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

[SabreIsMyFave]

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 Theo's killer, and everyone Todd is close to is taking it in turns to babysit him!

Tim is trying to come to terms with the realisation that the thing he had with an older woman (Trisha) 40 years ago, (when he was 14) was actually abuse...

Shona's sister Jodie has managed to push herself into Daniel's house (and his life,) and seems to flit from place to place, with no actual luggage or money!

I know there's probably more...

I think she looks much better than all of the Korean glass skin brigade

I suppose it’s a combination of Swain being a fairly useless detective and duty solicitors in soap operas always being incompetent, but has no one thought to ask how a tiny little thing like Summer managed to overpower a 6ft plus muscular scaffolder? To the point that she killed him?

With Swain leading this case it won't be solved for 20 years

lol

Ooooh, yes, I HATE that look. I mean, it looks OK on the Korean women, but I have yet to see it look good on anyone else! And it's because no-one seems to be capable of doing it properly. Every single one I have seen just lookes greasy, oily, and sweaty. One of the brides on MAFS UK - last year - had this look all the way through it, and it looked awful...😖 Even on her wedding day she had the sweaty, greasy-face look!

Did magazines in the 70s and 80s not used to give you hints and tips about how to avoid the shiny look? Trends come and go I suppose. Once the make up companies decide they want to sell their next big reinvention the salespeople will need to change their "You'll be glowing!" patter.

I don't remember the articles in the magazines in the 1970s and 1980s @LesserSpottedCharacter as I have never been a follower of fashion and trends, but I have never seen this greasy shiny face look before this past 2-3 years, and I have never seen it look good on anyone - except the Korean women who started the trend.

I'm talking the Jackie here @SabreIsMyFave , that holy bible of how to look good for a boy and practise on your hand for kissing him, should he be so kind as to fancy you 😅

@SabreIsMyFave

Used to love Body Shop little blotting paper booklet for ' shiny skin' - Les Papiers Poudres!

Yes, no trend lasts forever...good or bad!

Oh my days. I do remember those days actually, and those kinds of features in magazines! 😆And there was a manual - from a couple of decades before.. The Good Housewife Guide ... with lots of tips on how to treat your husband well, and how to look after him! Glad I was born in the mid-late 1960s! 😬

So Summer is heading to prison. Fabulous. Another likely innocent in prison due to Lisa. Can’t wait.

So did Tyrone drop that car on Carl?

Is that why he is acting shifty

He is a terrible liar but DS Swain would never notice

Daniel is so thick he could join Weatherfield Police

He would ace their award winning Believe Everything Anyone Tells You training course

I did think Tyrone was the one that dropped car on Carl, after tonight’s episode it seems it must be or why else would he be lying to police about his whereabouts.

Poor Summer, all George’s fault. I would never forgive him.

I love that David totally has the measure of Jodie.

Ah, I quite liked that flashback to how Summer lost the brooch. Wonder if we are going to see what happened with each and every suspect now.

Wonder if it will be another Deidre campaign of free the Weatherfield one ! Still think Christina is the killer

and Daniel totally does not but still thinks he is the smartest guy in the room

He did not even notice she was scamming for freebies when she was straight out saying "where are my freebies"

Whatever happened to Dr Gaddas?? She hasn’t been called upon lately. Maybe she killed Theo🤣

They need to reveal that she is Summer's real mum

Yes I imagine we will.

Next we’ll find out why Tyrone was lying. We’ll think it was him for a while, then we’ll find out it wasn’t. Then we’ll think it’s George, because he was striding up the street suspiciously. And so on.

Where is Carl? I can’t remember. Did he get out of hospital?

Swain can't interview a witness in his home and nobody else there that was ridiculous. And she just believed him!!

I couldn't concentrate after seeing Theo in the flashback with Summer. The lighting, blood under his nose and side parting made him look alarmingly like a 1970s Adolf Hitler impersonator!

Fiz was there, which made it even more ridiculous

DS Swain has more powers than the Stasi

We were laughing at that too.

I actually thought Fizz acted v well in that episode. She’s not very liked on here.

I thought the way Lisa came in and 'interviewed' Tyrone was weird too!
