Another new Corrie thread

Luckily a taxi was waiting, ready for her to jump in and make a quick getaway.

Hope she had some money to pay the fare.

It was frustrating that Lauren didn’t take the chance to scream for help while in the hospital and then she disappeared in a taxi. Presumably this means she wants to vanish yet again. Easy for her as she’s invisible to all cctv cameras .

At least, the male nurse had a conversation with her and they’ll eventually piece it together and confirm she’d visited Roy. It might need supercop our Craigie to visit the hospital to establish the facts. I wonder if sullen teenager and daughter of DS Swain will be instrumental in Joel’s downfall. Carla might then reward her with a managerial role in the factory .

Lauraorder I wonder if you’d think logically if you were locked in a room with a man who tried to bash your brains out
🤣🤣🤣

How sensible of Sarah, thinking that there might be an intruder still in her flat, to walk around calling 'Anybody there?'

Apparently the actor who played Martin Platt is returning to Corrie Street for Gayle’s final weeks.

Fair point BlueBelle.

I’m fed up of the now regular theme of ‘bad uns’ in the street. We now have three altogether at one time, there’s Joel, the sullen daughter of D S Swain, and the policeman who is the long lost son of Bernie. All in a few yards in one small street.

A lot of the problem is there are too many writers so there is little continuity. A couple of writers who spoke and planned would make for better episodes.

DC Kit doesn’t seem too busy with any real police work. Either sitting in the cafe or at the pub. And just strolling about when he is at work, seemingly picking and choosing which ‘jobs’ he will deal with.

Will it turn out he is somehow related to the police officer who Craig got sacked (or whatever was mentioned last night?)

I couldn’t recall what that was about, but no doubt he will soon be blackmailing Craigy about his cover up with Faye and Emma and the old man’s death.

How long ago that seems! And we thought the scripts were bad then!

Too many blackmail stories - Rowan and Toyah, Betsy and Carla, Kit and Craig.......and probably some I've forgotten!

Poor gormless Craig. He never learns.

Betsy is a little minx obviously

I agree.

Corrie has morphed into something it never used to be.

It’s a wonder DeeDee can breathe in that tight belt tonight.

She (Dee Dee) seems an odd shape from certain angles.

The wedding day is doomed to disaster.

I hope she doesn't marry him. It's looking like he might come a cropper (which will save a Cropper) soon. I'd like to think so.

I'd like to think that Lauren will be safe soon. I don't like the storylines where young people are so vulnerable. We haven't seen or heard from Liam lately, but that story was upsetting too.

Betsy is a little madam.

Maybe the wedding will be interrupted by Swain marching in to arrest him after Lauren comes clean!

Oh, I do hope Roy shaves soon. His beard is awful.

Is it me, or is Carla’s voice getting worse? Surely she hasn’t always spoken in that piercing ‘squawk’?

Her voice is rivalling that woman on the One Show, who also has an awful screechy voice.

(And no, I do not have lovely dulcet tones, I’m sure, but I’m not broadcasting to the nation!)

Oh yes. Roy looks dreadful. He must shave soon.
Re Carla I do remember her quacking what sounded like, 'Carla Barla' as she answered the phone. That was ages ago too..

Thought last night’s episode was better than usual?

Glad Roy is going away to recuperate. Let’s hope he comes back refreshed and clean shaven.

I assume that was Mason unrolling a sleeping bag in the alley? Wouldn’t he be going back to his family?

Gosh. Well spotted that it was Mason. I certainly didn't!

Not me.

I’m in favour of soaps dealing with social issues up to a point, but this does seem a bit too neat if they are bundling homelessness, drugs, sex work and bullying together - and that’s without the Machiavellian control of the likes of Joel.

Yes Stu saw Mason in the alleyway Such a lot happens in that alley
Oh Roy please get rid of the beard it’s not a nice beard at all Is he going out for a reason I mean a real life reason ( stageshow or something) or just a rest after a big part
I don’t I understand why Lauren is trusting Joel I d rather sleep in a doorway

My heart sunk last night when the odious Marcus appeared. Being Corrie I suppose someone in the street will take him in and he’ll soon be a reformed character. Stu has already noticed him. How long till he offers him a bed and a job in the restaurant.

I mean Mason not Marcus!
