Summer (2025) is coming to a close... And we're heading into Autumn! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Continuing from the last thread (Long hot summer of 2025!)

So much going on.

Sally and Tim are foster parents for Lou and Mick's children. (Whilst Lou and Mick are in jail.)

Kit (Brody's bio dad) has been assigned desk duties at work after getting into trouble. Bernie has gone on holiday alone.

Dev has packed Aadi off to India, to live with his uncle Vikram! (As he thought Aadi was out of control!)

Tim has Mr Spock eyebrows. Sally is still a snob. 'It's a top quality hot tub!' 😆

Abi and her comedy lips is having a sordid little fling with Kevin's Chuckle brother Carl. TracyLuv is blackmailing them because she caught them smooching!

DeeDee is (unprofessionally) dating a client.

There seems to be a secret involving Swain's deceased wife Becky that Kit's boss seems to know about, but won't talk about, and it's getting annoying now. (Just tell us Corrie bosses!)

Sarah has helped the factreh make a financial loss after flirting with a potential buyer who accused her of sexual harrassment, and is now demanding a discount, (which has resulted in other buyers wanting the same discount.)

Sorry if I've left anything out!

.

Just said exactly the same to my friend.

Back to old school Corrie, based on friendships and relationships, and no crime talk/actions.

Yep I wondered that too!

The Kevin and Sally scene was great. Characters you care about, with real history together - and really well written dialogue for a change.

Glad it's not just me. I felt a weird vibe between Bethany and Kit too. They do look the same age virtually. Like 28-30-ish. Sarah looks a bit older, like 35. It is Corrie, so they probably will have Bethany and Kit having a fling. Either that or Bethany will shag Carl. Or maybe Kit will shag Carl. Someone will for sure.

Agree!

I thought Kevin looked a bit better tonight. Also Asha looked a bit like Amber. Is Brody getting a personality transplant?

Talking of ages, I thought the woman that Tim got in the taxi was going to be a friend of his mums, not someone he could flirt with!

I am enjoying Amber in Classic Corrie and wish she would come back!

Is Brody getting a personality transplant?

The bad lads often do.

Yes, bad boys are either rehabilitated or left to go full gangster.
Poor Asha. Did I miss a conversation between Dev and a doctor about potential long term damage? That seemed to come out of nowhere.

Is it a deliberate ploy by the writers that not one person can have and sustain a good career unless they have cheated their way to the top to get there? Asha is the only one who seems to have stuck (until now) with her aspirations rather than just choosing a local uni, cheated their exams or died ?!

I think it was a deliberate twist. Dev told Asha she was going to be fine, but I think he’d been told privately and was keeping it from her.

Asha told Dev that she was being checked for possible long term damage, but she sort of glossed over it.

So Brodie was alone in the shop and didn't nick anything?

Loved the ruined celebration dinner, nicely done......

There is always the route of randomly getting a job that you are completely unqualified for, e.g. Bethany and Asha

Isn't Asha doing a qualification in paramedics? Amy and Summer are doing degrees in something.
Most people are able to be builders or mechanics and can magically drive unseen cars.

I think it’s just Dev catastrophising in his own head as usual, being told a small snippet of possibilities and running with it as gospel to the darkest degree 🤔

See, I always think Bethany looks as being about 17/18, at the most very early 20s. Can’t quite get my head around the actress who plays her (Lucy fallon) having 2 children!

Yes, I also thought Tim’s ex from years ago looked a lot older than him. No doubt an affair is looming. Maybe Sally and Kevin will end up back together?

Trisha, after her cab journey with Tim : Ooh, great to see Tim again! I'm going to track him down in Coronation Street this afternoon. He said he was meeting some friends in the local pub. Now what shall I wear? 😂😂

As above, I think the actress who was playing Trisha looked like she's in her early to mid 60s, and he is, what mid to late 40s? I suppose it's not unheard of for 2 people with a big age gap to date, but I hope they're not trying to present them as being the same age, because that would be daft.

How horrible of Tim to desert Sally on their anniversary night, to spend time with an 'ex.' And Tim seemed a bit surprised that Sally was pissed off. And as has been said, how weird that she tracked him down and turned up looking all glam!

I'm gonna be fewmin' if they make Tim have an affair.

.

Just looked him up. In RL Tim’s 55.
That’s probably roughly the age he’s supposed to be in Coronation St. I know Sally’s around 60?

but they both look younger tbf.
so if the ex is 60 ( ish ) that’s not too outrageous.

Tim's ex looked like she was dressed in Bacofoil!

Oh right, I thought Tim - the character - was meant to be younger, like mid to late 40s. But yeah as I said, and you did @AmusedMaker it's not that rare for couples to have age gaps of a decade or more. I think I am just miffed because I can see an affair storyline coming, that upsets Tim and Sally's relationship.

Not a spoiler, just me guessing.

Is she going to be a stalker? Sally and Tim don't need complications with the girls to consider.

Not sure if Trisha looked that old but she had an old fashioned look that doesn't help.

Sal is looking very good for age, especially when sat next to Kev. The actress is 62 but could easily pass for ten years younger.

I think Tim is quite baby-faced, which combined with the bald head makes it hard to see him as being mid-fifties.
