New thread.

You would rarely be out of work on Corrie, Anybody can walk in off the street and start to work there. I wouldn't know how a till worked, but they all do. Also, making coffee etc.

Sarnia the solicitors do likewise. It makes me laugh to see them discussing clients cases in the pub or Speed Dahl.

So GCSEs start on Monday (some have already started) and Will's mother wants to take him to Scotland for a week!!
As if they don't matter at all and they can just get a letter from the doctor...apparently
Unbelievable lack of respect for education there Corrie writers!!

The writers aren't great on details like that. I'm always surprised when the police are discussing confidential matters in the Rovers or when Roy's Rolls is understaffed they drag the nearest person behind the counter to start work. No hand washing or qualifications in food & hygiene necessary it seems.

Ben’s ex wife looks nothing like her mixed race “sons”. She looks more like Somalian heritage. I like the way she is standing up to Grandma though.

I reckon the brooch belongs to Theo’s ex wife. It is a modern type of brooch.

Yes where is Megan and what was the 'new evidence' that came to light.

Will someone please buy Will a new school jumper his current one is far too small for him grin

Aveline Thu 07-May-26 07:18:57

Poor old Summer is in the frame for me. Mind you that blood stained 'brooch' is a bit odd. Looks more like a patch and nothing I've ever seen her wearing.
Idea: maybe it was Megan?! That would tie up two stories neatly. Where actually is she btw?

Charleygirl5 Wed 06-May-26 18:58:34

U think either Summer or Michelle his ex wife killed Theo.

I agree Christina was so stupid waving the bloody top around. The writers are getting worse.

I am amazed Carl is not up and about and in the pub. It normally takes 48 hours to recover from major surgery post surgery on Corrie.

nanaK54 Wed 06-May-26 11:46:19

Oh no, poor George, he didn't, he wouldn't surely.

Why was bloomin' Christina carrying his blood stained jumper about, just shove it in the washing machine you daft bat.

My money is on Gary although I rather hope it is Danielle.

Really don't like Will's mum.

Where is Jodie, not that I care really grin

I agree too that poor Todd was so thoroughly manipulated and coerced by Theo he can't envisage a life without him. It is so hard for anyone who has not experienced this type of control to understand how much it impacts on your life.

Poor Todd will have been so thoughly manipulated by the awful Theo that he's bound to feel a bit mixed up.

Agreed

JenniferEccles Tue 05-May-26 11:28:10

I think Todd’s reaction is really hard to understand for those of us fortunate enough not to have ever been in a controlling, violent relationship, but I have read that the storyline writers had a lot of input from various charities which help victims, so perhaps his reaction is more common than we think.

Lovetopaint037 Tue 05-May-26 10:46:27

Tosh! Absolute tosh. How Todd could say he wanted that monster back again is ridiculous. Hope Carl killed him as they had some fight and Ronnie just found him. That way the two of them got what they deserved.

JenniferEccles Tue 05-May-26 10:39:44

I wondered about Theo’s wife too.
The killer presumably will be someone who is definitely scheduled to leave the programme so those judged to still have
‘mileage’ in them, storylines-wise, will be spared.

I thought Summer yesterday had a slightly shifty look, but then that was probably deliberate to keep us guessing which character hated Theo the most.
It’s a long list!

Aveline Tue 05-May-26 10:14:57

Theo's wife surely?

Jodieb Tue 05-May-26 09:50:46

Was it Todd's wife? She looked shifty when she laid flowers?

nanaK54 Tue 05-May-26 09:33:33

Poor Todd it's all so sad sad

So what do we think, did he fall or was he pushed?

Actually - just ignore me!

His head injury was caused before he fell from the scaffold...

Doodledog Tue 05-May-26 04:43:45

I have no idea. In the past I would have had theories, but these days I just don’t have headspace for Corrie any more. It’s not that my life has moved to a higher plane - it absolutely hasn’t 😂. It’s that the storylines have stopped pulling me in so much.

I do care about Todd, however, and hope he is not involved in Theo’s death.

It was certainly unusual behaviour for George. He’s usually in his undertaker’s garb whether he’s at work, in the pub or at home watching tv. It was out of character for him to wear a casual jumper never mind change it for another one.

Christina mentioned it to be sure we noticed. So, hopefully that means it’s a red herring to put us off the trail of the real killer.

Charleygirl5 Sun 03-May-26 22:17:34

Bukkie me too. I would never have noticed it

Bukkie Sun 03-May-26 21:31:15

I only knew George had changed his jumper because Christina mentioned it.

Charleygirl5 Sun 03-May-26 18:50:51

I on;ly hope that Todd din't kill him although he had many reasons ro do so after the way he was abused mentally and physically.

I wish we had one hour episodes, even if it only runs twice a week. We may have a better understanding of the rubbish shown.

Mopsie Sun 03-May-26 17:43:45

None of it makes sense!!
The Jodie story is a complete mess and deeply uninteresting.
I’ve enjoyed Meghan being proper nasty though but young actor playing Will really isn’t up to the task which is such a shame. There are still some great performers, all the old schoolers: Debbie, George, Glenda, Christine and they keep Corrie Corrie!
So glad to see the end of Theo! Hated him since his first appearance in the cafe in his vest 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
