Freda and the implants for Aled. Now she has kidnapped the little chap to stop the operation. She comes over as the most impossibly selfish woman and I have no sympathy for her. One storyline that has disappointed.

Namsnanny Tue 12-Oct-21 23:03:48

Yes thats right Calendargirl, I like BW in that role. Him and Frankie were always jealous of each other, always thinking the other was interested elsewhere.
Not rating the unconvincing ways of allowing actors to check out at a moments notice for a covid/holiday/fag break, over the last year or so. They stomp upstairs if they are children and come down some years later a completely different actor.

Ready for another GN Corrie installment?

Knowing how easily ones confidence can be eroded by family, Yasmeen has sympathy with Audrey, when she hears about her children 'badgering' her about her age related car accident.

So when she also hears about Audrey's hurt pride over Rita going to another hairdresser, she decides to act.

Wanting to reward Alya for all her help, and support Audrey, she thinks she can kill two birds with one stone and sets up a surprise pampering session for Alya.
with Audrey giving her a makeover.

Unbeknownst to all, Audrey hasn't exactly steadied her nerves over the Imran incident as yet , and is still to be found with a sneaky hip flask of GnT about her person.

On the duly appointed time she packs up all the relevant items and sets up in Yasmeens house. Lotions, perfume the air and warm towels await Alya, to her pleasant surprise.

She sits back and relaxes whilst Audrey performs her magic.

Alyas nails are perfect, her skin glowing. All that is left to do is rinse the expensive organic hair conditioner out of Alya's beautiful jet black flowing locks.

Off with the towel, and SCREAMS and SCREECHES all round.........

Horror of horrors, Audrey has mistakenly put PERM lotion not conditioner on her hair!!!

(due once again to her alcoholic blurred vision, she has picked up the wrong bottle)

Now Alya looks like Frankensteins girl friend, Elsa Lanchester from The Bride of Frankenstein,
Just in time for Halloween!!

Meanwhile......

Billy the Vicar has fallen hard for Dev whose affections have cooled somewhat.

So Billy is always looking for ways to bump into Dev.
The most effective idea he has come up with is to suggest Dev donates out of date food to the soup kitchen he runs.
So he is constantly found in the shop nervously pretending to inspect the wonky courgettes, bent cucumbers, and sprouting potatoes.

But in reality, as soon as he sees Dev his knees go all weak, and all he can do is look into his lugubrious, limpid eyes, sigh and stroke the veg rather suggestively.

Much to observant Dev's consternation.

Things are heating up with Evelyn and Steve,.
Steve, believe it or not brings out the motherly side in Evelyn and she satisfies his craving for being doted on.
Especially as Tracy and Amy constantly take the micky out of him.

As they sit on the Red Rec, watching the dogs play, Evelyn wraps her coat and arms around Steve to keep him warm
An idea begins to hatch in Evelyns head, and she thinks she can work on Steve to set her up in a pet shop or grooming business.

Steve is obliviously on cloud nine each time they embrace, and is agreeing with everything she suggests whilst he is with her.

Not a hint of reality or guilt is allowed to sully their fleeting assignations.

Not even the fact that Booboo who has made a friendship with Cerberus, has been found by Tracy sitting outside Evelyns front door a couple of times?????.........................................

Over to you lot to add your own episodes!

Grannynannywanny Tue 12-Oct-21 23:16:39

Well done Namsnanny you’ve produced enough there for the weekend omnibus episodes?

Namsnanny Wed 13-Oct-21 00:54:00

Thanks Grannynannywanny care to add ideas?

Grannynannywanny Wed 13-Oct-21 01:37:37

I’m not nearly as creative as you Namsnanny. But I do feel uneasy about the new customer in the Rovers who arrived with the flowers for Jenny. It’s a while since we’ve had a serial killer. Could he be Pat Phelan’s son come to collect his ashes? He found out he’s already been scattered on the parlour floor by Todd and his final resting place is in the Dyson.

Jenny and Eileen both fall for his charms. Eileen takes him in as a lodger in her 9 bedroom house along with all the other guests. He needs a job for rent money and Eileen persuades Todd to give him a job in the parlour. He asks Todd on his first day on the job how he can help. Todd replies “You can start by emptying the rubbish from the Dyson!

Oh dear, bad move Todd.

Aveline Wed 13-Oct-21 07:12:45

???

Namsnanny Wed 13-Oct-21 11:57:47

Love it Grannynw especially the ashes in the Dyson. Good plot twist???
Corrie writers eat your heart out??

