Countdown to Christmas 2025! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Christmas is close, 🎄 we've had minus temperatures for a wee while, and the darker days and sunset by 4pm is with us.

Let Undead Becky continue to bore and annoy us! Let nasty Theo continue to infuriate us! Let the potential child grooming storylines shock us! Let Carl Chuckle Brother continue to shag anything with a pulse! (And hopefully dump Abi!) AND let's get ready for Christmaaaaaaaaaas!!!!!! 🎅❄🎄

@SabreIsMyFave DD thought Ollie was making too many assumptions and planning their lives a year ahead and she is not on the same page as him. I think she is going to do a moonlight flit to get away from James and Ollie (can’t really blame her).

I think Glenda has a great role at the moment, doing what she’s best at. I can’t imagine her with a partner.

So the hospital let random undead people visit high dependency patients. And of course Swain believes everything criminals tell her. I got quite excited when Becky started packing…

The Todd actor is so good, great in his scenes with Christina.

Will is a massive PITA, why do they bring in teens like him and Lauren with major issues, we don’t know them so why should we care?

Liam is growing a Becky hairstyle!😱

Why doesn’t Todd leave that horrible man?

Poor Todd is so bewildered he can't act rationally. Theo is vile.
Deedee is going to leave with the baby whose name I forget..layla? And James will have to look after Glory instead if she is still around .

I don't know 80s, it isn't very convincing given all the support he has around him. And he is aware to some extent of what Theo is doing, you can tell from his reactions. Plot reasons, seems to be the answer.

It is also a bit odd that the only thing which Theo encourages him to do - running - brings him into contact with people. Theo spends all the rest of his time hiding an isolating Todd.

Haven't seen her for ages!

Do deedee and Adam still work in the same small offices and is Aliya back there because of some ethical issues after she was in Dublin?

Did Janette kranky get as far as using the syringe on Costello?

It made me laugh when Theo told Todd that he could not see George and Christina as we know he will bump in to them all the time

So what will Jerome Costello say when he wakes up and they ask him who is out to get him? He cannot say Becky Swain as she is dead and he helped cover up the death.

So why is Becky so worried?

Why did she even want him attacked and/or dead ?

what was even in it and why was it just lying around?

Thanks @Shellingbynight for that rundown! (at 22.08.) Makes sense that DeeDee feels Ollie is moving far too quickly. Reminds me of a bloke I was dating at around the age of 19-20... We started dating in the mid September, and saw each other twice a week, and I quite liked him, and he liked me. All good (still both lived with our parents..)

Along comes early December, and I'd been dating him for 2 and a half months, and he was asking me to come to his family's home - for not only Christmas lunch (on Christmas day,) but also to stay, from Christmas Eve morning to Boxing Day afternoon. (With his mum, his dad, and his brother!) I barely knew them. 😆 I'd only been dating him for about 10 weeks. Like heck was I staying for 3 days all over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.

We were only 19-20, and I really loved Christmas, and I loved it with my family. Mum, dad, and brother, and aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents ... We all lived within 2 miles of each other, (most of us within a mile,) and we all saw each other over Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Met up at the local social club, and popped into each others homes. (It was a bit like Corrie!) 😆

This boyfriend lived 8-9 miles away, and I wanted to be near my family at Christmas, and not with his for 3 days. They were pleasant enough, but I didn't really know them, and I would have felt so uncomfortable. He had a small house too, so it's not like we had our own private quarters somewhere! 8-9 miles away seemed really far away when all my family and friends and job and everything was within 2 miles. I couldn't drive then, and buses were infrequent, (to where this bloke lived,) and there were none on Christmas Day and Boxing Day!

Went off on a tangent there sorry. This Corrie storyline just reminds me of that. He was proper miffed that I turned down staying with his family, and got all sniffy and arsey with me. So I said 'I can't be arsed with this. I'm done' and I ended it. Too intense. 😬 And he didn't like being told 'no.' 🔺

.

I think Lisa came in just before Undead Becky City Roller Krankie managed to do anything!

I wish someone would tell us what's going on. 😆

I have no idea of the Becky/Costello link, or why she wants him dead.

Hopefully, it will all come out in the wash soon!

The Todd actor is so good, great in his scenes with Christina

He is. I teared up when he was having breakfast at the table with Theo, trying to sound upbeat about the job interview but he just looked so sad and deflated.

It's so upsetting watching a once confident character with loads of people who care about him become an isolated nervous wreck walking on eggshells all the time

No idea at all why Undead Krankie wants Costello dead. Especially as he was the one who actually saved her from being killed by the faceless unknown 'gang'. She should be grateful.

Is Costello really called Jerome? I have no idea what any of the Swain stuff is about.

It was on the hospital wall!

and if she did want him dead, then why not just kill him rather than have him beaten up, taken to hospital then have to sneak in and find a random syringe.

Along with all her other flaws, she is a terrible planner

Deedee was looking up Singapore on her laptop the other day .. then today she was getting a call on her mobile from a London number .
So I expect a big London law firm have been so impressed with her works in a rundown office in the back streets of weatherfield that she her and Layla will soon be off to a shiny big corporate expat job ..

So first Megan takes money from Will's family,to be his trainer now she is getting a job at his school?

She is asking to get caught

and I think Daniel is going to be getting Sinead's cardi out from the wardrobe

Well she was supposed to be a high flying lawyer in LA before she found her family in a back street in Weatherfield and decided to stay with them, working from a small office in the same street.
I have never taken to this character who I suspect will soon be forgotten about, just like her mother (I have forgotten her name) who mysteriously disappeared

Agreed @nildesparandum

The way Theo said “Cris-teeena” 😱

Another storyline where I zone out 🥱 what the hell she sees in the gawkiest grumpiest childish teenager is beyond me. The way he walked off after having that spat with Liam with the bad haircut (considering his mum is a hairdresser) in those too long baggy trousers was laughable! Would love Carla to get with Kit they’d make an awesome couple just saying 😁
