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

I think leanne is stitching nick up

Gemma can stay away.It would be a good idea if she took the quads and poor Chesney with her.Not forgetting poor neglected Joseph.

And how much food was there at the wake?

I counted about 6 of them there (mourners) but the tables were loaded with food at the end.

Can’t believe how quickly a funeral can be arranged in soapland.

When did Les die? About a week ago?

Round here, you would still be waiting to get an appointment for the death certificate to be issued, let alone the funeral organised, funeral programme printed.

And if he needed a PM, that can take ages.

But heigh ho, not in Corrie.

I agree. It's a busy pre Christmas time for young children too.

Calendargirl Fri 06-Dec-24 13:17:11

Where is Gemma?

She went off to stay with some girlfriend didn’t she, at the seaside?

I know she is grieving for Paul, but think she could do with being at her husband’s side, looking after the quads and doing her bit in that chaotic household.

I think Mason’s brothers look like a couple of corny pantomime villains.

I love this comment! I had been trying to work out what those ugly blokes remind me of and you have nailed it! They have the acting ability of a dead hedgehog. How do these people get hired as actors when they can barely string a sentence together, let alone act?

I thought he died in an industrial accident. I hope the beneficiaries don't accept the first offer. My solicitor told me never to accept a first offer!

LovesBach Fri 06-Dec-24 09:40:07

I thought Les had died from a medical condition, and that the accident had taken place previously. Given the character, it's hard to see that £50,000 would have lasted for five minutes in his possession - however, this is soapland...it will help bale out poor old Ches with his endless bills and too many jobs. Where is Gemma? I've lost track - and yes, two senior Bistro staff going on holiday just before Christmas is ludicrous - do they think Leanne won't smell a rat?

Greg is Greg Kelly, Les's son. He was in Corrie in the late 90s

My friend was a legal Secretary her whole adult life. About 10 years ago she said she did their 2nd only Will reading in all that time! The first was when she started work aged 16 so that would have been in the 1960s. They are very rare indeed.

Aveline Thu 05-Dec-24 08:09:18

Is he a wrong 'un or just misunderstood? He's not very likeable though.
I had a Corrie dream last night and now I don't know what's true or false. It was nice to 'see' the Victorian baths at the end of Viaduct Street though!

Calendargirl Thu 05-Dec-24 06:56:39

Agree about two staff on holiday just before Christmas.

Are Nick and Toyah just going to pretend to have separate holidays?

Yes, I couldn’t remember a Greg.

How many people actually meet up in a solicitor’s office for a will reading? I’ve never been asked to one, even if I’ve been left something.

And writing Les’s eulogy. He only died a few days ago. Surely there’ll need to be enquiries if he died in an accident, so a funeral won’t be happening very quickly.

It’s a shame Daisy is half Kit’s height, they look daft together.

He is very nice looking though, and has a lovely smile.

Pity he’s a wrong ‘un’.

Feelingmyage55 Thu 05-Dec-24 00:30:47

Who is Greg who was mentioned tonight in discussions about Les?

vegansrock Wed 04-Dec-24 23:37:51

As if a restaurant would allow 2 staff to go on holiday just before Christmas! Unbelievable storyline.

Primrose53 Wed 04-Dec-24 21:17:22

Kit the copper is getting on my nerves.

lemsip Wed 04-Dec-24 20:54:50

what is all the background music in scenes tonight.

When does Roy get to wash his cardigan? He never wears anything else. I wouldn't any food from him

He also has a jumper, which is exactly the same as one my husband has. M&S circa 2000!

I think the stories about David leaving are just fans' theories online. We'll see, I guess.

Aveline Wed 04-Dec-24 07:22:55

But his wonderful 'straight back'! I thought she might have been scraping the barrel for compliments there.

vegansrock Wed 04-Dec-24 01:29:08

Why is Leanne jealous of Toyah? Nick is hardly the catch of the year. She’s better off without him.

yogitree Tue 03-Dec-24 18:42:44

Anyone else think Shona is 'showing' pregnant? I heard that David (character) is leaving?
