Its Christmas 2009 in Corrie

[tefal]

Here is Australia.

We're coming back to the UK in August so can anyone give me a rundown of what they remember to bring me a bit up to date.

Carla is just back after Tony's confession.

The Barlow's are in a battle over the new bar that whatshisname and Leanne want to open.

Dev is behaving like a prick over the twins and the new bloke in Sunitta's life.

Castings are taking place for the Charity Cinderella.

We're even further behind in NZ.

Steve has just dumped Michelle and proposed to Becky.

Ken has just kissed canal-boat lady

Carla has cleared off and sent in some other bloke to run the factory

Sunita is back with Dev
Tony's held Carla, Maria, Hayley hostage - he is now dead
Simon ran away to blackpool
Steve and Becky can't have children, so are adopting
Gail was in prison - She is now free
Molly is pregnant with Kevins baby

I was just going to post that you are ahead of us in NZ. I think it's Easter 2009 here.

Ken kissing canal woman the other night put me right off my tea.

eek!

Why did Simon run away and is he ok?

Surely Steve and Becky can't adopt as they both have criminal records?

Why is/was Gail in Jail?

We were that far behind in NZ too but a few months ago they upped the episodes so we now get 1 hour 5 days a week. Way too much to keep watching everyday with family etc.

Caught up 6 months very quickly though.

Eh? 1 hour 5 days a week? In the NZ I'm in we get one hour 3 days a week

And we're still behind Oz. Carla and Sunita aren't back here yet.

• Why did Simon run away and is he ok?
  He ran away because he overheard his grandad George plan to take him away from Peter and go and live with him

• Surely Steve and Becky can't adopt as they both have criminal records?
  That's what I thought, but it seems to be going ahead

• Why is/was Gail in Jail?
  Joe tried to fake his own death on his boat, but it went wrong and he actually did die. Gail got accused of murder and met Tracey Barlow in jail.

Can't remember the rest or the finer details. Have a terrible memory!

This explains everything from New Years Day 2010 - Until tonights UK episode.

Hope that helps!

Sorry whatshesaid! Confused myself there too. In Oz the eps have been upped to 5 a week of 1 hour each so we were 1 year behind but now just 6 months.

Sorry, tefal, I probably sounded a bit harsh there! I was just wondering how I'd missed Corrie being on 5 times a week when I'm a huge fan! But you were talking about Oz.

I didn't know they actually showed it there, they didn't when I was there for a year (but that was 14 years ago!)
