New thread.

Honeyrose- You were correct first time when you said Harriet Bibby who plays Summer is an ACTRESS. I cringe when I hear females being called an actor. I am desperate Ronnie sees Debbie's bruises to confirm she wasn't the driver. I don't think Megan had the abortion either. I don't Daniel is popular on here but I can't bear him. I noticed he has introduced Megan as Mum number 50 or so and is getting her to do the school run.

I do feel that the actress (or I should say actor, now) who plays Summer has been superb - the sorrow, anguish, hurt and anger she demonstrates since Billy’s death seems very realistic to me. That spat with Debbie was heart rending, Debbie is a good actress too. Unlike some of the actors - can’t ABIDE Dev!!!! After all these years in Corrie, he still can’t act for toffee!
Jodie (Shona’s half sister?) has some skeletons in the cupboard. She is going to make a move on David very soon, I’m sure. Probably follow him up to the bathroom (to wash his back!).
What happened to baby Frankie? He hardly gets a mention these days, allowing his sulky, miserable mother to spend lots of time away from him. Who is the Street’s mysterious babysitter - many of the streets kids seem to be unattended for much of the time. Can they all be trusted to play in their bedrooms whilst their parent is out (even the babies)?

So another dragged-out baby story, who is the father?….

She has only been seeing Daniel for a matter of weeks, assuming the baby is his?

No wonder youngsters think it ok to get pregnant after a quick relationship.

[sigh]

But on a positive note, don’t suppose many teenagers watch the soaps nowadays.

Jodie isn’t at all likeable.

Pretending the veggie lasagne was made by her. shock

And having been a ‘guest’ in David and Shona’s home for about 5 minutes, she comes across badly, hostile to Nick on more than one occasion, encouraging Lily (who needs no encouragement) to skip school and be a brat.

Trouble with a capital T.

It seemed to jump about last night. Meghan was going in for an abortion, then you saw her sitting down having a drink/meal with Daniel. Was that later in the day?

Already fed up with yet another cliff hanger of a story about a sick newborn. Seems no time at all since baby Frankie was in and out of hospital, never knowing if he would survive or not.

Now he rarely puts in an appearance, Lauren never seems to be troubled with child minding as she is always either in the pub looking mardy as she doles out the pints, or hanging about with Betsy and others.

Woe betide that Corrie should have any realism in it.
I am hoping that Kit comes to arrest Theo during the funeral and in front of a large audience.

Kevin and Carl don’t share a mother. When Debbie and the family were in Germany Kevin was on t’cobbles. It was perfectly possible that he knew nothing about a baby, as contact would be sporadic in the 1980s. When Carl was born he would have been introduced as Kevin’s half brother. It did happen when there was shame attached to being an unmarried mother, but I would have thought it would have died out by the eighties.

Or maybe when Bill Webster married Kevin’s mum (Elaine) Carl was already born, and Bill wasn’t in on the deception?

Beechnut Fri 16-Jan-26 17:32:19

Perhaps that’s why Kevin didn’t wonder why he had a brother and not noticed his mum being pregnant!

Clawdy Fri 16-Jan-26 17:22:36

So now we know for certain Debbie is Carl's mother - or " mutter" as the little birth bracelet said. And she obviously gave birth to him in Germany. Complicated!

Well, of course, they all think Theo is such a hero, dashing back to ‘save’ poor Billy.

He’s milking it for all its worth, and as for making Todd feel guilty about the early bus depart….

Grannynannywanny Fri 16-Jan-26 09:46:38

Bet Theo tries to mess up Todd’s eulogy. Perhaps he will “accidentally “ stick it in the rubbish.

Theo is bound to do something vile Lovetopaint037. I don’t expect Billy’s framed photo to survive intact for the funeral. I think it will be accidentally shattered and Theo will blame Todd.

Poor Todd looks at breaking point. I thought a couple of weeks ago Christina was on to Theo and was going to be instrumental in coming to Todd’s rescue. But everyone seems to be oblivious to his torture. Billy didn’t last long after sussing what was going on.

love0c Fri 16-Jan-26 09:34:39

I think Megan has had another pupil on the go! Hence, the 'phone calls'.

Calendargirl Fri 16-Jan-26 09:30:56

I think Billy’s lovely photo will end up smashed, (by whom, I wonder🤷‍♀️) and somehow it will be Todd’s fault!

Was thinking, when Billy came in to Corrie, it was as Sean’s boyfriend.

Sean doesn’t seem to be very upset by Billy’s death though, suppose they’ve all moved on.

Didn’t Adam look posh in his wig?

Didn’t realise he was so important!

Sarnia Thu 15-Jan-26 22:32:02

Oh, you tell him Todd!

Write that eulogy, stand up and say it at the funeral.

Tell Theo to mind his own business!

I was hoping he would stand up to Theo too. He should ban him from Billy's funeral. I hope the police hurry up with the evidence to arrest him.

Im fed up with Will and his miserable face. Cant see why Megan would be interested in him. He’s not particularly attractive, immature and moody.

I wouldn't mind betting that Megan isn't interested in him or Daniel. Who is the person she gets phone calls from? Something very shifty about her.

Bukkie Thu 15-Jan-26 21:38:17

Dr Gaddass is currently on Waterloo Road.

Calendargirl Thu 15-Jan-26 21:00:10

Well, I rest my case about Debbie being Carl’s birth mum.

Well, perhaps it is ‘pap’, but we all enjoy having a moan about it, don’t we?

And there is so much on that is not very good.

Digressing from Corrie, but ‘Grantchester’, back again, is twaddle really, but it fills up an hour.

I wish Geordie’s wife was given a new wig, hers makes Becky’s look good!

Grannynannywanny Thu 15-Jan-26 10:38:22

I wonder who phoned Megan when she was on the street after leaving the party? She was annoyed and said don’t phone me again. As well as grooming Will when he was under age could there be other skeletons in her closet?

Maybe we should take the advice of DrWatson who posted last night to say there was no hope for us watching this pap 😆

Doodledog Thu 15-Jan-26 05:11:35

I find their storyline almost as daft as Becky coming back from the dead, hiding from gangsters whilst walking around in plain sight, kidnapping her wife’s partner and getting the fastest trial in legal history.

Will is not the answer to a maiden’s prayer, I agree; but there must be more to abusive relationships than that? It’s not a love match - it must be to do with the power imbalance or the fact that it’s (rightly) forbidden, or something. I feel sorry for the lad. He’s going to end up in trouble and it’s not his fault.

BlueBelle Thu 15-Jan-26 04:23:01

I m fed up with Megan even more than Will, and her double dealing she is enjoying playing the two off against each other and ‘so adult’ to be sleeping with a fellow teacher and a pupil at the same time 🥱 I think she’s a very unpleasant character
