Just got to have yet another thread for us to grumble about our favourite soap, warts and all.

Gail leaving - I think the storyline will build around Audrey somehow. At least that's the way it seems to be going, or is it just a red herring?

I have a feeling Nick and Toyah will be overcome with guilt and decide their affair has driven Leanne to commit the fraud. I think they’ll forgive her and they’ll all live in harmony once again. They’ll just need to decide who’s going to have Nick. It might take a few words of wisdom from Sam to sort it all out.

That’s my prediction for 2025 😆

How is this all going o end? Surely if it comes out Leanne could be charged with fraud? Prison? I can't see them getting rid of her character.

I loved the surprise about Nick and Toyah being on to Leanne's nasty plan. I didn't see it coming. It's ages since I had a surprise at a Corrie episode

Mason becoming a nice boy is like the Jacob storyline, but I like the change, less depressing than the other stories at the moment.

Charleygirl5 Tue 24-Dec-24 07:46:33

I do hope it does and soon. We do not want this trailing on until after Easter.

Betsy is a little brat and gets away with anything. Maybe Carla will sort her out.

Grannynannywanny Tue 24-Dec-24 07:34:45

I’m finding the interactions between Daisy and Daniel rather boring. I wish they’d either get together or stop playing silly games.

I’m at the stage now that I want to fast forward any scene with Betsy. Could she be anymore annoying?

It looks like Leanne’s conniving behaviour is going to backfire in spectacular fashion. I think it’s the only current storyline which is holding my attention.

Calendargirl Tue 24-Dec-24 07:15:25

Betsy is a right little madam. I hope Carla’s influence sorts her out a bit. Her miserable mother seems clueless about how to deal with her.

Mason as a boyfriend is the least of her worries, I would think. He seems quite decent now.

Thank goodness Nick wasn’t taken in by Leanne’s dastardly plan. I really thought he was flipping back to her.

As for Daniel and Daisy….

I find Kit very attractive, pity he’s always up to no good.

How is Jesse going to sort a trip to the Maldives in a day or so?

I thought Nick was being his usual drip, but it seems he had sussed out Leanne!
BTW. Corrie on tonight ( xmas Eve) and tomorrow.

love0c Sat 21-Dec-24 19:12:08

We will have to wait and see ha ha. it is keeping us all entertained even though/if we complain about it! {grin}

Bluebell yes they can but it does not come without risks for the baby. Would you risk your baby when you do not have to or need to?

Dee Dee was planning an abortion so clearly doesn't want Joel's baby. She is only hanging on in case she can help Frankie.

BlueBelle Sat 21-Dec-24 17:43:13

I m not in a soap LoveOc
I wouldn’t be sleeping in a hospital bed that everyone in my street had slept in and I wouldn’t be going to prison with half the street either 🤣🤣🤣

‘Can you get a blood test while the baby is in the womb?
It must be done by a healthcare provider with special training. It's done when other tests or procedures aren't possible or don't work. It can be done at week 18 of pregnancy or later. Fetal blood sampling is done as part of diagnosing, treating, and checking problems in the baby at certain times during pregnanc’

BlueBelle Sat 21-Dec-24 15:55:55

I m sure they can test the baby in the womb they can for downs can’t they ? LoveOC

Calendargirl Sat 21-Dec-24 15:53:21

Too much emphasis on the younger characters.

Max and Lauren (really boring), plus the awful Betsy, Mason, who I quite like now, and snatches of Hope, Sam, Ruby, Lily, ….

Don’t see much of Jack thankfully, or Dylan, even more thankful.

Happygirl79 Sat 21-Dec-24 13:39:42

Coronation street is getting beyond boring. In my opinion the programme is well overdue a decent script writer. We have police and hospital stories at every turn. Everyone seems to be a company owner or solicitor.
It's really gone off the boil. I often switch it off mid programme these days out of frustration yet in the past I always enjoyed every episode. Let's hope 2025 brings an improvement or I will be tuning out completely.

love0c Sat 21-Dec-24 12:23:25

I know it isn't real haha but Lauren said they can test the baby? what, while it is in the womb?

Dottydots Sat 21-Dec-24 11:23:46

I'm looking forward to Gail's wedding but wonder what could possibly go wrong on her big day. I'm sure something will.

I don't think I will ever stop watching Corrie but oh boy it certainly is completely far fetched at the moment.

Chocolatelovinggran Sat 21-Dec-24 11:22:17

I preferred Carla the man eater...
I'm a little bewildered by the DeeDee baby donr storyline. Isn't this all a little previous?
This baby isn't born yet: how long can Frankie wait?

BlueBelle Sat 21-Dec-24 10:44:09

I m bored with the Carla/Lisa stuff already
I m with everyone else it’s getting very boring predicable and OTT really going of Corrie
I ve read somewhere that Frankie isn’t Joel’s after all !!!

Cabowich Sat 21-Dec-24 10:33:43

No, it's not only you, love0c. I think the Carla and Lisa relationship is so sickly sweet and a bit cringey. Carla was a man-eater, for goodness sake - bring the old Carla back!

love0c Sat 21-Dec-24 09:41:40

Is it only ne who thinks the Carla and Lisa is silly? Carla likes men. always has. Got a very daft writer at the moment.

Calendargirl Sat 21-Dec-24 07:30:25

I forgot Corrie was on early last night.

I tuned in at 8, and wondered what was going on, all this about Lisa’s dressing gown and David and Jesse having a heart to heart.

I then twigged, and watched the first half hour on ITV+1.

Another daft episode though. Honestly think we have had enough of babies and abortions, (why did Fiz have an unwanted pregnancy in the script?)

We never hear any more about Ty’s ex GF and baby back in Poland, do we?

The factory staff in the Rovers was ridiculous, and Carla and Lisa plus drunk Betsy were just awful.

As for the wedding preparation and the saga of the rings…..

Grannynannywanny Wed 18-Dec-24 23:32:58

That was a dreadful episode. They’re in dire need of some new scriptwriters. As soon as David volunteered to go to collect the rings it was so obvious his next move would be to meet with Dumb and Dumber and hand them over.

The nonsense with the street’s resident cops just goes from bad to worse. Lisa hanging around the bistro eavesdropping on a conversation like a jealous 14 year old. Then Kit’s vicious assault on wannabe gangster to warn him off. Kit is up to his neck in trouble in every episode. We need our Craigey to sort him out.

Lauren doesn’t come across as the sharpest tool in the box. Yet within a second of hearing Dee Dee is pregnant she instantly worked out the unborn baby could be a donor match.
