CORONATION STREET THREAD. We're still in a heatwave, and it's going to be stuffy in that prison for Sarah! Nearly August 2026 already! **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Shiny new thread.

So, Sarah's been arrested for killing Theo, Kit is trying to get her out of prison without implicating himself, (and is desperate to pin it on Gary,) and Gary and Maria are at loggerheads after Gary decided to help Sarah cover her tracks!

Swain is as useless as ever, constantly talking very loudly about any case she's working on, and in front of as many people as possible!

Betsy has had a stroke, after engaging in non-fatal strangulation during sex with Dylan, and Dylan's in trouble for it, even though Betsy doesn't blame him. Sean (his dad) is trying to blame anyone but him, even Brodie!

Most other storylines/characters seem to be fairly quiet at the moment, but I'm sure they will touch on them again soon...

@WiddlinDiddlin thank you 🙂

Yes, I completely missed the pill dust and Ross putting more pills in the smoothie

So did I.

Oh yes Holland I remember that. The actor decided to give up acting and left. I think he went to America. If I remember correctly he was nice looking, supposed to be a builder or plumber or something useful like that.

She was also kidnapped by Nathan's sidekick Mel

Then again by the policeman's daughter

So Bethany has been kidnapped 4 times? Wow. Almost unbelievable! 😂

That's hilarious 😂

Im trying to work out if Bethany is related to Ryan...they could be a nice young couple.
Ray worked with Len who got married to Rita. Jerry worked there too..
I think they were builders. My early Corrie memory is my mother being devastated when Jerry actor died.

Len Fairclough, I remember him. He had a builders yard

The creator of Corrie , Tony Warren, he went round the cemeteries to find names for the characters apparently

Ryan's a bit old for Betsy. He'd get called all sorts on here, not this thread but MN.. She's 18? He's what mid 30s. Too big an age gap for MN

No....not Betsy 😐 Ryan and Bethany.
Ryan is sort of a brotherly cousin relation to Betsy. Although not related at all. Especially since he was switched at birth.
Dylan was OK with Betsy until the choking happened.

I saw Tracy put three pills in, I'm another one who missed Shitlid adding more.

It all makes sense now. Thanks Widdlin.

Poor old Len, he was always known as Len Floorcloth in my house.

Oh sorry, I thought it was Betsy. Yes they would make a nice couple.

Wasn't there some scandal about him? I must look it up.

Yes there was,he was accused of indecent assault of two little girls, he was acquitted but lost his job.

It is gobby Hope we’re talking about she’s more than a match for anyone! Tbh he’d return her !

So Tyrone’s dad has auddenly appeared and no one has bothered to tell his nan (Cassie’s mum) Evelyn ??? Shoddy writing script writers !

Was there not something to do with a swimming pool and the Len Floorcloth (👏) one?

I too missed Ross putting in the extra tablets, they mustn't have shown that. I initially assumed he'd given the smoothie to Tracy to see what happened, I now realise, thanks to you guys😍, he was setting Cassie up.

Oh for the days of the drama from every day monotony.

I thought Cassie looked like a Spitting Image puppet version of herself

😂

She looks as is she’s had a lot of fillers, especially to lips and cheeks, they’re puffy, swollen, hiding her eyes

Interesting bit of info Coronation Street was almost called Florizel Street until someone said in passing It’s sounds like a cleaning product so instead of Corrie we’d have had Florrie. 🤣

I didn't know she was going. I really like her.
