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

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

Beechnut Tue 17-Dec-24 09:20:05

Was Les still with Chesney’s mum because she would have snatched the money.

Clawdy Tue 17-Dec-24 09:10:36

In real life Chesney would snap up that money like a shot. It could transform their lives.

I know Betsy has her problems but I find her a thoroughly unpleasant character and want to fast forward her scenes . I wonder if she has the same acting coach as Mason. Their speech and mannerisms are so similar. I’m hoping they might run away together😆

Sarnia

Did anyone else have to fast forward the spa scenes with Carla and Swain? I was trying to have my supper!

I just think the relationship between Carla and Lisa is ridiculous.

Carla has been the Street’s maneater for years.

It all seems so fake.

There is no chemistry between them at all, and mardy little Betsy will not help the relationship.

I was surprised at DeeDee’s pregnancy. I have no recollection of them breaking her no premarital sex rule. I remember Joel saying how much he respected her wishes etc. But I don’t remember that changing. Maybe I missed an episode. Or may maybe my memory is even worse that I realise.

Joel won't be found to be Frankie's Dad?

Charleygirl5 Tue 17-Dec-24 08:24:34

I would not have recognised Gemma with that hairstyle and colour.

There will be another court case to decide who should look after Frankie, so the hospital bed and the courts will be busy. I will not disclose the spoiler regarding the bed.

Aveline Tue 17-Dec-24 07:31:56

I do remember DeeDee suddenly mentioning religion and being amazed at the time. She never seems to go to church nor does any of her family. Good heavens it's surely not the writers desperately trying to make an abortion story more interesting! Note irony alert.

Calendargirl Tue 17-Dec-24 07:23:19

No doubt the ‘friend’ she has been staying with did the haircut and colour.

I thought it was an improvement.

Oh for goodness sake Chesney! Absolutely skint, but turning away the £20k illicit compo from Les, and taking it to court.

How on earth would they pay the legal fees?

Plus shouldn’t think anyone has given Les a single thought for years.

Hope he gets over ruled, but no doubt we shall be subjected to yet another long drawn out court case, presided over by Adam or Dee Dee.

Or maybe Alya, who no doubt will be a KC by the New Year.

Or even Evelyn!

It took awhile to recognise Gemma. I don’t know how she managed to acquire her new hair and new colour as they are supposed to be skint.

BlueBelle Mon 16-Dec-24 23:22:57

Do you mean Gemma with a new hairstyle Charleygirl

Charleygirl5 Mon 16-Dec-24 22:58:33

Who was the woman in Chesney's house? Have I lost the plot?

I also thought DeeDee's unborn child could be a perfect match for Frankie, anybody but the grandparents.

BlueBelle Mon 16-Dec-24 22:36:09

Deedee was always religious which was why she didn’t sleep with Joel (well not for a long time) Avaline

Grannynannywanny Mon 16-Dec-24 22:33:17

I seem to remember DeeDee’s religious beliefs being mentioned while she and Joel were “courting”. He didn’t sleep with her when he stayed overnight and she was saving herself for the wedding night. Obviously it didn’t entirely go to plan and he’s left her with a little surprise.

Aveline Mon 16-Dec-24 21:35:53

Very sad indeed Lemsip.
When did DeeDee suddenly get religion btw?

Grannynannywanny Mon 16-Dec-24 21:18:24

How sad for your family lemsip.

lemsip Mon 16-Dec-24 20:59:40

it's a very sad storyline for baby Frankie....

you see, back in 1960 my sister's baby died at three months old with acute Leukemia...she came out in small black bruises... a dreadful time for us.

lemsip Mon 16-Dec-24 20:55:27

David is such a scruff yet he's a barber!

Grannynannywanny Mon 16-Dec-24 20:55:02

So is Deedee’s unborn baby going to be a stem cell donor match for Frankie? Or is my overactive imagination getting carried away??

tattygran14 Mon 16-Dec-24 20:28:15

I refuse to watch it until Ken Barlow and his Hair have both died.

Primrose53 Mon 16-Dec-24 20:25:38

Joel’s ghastly parents are obviously going to prove a match for his bone marrow.

Primrose53 Mon 16-Dec-24 20:22:09

Blimey. Cannot imagine Gail with a new haircut. My husband always laughs when she comes on and says he has never seen a woman with hair like hers.

Charleygirl5 Sat 14-Dec-24 15:31:46

I think it will be Gail's permanent departure-whether she gets married, or has an accident and dies in hospital.

Cassie has not finished with Ken. She is not in his will, so if she poisons him, she will be jobless.
