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

I didn’t understand how Tim made Will have such a sudden change of heart. I think it would’ve been more realistic if he’d got to the airport to find that Megan had scarpered with the two grand. Then he’d have reported her in anger.

Also, how does Daniel keep bagging all these pretty women? He’s the most ordinary man ever - boring and not outstandingly attractive.

and they literally show up at his flat now

Oh @Gingercar I don't know what happened to the lad who had downs syndrome. I don't know why or how he came into it (like, where he came from,) and I'm not sure why he's left. No-one ever mentions him. Like no-one ever mentions that son of Rob's. (Carla's brother's son, played by that lad off Britains Got Talent - Jack something.....)

Bobby

Dreadful character

I was doing my best to forget him

SabreIsMyFave · 13/05/2026 10:06

Anyway folks... I have to pop out for a few hours, so I've made a new thread, for when this one fills up, as we're on the last page now...... See you there later, hopefully. Smile

The end is nigh for shiny faced Megan Trainer! (Hooray!) CORONATION STREET THREAD. Now in mid May 2026. **No spoilers please.** | Mumsnet

So finally the Megan/Will storyline is coming to an end! Sam is still not well though, poor lad... Connor-Swain and Fit Kit are busy trying to find...

Hope has been brilliant this week, she brings everything down to earth. I loved her comment about Will being a dead fast runner and asking Sam if he was going mad.

Lorrymum · 13/05/2026 12:08

I suppose it was cheaper for Will to have his revelation in the back of a taxi rather than an Airport. I don't think Corrie has ever done any airport scenes.

I thought the same. Corrie budget doesn't seem to stretch very far and a realistic looking airport scene may have gone over the few quid they spend (thinking most scenes are in the local boozer/cafe/bistro and a couple of living rooms). The corner shop has always looked very understocked to me and the newsagents is poor too.

Gingercar · 13/05/2026 14:48

Oh yes, Bobby!

Megan still might have run off with the money (and a younger model!). I must confess I thought that was going to happen.

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2026 14:49

Airports do not like film crews. Gavin and Stacey wanted the Christmas special to be filmed at an airport , but they said no apparently. Ended up at a dockyard instead. I suppose it’s the security and logistics of it these days.

No airport scenes? You don’t remember Deirdre’s “pilot” then 🤣

I remember Dev and Gina filming some scenes in Manchester airport when she was leaving him. I recognised the purple swirly carpet they had there back then.

Was he the nephew of that lady Brian was seeing? For some reason I feel like allotments were involved. Her name evades me sadly but she’s Siobhan in Casualty now and used to be Aveline in Bread (back in the olden days). Suppose he won’t come back now she’s gone.

I think Bobby went somewhere with Peter and Our Si, didn’t he?

bizzey · 13/05/2026 19:17

@HidethebiscuitsitsNellie she was Cathy .
He was her nephew Alex.
Her husband had an affair with her sister and it resulted in Alex !

He moved on after Cathy left .

HidethebiscuitsitsNellie · 13/05/2026 19:26

Thanks @bizzey I remembered them being related but very little else!

But he had a uniform and pilots cap 👨‍✈️

Poor Deirdre, she was duped by the tie man.

Why do all the interior scenes always have the table lamps and other lights turned on in the daytime?
Have you noticed?
It can't be for lighting the set, they have other lamps for doing that.

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 14/05/2026 04:08

I also noticed that the milk cartons that they supposedly get from Dev's shop are from Booths!

I recognise the label.

I bet someone just nips across next door to Booths at Media City to get a pint of milk whenever it's needed in a scene!

JellyBeanSpring25 · 14/05/2026 09:11

Closing this one down now

JellyBeanSpring25 · 14/05/2026 09:12

Will we find out whodunnit to Theo??
