Is it nearly February (2026) already?! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Well, we soared through the last thread again, so here's a shiny new one!

Corrie is pretty much based around the tragic death of Billy at the moment. Bernie is starting to lose the plot a bit, and ended up in a hotel room with a strange man who is the husband of someone Roy has been chatting to. (It's all a bit confusing!!!) Then she ended up unconcious in the ladies toilets!

Todd and Theo are still together - annoyingly - and Carl (Debbie's brother) has just heard Theo blabbing to Billy in his coffin how he's not a murderer, and he should have saved him, and so on. A guilty conscience, or self pity? (I'm guessing the latter.) Carl was listening (conveniently!) and smirked when he heard Theo 'confessing,' but I'm not sure what he's going to do with the information. Especially as shortly after, Theo saw Carl doing some dodgy dealing with some blokes, and he photographed him. So, they now have 'something' on each other!

Not much happening with the Driscolls at the moment, and Ma Driscoll and Eva have called a truce. But for how long???

Shona and David's new little baby (Harper) is still a bit fragile.

Shiny faced Megan Trainer the Siren who has men (and boys) eating out of her hand, is showing an unpleasant, dark side, after practically threatening Sam (Nick's son) if he blabs anything about her and Will.

And Carla and Lisa have inexplicably made up, as if nothing has happened. On the plus side however, at least we have got rid of the dreadful Undead Becky storyline.

Probably some more bits and bobs to discuss, but I'm sure we'll get to them soon.

Sams homework and Kens sideboard are good reasons to keep watching.

Kit is Brody's dad? I've missed out episodes there. Why is Brody living with Sally and Tim?

Christina is great, I liked her getting excited about the fancy Cognac George was given by a widow, have we had a storyline where a widow tries to seduce George yet?

I thought poor old dad looked extremely uncomfortable propped up against what looked like a hard wall.

Jodie’s dad was in a ‘ don’t care ‘ home
All very odd.

Yes he's obviously in a completely rubbish care home! No pillow support and randoms can walk in.

But in more important news, the stylists have sorted out Bernie's bun so it doesn't look quite so ridiculous with her short hair poking out at the bottom.

Bit confused as to what Jodie wants?
Everything Shona has?
Hmm, well David has to be a willing partner and I don’t think he will be.

David should have insight into bad behaviour given his past...he has just caused grief for Sarah in the classics. Todd should have sorted out Theo months ago given some of his previous behaviour.
Writers seem to forget that people have pasts. Nick needs to ask for his lasagna dish back.

David does seem to be questioning what Jodie is up to. I thought he would be the weak link with Jodie, but it turns out to be Shona.

Is it the same actor who played the guy in Rev who wanted to get his balls wet? I didn't know him from Adam until he spoke.

Christina is great, I liked her getting excited about the fancy Cognac George was given by a widow, have we had a storyline where a widow tries to seduce George yet?

@Plantainpusher Christina is that widow! She got over her dead husband very, very quickly and seems to have forgotten he ever existed.

By the way, Shona shoving Jodie into wherever on the street last night and flicking her hair, looking about like she was in some gangster movie - urgh!

I thought Sarah looked like she had a new foundation.

Sarah's hair is blonder than usual isn't it?

At the moment Sarah's hair is more interesting than any of the plots😆

Yes, it came out last summer-ish I think, that Lou - Brody's mum - who is in jail now for attacking Gary - had a bit of a fling with Kit some 16 years ago, and Kit is Brody's baby daddy.

Brody is with Sally and Tim because they are fostering Lou's 2 other (school age) children Joanie and Shanice, as Lou and her vile husband Mick who killed PC Craig Tinker are both in jail.. And Brody is staying there too as he is their brother. (And I think he's only 16-17.)

I know, so much information, it's actually hard to keep up! You only have to miss a couple of weeks and you lose the plotlines on several storylines!

Yes, Sarah's hair is a light-ish blonde, instead of the usual mousy blonde kind of look.

Brody had his 17th birthday about ten days ago. That was the scene where everyone thought Joanie was either Megan or Summer. Probably because Joanie was smiling, and Joanie never smiles!

Brody looks so much older than seventeen.

Also, the woman who plays Betsy is 25

I am dreading Bay City Becky showing up in the prison

@zanahoria I agree about Brody looking older, I thought he might be one of those where the actor is about 28 but he's 20.

Now we've seen Lou I assume that means she'll be back in the Street at some point, I don't think she had a very long sentence? Lou will be Abi Mk2.

I thought he was in a drop in centre for the homeless!

I thought dad was in a hostel as well. They do have pillows in care homes and head boards.
Do Shona and Jodie have different dads or mums ?

I just checked on DS and we are all wrong. He's in a psychiatric hospital. Where I would have thought there would be a LOT of security (if not a lot of pillows).

Oh dear, poor dad. A psychiatrist hospital that’s more like a drop in centre.

Poor Dad would have been more comfortable propped up against a wall in the ginnel.

😂

LOL true!

Most soaps only have one hospital or prison, so undead Becky may well turn up too!
