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...

I am struggling to forget him and his precocious grand daughter

I don't have enough brain cells to store Stu. Or Geoff and all that. I liked Annie Walker and Bet Lynch. And Terry Duckworth.

Oh god, I couldn't stand Stu and his fucking guitar. I watch telly to get away from RL.

It looks like Nina is working up to going elsewhere with all these phonecalls.

Fingers crossed re Nina.

Isn't she off to Whitby?

The Goth capital of the universe

Whitby, to run an art gallery. Apparently, her friend says she’d be perfect for it. Where/when has Nina managed any business? She did costume design at college, not art! Why would she perfect for this job??

Lily should tell Lucy her mum was murdered too

They could be best mates

Sam can join the club too

Lucy is really annoying me

There's no build up to these stories. Characters suddenly appear, with no background, and they have major storylines..who cares??

I don't care about Lucy, or her mother, or her father. We don't know who they are or anything about them. Road to nowhere story.

And didn't Sally say she didn't want to even entertain the idea of fostering once the girls had left home and it was Tim's idea. Then she got dumped with the Joanie and the other one, plus Broadie. She should have nipped this in the bud with a firm 'no' to taking Lucy.

Perhaps Richie and Sarah will be released and then get together

It will be like the Brady Bunch of self defence killers

I think Lucy killed her mum. Not the dad. Another load of characters dumped on us for no reason and yet another murder.

Boring isn't it

The social worker was prepared to dump a disturbed teenager on Sal without even asking her

So very boring, yes.

I don’t get the Idris attraction. He’s got a strangely shaped face somehow.

What has Lucy been in? She looks familiar.
Im laughing because Lucy has twice overheard Sally and Tim discussing her, it’s just caused a row, yet they immediately started discussing her again the second she went upstairs!

And what’s going on with Sarah and her strange new best friend in the prison?

And what’s going on with Sarah and her strange new best friend in the prison?

She's a fake friend. She gave the nod to that woman who, I assume, was the one who gave Sarah the messed up face.

I don't like that prison woman. Lucy did injure Jodie which is good I suppose. Jawsephs mum died in a car crash I think so he could be a motherless child. Nina should stay and help them all along with Summer. So many orphans.

Also not loving Sarah's new mate in prison. Something shady about her but I can't articulate it.

Can't stand Lucy! Her voice is awful, so screechy, and I don't think she's a good actress. Sort of overacts/over-eggs things. Maybe she just needs to cut her teeth and get some practice in and will be OK eventually.. Betsy (Sydney Martin) was a bit average to start with (remember the Betsy lamb nickname she had on here, as she seems to baaaaaah when she was sad/upset,) but she's really blossomed...

.

They've gone too far with all the murders lately.

I think overkill is the word.

🙄🙂🙃

I was impressed with the range of emotions on Lily's face last night when Lucy was being an arsehole.

Tim has gone from being a mostly happy go lucky not quite dim to full on serious counsellor in about a week. What a transformation!

I struggle to hear what Lucy's saying. I'm the same with the new Bergerac so have given up on him, not that he was getting much of my attention anyway.

Apparently Idris was in Game of Thrones.

What's happening with Tyrone's father's hair now?? Well done to the PP who said the photo would be found (sorry, I can't remember who said that). Fiz knows.

So is Cassie presumed dead? I mean presumed by most of us? I know the actress is off screen currently as appearing on stage in Annie but I'm reading that she's not returning to Corrie. Yet another challenge for the writers to come up with a believable conclusion which surely can not include one more murderer to add to the ever growing list.

🙄

That's a fair point @Myrealnameisbetty , if Cassie was capable surely she could at least respond to Fiz saying she was safe but was keeping out of shitlid's way, although as we all know he was the one in the wrong in the first place. It was ever thus, I suppose.

Had they wanted to kill her off she could have had a medical issue or accident rather than yet another storyline taken from The Bill's waste paper basket.

Sarah’s new prison friend on definitely dodgy and up to something!
