Another new Corrie thread

Lauren not Laurel, mixing my soaps.

I forgot about his first wife and that he had a daughter.
He’s a frightening character. A likeable, ordinary bloke with a successful career and then this seedy, sordid, violent other side to him.
I don’t understand why Laurel didn’t take the hand he offered and walk out of the family room with him and then scream blue murder in the corridor.

Oh boy. Just watched it. Not comfortable viewing. Makes you wonder about his first wife. Remember, he had to go to meet his daughter for the first time. Very odd.

I've just caught up with last night's episode. It was quite powerful. I hope DeeDee doesn't marry Joel. He's a very definite baddie.

I also hope to see Roy back on his feet and serving barm cakes very soon.

No, it’s not real Maggiemaybe, but seeing as the vast majority of the somewhat depressing storylines are based on the world we seem to inhabit nowadays, we can be forgiven for feeling that sometimes.

I just can’t imagine how this storyline is going to progress, but I hope it doesn’t drag on too long. I hate seeing Roy so bullied and troubled.

And then we have Mason coming back, so I guess there’s more bullying to come.

Yes, I do know it’s not real!

I too, like vegansrock thought it strange that with all the publicity about Lauren’s disappearance, the social media coverage etc, that no one, including the bus driver and passengers, remembered a blonde, bleeding, dishevelled, weeping young girl that night. Did she grab a coat? It was February after all. I think she would stick in your mind. And then when she was begging for money, did no one wonder?

🤷‍♀️

Despite the story flaws it was a good episode, Lauren & Joel were very believable.

I thought of her sitting at the rear of the bus, bleeding and dishevelled and nobody including the driver said a word. The writers skip over the obvious so at times it appears to me to be ridiculous. If Joel had beaten her so badly she would have been crawling out of the last, not running.

That's so true, vegansrock, hadn't thought of that!

With a pregnancy it’s bound to drag on. It’s strange that after Joel beat Lauren up, she managed to run covered in blood, borrow money, catch a bus in Manchester and no one helped her or remembered this when her missing posters were everywhere.

There was some very good acting going on, it was well done by them both and I hope we have more and it doesn’t drag on till Christmas !

That was the best episode in ages. I hope Lauren doesn’t disappear again for weeks and nobody will believe Roy. My heart was pounding when the lift door was closing and the hand appeared at the last second 😱

Is that it now until next Monday?

Yes I think so

Is that it now until next Monday?

It was excellent - well done Corrie!

Very well acted by them both powerful episode tonight

Is tonight’s episode just going to be a Lauren/Joel two-hander?

He morphs between Pat Phelan and Hannibal Lechter.

Poor DeeDee, her dreams are going to come crashing down.

Beechnut I would think that closing down the access to credit should be part of the leaver process, but what Bethany has to do is phone the bank (and/or her previous employers) and tell them these are fraudulent transactions and the card is stolen and let them sort it out. Trying to get hold of CCTV and even talking in a vague way about getting a loan to pay it back is crazy but I guess it keeps the Lauren story going.

Would a company really let you keep a credit card when you leave them😳and wouldn’t you hand it back anyway or at least cut it up😳

Corries on tonight ( Tuesday) but that’s it for the rest of the week

Thank you. I wouldn’t have realised.

The sooner they are brought down the better, GNW. This is a daft story and has already gone on for too long.

I wondered last week if Amy was going to turn undercover journalist and fake an interest in the institute to infiltrate their ranks. Then do an exposé in the student mag or radio station.

However, she appears to have been taken in by the nonsense. Hopefully she might come to her senses and join forces with Toyah to bring them down.

I’m glad Nick returned to work.

I was wondering who on earth runs the Bistro?

Nick and Leanne often seem to be elsewhere, Toyah off sick, you never see ‘Chef’, whoever he is, and Amy who has been there all of a fortnight seems to be left in charge at the drop of a hat.

So Toyah is going undercover to get more info on the institute. Only a matter of time then before the Nick/Toyah embrace photo comes to light.
