Corrie 2026 (continued).

I just record it and watch it to suit me. I agree that 8.30 is an inconvenient time.

If anything is going to stop me watching Corrie it is the rescheduling. I dislike the later time, as (for me) sitting down to a fairly mindless watch is my divider between daytime and evening, which works better at 7.30 than at 8.30. We've usually finished eating by 7.30 and I'm ready to wind down. By 8.30 if there is nothing worth watching on TV I am doing something else, and it's a pain to stop whatever it is for the sake of a half hour episode - it just gets in the way.

I sometimes stream it earlier, but as so much of Corrie is about habit for me I don't do so often. If they are going to move it even more often for football it might put me off altogether.

I had no idea football was on last night. There should be a separate channel for sports because I don't think it should take over prime TV times.

It was some pointless England friendly that would only appeal to hardcore football fans. Really it could have been put on ITV2 or shown on a sports channel as it was a meaningless game. On Tuesday people looking forward to the soaps and a drama at 9pm will have yet another England friendly instead.

Phones on tv screen

Jodieb that irritates me also. I am partially sighted so would never be able to read them.

I think Todd was going to George to tell him he loves Theo, and keep out of it.

I wondered that, too, and then decided that he opened the door to leave the flat (presumably to go to George's house). I hope so.

Thanks for the heads up, Calendargirl. Why don't they advertise rescheduled episodes, or have them available on ITVX so that people can see them whenever they want to.

When Todd jumped up at the end was he rushing to Theo or to tell George to keep out of it or to claim the ready made bed?

I think it will be the 2nd scenario.

Don't you hate it when messages are put up on phones? I always have to pause back track to properly read the text.

There is a Corrie episode on Sunday, 7.30 before new series of Grace.

I totally agree Charley I have always said there should be a separate channel for sport
The majority paying the TV licence will be older people and we are the ‘soapers’

The Mal/Bernie storyline is absolutely hopeless.

Bernie is no ‘femme fatale’, she and Dev are totally miscast with each other.

Mal, I’m afraid, is unfanciable, even for Bernie.

Yes I admit that, thankfully, I have no experience of the situation Todd is in.
I an aware however how it can, sadly in some cases go on for years, but we are talking here about a soap storyline, where things usually progress at lightning speed!

I’m sure great care has been taken though to make Todd’s experience as true to life as possible.

We have already seen that in an episode in April, a body is discovered so speculation is mounting about the victim.

Yes, that will be the next thing, won't it? The body and whodunnit. I think Maggie, Mal and Theo, all with very short tempers, could possibly lose the plot and murder someone.

I agree the Todd/Theo relationship has been presented and acted well but like everything else on Corrie, it goes on too long.

Totally agree Sarnia the Mal/Bernie story is weak and silly and nowhere close to normal life at all
I m afraid I don’t think the Will / Megan has been done very well either, important point to make but become very vague and muddled… is she ? isn’t she ? has he ? hasn’t he ? and a whole silly overdone area of bringing Sam into it.

jenniferEccles you are not clued up about abuse it can go on for years, with pull ins and good times in between the abuse, Todd will blame himself and think why did I say that or why did I do that, he are not outside looking in like we are.
Theo will not seem vile to Todd, Todd will believe he is causing the problems, he is the bad person, getting it all wrong and must do better It is psychologically a very difficult subject to portray to anyone who has never been involved
It’s can be very subtle
On an average a victim experiences abuse up to 50 times before they contact help
The storyline is being well done, and now George has seen it first hand it may be helpful to Todd in the end, although he may well see George as interfering and unhelpful to start with, but hopefully seeing it through someone’s else’s eyes may open his

Exactly this. People who have never experienced domestic abuse cannot understand why the victim stays and may possibly think it serves them right for not putting a stop to it.
Those of us on the receiving end know different.
Corrie comes in for a lot of criticism but they have handled this storyline very well indeed and shone a light on these types of relationships.
On the other hand, Corrie has gone down the ridiculous route with the Bernie/Mal plot.

Although it’s commendable that this subject of coercive control is being used as a major ongoing storyline in Corrie, I think it really is time now to bring it to whatever conclusion has been planned.

In my opinion it has dragged on too long and I now find I have completely lost patience with Todd.
How on earth can he still love the vile Theo?

Yes George!

I thought Theo’s vows were an embarrassing load of drivel.

Good thinking Calendargirl about the registrar, I did wonder why they were labouring the point somewhat.

Puppet on a String on the jukebox...

I thought that was very apt too.

I wasn't aware that Theo was divorced from his wife? I was hoping that Todd would say no.

I think that George, Christina and now Summer will keep a watchful eye on Todd. I agree withAveline that Theo may come out of it unscathed and Todd be imprisoned.

Surely the ceremony couldn’t have been fake?

They would have had to sign registers with Gary and Maria as witnesses.

But this is Soapland.

The whole registry office was grim. Dirty, cluttered and with peeling damp wallpaper. I've been to registry office weddings in lovely rooms with staff keeping the services very pleasant and dignified.
