I liked Tamwar and his parents Masood and Zainab. I’d like to see them come back but I think Masood is in a relationship with Jane now?

Regarding Gray, he was fine after Ian’s attack as there was a scene where Chelsea visited him in the prison hospital. He was fully conscious and hissing more threats at her. It is weird that there has been no mention of Ian though, even Kathy has just moved on!

The episodes in the last week or so just seem a bit disjointed and the new family members are just recycled past character. Nic’a sister, the one married to Ned, reminds me of Bea. And I think Nic and Ned will end up having an affair - just a vibe I get from them.

Yes I remember the Gray in hospital scene. I'm really not bothered about him either way though tbh!

I had forgotten about Janine. I really feel we could do without her coming back. As much as I'd love Mick to come back it would make sense that his body is found, Nancy and Lee come back for the funeral and Linda decides to move on.

Some really nice gaslighting from Ravi. His character is beyond redemption in my opinion.

How many times are they going to roll out another set of extended family members, who are only going to stay for a while and then become part and parcel of the square.
Still trying to see the point of Jodie.
Rose is definitely giving off Aunt Babe vibes.
Also, how many accidental pregnancies??!
It's bonkers.
And Ravi automatically assuming it's his, just minutes after learning of Max and Priya's fling. Right oh then 🙄

Laughing at Kim's lines "Mr Bingo Balls with his magic screwdriver"
And of course, our lovely Oscar debating whether Cinders would prefer to be called Mummy 😂

I think Jodie is a positive addition, not to make you feel awkward but my DS has Noonan syndrome, it’s a very taboo and unrecognised diagnosis.
It is great to see a character on TV who has a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome.

Ravi is not a straight thinker. Max said they used protection. He’ll start rethinking the dates soon, maybe that’ll be his exit.

@Eastie77Returns

I loved Tamwar (and Masood & Zaynab)…but the actor who played Tamwar is making films and doing exciting things, so doubt he’ll be back any time soon.

Eastie77Returns · 04/09/2026 15:23

Logically, Ravi would have instantly questioned the baby’s paternity. It’s stretching credulity to think he would just take Max’s world for it that they used protection.

mumofoneisonozempic · 04/09/2026 15:25

Haven't watched this weeks but the news that Oscar is leaving surely puts an end to Ben Wadeys reign of terror?

Twitter is a hilarious place, theyre all joking about zoe and kat taking a holiday together to plot his downfall

mumofoneisonozempic · 04/09/2026 15:26

@Eastie77Returns I think the woman who plays zainab masood has openly said she wasnt happy with her character, who was originally supposed to be a Pauline Fowler type

NoisyBrain · 04/09/2026 15:36

MadisonAvenue · 04/09/2026 14:55

@NoisyBrain there’s a funeral soon, not just Zoe's but a second one has been filmed, and Janine has been seen in photos from that as well as Linda. Perhaps Mick’s body has been found?

Ah, that certainly points to it being Mick then. Shame, I was kind of liking the idea of him having lived in France with amnesia for the last few years, then appearing out of the blue with a "Bonjour, treacle" 😂

Shellingbynight · 04/09/2026 16:27

If Mick had been in the sea for four years there would be nothing left to find. But Ben Wadey seems a fan of Scooby Doo storylining so who knows.

Oh didn't know that. I think she was intially a bit like Pauline wasn't she: interfering, judgy and smugly proud of her perfect boys before it all came crashing down when the older one (Syed? he had the most gorgeous eyes) came out as gay and she really struggled with that. I thought she did really well with the storyline.

Yeah she said that ee had ruined the character but I cant remember when - maybe when she was with that abusive guy

At first she was great, and very Pauline fowler, who i miss so much

mumofoneisonozempic · 04/09/2026 21:02

I'm just sat thinking

They should introduce a swinging storyline to the square

Would be light relief and genuinely interesting

Maybe the new couple 🤷‍♀️

Got this idea as I was watching the end of corrie 😄

I wouldn’t be shocked if it comes out that Nic’s real dad was a long lost Mitchell or someone Rose had an affair with and Nicola also has had a fling with Ned historically. Genma will forgive them to hold on to him and Rose will hate her even more.
They will probably end up buying sukis house somehow and run the pub. Not sure how , but they must be doing something with them and just having them hanging around with Nicola won’t cut it.

If Nic's dad is a long lost Mitchell then she will have married a blood relative in Teddy which is ewwww. But Ben and Lola are cousins and had Lexi together so...

I agree the broke family will somehow magically buy a house and/or business as this is the way it works on EE. Ross and Vicky were absolutely broke and owed Sharon thousands then suddenly he bought a van for his handyman business plus they had a huge wedding and invited the entire square. Meanwhile the debt seems to have been completely forgotten.

VivienneDelacroix · 04/09/2026 21:06

@mumofoneisonozempic Do you remember Max and Ian sharing a hot tub? Wasn't that with a swinging couple? 😂

Oh yes, she went out with that doctor who turned out to be a complete psycho.
Can't remember his name but recall Denise dated him as well (of course!) and his death was quite epic as he fell through a floor in a burning house.

Edited

Omg i dont but will sprint to youtube!

Is that around the time dot caught Jane giving Ian a pole dance? 😄😄

It used to be so genuinely funny then

Ha ha !! I literally posted something similar on the Corrie thread .
It looked like the 3 of them went to bed together !!

I know! 😄

Just made me think this isnt something thats been overdone before - could really be fun!

the80sweregreat · 04/09/2026 23:22

Max would be up for planting some pampas grass I bet.

Perhaps Mick survived the sea and then lived an alternative life somewhere before dying. It’s as plausible as his remains still being retrievable after four years so who knows😂

I know Linda is leaving and I really hope it’s with the lovely Clive. I know she has dumped him but hopefully hearing about Priya and Max will bring her to her senses and she gets to sail off into the sunset with Clive (another cruise maybe!) and a Julia’s Theme sendoff.

Shellingbynight · 06/09/2026 12:53

I can't imagine Linda with anyone but Mick. I don't think she can either really. I think she only decided she loved Max because he's so good with the kids, but she will come to her senses and see what a dirty dog he is!

Clive is fine but I don't see any spark. I hope she leaves on her own! It sounds as if she's getting a happy positive exit one way or another.

Eastie77Returns · 06/09/2026 15:54

Yeah you could see Linda melting when Max helped Ollie and he only has to do the bare minimum with Annie and she decides he is dad of the year. Very idealistic and she always tries to see his good side but I think she knows deep down he will let her down.

Bluesandwhites · 06/09/2026 19:11

Up until recently, i thought Sophie who plays Priya would be an excellent comedy actress, as she looks mischievous. However, in recent scenes involving Ravi, she looks tortured with emotional angst, i would not want to be in her shoes regarding her current situation.

If I were in her shoes, it would be a simple decision tbh. Why she wants to keep a baby of Max is beyond me! But then again, I never would have slept with him in the first place - however desperate I may be 🤦‍♀️

Southeastdweller · 06/09/2026 20:49

The actress - Sophie Khan-Levy - can do it all. But I would like to see Priya’s cheeky and fun sides emerge again - maybe after the actress returns from her maternity leave (if she does).
