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 think there is some sort of hostage drama playing out with Todd, Summer and Theo. Maybe Carl will save them by doing Theo in, and thus be redeemed.

That's a point, was Carl ever questioned about being the driver after Debbie was released from prison?

I'm hoping TCTheo got confused with whether he was putting his tiny plank to me or to you and fell off the scaffolding and the coroner will say it was his own bloody fault because it was badly erected.

Debbie still has her conviction. She got released early because of her dementia I thought. So Carl continues to get away with it despite half the street knowing he was the driver.

They never even mentioned how she managed to get out

It wasn't overly flattering I must admit. It was pretty though IMO.Smile

I didn’t like the way the bodice top stuck out

WiddlinDiddlin · 24/04/2026 15:46

I fear we're now going to go down the 'abuse victim is murder suspect' road with poor Todd not getting a break at all here!

luckylavender · 24/04/2026 16:15

I thought Carla and Lisa looked lovely. Betsy less so. She always looks like she needs a good scrub to me

Yes probably. They seem to like putting goodies in prison but not baddies!

Yes, it looked like it didn't fit.

Swain certainly does

Poor old Roy banged up for murder when they did not even have a body

It’s been a stock plot line for decades. Deardrie years ago, Debbie lately. And many more inbetween. You’re nobody on Coronation st unless you’ve had five spouses (bonus points if they’ve previously been married to your spouse or neighbour) , been to jail and had a life threatening accident or illness!

I don't like the type of dress Lisa was wearing. Then again I don't like Lisa either! I was surprised Carla wore trousers because I always think of her in long swishy skirts. I can't get invested in the two of them at all due to my dislike of Swain.

I feel the same. I was desperate for Carla not to get back with her following how she treated her with the awful Becky. I’d like Swain to leave, but I do like Betsy these days - she has grown on me & I thought she looked lovely at the wedding.

Found this weeks episodes quite boring tbh, never been interested in Carla & Lisa.
No matter how slushy and romantic they try to be it never comes across as genuine.
Theo’s getting crazier by the day & still no idea what’s going on with Jodie.
Carl / Debbie / Ronnie storyline is just becoming too repetitive.
Thank goodness for the lovely Rafael . 😀

the80sweregreat · Yesterday 11:46

I agree that Lisa and Carla don’t seem to have much chemistry and hard to believe she’d take her back after sleeping with Becky.

suburburban · Yesterday 11:49

I’m not convinced Carla is bi in the first place

eggandonion · Yesterday 13:11

Carla only loves Peter. I don't understand why she's with Lisa. She's spent her whole life jumping into bed with assorted gents.
I suppose she was covering up her true feelings?

This sums up my feelings about Corrie at the moment too.

Someone mentioned Rafael - who's that?

He is the lovely barman , behind the desk , waiter (he does everything !!) at Debbie's hotel .

zanahoria · Yesterday 22:40

I wish we could have more of Rafael and less of all the panto villains.

I would also like to see more of Dr Gaddas, Deputy Head Crawshaw and PC Jess.
