A thousand posts! How time flies grin

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

That's the one. I've not started it yet though.

Clawdy

What was the book club choice?

It was a Winifred Holtby one, ‘Poor Caroline’ I think.

I haven't watched Coronation St for years, but it interests me how the garments factory is still in business as all the others in Lancashire closed years ago as they couldn't compete with cheap imports.

Having heard about Roy and Evelyn's book club I investigated the book they've chosen. If this two like it then it must be up my street. Have downloaded it.

Yes, without all the 'bed hopping' there would be limited scope for 'love children', paternity tests, anguished secrets and so on that drive the plots in Soapland.

I also think Max is a little toad. He seemed to be improving after his time in Borstal or whatever they call it now, but he's becoming insufferable again. He was in love with Lauren, though, which could explain his behaviour around that. I immediately suspected him of involvement in the Abi photo situation, too. Maybe he is destined to be misunderstood until he grows up.

It’s not just the females who bed hop, now or in the past.

Peter, Adam, Steve, Daniel, Ryan, to name a few.

And of course Ken in his time was quite the lothario!

Charleygirl5 Fri 24-May-24 23:16:10

I also wondered about a phone in his cell and who pays for the calls?

I am losing the will to live over the Lauren saga and the females all appear to bed hop if not now certainly in the past.

I am sure Max is guilty of something. I would like to wipe the smirk off his face.

Roy is still on remand, and therefore 'not guilty' - pehaps this is why he can make calls freely.
Where do the residents of Coronation Street keep their cars? There was a brief flurry of parking on the street when some new regulations were to be brought in. Of late the street is almost free of cars - but of course there must be room for everyone to see and wave at taxis taking the departing residents off to the airport.

Oh, poor little Joseph.

No wonder he didn’t want his posh Oakhill mates to go back to his house and see Gemma with her mouth hanging open, Bernie ‘off for a wass’ and the quads racing round.

The Bistro with Grandma Linda, much more suitable.

no spoilers on here please good to have our guesses of course

Calendargirl Fri 24-May-24 20:45:50

Are prisoners allowed their own private phone in their cell? Roy seems to make calls whenever he feels like it.

I think ghastly Cassie is behind the deep fake videos.

I neither know nor care who killed Lauren, assuming she is dead.

Charleygirl5 Fri 24-May-24 19:12:02

I have a feeling it will turn out to be somebody we know well but would never suspect in a 100 years. At least we will know next Friday for certain.

I agree Dee Dee's boyfriend is high on my list.

BlueBelle Fri 24-May-24 17:34:02

Well I hope Roy gets a big pay out for compensation for wrongful imprisonment
It ll be some boring person we ve never heard of or a friend of a friend of a friend it ll fizzle out

Sarnia Fri 24-May-24 17:20:19

The TV magazine in the supermarket had 'Lauren's killer revealed!' for this coming week. Any idea who this will be? I wonder if Nathan's return might be a red herring. I am going to go for Joel, Dee-Dee's sketchy boyfriend. There is something deeply unpleasant about him. Or perhaps the writers may go for it and it will turn out to be Billy or Craig? Who knows?

Doodledog Fri 24-May-24 13:38:21

Thanks for not spoilering the stories. I much prefer to follow the stories as they are screened than to find out in advance. The fun is in guessing how things will play out and it spoils it for me if I know what's going to happen.

Calendargirl Fri 24-May-24 13:03:20

I have inadvertently read some future storylines.

I won’t spoil it for others! but suffice to say the storylines look to be getting worse!

Charleygirl5 Fri 24-May-24 11:23:42

I have had enough of the Lauren saga as usual it has been going on for too long.

Sarah and Simon are leaving. Will Billy be jailed after Apollo's assisted death?

Is Leanne returning?

I wish the speech would slow down and the words be pronunciated properly.

Calendargirl Thu 23-May-24 12:59:14

Wonder who Kit’s dad was?

No doubt he’ll be waiting in the Corrie wings to be brought out in a future story line.

Grannynannywanny Thu 23-May-24 11:07:17

Maybe it was the camera angle last night but Kit looked at least a foot taller than Bernie. Goodness knows how much he’d be towering over petite Sarah. Dinky Damon was made for Sarah 😊

I wonder who will be the love interest for the rather tasty PC Kit.

I’ve already said-Sarah.

I do hope Simon is leaving, he is a poor actor and his storyline is boring.

vegansrock Thu 23-May-24 06:14:42

I think Simon is leaving. About time.

BlueBelle Thu 23-May-24 05:48:50

I wish they would neaten that creation on Billys face up It will soon join David and Adams hair ….mind you Rowan’s is pretty naff too
Did I read somewhere that Sarah is leaving ?
Bernie has never had a car that’s a ridiculous input they’re on their knees for pennies so so unbelievable and an insult to viewers intelligence
