New thread.

I noticed when Theo confronted Summer in the shop she had just brought up Carl’s number on her phone.

I was hoping the call had connected and he might find a lengthy voicemail recording of the conversation between Theo and Sumner. Then again, maybe I have an overactive imagination 😆

If Will finds the book in the bin he might see the light?

I’m quite looking forward to this week, but at the same time I wish it was over and we could go back to less fraught storylines.

Aveline Tue 21-Apr-26 06:40:06

Given that there are such fraught storylines, I wish the one hour episodes were back. A half hour is over in a flash.

A half hour is over in a flash

Some episodes, that’s a relief.

Did David always speak in that long, drawn out way that he uses now? It’s quite irritating to listen to.

I thought Theo acted well last night. I have no idea when Will will see the light unless Megan does a moonlight flit telling nobody where she is going.

I am enjoying this week but loathe the 1/2 hour episodes. I haven't checked, football has not been on for a couple of nights!

I agree with you about Theo. When he first appeared in Corrie his acting left a lot to be desired but he is so much better now. His air of menace is almost tangible.

How did Debbie know immediately (after the phone call that rudely interrupted her full English) that Ronnie had attacked Carl? It could have been some random thug or someone contracted to attack him, but Debbie knew straightaway. A bit far-fetched. Also - although the make-up artist used the right colours/shading around Carl’s injured left eye, there was no swelling at all and no residual bruising elsewhere on his perfectly bone-structured face. He’d received a hell of a thumping so the make-up didn’t go far enough. AND! I’m on a roll now - the spots on David’s daughter’s (Lily?) face the other day - very unrealistic. They looked like 3 large dark grey dots - not like spots/pimples at all! Did she paint them on herself? Moan over. I’m actually quite enjoying Corrie at the moment, even though I still complain about it.

I thought Lily had put some little spot plasters on, they were a weird colour though

sodapop Tue 21-Apr-26 17:10:32

That's what I thought as well BlueBelle I remember the teenage dramas about spots, the end of the world at the time smile

Bukkie Tue 21-Apr-26 17:53:31

I suspect they were spot covers Lily had. I have seen them in shops.

Another quick Corrie recovery.

Carl lying on his bed of pain in hospital last night, then up and about next day, boozing away in the hotel.

What on earth was Carla wearing at her hen night, dress wise?

Not too flattering.

Grannynannywanny Tue 21-Apr-26 21:04:11

Why on earth didn’t Summer report Theo’s threats to the police? Instead she confides in George who then tells Theo he’s lucky Summer didn’t report him to the police 🙄

Charleygirl5 Tue 21-Apr-26 21:39:31

Theo and Carl are equally nasty. Carl is determined to thrash the hotel if he can't get 50% by his scheming devious ways. If he does this to his mother, what would he do to a stranger?

Charlie girl Corrie is a little under 22minutes with fast moving the dinosaur and the ads.

nanaK54 Wed 22-Apr-26 21:01:31

"hey Bananarama" was the best line this evening grin

Calendargirl Thu 23-Apr-26 06:56:18

Maggie has a very strange mouth, she seems to pull it in all directions, which gives her a pantomime air.

Thinking back, that’s very ‘Mrs Doyle’, so I assume it’s how the actress playing her looks in real life.

Grannynannywanny Thu 23-Apr-26 08:42:55

I agree about Maggie’s facial expressions Calendargirl. She’s been channeling her inner Mrs Doyle in recent episodes 😄

I think I’m in the minority here but I enjoy Maggie's character and waiting to see how her convoluted family story will pan out.

Sarnia Thu 23-Apr-26 16:40:27

I may be wrong but after tonight's episode the next one isn't until next week. Why no Friday or Sunday? No major football on that I can see.

Maggiemaybe Thu 23-Apr-26 19:39:21

Looks like we’ve been sidelined for the I’m a Celebrity final tomorrow. angry

Aveline Thu 23-Apr-26 21:07:49

Big week on Corrie next week by the sound of it. The short episodes are going to feel extra annoying.

nanaK54 Thu 23-Apr-26 21:15:17

Oh come on now I thought tonight was going to be the big reveal...just me?

Charleygirl5 Thu 23-Apr-26 21:53:22

I thought tonight was a waste of space. I also was waiting for some excitement. I had no idea we have to wait until next week

Is this a case of how to keep an audience without really trying? They are doing well.

Bukkie Thu 23-Apr-26 22:43:49

NanaK54 I too thought tonight was the big reveal. Gosh Lauren gets ruder with every episode. Betsylamb has grown on me. Lovely Ryan needs a lovely girlfriend and a happy storyline.

Charleygirl5 Fri 24-Apr-26 06:29:56

How Carl could show his face after the damage he caused is beyond me.

BlueBelle Fri 24-Apr-26 07:30:26

I found last nights wedding etc a bit boring and lost my interest
I ve always liked Betsy
I need help I think I missed Jodie s explanation of the van and her in the crash and her connection to Emmerdale
I know someone will update me etc
