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).

I heard Bethany say something along the lines of she would pay Gail back for the loan she had taken out.

Doodledog Thu 10-Oct-24 09:43:47

Gail sold the house from under them, I think. there was talk of this amongst the (naturally concerned) family who all live there, but I don't remember seeing it happen.

Presumably that will free up some money for Gail to go to Thailand with Jessie, and give us some storylines when the rest of the Platts are dealing with the consequences. I wonder who has bought it (or will buy it).

I thought it was David's house anyway?

Calendargirl Thu 10-Oct-24 09:51:53

No one has bought the house yet, I think. If so, it would have been an overnight quickie sale. shock

Gail has taken out a bridging loan to tide things over until it does sell.

Yes, David did own the house at one stage. Was Gail able to buy it back after her long lost dad died and she inherited some money from him?

Thanks everyone❤️

Doodledog Thu 10-Oct-24 09:54:49

Ah, so there is a loan based on the house as security? That makes sense. I did think it was odd, but Soapland operates in mysterious ways.

Beechnut Thu 10-Oct-24 10:07:45

Also what happened about Kit buying Gemma’s house?

Aveline Thu 10-Oct-24 10:55:57

I think he did buy it.

I confess to not having read all 33 back pages, but I still have a trivial query -
What have they done with Bethany's boobs to make them stick up in such an unnatural way when she's lying on her back? Surely even a young slim girl with pert breasts never looks like that!

Doodledog Thu 10-Oct-24 17:41:15

She's had cosmetic surgery, which is responsible for her needing to lie on her back. IRL she is pregnant, which may explain it too, or maybe the actress has had surgery.

Calendargirl Thu 10-Oct-24 17:54:51

Not just her boobs,

Her eyes look ready to pop out of her head.

I know she’s very ill and traumatised, but the huge, staring eyes are weird!

Doodledog Thu 10-Oct-24 18:01:16

Perhaps the surgeon was a trainee grin

ExDancer Thu 10-Oct-24 19:58:54

He wasn't operating on her bust. It rises and falls with her 'breathing' in a very strange way. smile
I think its hilarious, they're trying to make her look dramatically glamorous with her huge vulnerable eyes, pert bust and attractively untidy hair.

BlueBelle Fri 11-Oct-24 06:50:18

She has always seemed very unreal to me I was hoping she was going not my favourite character at all She can take Sarah with her too although Sarah is very pretty but annoying

Calendargirl Fri 11-Oct-24 07:23:56

All these neglected children on Corrie.

No sign of Harry, or anyone looking after him. Ditto Bertie.

As for the quads, no idea how they get to school, with Gemma duveted up on the sofa and Chesney working triple shifts at the kebab shop. Bernie at the caff. Who is doing the washing, shopping, cooking, house cleaning…..

Joseph’s Oakhill school uniform must look a bit scruffy I think.

Yet they all manage to pop into the Rovers, Bistro or Roy’s Rolls to discuss all their business.

Aveline Fri 11-Oct-24 08:39:10

Obviously needing to introduce a resident Social worker to the street.

Cumbrianmale56 Fri 11-Oct-24 12:55:57

Hello, Coronation St will be available from next Monday on ITVX and new episodes will be available to stream from 7am every morning. This brings the soap into a more modern and flexible era like Eastenders.

Calendargirl Fri 11-Oct-24 17:44:54

Corrie has always been available on ITVX.

confused

Cumbrianmale56 Fri 11-Oct-24 18:02:50

From what I read, the episodes will be available from 7am on ITVX, which means people could watch it in the morning.

Aveline Fri 11-Oct-24 20:31:12

Dr Gaddas and 'Miss' Crawshaw sisters?

lemsip Fri 11-Oct-24 20:53:34

Dr Gaddas and 'Miss' Crawshaw sisters?

Just what I thought.

But what would we watch in the evenings then?

To me, Gail and Jesse just doesn’t sit right.

What a shame that all the business with Martin Platt went wrong, whatever it was.

That would have been a much happier, more realistic conclusion to Gail’s life on the Street.

Grannynannywanny Sat 12-Oct-24 07:53:52

I’m finding the Gail and Jesse scenario rather irritating. It’s painfully obvious he’s been shoehorned in when Martin’s return didn’t work out. Surely they could have come up with a more believable way for Gail to make her exit .

They could have done a double retirement and sent her off into the sunset with Ken 😊

I wonder if Cassie will be able to resist the temptation to fleece Ken.

Aveline Sat 12-Oct-24 09:34:16

Och Jesse seems a nice friendly type and the blooming romance seems OK. Let's face it, Gail's made far worse choices in the past!
