The old one is getting full, so here’s a nice shiny new one.

Where is Lauren? What is Dee Dee’s chap up to? Is Kit a villainous baddie or a force for good? Do we care?

Post your predictions and observations here (no spoilers please).

Calandergirl there’s a rumour going round social media that because they both (Lauren and Joel) said they had a grandad with the same name Frankie or Francis or something they might be related but sounds way off the mark to me but who knows what might happen in Lalaland

We’ll probably find out Lauren and Joel are siblings!

Lovetopaint037 Thu 08-Aug-24 09:58:55

Curiouser and curiouser! Hope Joel gets his comeuppance real soon so Dee Dee can stop flouncing about and batting her eyelids at him.

Back in the day a friend of mine took work as an extra. The daily fee at the time was the same amount as the weekly dole payment. I don't know about now. The work was advertised at the Job Centre.

In the 60s, I was a film exra for a few days. I was paid £3 per day for filming. The salary at my proper job was £4 per week!

I know someone who is an extra.
Not on a soap.
He is semi retired or retired. Cant quite remember which.

He has give up now.
Pay not great.
Plus he was fed up of hanging around all day to wait for filimg to start.

Oh, isn’t Alina’s little boy a smiley sweetheart?

Looks just like Tyrone too.

Calendargirl Sat 10-Aug-24 07:12:57

If I were Fiz, I would be very, very afraid.

I think Ty is going down a slippery slope….

Sarnia Sat 10-Aug-24 08:31:29

Tyrone is now stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to please everyone and likely to end up pleasing nobody.
I hope someone stops Amy from handing over her inheritance to creepy Rowan.

Calendargirl Sat 10-Aug-24 10:17:21

Why is Tyrone paying for Alina’s hotel bills?

Surely if she has been requested to attend court to give evidence or whatever, her costs would be paid for, probably by us, the tax payers?

And if she went home, only having to return in a fortnight, there would be extra flight costs, so perhaps better to stay until the end?

Oh, I cannot stand Cassie, ‘a concerned mum’ indeed!

She wasn’t very concerned for Ty for so many years.

As for leaving her in charge of the cab office, what happened to Eileen’s switchboard? Just seems an ordinary phone now.

Come back Eileen, all is forgiven!

I agree the baby boy is gorgeous but I thought he looked older than he was supposed to be and also too big for that pram.

What De-Dee sees in Joel is beyond me because he never gives her any attention, his mind is elsewhere and he has a scowl.

pinkprincess Sat 10-Aug-24 22:32:53

Alina will become a resident of the street in no time.
A house or flat will suddenly become vacant, as it always happens.A nursery place for baby and a job for Alina.

Calendargirl Sun 11-Aug-24 06:44:09

Alina could do nails at Audrey’s salon.

Or work in the bistro, as everyone dashes off at the drop of a hat.

Or Speed Dahl, or Roy’s Rolls…..

Or the Kabin, which we don’t see much of now, with just Brian, who we also never see, or Rita, still doing the morning papers at 90 odd.

Or Preston’s Petals, which Mary seems to run single handed.

Plenty of work available.

Aveline Sun 11-Aug-24 07:51:55

Tyrone's wee boy was such a sweetie! I reckon Fiz would fall for him but he'd need to be kept well away from Hope.

If you are desperate for a job just apply for any of those places in Coronation Street!
No trouble finding work in one small street

And you could always be found accomodation too. I like Sean's flat btw. It's very him!

Clawdy Mon 12-Aug-24 08:17:02

Don't forget the knicker factory! Always a job there.

Where is Sean's flat? His and Dylan's leaving Eileen's house and packing their wordly good into a van seemed to be decided and accomplished in about an hour - no mention made at all.

LovesBach Mon 12-Aug-24 09:50:43

Goods!

Calendargirl Mon 12-Aug-24 10:10:00

How did Dylan afford to buy whatever it was he had, some game or similar?

Did he ever turn up for his shift at Speed Dahl?

He didn’t last long with his paper round.

Beechnut Mon 12-Aug-24 10:26:09

I wondered if Sean’s flat was where Craig and Tim’s daughter used to live.

Aveline Mon 12-Aug-24 11:41:34

Sean's flat looks like the one Ahdi and that awful girlfriend had.

I found this. I'm not sure I'm much wiser though grin

Oh, it wasn’t very nice though, was it?

What a rubbish storyline that was, amongst all the others. (Aadi and the married GF with the trout pout lips).

Aveline Mon 12-Aug-24 19:02:00

Sean's decorated it in his own unique way!

BlueBelle Mon 12-Aug-24 19:22:00

Doodledog none of that makes sense to me there are only a few numbers on the map but loads of numbers in the write up !!!!!!

You can filter the map, but it doesn't make much difference sense-wise grin
