New New Corrie thread

I agree that Dev and Bernie are highly unlikely. There have been hints that they are ‘intimately compatible’, but that’s not a basis for a long-term relationship where nothing else fits. Dev has always been such a ridiculous snob - there is no way he’d be attracted to Bernie.

Paul is the odd one out in that family. He does have criminal tendencies, but he’s nowhere near as ‘rough’ as Bernie and Gemma. Maybe that’s because women are held to higher standards than men, but it does stand out.

Going back to Amy, it seems Summer (not the best support with all her own previous issues, not to mention it was her ex who caused all the Amy trouble in the first place) is her only real confidant, although she, Amy, has had counselling.

Surely she would confide more in her own parents? Yes, I know I’m talking about Steve and Tracy, not the most stable of couples, but they both love their daughter and would be so upset to know she is still struggling so much.

When did she go back to Uni, by the way? I thought she had packed it all up and just worked in the corner shop?

Oh, and obviously more drama and angst coming up with Asha and Roy’s niece, whose name escapes me! The shadowy figure of this saintly paramedic, Isla, is going to put a cat among the pigeons I predict.

Paul’s “I need my Mum” at the end of Bernie’s court hearing brought a big lump to my throat.

It was so sad. Even mums like Bernie are still mums, and she does love him. I hope she is spared jail.

If Bernie gets spared jail until Paul dies, she should then serve her time afterwards.

Don’t see why she should be let off indefinitely.

I am confused what happened to David and Maria's barber shop? why is he now working for Audrey in the salon?

I was wondering that too.

I'm not sure that the British system allows people to defer sentences. I think that community service would be a more sensible sentence than jail - she's not a danger to anyone.

Didn't Max's girlfriend smash up the barber's?

It was Audrey's that she smashed up. Max helped her to tidy up though.

When Paul was in the bath and Billy on the floor. Paul's wide eyed expression did make me laugh. He looked so innocent.

Does anyone find Carla boring ?

I also wondered about ‘Trim Up North’.

Did it get closed after the stuffed animal in there injured someone? Did Audrey fall over it?

Does anyone find Carla boring ?

It’s her voice. Sort of shrill and grating.

Don’t think she spoke like that years ago, did she?

Also her coat hanger cheekbones make her look a bit witchy, now she’s getting older.

(Me-ow) 🐱

I've never liked Carla.

Ahh I like Carla and think she fits well with Peter I don’t like Tracy though and don’t think her and Steve are a very likely couple but not as bad as Bernie and Dev

I thought Carla's acting during her mental health crisis was excellent but that was a while ago. I agree she is a bit 'whiny' now.

I agree about Carla; she does look a bit witchy these days. I think her clothes, which are nearly always black, don't help. She does occasionally splash out and wear a brighter colour though. She had a sort of light orange coat recently, which I thought suited her.

I am also wondering about Trim Up North and why they moved back into Audrey's. It's nice to see Max has got over his traumas and is working with his dad. I suppose he's doing an apprenticeship. I didn't understand what sort of haircut Kirk was after. Like Audrey, I've never heard of an undercut. Is that where the top is left long and the sides and back are shaved? If so, surely Kirky's hair is not long enough for that?

And by the way, are Beth and Kirk still separated? Where are they both living?

Beth and Kirk got back together didn’t they?

He forgave her for whatever it was they disagreed about. They still live wherever they did with Peanut the dog, don’t they?

I think Audrey has sold or is selling the barbers shop to pay for her house which Stephen re mortgaged.

Why is Audrey still cutting hair? With the shakes?

Kirk wanted a skin fade haircut. That’s where the hair is longer on top and the sides and back gradually get closer and closer to the skin underneath as they go down until the scalp is very visible.

My husband has similar haircut at the Turkish barbers and last time he went I sat and watched them do this haircut for several men and boys. No shaking hands there! 🤣

Amy’s behaviour was so OTT.

And 4 of them setting out on the protest march!

Plus Audrey’s usual knee jerk response to everything. Did Stephen get rid of Grasmere Drive? I seem to have missed something. So where has she been living?

Poor Nina, sidelined by the saintly Isla. Asha is a fickle little madam.

Stephen only did an equity release on Grasmere Drive. Audrey can stay there for the rest of her life. I thought Stephen had left everything to her in his will anyway and he's got the factory's £250,000. She should be OK.

Shouldn’t the factory’s £250,000 be returned to the factory though? After Probate and sorting out of affairs?

It’s all unbelievably silly. Audrey has suddenly jumped from being a grieving mother who has discovered her darling son is a serial killer to an 80 odd year old hairdresser full of energy 😆
