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).

The entire Barlow family, Amy, Tracy, Ken, all seemed to think investing £40k in ‘The Institute’ was such a great idea, it only needed a day or so to come to that decision…..

Now it’s all gone wrong, it has suddenly dawned on them perhaps such a quick decision should have been given a bit more thought….

Rowan will doubtless be disappearing with the money ….
I think Deidre sold a house back in the day.

BlueBelle Thu 29-Aug-24 07:03:01

charleygirl I said the same higher up the thread Something about Daisy has changed but no I don’t think it’s Botox or anything no sign of bigger lips she just doesn’t look as stunning as she did

Did anyone else see the interview with Rowan (the actor) He grew up with his mum and dad getting involved in a cult and said it was a big part of his childhood His mum was persuaded by the cult that she shouldn’t be taking medication so she stopped her heart tablets she was on, she ended having strokes and is now confined to a care home he said he was very aware of the danger and was glad to bring it to the public

The Joel story drags on and on but Beth is out of the door before one can blink an eye. Tomorrow she leaves. I would like to think after Kit has been frog-marched out of the force but hopefully leaving Craigie behind she may return after her panto work.

I know I have partial visual impairment but so much is filmed in the semi darkness. Is this for a semi-atmospheric atmosphere? It is not working for me.

Kit is horrible.

vegansrock Thu 29-Aug-24 11:03:19

Yes I heard the. Beth actress has sight problems but is doing a panto. “Going to Norfolk” is a poor excuse for getting writing her out, as if Carla would give her a glowing reference when she’s just been sacked for making knock off t shirts. She should take Craigie with her.

Aveline Thu 29-Aug-24 11:08:32

Oh no. I'd miss her. She's a one woman pantomime herself!

Doodledog Thu 29-Aug-24 12:08:30

What is wrong with Norfolk that there is nobody there who is better able to be a supervisor in the factory than Beth? Is it a sister factory or something?

What do people think is Kit's story? Is he just a bent copper who happens to be Bernie's long lost son, or is there more to him than that, plot-wise?

I am confused by the 'baddies' stories. We have Nathan, Will Mellor (I can never remember his character's name), Joel, Kit, Lauren's dad, Rowan - just off the top of my head. How many of them are linked? We need a Venn Diagram of villains grin

Aveline Thu 29-Aug-24 12:32:58

Could Kit be the father of Lauren's baby? After all he was keen enough to incriminate Nathan. So sad though. The poor wee girl from a dreadful background too.

Doodledog Thu 29-Aug-24 13:21:43

Ooh, that's a thought.

Yes, Lauren is a troubled soul, bless her. Still, if she stays on the cobbles long enough, she'll come over all respectable and be mayor by the time she's 40 grin. Remember Sally, when she was Sally Seddon and even Hilda disapproved of her? And Leanne's dubious past?

I suspect Kit is more villainous than we know, though. I hope Daniel sniffs out his dirty secret before long.

gillgran Thu 29-Aug-24 16:05:29

BlueBelle, yes, I saw that interview with the actor who plays the devious Rowan. It was on the main ITV news on Wednesday, (yesterday).
Interesting in that he has personal knowledge of sects/cults, & sad of how his poor mother was affected.

Just caught a snatch of Classic Corrie today when looking what was on tonight.

How pretty Tracy was back then, and how attractive was Steve?

Calendargirl Fri 30-Aug-24 20:16:01

Well, that’s another departure in the ubiquitous taxi.

🚕

Doodledog Fri 30-Aug-24 20:27:09

It was all very sudden.

I saw Classic Corrie a couple of weeks ago, and the Beth actress was in it playing a policewoman. She was the Family Liaison Officer when Tommy Harris was killed.

Doodledog Fri 30-Aug-24 20:27:33

Yasmeen hasn't been having acting lessons, has she?

Primrose53 Fri 30-Aug-24 20:31:30

Beth going to work in the same factory as Fizz did …..in Norfolk! 🤣🤣. Least likely place in the country for a knicker factory. The only factories here are crab factories.

Doodledog Fri 30-Aug-24 20:32:51

There is a joke in there somewhere, but not for a lady like me😂

Betsy is a little minx and her mother will get a nasty shock, soon I hope.

Paul has deteriorated a lot recently so I cannot see him on this planet for much longer.

I wonder what will happen to Billy?

vegansrock Sat 31-Aug-24 02:40:38

How come Joel is allowed to swan in and out of the special care unit? Also anyone is seemingly able to wander in and out of the factory. Don’t they have doors with limited access?

Sarnia Sat 31-Aug-24 03:51:51

I thought it was too good to be true that the Joel storyline was coming to an end. I have a nasty feeling it will drag on to be the Christmas blockbuster.

Doodledog Sat 31-Aug-24 09:03:40

I hope not, Sarnia. I think we should send in suggestions for the festive episodes. I’ll start with a big white wedding for Roy and Evelyn, who take over the Rovers on their return from honeymoon.

Agreed about the factory and SCBU. They don’t even wash their hands on the way in grin. Now that Beth’s gone to Norwich, and Kit is containing (or contributing to) the cobbles crime rate, Kirkie and Craigie could set up a security firm? Do I get a prize for alliteration in that sentence? grin.

I still feel there will be some sort of affair between Betsy’s Mum andCarla.

Doodledog Sat 31-Aug-24 09:39:00

That looked on the cards a while ago, didn’t it? Long lingering glances etc.

So long as Joel is in the slammer, I don’t mind what they do. Carla’s character needs a new storyline if she’s staying. Maybe she’ll be more watchable with a love interest
