New New Corrie thread

I guess Rowan is recording Leanne's memories so he can blackmail her. But how did he know she'd have such a grim past? And anyway, her time as a sex worker was not kept a secret anyway?

Am so impressed at those of you who know who lives where! Have watched Corrie nearly from the start, but still have no idea which house is which, or who lives there.

Poor Leanne. The ‘Reality Coding’ sort of made sense, in that you compartmentalised your issues and focused on positive, not negative thoughts or people.

Easier said than done though.

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.

Spider came back from Peru, so where is Emily now? Are we to assume she died?

The Baileys?

Apparently Emily is living in Edinburgh, but this is according to Google.

Yes, I said above that I meant the Baileys.

Thanks Doodle, I didn’t know that.

No wonder Roy has collapsed, has he eaten anything since being in prison?

Whenever they bring him food, he refuses it. The prison officers seem incredibly patient with him.

At least they didn't do a storyline where Roy was harassed and beaten up in jail. Or met Harvey!

Give them time!!!

Nooooo! Roy must be saved.

Nor did I until I googled . I assume that Spider must have mentioned it when he paid his last visit. The character must be getting on a bit now though.

Think we saw Emily, or heard her voice, (from Edinburgh) when it was a milestone birthday for Ken, I think it was him, or maybe Rita or Audrey, a veteran cast member anyhow.

Adam has asked Alya if she’s done something different to her hair 🤣🤣🤣

Not since she arrived on the cobbles

Is she (in real life) pregnant? Is that why she’s going to disappear for six months?

Yes. She's always filmed with something partially blocking her or carrying a cushion or pile of documents.

For me this Lauren thing is dragging on. I do get bored easily.

Alya has wonderful hair - but honestly! Not a hair has moved out of place or changed in any way since she first appeared on the programme.

Controversial statement to make, but I can see Coronation St ending in the next 20 years. Only 4 million people watch it now and hardly anyone I know under 50 watches it. Obviously the soap still has a following, but I can see the day when it gets cancelled.

Did Maria not wonder why Gary smelt of booze when he had been so busy manoeuvring a wardrobe upstairs and missed her frantic phone calls?

My first reaction when he appeared would have been “Have you been in the pub?!!!”

Yes, I thought that - specially as he’d been driving.

20 years is a long time

T hey’ll make a lot of money advertising to the ‘grey pound’ - many older people have more disposable income than their children - and they also show the ‘classic’ version which costs nothing to make and gets the market for funeral plans, charity donations and mobility aids. Younger people don’t watch a lot of tv anyway.

Very few programmes have huge audiences nowadays as there’s so much choice that the audiences are split. They are cutting back on actors’ salaries by charging the composition of the stories which also saves money. I think it’s false economy though, as it loses the community feel that used to define it.

Nothing lasts forever, but I’m not concerned about it going yet.

Neither am I Doodledog

We may be getting near a solution in the Lauren storyline. Bethany is convinced she saw her groomer, Nathan, watching the reconstruction of Lauren's last movements. Daniel is trying to convince her that Nathan is still in prison and she was imagining it. A quick call to Craig should put the record straight.
