New New Corrie thread

Ahhhhhhh so THATS what happened to Toyah .....

Right next issue is the will Todd found .. all i caught sight of was daughter.... my mind instantly went to Glenda and I wondered how the heck can she be Georges daughter but then i read the comments which shed light on my confusion.....

I am sure Toyah's baby's remains will be found and she will want to have a proper funeral for her. I agree, It's a bit stupid leaving a teddy bear there.

Tomorrow night should be interesting (and a tad predictable) but my lips are sealed.

Ah, I see, the Will was Archie's, not George's. That makes sense now.

I hope Roy drops Bobby and others in it for his ridiculous made up story about an intruder in a balaclava. Wouldn’t be sorry to see the back of Bobby languishing at HMP. Wish they would write him out.

But of course that won’t happen, Roy will decide to keep silent.

Another storyline that needs finishing off before we are all sick of it.

And Carla was able to get an immediate prison visit! Thankfully, never had to get one myself, but I imagine you have to apply for one.

Plus Elaine is able to fly out to Thailand at a moment’s notice, just popping a bit of dry washing in her bag at the last minute before the taxi comes.

The wonders of soap land.

I'm always deeply impressed at the way people can 'up and go'. Tyrone's departure for Italy with Fizz was a classic; he decided, got up, put his jacket on and off he went, with current passport and flight tickets literally in hand. What a man. That said, watching people pack might be rather tedious. Would Carla not be able to see Roy at fairly short notice, as he is on remand? As he hasn't been convicted perhaps the arrangements are less rigid - he is an innocent man.

Do you think Jason will be returning? I saw his photo displayed prominently in Eileen's sitting room a week or so ago, and now he is back in the story. Perhaps he will return if he is incapacitated by his back injury.

And they always have their suitcases to hand! In our house we have to get the loft ladder down, move the xmas decs and other boxes of junk and leave them in the fresh air or summerhouse to air off before using them or your clothes have that loft smell. 🤣

But when they leave or are thrown out of their houses they have all their stuff in binbags . I would need a juggernaut to move all my things if Mr Dog showed me the door. (I never know why people just leave when told to - fair enough if you are a lodger, but in a marriage it can't be as easy as just telling someone to go, can it?)

Agreed about Bobby. I have never taken to him for some reason. And I wondered about Jason, too. I suspect he'll come back from Thailand with some story about Eileen having met Mr Right over there, so the house has a Grimshaw in it until Eileen comes back. Unless Glenda gets half the business and George goes over to be with Eileen?

Doesn’t Todd still live at Eileen’s Doodledog, along with George and Mary? ( A Grimshaw). Of course, now Sean and naughty son have left there will be a spare couple of beds.

Todd's still there, yes.

When Coronation Street first aired the houses were two up two down. They all seem now to have bathrooms, but Eileen's house is amazing; Eileen and George, Mary, Todd, Sean and Dylan - where did they all fit in?

Primrose my loft is deliberately empty and the garden shed is so tidy. A pity the rest of the house was not to the same standard.

It is the amount of spare cash each appears to have- Eileen flying off without a thought, meals out, drinks in the pub and many are on the minimum wage.

I ve warmed to Bobby I didn’t like his character at first but he was trying to help though it bit him in the bum

But his ‘trying to help’ was just downright lying.

No wonder DS Swain hasn’t managed to ‘get her man’ with so-called witnesses like silly Bobby on the scene.

Well of course I realise that calendargirl but what I m saying is he did it with his heart in the right place although it all backfired and of course the wrong thing to do
I thought he was pretty awful at first but I have warmed to him a little bit not because of that incident but I think he has started to fit into the part he’s playing

I think the "front room" was used by Sean. At least of rsome of the time.

When Sean first came into Corrie (as Todd's friend) he slept on the sofa in the main room off the kitchen. Jason and Todd shared a bedroom and Eileen had the other. As sons and other lodgers have come and gone there must have been a lot of shuffling of sleeping arrangements.

The 'front room' issue always baffles me. It only seems to be Chesney and Fiz's house that has knocked through, although they don't seem to have gained space by doing so. Since Les and Janice had that house the sitting room has had the front door at one end and the kitchen (with the back door) at the other. Oh, and maybe the Baileys' house, which they renovated when they moved in.

All the others cram everyone into one small room off the kitchen, and keep a whole room for no discernible purpose. I know that in the past people like Emily might have had a 'parlour room' that was kept clean and only used for visitors, but do people really do that now? It seems unlikely, particularly when the place is groaning with residents. They either knock through and have a larger room or use both rooms. The parlour room concept was mainly to save lighting a fire unnecessarily, but now that people have central heating it's much less likely that they would waste space like that.

I know. It's just pretend .

Oh, and one for fact fans - I've just googled, and it seems that the Bishops now have Emily's house. They bought it from Norris, who was given it by Emily when she moved out to live with Spider in Peru.

Yes, the Bailey's house, and also number 7 have been knocked through. Oh, and number 9.
cant even think how lives in number 11

who not how

What on earth was Leanne doing bearing her soul to her?life coach,or whoever he is meant to be? Her confessions of her former life as a call girl/prostitute was being recorded!! It can only be more bad news I suppose. Or is it maybe he is going to use the recording for "training purposes"? Another sad,sorry tale about to unfold in soapland!😟

I meant the Baileys, not the Bishops in my post above. I don’t know any of the numbers apart from that the Barlows live at no 1.