Namsnanny Wed 13-Oct-21 20:46:17

Sorry to those who like him, but Imran acts like he is in a episode of 'Acorn Antiques' he's all eyes? when he is surprised, and I expect to see a speech bubble when he is thinking ?

Aveline Wed 13-Oct-21 21:43:19

Abbie! Well we didn't see that coming. So much for our guesses!

NotTooOld Wed 13-Oct-21 21:58:52

Surprise, surprise! Imran is more of a love rat than we thought. How will poor Elsie cope with all this angst in her new home?
And what is the new bloke at the Rovers - is it Leo? - up to? Can he really prefer the motherly Jenny to delicious (but annoying) Daisy? No, he can't. Something is wrong, wrong, wrong there. And he so reminds me of Mary's son, the marine biologist or whatever he was. Could Leo be another love child of Mary's? And why has Natasha put all her money in to Gail's sink hole when she could have bought Audrey's hair salon? I know there was a reason but I've forgotten what it was.

Grannynannywanny Wed 13-Oct-21 21:59:08

That was a surprise but I’m disappointed it wasn’t Mary!
This storyline is going to rumble on. Despite his assurance to Toyah that they were careful I wonder if she might be pregnant ?

Grannynannywanny Wed 13-Oct-21 22:02:36

I agree NotTooOld. There is something dodgy about the newcomer Leo.

That was my first thought. Soap scriptwriters let no sin go unpunished, do they?

BlueBelle Wed 13-Oct-21 22:55:42

Can’t see why they are fawning over Leo he’s not exactly a sparkling personality and not really a looker either
Well imran and Abbie !!! They don’t go together do they ?
Poor scruffy scraggy Kevin will be upset and Jack might say ‘oh dear’ in his flat little voice

Charleygirl5 Wed 13-Oct-21 23:08:11

Have the scriptwriters forgotten that Jack had a B/K amputation a while ago? I am well aware when wearing a prosthesis his walking should be close to normal but I am sure he was wearing shorts a few weeks ago. It is not authentic.

Does Sabeen know who Imran slept with that night?

Doodledog Wed 13-Oct-21 23:09:38

It will break Toyah's heart if Imran has a baby to someone else, when she wants children of her own so badly.

BlueBelle Wed 13-Oct-21 23:23:04

But would make a good storyline doodle

Doodledog Wed 13-Oct-21 23:42:48

Yes - the more people who get involved in a storyline the better. It would involve the Websters too, so I reckon it's a dead cert?

BlueBelle Mon 18-Oct-21 21:02:21

Well that was a bit over dramatised could anything else have happened ?
Abi and Kevin plus Corey Dev And the twins and maybe Leanne all going to be fighting for the one hospital bed ??

Calendargirl Mon 18-Oct-21 21:08:27

At least the policeman who went to Corey’s home wasn’t Craig.

No doubt he will be flat out helping in the Street when it all kicks off, with Nurse Aggie single handedly helping the injured, maybe with assistance from Doctor Gaddas, who we haven’t seen lately.

Lilypops Mon 18-Oct-21 21:10:38

Corrie tonight. Halloween party, In the house of Horrors. , Dev,s car crash, Abi with a gun going after Corey, Kev getting clobbered over the head left lying in the road in torrential rain , !!!! What are the script writers on. !,,, unbelievable tripe

Grannynannywanny Mon 18-Oct-21 21:10:59

Nurse Aggie is going have to work double shifts. Not to mention our Craigy!

Kandinsky Mon 18-Oct-21 21:12:16

As if Corey would go back to Coronation St. The place where everyone hates him.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Grannynannywanny Mon 18-Oct-21 21:30:15

Panto season has arrived early on both Emmerdale and Corrie this evening.

NotTooOld Mon 18-Oct-21 22:05:49

And Johnny is off to Bali - or is he? If he is he'll be going tomorrow. It only takes five minutes to organise a trip like that on Corrie. No need to do a wash before you go so you can take clean clothes with you, either. You just pack all your stuff in two suitcases and off you go to a new life.
So who's dead? Dev's boy by the look of things (cue Summer not to get into Oxford), Kevin (that's why they didn't bother to get him a new bomber jacket - he won't need it where he's gone, Leanne, possibly Cory, anyone else?
Btw that set looked suspiciously like the one they used when Shona was hurt - when she had a personality change which seems to have been forgotten about now.
Well, it was totally mad tonight. I kept wondering if I'd strayed into horror film by mistake. Some terrible acting going on.

Calendargirl Mon 18-Oct-21 22:11:06

I think Aadi will have climbed out the passenger door.

And Johnny is doomed never to set foot in Bali I fear.

Is Harvey Pat Phelan’s long lost son?
