Yes, Corrie Again!

It would be better for Lauren if Frankie was not Joel's, but I expect he is. Could change though.

I agree, the storylines are getting worse. Gemma looked horrendous- the hair/wig was too long and dark.

I cannot understand why Joel was not Frankie's father. He sexually abused Lauren often enough.

Corrie was like watching a car crash tonight. David's ridiculous story about being mugged had more holes than a Swiss cheese. Chesney's stupid revenge and as for Carla and Lisa in the Bistro!

I thought Jesse took the money from David’s house?

What on earth did Carla look like in that outfit and Beatle cap? Stylish??? Not in my book.

And her client was not my idea of a hunk.

And Lisa butting in!

Who writes this rubbish?

We on GN could do so much better.

They're absolutely fine in their roles. Entirely appropriate. RADA types would be all wrong.

Gemma was not at her best tonight - the hairdo is strange and looks what it probably is - a wig. As usual she was shouting, and finishing sentences with her mouth hanging open - those poor children.

Gemma is never at her best.She is a terrible actress.Tyrone and Craig hang their mouths open at the end of every setence as well.
Corrie producers, where are you getting your actors from?

As you said LovesBach ‘could provide’ so she shouldn’t feel any obligation to bring a baby into the world she doesn’t want.

I see a twist here - Dee Dee, being a highly intelligent lady, will realise that her baby could provide the necessary transplant for Frankie; she may then feel obliged to produce said baby. That baby, if Dee Dee really doesn't want to bring him or her up, could then be just what Joel's parents need to deflect them from trying to take Frankie. However, will Lauren reveal that Joel isn't the father, thus leaving Dee Dee free to have an abortion - if it's not too late by then? Given the speed of the storylines of late we may find out by Christmas 2025.

Why do you all think the baby isn’t Joel’s?

Have I missed something?

Well if you have missed something so have I - if Bobby or Max thought that Frankie could be theirs they surely would have been pushing for a paternity test, as would Lauren, sure she would rather the baby was not Joels...
I must remember it is only a story

Bobby?

Oh yes! I had forgotten Bobby and they did get close at one time, if I remember rightly.

Bobby?

If Frankie isn't Joel's baby, then who's the Daddy? Big Christmas reveal? Ken, Brian & Roy are my suspects. Sounds unlikely but this is Corrie!

Eek. Her new hairstyle is awful!!

It never occurred to me it might be a wig till I read Maggymay’s post. Here she is with her new hairstyle in real life.

It looks like a wig as Dolly-Rose Campbell has a brand new very short hairstyle.

Janice went off travelling

About 10 years ago?

Do you think she’s got there by now?

Didn’t she strike up a relationship with some bearded chap, who seemed quite decent, then dumped him?

It’s all so long ago…..

No doubt DeeDee will have the baby to save Frankeh. So that story will drag out for months.

Janice went off travelling? I'm sure Leanne has been to stay with her. She will be killed off next probably!

And where's Janice Battersby? Has she 'died'?

I did read that 'Corrie' was sick of requests to bring dad Les back so they decided to kill him off. Hence, no more requests. Sad I think. Obviously, that is why he was never actually brought back even for a visit,.

I find Max intensely annoying.

He’s a right cocky little so and so, never does a stroke of work, and swearing undying love to Lauren and the baby, when he was seeing Sabrina not so long ago.

Mind you, Lauren gets on me as well.

This storyline will be dragged out interminably.

Joel’s mother’s acting is awful, the dad is a bit better.

It's amazing that Toyah and Leeanne have never had anything to do with Chesney and Gemma throughout their many storylines.

I wonder if the 3 of them were probably as confused as me when this storyline came up! I was struggling to remember their connection and I don’t recall a single reference to it in all the years I’ve watched Corrie.

As if Chesney would pass up the chance of £20k when they are always pleading poverty. He’s supposedly doing it out of devotion to Les although he’s never been mentioned in years.

I can't be bothered watching the Carla/Lisa relationship. As for that brat Netsy, nobody, especially her mother, cares what she gets up to.
