A thousand posts! How time flies grin

Post your moans, praise and observations about life on the cobbles on this shiny new thread.

Surely Lauren is dead because it would be difficult to keep her somewhere against her will when the murderer I assume has a daytime job so cannot be watching 24/7. We will find out soon.

I do hope Roy survives.

I did not realise Hope found the necklace in a car she had been supposedly washing.

BlueBelle Thu 30-May-24 05:13:50

Didn’t realise the children were going INSIDE the cars ???
Well it could be any bodies car as we didn’t even know Bernie owned a car so they probably all own cars

Aveline Thu 30-May-24 06:12:24

I'm just so sick of the way this is being played out. I wish it could just be straightforward in the usual way.

Calendargirl Thu 30-May-24 07:08:02

I also didn’t know where Hope found this blessed necklace. TBH, it all jumped about so much..

I watched Tuesday’s episode later as I was out, and honestly thought at first they were re-showing Monday’s as it seemed to be a repeat….

And the times we have watched Roy’s mug of tea being spilt, and the ruined book….

BlueBelle Thu 30-May-24 07:14:52

I agree they don’t need to make Corrie into a ‘modern look’ just a straightforward storyline please that doesn’t go on for years
I do think Emmerdale has the upper hand there they seem to come to a conclusion of a lot of their more dramatic storylines much quicker than Corrie

Charleygirl5 Thu 30-May-24 11:13:12

I have never watched Emmerdale so did not realise they ended stories quicker than Corrie does. There have been so many repeats this week at times I have lost track although Wednesday's episode on the whole was better managed as my birdbrain could follow it better.

We could offer a few good writers from this small forum. I doubt if they would like our suggestions.

I wonder if they have recorded numerous possible solutions to the Lauren story to keep the spoilers at bay, then run out of money and decided to cobble (grin) them all together (running some of them backwards to spin it out more) and are hoping we won't notice? All we need now is for Mike Baldwin to be filmed in the shower (aarrgghh!) realising that the past 20 years have all been a dream. . .

Aveline Thu 30-May-24 13:49:08

Mike Baldwin!!! A blast from the past. If only it was Des...

Calendargirl Thu 30-May-24 19:59:33

Uh oh!

What a load of ….!

Doodledog Thu 30-May-24 20:00:21

We can return to Des, but I just want to say Thank God For That! (unless this is all a dream).

Would Roy's release have been so swift? They didn't give the poor man a chance to shave. Oh, and I think Hope was ill-advised to give the necklace to Mr Murderer😫. i hope we're back to sewing knickers and arguments over barm cakes next week.

Now. About Des. . .

BlueBelle Thu 30-May-24 20:01:45

Well some of you are very clever I never thought of him at all but some of you did

I only started watching Emmerdale this year charley as a friend was telling me bits she was a long time viewer I started watching it and got really into the characters and stories and I really enjoy it sometimes more than Corrie
They re the only two soaps I watch

BlueBelle Thu 30-May-24 20:05:44

I can’t remember Des who was he ?

Doodledog Thu 30-May-24 20:12:38

He lived in one of the new houses with his wife Steph, and then had an affair with Denise Welsh (can't remember her character's name) who went on to have an affair with Kevin Webster and to run The Rovers for a while. He had a boat, which he kept in the back garden, and was a bit of a heartthrob for a while.

Calendargirl Thu 30-May-24 20:15:26

She was Natalie Barnes, a bit of a man eater.

Broke up Kev’s marriage to Sally didn’t she, but think they got back eventually, till the next affair for one or other of them.

Doodledog Thu 30-May-24 20:36:21

Natalie - that's right.

Aveline Thu 30-May-24 20:37:51

Ooh that Des! Gorgeous. Thank goodness I've got Dev now. (Obviously I prefer men with short names) grin

Dev, Des, Del. . . Here's another pinup for you, Aveline.

sodapop Thu 30-May-24 20:54:09

Think Des is going to be in Doctors soon.

Devorgilla Thu 30-May-24 21:07:01

I'm contemplating another scenario in the Lauren saga. What if Kit planted the evidence in Nathan's van, not because he has the hots for Sarah, but because he is part of a grooming gang.

Also, I wonder if Max is hiding Lauren somewhere and that's why he had the hair dye etc. But why would he let Roy take the hit? Perhaps he thought Roy would be questioned but then let out as too farcical for words that Roy would do it. I believe that Lauren is still alive.

Roll on the great revelation.

Aveline Thu 30-May-24 21:25:11

Doodledog how could you include Delboy in the glorious gorgeousness of Des and Dev?!
It's all getting a bit complicated. At least we know who did it now but what will happen next. I hope Hope tells someone about that necklace.
Also hope Roy has a wash and brush up!

Doodledog Thu 30-May-24 21:30:08

We are going to need a new thread soon. Shall I start one, or would someone else like to do the honours?

Calendargirl Thu 30-May-24 21:32:43

I still don’t think Lauren is dead either.

Does DS Swain ever blink? She has this piercing stare.

Not keen on DC/DS Kit, he seems a wrong ‘un.

Sarnia Thu 30-May-24 21:32:45

I was right for once about the identity of Lauren's boyfriend. I won't mention it in case others haven't seen tonight's episode. It's still going to drag on though.

Charleygirl5 Thu 30-May-24 21:32:56

It will take another 6 months before the real killer is identified and I will have died of boredom in the meantime. Will he keep the necklace as a souvenir that is how he will be caught but as yet I do not know why or how they will be able to search his house.

Hope could have made it easier.

Kit is involved somehow but I have not worked out yet what he has done.

A few more posts to go to get to 1000 though.
