · 20/08/2025 21:31

All this police stuff and I am beginning to wonder if I am watching line of duty.

Line of Duty isn't as complicated and twisted as Corrie cops.

That is so obvious, I do not know how I missed it but he was rather loudly proclaiming his date to his sister.

Damn, I was hoping it would be Raphael.

Mollypolly2610 · 20/08/2025 22:31

God help me who is Raphael

Wow, I never though of the Ollie-James thing. Why is he pursuing Deedee though?
