New thread.

Really not buying into Sam taking ADHD medication. He is far too sensible and it's a real stretch to think he would involve himself with illegal drugs.

Is it for ADHD? I wondered if he was taking something to keep him awake for longer. Megan is worming her way into his head by saying other teachers are concerned about his drop in form with his schoolwork. Sam is bright and self motivated and this will worry him so he is trying to work longer hours, hence the tablets. Megan stole his homework and Daniel has given Sam a late mark, the first he has ever had and he's mortified. I hope Sam is the one to expose Megan.

Poor Todd. I fear he’s eventually going to crack and and attack the vile Theo and do him serious harm. Not that I’m bothered about Theo but I’d hate to see Todd in court.

But calandrgirl * you don’t see it through the same eyes when you are in the middle of it, you don’t see what other people see That’s why they say the a beaten or hit woman in a relationship, takes an average of 12 incidents before they try to get away They constantly blame themselves, they are doing something wrong, they are causing the anger and grief, they are giving the partner a hard time making them angry etc etc they need to try harder ( Todd and his running exercise eating etc) They are doing the storyline well

Kit just seems to be OK now. I can't understand how the Todd/Theo story is still going on.

Calendargirl Thu 12-Feb-26 11:21:07

Is Kit still villainous, or has he been rehabilitated?

Kit just has to smile and I forgive him anything!

😍

Oh, that makes sense. Poor Sam. I hope Megan is exposed very soon. I assume something will happen involving Tim, as we had the reference to a similar experience in his own youth.

There are too many rotters on the Street just now. Theo, Megan, Carl, Maggie - all baddies. Is Kit still villainous, or has he been rehabilitated?

Sam was worrying about not getting ahead with his work. The methylphenidate is an ADHD drug which could help him to stay awake this having more time for study. That was already alluded to last night.

Agreed.
Don't do it Sam, poor boy...

Aveline Thu 12-Feb-26 08:38:07

Thus not this.

I could understand his not paying by phone in front of Théo, but when he disappeared for days it just didn’t make sense. He borrowed money from George, which is more likely to annoy Théo. Is his salary still going into his own account? That might explain it, I suppose. Théo would see every transaction on the joint account.

Calendargirl Thu 12-Feb-26 07:52:07

I think the reason Todd didn’t pay with his phone or order another card is because he’s scared stiff of Theo.

You can see him cringing whenever Theo comes near him.

What an awful relationship. How on earth does he think it will end?

Him living in fear the rest of his life with someone he doesn’t love, trust, want, fancy…?

Doodledog Thu 12-Feb-26 07:48:10

David’s house was destroyed by fire and rebuilt. I don’t think the garage extension was done legally, so may not have been covered by insurance.

If Sam intends to drug others he’s not being very sensible! He could end up in Young Offenders like most of the other teens.

Why didn’t Todd pay for things with his phone, or ring the bank and get another card? I know financial abuse is real, but this is being portrayed very badly. I can easily go for weeks without using cash, but I still eat and buy things. Summer’s request for sponsorship money in cash is about the only realistic one I can remember.

Aveline Thu 12-Feb-26 06:51:20

Meanwhile, what has happened to David's house? The extension into the garage seems to have gone. The entry was from the kitchen. There was an en suite too.
Theo has taken over Todd's bank account and made him cut up his cards so poor Todd only has what cash Theo doles out.

BlueBelle Thu 12-Feb-26 06:50:32

It was dire last night wasn’t it Calandergirl and nasty Megan and ‘her little boys’ ugh, and Jodie coming on to David !!!

Calendargirl Thu 12-Feb-26 06:46:24

Last night’s episode was another poor one.

Awful Theo guilt tripping Todd into sleeping with him.

And nearly as bad, Dev and Bernie making up. 😳

Plus Mal skulking about outside their house listening to their playful shrieks and canoodling.

Ugh!

Charleygirl5 Thu 12-Feb-26 05:17:30

I remember Todd asking for and getting his job back but I agree, I haven't seen him do a day's work since.

I wonder how much longer Theo is going to be around and who will suss him? I think it may be George.

BlueBelle Wed 11-Feb-26 22:58:55

Did he Calandergirl? I must have missed that episode and
I ve not noticed him ‘working’ just mooching around looking for food. 🤣

Goodness another painful episode - Todd get out of there please - Sam no drugs please, poor lad.

I am thinking maybe Sam is going to drug either the paedo female teacher or her teenage lover. I think Sam is far too sensible to take drugs himself.

How come Todd is still getting a wage from the funeral parlour when he hasnt worked there for months He asked for an advance on his wages this week !!!

He went back to work there a little while ago BlueBelle.

He asked George for his job back, and George was pleased to have him.

pinkprincess - It's the same as them all working on their own doorstep, getting a job without an interview, not needing childcare, being seen by a doctor not only on the same day but face to face (what a novelty that is), everyone having everyone else's mobile numbers and all being able to eat every meal out.

Thankyou Bukkie
It is the ideal place to live, like a different planet completely independent of anywhere else., and no money worries.

It is amazing how characters in Corrie always get sent to the same prison?

I think people often get sent to the local prison and then get transferred to somewhere else if appropriate. They used to anyway.

I read a few weeks ago that a Corrie ‘legend’ was returning such a legend I not only can’t remember her name but I can’t even remember why she went to prison !!!
