Not much has changed since the start of the last thread - only been about 4 weeks since the last one was started.. So...... Following on from the last thread...

Carl hasn't been in it much this past few weeks, but still, no-one seems to be able to take him down. He's done so many bad things!

Mal is still dreadful.... and has just been beaten up by Kit (and tried to blame Dev,) but I think his game is up now Daniel heard him laying into Bernie (who he's been stalking!) Hopefully the stalking story is over, and Mal can leave!

Ma Driscoll was horrendous - but she is less horrendous I think. (Growing on me a bit.) Grin Kit is still fit. Ronnie and Kevin's new double act hasn't advanced much 😆 (I was enjoying their bad cop/bad cop routine too.) Jim McDonald died recently, and it emerges that Ma Driscoll had a bit of a thing with him many years ago, when she had her son Ben! 👀

Debbie is still in prison. Not seeing much of her at the moment. Hopefully we see more of her soon!

Hope is still cheeky as ever. Grin

Big story at the moment is Todd and Theo have just got married. They split up for a few weeks after Todd had just had enough of him, but Theo concocted a plan to make Todd miss a race he had been training for, and got back into Todd's head (and bed!) Then Theo railroaded Todd into a 'surprise' wedding, as he hadn't cancelled the booking at the Registry Office. Theo is really cruel and abusive to Todd, and poor Todd is just so beaten down by it all. Hopefully this storyline comes to a close too, because it's horrible watching Todd suffer, and also frustrating!

We also have Shona's sister Jodie popping up every 5 minutes, just working in the cafe, and offering her babysitting, and giving long lingering looks to David. And Tyrone who had been hit by a car that Carl was driving seems to be walking all of a sudden after spending the last few months in a wheelchair. Oh, and a baby has been dropped off at Carla and Lisa's home by a woman claiming it's the baby of the prison guard Carla's brother Rob was sleeping with. They just took her and are looking after her now - obviously. 😆

Mucky pervy Megan Trainer has been arrested for having a 'relationship' with one of her pupils, (Will Driscoll,) but Will is denying anything happened, so will they be able to do anything? Toyah, Eva, and Leanne have joined forces to try and bring her down. Especially as she has been blackmailing and bullying young Sam - Nick's son - as he can see her for what she is!

Phew.......

Sorry if I have left anything out!!!!!!! 😬

Was Kylie Lily's mother? I've forgotten who's kid is who's kid. I know Max was Kylie's but not David's.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:07

I did laugh at Lily’s spots. I know that sounds mean and it’s a big deal at that age , but they looked so false.
Poor Todd. He genuinely looked in pain didn’t he :(

SabreIsMyFave · 17/04/2026 21:18

@the80sweregreat I thought that for a moment about Lily's spots, (that they look hilariously fake,) but I think she may have had a spot cream on them? (Which made them look the size of pennies?!) Grin

@thenightsky Yes, Kylie was Lily's mother? Smile

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:21

We didn’t see a close up of Lily’s spots did we! I loved how dismissive David was. My mum was the same with me at 14 , but she did stop me putting a dab of dettol on them once as someone told me it would dry them up! Spots at that age are awful though :(

SabreIsMyFave · 17/04/2026 21:23

Jodie giving that tablet to Lily LOL! And it looks like she's driving a wedge between David and Shona. We just know the predictable affair is going to happen. It's only a matter of time!

Poor Todd having a panic attack going back to the flat he and Theo share(d.) I hope this is a sign he won't go back to Theo. ' I have to say, I find it impossible to believe that Eileen would not come back to support Todd.... (Now that she knows what has happened...)

As for the Ma Driscoll affair thing, the whole 'Jim McDonald's me daaa, and Steve's me brutha' thing (from Ben) is growing tired quickly.

Also, Ma Driscoll clearly deeply dislikes Lauren, why does Lauren not just leave? No offence to barmaids, but that job can't be that hard to get? (Or something similar, in hospitality?) And I am sick of her miserable, pouty face now, and the silly smug look she has when she sees someone getting a dressing down or being embarrassed, (like Ma Driscoll being humiliated by Ben in front of everyone in the pub.)

As I said earlier, Kirk is so annoying and pointless now, (IMO.) He gets on my nerves. The 'daft village idiot with an IQ smaller than his shoe size' image is just tiresome now. The character needs axing (again, IMO.) Nothing against the actor, but I think the character has gone as far as he can go now. Should have gone 5 years ago really.

All the people at the pub are horrible arnt they!
Mardy Lauren, Ben who always looks drunk , Eva trying to hold it together, Maggie glaring at everyone. I don’t know why any of them flock to drink in there.
Ben also sounds and looks a bit like James Nesbitt.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:28

Kirk is annoying isn’t he.

SabreIsMyFave · 17/04/2026 21:33

He was a bit ridiculous tonight. 😆 Why do they have to make him so daft - and thick?

OP posts:
SabreIsMyFave · 17/04/2026 21:33

Agree about the people at the pub, nearly all annoying/horrible!

OP posts:
AmusedMaker · 17/04/2026 21:34

Agree about Kirk.
they’re actually making him worse. Wasn’t he walking backwards a few episodes ago?
completely pointless character.
( I wonder how much he’s getting paid? )

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:37

Kirk has been in it a while, his probably a millionaire by now! .. he was walking backwards for Christmas the other day!

TipsyPeachSnake · 17/04/2026 21:40

I really enjoy Corrie and love all the characters that people are hating on, even Kirk! His character has not changed since he started which is unusually consistent for a soap. Someone like Kirk could never change IRL though.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:41

Mind you, the way they give away free drinks, I think I could put up with Lauren’s scowl for a free pint or two !

I did a quick Google search ... Apparently Kirk - Andy Whyment - earns £125,000 a year.

Lots of young teens wear pimple patches now, stars, circles, all sorts.

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 21:47

Never heard of pimple patches! I used to use creams and toothpaste.
Not bad money for acting on Corrie then! Good for him !

That’s not bad considering he’s not a main character.

I agree. Quite decent.

And Steve got yet another free pint tonight. I've really started noticing the free drinks since it was mentioned on this thread.

Bloody hell! He only pops up every three months, makes an idiotic comment and then disappears again. He probably only has to go into work about two weeks per year.

TipsyPeachSnake · 17/04/2026 21:54

I thought they didn’t earn a salary, they are paid per episode. Mentioned on some podcast.

He’s family now

the80sweregreat · 17/04/2026 22:00

I’d play Kirk for that money .! I can walk backwards and eat the hot pot. The change of sex may raise an eyebrow though ! ( and change of age )
