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. Smile

We should all go ‘up north ‘and take out Theo! He wouldn’t stand a chance.

I'm in!

Our Craigy is on weakest link tonight

the80sweregreat · 14/02/2026 22:13

Rainbow, hold our wine eh! ? Let’s take out Theo!

Poor Todd, Theo paying him a pound per mile

TheHillIsMine · 16/02/2026 20:35

Don't like fast forward. Pointless.

I didn’t understand that but apart from us knowing Carla and Lisa obviously do get married from that

Awul He's acting like he's bloody 7 years old. Hmm

I was a bit confused by Betsy being in her glad rags in the police station. Then I realised it was a flash-forward. I am also not a fan of them!

The scenes with Betsy are in the future. So fast forwarded.

What’s the point of it being fast forward?

1reason · 16/02/2026 20:50

Dislike the increasing use of these ' plot devices' such as fast forward.
Now we have 2 months to ponder which of the 5 characters dies a horrible death. And whodunnit of course...
I did not recognise Megan in the flash forward parts...does a fringe really make such a difference?!

teambrief · 16/02/2026 20:52

This is utterly dreadful. Another person dead and another who done it. Awful, awful writing.

TheHillIsMine · 16/02/2026 20:57

JewelleryCat · 16/02/2026 20:46

Probably to whip up interest.

JewelleryCat · 16/02/2026 20:57

I’m guessing the reason Megan has a bloodied nose in this flash forward is she hopefully gets found out about the grooming but that’s only a guess by me. Maggie still has a face on her

suburburban · 16/02/2026 20:58

Why doesn’t Todd keep his cash on him

where has Summer gone again

Dontcallmescarface · 16/02/2026 20:58

Well that's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. What a crock of shit that was.

In the meantime, it probably won’t be any of those 5 and someone completely different and a character we actually like

Moonlightfrog · 16/02/2026 21:00

I would happily see any of those characters leave, they are all pretty awful. The story lines have been pretty rubbish lately and the acting pretty terrible.

SabreIsMyFave · 16/02/2026 21:02

Was that Megan Trainer in that weird flash foward scene (the blonde lass?) Looked like a different face! 😬

Why is Tim always such a sourpuss these days? He is not happy at home, not happy in a restaurant.

OnTheBoardwalk · 16/02/2026 21:02

So new head Todd and the others I get. I just don’t get new head Ryan at all with everything that’s going on in classic

i think it’s just I don’t see the connection with Carla as they don’t interact in classic at all

Shellingbynight · 16/02/2026 21:04

Another fancy flash forward/back episode. The producers seem to love these a lot more than we do.

Only three of the supposed victims really make sense. Betsy said something like ‘no one deserves that no matter what they’ve done”. I doubt it’s Ma Driscoll or Jodie. Ma Driscoll is more likely to be a perpetrator, and Jodie won’t die a few months after arriving.

I’m not sure it would be Carl either. Surely he has more storyline to come to when Debbie gets out (and is probably instrumental in actually getting her out). So most likely Theo or Megan, and for me the favourite is Megan, with Ma Driscoll or Will (or both) having dunnit. I can’t really see where the Megan storyline would go longer term.

None of them have been there more than a year, it is ridiculous that they are all centre stage so often

1reason · 16/02/2026 21:07

@JewelleryCat True!
Maybe it will be Mal, another newbie.
Megan did look so different.
Looks like Todd and Theo's wedding should be soon..Theo mentioned giving notice for it.

Shellingbynight · 16/02/2026 21:07

@zanahoria someone on DS made the point last week that the regular long term characters are just there to be threatened/killed/defrauded by the short term guest characters. It's the guest characters who drive the storylines. Which is why Corrie is so shit nowadays.

(I did think Carl did a good 'drunk' today.)
