Thought I’d start a new thread as the other one is full. Nothing to say really at the moment because I said it at the end of the last thread. Hopefully we can carry on with our Corrie moans!

Theo telling Todd it's best if he sleeps downstairs! In his own house? Todd really needs to tell him to go - if this relationship follows the predictable pattern of coercive control this is Theo testing the waters to see how Todd reacts, and it will not end well.

Aveline Wed 30-Jul-25 21:18:06

Yes. This is not looking great for poor Todd. What a nasty temper Theo suddenly has.
Meanwhile the DeeDee and James story was soooo boring. I wanted to fast forward till they were off. Can't stand DeeDee with her tongue out all the time and the silly little baby voice. Also, why all cram into that house? She has a two bedroom flat.
Really rubbish episode.

I agree Aveline DeeDee and James as co parents, I forsee so many pitfalls there.
Tod needs to dump Theo before the coercive control gets even more out of hand. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the odd happy story along the way.

Crossstitchfan Wed 30-Jul-25 22:35:36

The crap scriptwriters have struck again! As if Todd would put up with horrible Theo telling him where to sleep - in his own house! Not believable at all.
I am getting so bored with the Deedee story. She is a dreadful actor too and the storyline is pathetic. She really should go.
The writers on Corrie need to get a grip. They really are dire!

BlueBelle Wed 30-Jul-25 22:52:02

I don’t think DeeDee is a dreadful actress at all I like her although her character has gone a bit off lately
The Theo and Todd story is daft and really getting on my t..ts sorry teeth I m going off Todd and his fawning around Action Man
Kevin looks awful talk about dead man walking That man looks 90

Crossstitchfan Wed 30-Jul-25 23:05:56

Do people agree that ‘Kev’ looks too poorly for it just to be makeup? Surely even the best makeup artists can’t make someone look that ill and frail?
I hope he’s ok but if you compare how he looks now with how he looks on Classic Corrie, you have to ask how someone can age that fast.

Calendargirl Thu 31-Jul-25 06:31:34

Totally agree about Theo ordering Todd to sleep on the sofa. Can’t believe Todd is such a drippy wuss! I should be glad to get rid of him back to his ghastly family.

Also fed up with Dee Dee and her messing James about, not that the storyline was ever very credible or thought out.

No idea where Adam is supposed to be, but his law firm must be on its last legs if it’s having to rely on Dee Dee fitting in a bit of work alongside carting a baby about all the time.

As for Abi, Kevin, Jack, Debbie, Carl…..another silly storyline limps on.

BlueBelle Thu 31-Jul-25 07:22:25

I have wondered for a while if Kevin is ok in real life he really looks so old and ill if he’s not ill he’s aged very badly indeed
I m not sure how old he is 60 ish I m guessing he looks 90

Grannycool52 Thu 31-Jul-25 08:27:25

Theo threatened someone (I can't remember who) very nastily a few weeks ago.
They are definitely sewing the seeds of a coercive control story ( though his wife shows no sign of having been controlled in that manner).
Todd really should tell Theo and his nasty family to get lost.

Aveline Thu 31-Jul-25 08:47:34

Mary and George need to be about the house more - for Todd's sake.

Bukkie Thu 31-Jul-25 08:58:46

I want Todd to live happily ever after with James. They could adopt a baby and make great parents. George should move in with Glenda. (Is she in the pub on her own?) Mary should live with Brian. It really is much easier than Corrie scriptwriters are making it.

Bukkie Thu 31-Jul-25 09:04:03

If I heard correctly Swarla will be moving into No. 6 this week. So conveyancing is super fast on the Street too. Neighbours has the same timescales. Cara decided to be a policewoman in June and was fully qualified by July. My son's friend is about 10 months into a difficult recruitment process to join the police. He has to pass each round before he can move into the next stage. I don't know how many rounds there are but understandably they have to be sure they have the right people.

Devorgilla Thu 31-Jul-25 11:51:57

Yes, Theo is a control freak. I hope Todd wakes up soon but I suspect we will get to the stage of a showdown with James who will have been sympathising with Todd in secret. If so, I hope he lays Theo out. Todd is lost without Eileen and her 'mouth' to tell him to get rid sharpish. He needs a new 'knight in shining armour'.

Dottydots Thu 31-Jul-25 13:14:04

Come on Todd, pull yourself together and get rid of the awful Theo. How dare he pinch your bed!

BlueBelle Fri 01-Aug-25 20:08:38

Billy is very unfortunate in how his beard has grown completely white on the outsides bit and dark in the middle and moustache, looks very strange I think

He looks like a skunk.

Weathy General has worked its magic yet again.

A week ago, Kit was on virtual life support.

Tonight, back boozing in the Rovers, arguing with Swain, looking like he’s ready to return to work.

A miracle, no sign of his traumatic knife wound.

BlueBelle Fri 01-Aug-25 20:51:06

I thought how did Kit get there, I mean I thought he was practically dying
Yay Doodledog a skunk, I knew he reminded me of something

Bukkie Fri 01-Aug-25 21:46:19

Billy would look a lot younger if he shaved the beard off. I did laugh when Theo called him, "the patron saint of sticking his beak in."

Calendargirl Sat 02-Aug-25 07:25:47

Dee Dee really irritating. Gone from hardly able to be in the same room as Laila to cooing and giggling over every little move and action. Wouldn’t want her to be ‘soliciting’ for me, as her mind wouldn’t be on the job, too busy looking at endless photos on her phone.

Why did Dev and Aadi have to meet in the Rovers to discuss the wedding, what was wrong with chatting at home?🤷‍♀️

Oh, of course, it allowed for the ‘accidental’ meet up with Auntie Rani or Gee, or whatever she’s called. Highly unlikely that a backstreet pub would be where an elderly lady headed for after a long flight- would have expected her to go to Dev’s home. But a good excuse for Dev to speak in an even more ridiculous voice, ‘Bernadine’ nearly as bad sounding like Mary Berry, and for Lauren to be introduced as the stroppy, mardy GF, and also to showcase yet more new clothes.

Frankie must be with a permanent childminder, or perhaps he is home alone, along with Alfie, Glory et al.

Chocolatelovinggran Sat 02-Aug-25 07:34:54

I'm liking Auntie Rani. I have missed those older women - with - strong - views who were once a real feature of the street.

BlueBelle Sat 02-Aug-25 07:37:12

Particularly a monied elderly Asian lady unaccompanied and no suitcases … laughable she must have thought ‘when I get off the plane I ll take a taxi to a back street pub in Wethersfield I’m sure my nephew Dev 🤮 will be there’
I m thinking we could all write better scripts

Charleygirl5 Sat 02-Aug-25 08:54:45

I agree, it gets worse. I have never gone into a pub unaccompanied in my life, and I never will. It was the way I was brought up.

As a foreign Asian lady who does not live in this country, absolutely never.

Kit looked as though nothing had ever happened to him, so his recovery is a miracle.

I may try it for a couple of days, and maybe I will be able to walk further than a quarter of a mile without resting.

Aveline Sat 02-Aug-25 09:51:57

It was a daft incident altogether. As Ivan elderly Indian lady would just go straight to a back street pub.
What's going on with Swayn's therapist? He looks a wrong un!

LovesBach Sat 02-Aug-25 10:09:18

He is clearly up to something Aveline - hence the phone call, with narrowed eyes and a suspicious message, made to a mystery person as Swayne left his office. The newly emerging Becky death/corruption/Carla bribe/ storyline will doubtlessly go on for some time now, and include Kit, aka Lazarus.
