Can't believe we're on a new thread already. Filling up so fast these days!

Brief summary:

Todd has finally left the dreadful Theo, (after he badly beat up Todd,) but Theo is not keen on leaving him alone (although he has been told to by the police.)

Carla and Lisa (Swain) are planning on getting married very shortly.

Carl has been trying to extort money out of Summer for information, as he knows Theo killed Billy. (Summer knows this now too as Theo cornered her in the shop and told her as much, threatening to 'bury her too.') Summer is - very sensibly - not giving Carl a penny until Theo is arrested!

The ghastly Megan (Trainer) seems to have vanished, so Sam is relatively safe for now, but Sam has been having hallucinations and keeps seeing Will there - coming at him - when Will is nowhere near. Toyah, Leanne, and Eva have tricked Megan into meeting her (by sending a text from the burner phone Megan gave Will, and pretending to be Will...) Not sure what they're going to do when they meet her!

Ben Driscoll has just found out the man he knew as dad is not his bio father, and Jim McDonald is actually his father (so he is.)

The effervescent Debbie is declining a little bit more by the week, but is still in fighting spirit, and is seeing Carl for the parasite he really is. The gorgeous Ronnie is always by her side. Carl has just decided to cause a flood in Debbie's hotel by leaving the taps running in one of the rooms, after she told him he was very difficult to love, and refused to let him have half the hotel after he threatened to report Ronnie to the police for hitting him.

Shona's annoying sister Jodie is causing trouble all over the place! She's stolen Lisa's police badge, and a girl she uses to be a nanny for has turned up. Jodie is not happy about this!

Probably a bit more is happening, but I'm sure it will come up soon. Smile

David and David the ddog are my favourite characters!
Jodie is absolutely psycho.
Will is a scarier version of Simon as a teenager..

Great catch up summary, as always @SabreIsMyFave - thank you.

Looking forward to the big reveal. When we eventually get there 😄

DaisyStarburst · 22/04/2026 15:20

Checking in, I'm here reading every day but as I watch it early on ITVX I'm scared to post in case I forget and post something before it's been on live.

Shellingbynight · 22/04/2026 15:43

Thank you for the thread @SabreIsMyFave
I've watched tonight's and I still feel like they are going round in circles (although different circles today 😆)

JewelleryCat · 22/04/2026 15:46

Thanks for the new thread and good recap!

Same here, DH moans about it, so I watch it early on my laptop.

Megan was on This Morning, very smiley.....but still Megan.😠

I do the same thing, I keep forgetting to check the thread after the episode airs so usually by the time I see everyone's reactions I've already watched the next one 🫣

MaePedwarGolau · 22/04/2026 16:32

Slightly off topic, but there's often talk here about how many residents have been to prison. I was watching classic the other day, just after all the stuff with Valandro's, and I realised that somehow Leanne is one of the few who have never been in prison!

Shellingbynight · 22/04/2026 16:51

@MaePedwarGolau There's still time 😆

GrueyTwoey · 22/04/2026 17:00

I don't really post on here but I do watch Corrie and my favourite current character is angry Gary.
There's just something about him.

I know right, sometimes I go weak at the knees when I see him, especially when he goes all 'hardcase.' 😆

I don't know why because I have never been attracted to 'hard men,' I have always preferred old softies, men who love kittens, men who make me laugh, men who will cry with me watching Titanic!

I'll get me coat! 😆

Yes, which is surprising as she worked as a full time call girl for a few years. 😁

Empress13 · 22/04/2026 17:32

It’s Fit Kit for me with a bit of Ben on the side 😜

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 22/04/2026 17:40

I like Gary. I totally get that and love it when he goes all tough guy. There is definitely something about him 😉But I love Ronnie 😍

thenightsky · 22/04/2026 17:49

Signing into new thread. Out tonight (book club) but will catch up tomorrow morning.

Triskellion75 · 22/04/2026 17:51

Can't wait to find out who dies, the only one who I wouldn't want it to be Ma Driscoll, purely because Pauline McLynn is so good!

Oh yeah, Kit too, as well as Gary! 😆And Ben! Oooooh, and Ronnie! (I'm man-mad me!) 😂

I’m checking in.
Ive watched tonight’s episode early as am going out. Enjoy!

I’d take Kitt but you can keep Gary the cockerel, Ben and the rest.

Myrealnameisbetty · 22/04/2026 18:40

I've never been a fan of Gary but right now I think he's doing good. Looking forward to tonight's show. 🙂

Thank you for the new thread. 🥳

LesserSpottedCharacter · 22/04/2026 18:52

A man once came to do a bit of work outside and as he was leaving he stopped to pet my cat who was sitting on the table. I totally melted. He was wearing a woolly hat too, which I'm a complete sucker for. My knees still go a bit wobbly when I remember that little image of loveliness 🐱

You're all a bad influence, I'm looking at Gary with slightly more interested eyes now. Dammit!

Thank you for the new thread @SabreIsMyFave Smile

Place marking

Deadringer · 22/04/2026 20:07

I think it has to be a combo of Theo and Carl, one the murderer the other the victim.

TheHillIsMine · 22/04/2026 20:37

Will's mum after all. You lot are good.
