New thread required, old one full.

Did Spider turn up as part of the protest group that was for some reason wanting to squat in the old brewery? Toyah stole the key for them, but the cunning plot was foiled by Debbie. I think that Spider’s job might be to infiltrate that group, and Toyah being there is just incidental. She’s way too drippy to be a threat to national, or even Weatherfield, security, but that stroppy alpha male looks as though he could be dangerous enough to have resources spent on containing him.

Of course I might be getting carried away here and getting Corrie confused with Line of Duty. grin

I think Debbie is quite a nice looking lady always wears he4 clothes well She is small and neat and looks good with her short hair and big earrings she’s got a gob on he4 though
I don’t see any undercover business with Spider but then I m not very clever at working out plots

Aveline Sat 03-Sept-22 14:44:58

Debbie is annoying. Also she's so tiny she'd not be able to see over the bar counter. I take back my suggestion. Sorry.blush

Aveline

I agree re Spider. More going on than meets the eye.
How about Debbie as the new landlady?
How can we get rid of Stephen before he murders Audrey, blackmails Jenny and bankrupts Carla? Officer Craigie will be kept busy.

???? Oooo! It's all building up for a Christmas Corri Catastrophe!

Doodledog Sat 03-Sept-22 14:16:50

Oh no, she's Kevin's sister - doh!

I don't like her. I hope she doesn't take over the Rovers.

Doodledog Sat 03-Sept-22 14:16:07

Is Debbie George's sister? She could be a good call as landlady.

That's what I was getting at above, but on reflection I don't think that Toyah is a master criminal of the sort that would attract valuable police time to nail her.

The other eco bloke is Spider's friend, and he wasn't anywhere near the cobbles when Spider arrived on the scene.

Namsnanny Sat 03-Sept-22 12:42:08

Yes he could blackmail her into giving him the job of managing the pub (think of the storylines with him and Daisy!).
Then he could embezzled to his hearts content.
Corri always has an evil villain, so maybe Steven will be it.

There have been stories in the press (RL) about undercover cops having relationships and children when 'on the job' (sorry grin).
So maybe the Spider Toyah storyline is going to be something similar?

Doodledog Sat 03-Sept-22 08:06:44

Stephen might put the kibosh on things. He made a coded comment to Leo, and he’s obviously desperate for money. Maybe he’ll try to blackmail Jenny?

Calendargirl Sat 03-Sept-22 06:01:46

Also, Daniel is not doing much at the moment, is he?

Perhaps he and Daisy could be the new proprietors.

Hopefully not Gemma with her permanently open mouth!

Is Jenny really going though? Have never found her latest relationship very realistic.

vegansrock Sat 03-Sept-22 05:32:16

If Jenny departs to Canada who will run the pub? I know Daisy and Sean were keen , but how about Chesney and Gemma ? They’ve got experience in hospitality of sorts. They could do with the income and the quads could hide upstairs for the next 10 years.

Doodledog Fri 02-Sept-22 22:48:09

Yes, that's how I remember it. Maybe his reluctance to tell her he loves her is because he doesn't want to get too close.

But seriously, the more I think about it - I know it's not real and all, but would the police be likely to pay someone's salary in the hope of flushing out a slightly misguided eco-warrior in Coronation Street? There was nothing major going on when Spider landed.

Charleygirl5 Fri 02-Sept-22 21:47:38

I also thought they had slept together and Toya regretted it shortly afterwards.

Doodledog Fri 02-Sept-22 20:39:00

Does anyone else think that Spider might be an undercover cop, infiltrating the protestors? It seems a bit of a leap, but he has been out of the series a long time. And he is pulling some odd, secretive faces.....

Well, he pulled back after telling Toyah he loved her, so maybe I just imagined they'd slept together. I think you're right.

Serendipity22 Fri 02-Sept-22 20:38:54

Have I really seen Jen kissing Stephen ????? Ohhhhhh pleeeease get me a bucket.

shock

Doodledog Fri 02-Sept-22 20:33:21

Yes, she must be mad. I hope Gemma has pulled off her cover story.

Calendargirl Fri 02-Sept-22 20:27:56

Oh yuk!

Poor Jenny kissing the repulsive Stephen!

Maggiemaybe Fri 02-Sept-22 20:22:48

Even if I did manage to call him Israr instead of Imran. grin

Doodledog Fri 02-Sept-22 16:03:47

Yes, I think she did. The fact that the story writers had her consider it, change her mind, then go back and do it dies suggest that it might be significant. I think Maggiemaybe has nailed it.

Calendargirl Fri 02-Sept-22 15:40:16

Did Toyah actually take the stuff to charity though?

I know she was going to, but then couldn’t face it. Did she do it eventually?

If so, the Imran suit idea is very likely.

Grannynannywanny Fri 02-Sept-22 15:19:32

Have I dreamed this up or was there incriminating written evidence in Imran’s possession that would have resulted in prosecution for Abi? I’m thinking I can remember him letting her off the hook and assuring her he’d destroyed it.

Could it possibly be in the suit jacket and used to blackmail Abi and Kevin? Or could I be havering a load of baloney??

Charleygirl5 Fri 02-Sept-22 15:06:00

Toya is bound to recognise Imran's suit.

Has Stephen tried to forge Audrey's signature yet because he has tried every other avenue and is still penniless. I loathe his fake accent and acting.

LauraNorderr Fri 02-Sept-22 13:54:10

Sorry MaggieMaybe that was your call. Very likely too.

LauraNorderr Fri 02-Sept-22 13:51:55

Of good call Doodledog. Pin striped suits were Imran’s taste.
