Corrie Yet Again!

Calendargirl

I think Beechnut just meant ‘judging’ by what she saw on the front cover, not Todd literally ‘going’. i.e. leaving.

Yes that is what I meant. Thanks Calendargirl 😀

I saw that front cover too and was very glad. No spoilers for Doodledog though.

Thank you. I don’t think I can be the only one who doesn’t want to know what’s going to happen before it is screened though😀.

I hope the Todd situation improves for him soon, and I wouldn’t shed any tears if that meant the demise of the horrible Theo. He’s got Todd down for a half marathon now! That would finish me off for sure.

I’m with you Doodledog and prefer to avoid spoilers. I was browsing for something in Asda yesterday and realised I was in the magazine section. I quickly averted my gaze from the tv mags before I saw something to give the game away.

I’m finding the Todd and Theo scenes a difficult watch but I think it’s being well acted. Some of Theo’s remarks to Todd cast my mind back to 40 odd years ago when I was on the receiving end of similar. One one occasion my ex husband stormed off from the table because his dinner was too hot.

The scene in my imagination for Christmas morning is one of poor Todd crumpled on the floor, crying, either beaten up or with food poured on him, while Theo waltzes off to his original, dysfunctional family.

An alternative one would be Todd turning on Theo and clobbering him, the ending up before the courts.

This is not a spoiler! It's only what I am imagining, and I really hope Christina cops on and rescues Todd in time!

It is certainly difficult to watch Todd & Theo but I would imagine true to life. Maybe Sarah will step in as well.
Don't think I am dreaming this but were Sarah & Todd an item in the dim and distant past. They had a child who died ?

Who is Bethany’s dad?

Yes, Sarah and Todd were the parents of a baby that either died or was stillborn. Can’t remember if they ever married.

Then Todd came out as gay, which was a huge shock back then.

Bethany’s dad was some young lad at school with Sarah, who was about 13/14 when she had Bethany, huge shocks and big storyline back then.

Now just par for the course.

Calendargirl, well remembered.
I think some Grans who have watched Corrie since the beginning would do well with it as our special subject on Mastermind 😁.

Thanks Calendargirl glad I wasn't dreaming.

Sarah and Todd mentioned the lost baby not long ago - he was called Billy, and presumaby would have been about twenty now.

Please can the Christmas special either be;

a) Todd turning on Theo, and shoving an uncooked turkey leg down his throat, or

b) Ghastly Becky catching a one way flight to anywhere, hopefully accompanied by stroppy, mardy little Betsy.

And Shona's baby being delivered safely, operated on and all well.

And Carl and James getting caught midway through stuffing........................the turkey.

Betsy and Becky are very nearly causing me to give up on Corrie forever!
Today, Betsy said ‘cha’ instead of ‘chat’. Beck was totally dislikable too.
I loathe both of them!

Every time Becky appears I can’t concentrate on what she’s saying because I’m wondering if it’s a bad wig or a bad hair cut. Either way she needs to drop by to Audrey’s for a tidy up trim.

Apparently the Todd-Theo story will be going on for quite a while. What a pain, we need it over soon.

Oh, isn’t she awful?

Her hair, her coat, her manner, …..

Cannot imagine how Lisa ever fancied her.

Mind you, Carla’s squawky voice would put anyone off….

As for taking on that brat Betsy, who one minute acts like a toddler, then next is somehow going to ‘protect’ her off-on mum…

Carla, I think you would be well out of it, Lisa and her staring eyes, silly little Betsy, …

Let them clear off to Spain with crazy Becky.

Clawdy I didn't want to read that because I also have had enough of Theo. Any half-decent story is "done to death". Poor downtrodden Todd needs to get a life again.

How is Becky surviving? Another jobless one with money.

Becky is like a panto villain who’s always lurking in the wings ready to stride into the scene. It’s such a far fetched and tedious storyline that’s just going round in circles.

Perhaps this will all come to a climax on Christmas Day - murders galore, or many exits in taxis with tearful gazes through back windows. I might have lost the will to watch by then if Theo and Becky make many more appearances - they both set my teeth on edge, with Carl not far behind. He will manage to transfer all Debbie's assets to his bank account and then vanish, leaving her in the smouldering ruins of her business.

Great description. When she is lurking in the ginnel with her hoodie pulled up concealing her face, I just can’t stop laughing.

Back in the day the Corrie ginnel was never the place to have a private or inappropriate conversation as there would always be a resident on the other side of the wall who’d overhear every word. Now all manner of shady business and dodgy conversations take place there and nobody is ever seen or heard .

The back ginnel was just where they had all the conversations about what bin should go out that week. Always ending with “Whatever Ken’s put out”.

Just imagine if lurking Becky with her hood up in the back alleyway turns to see little laddo with the blonde coach having a cosy up 🫣
I really am losing it with Corrie not one decent storyline at the moment and I find myself not really concentrating like I used to
