When watching Corrie last night (Monday), I felt that an episode had been missed out, although there wasn’t one on Sunday (as there sometimes is) according to the TV guide. There just seemed to be a few gaps in the storylines. Maybe, though, I just wasn’t concentrating enough, as I do tend to multi-task whilst Corrie is on these days as most of it isn’t worth warching. I don’t know why I do watch it anymore. It’s probably just escapism for 30 minutes.

We always take second place irrespective of what is being shown. I also was looking forward to tonight's episode.
It happens all the time. Perhaps there should be a Soap Channel.

That must have been very hard for you all, Primrose. 
I thought last night’s episode was well done, Kit’s reactions especially. Though in my experience the doctor is a bit less abrupt when giving the diagnosis (the fact that a nurse is sitting with him or her is never a good sign though).
For once I was so keen to get to the next episode that I’ve just looked for today’s on ITVX. Only to find Corrie’s not on tonight - it’s been cancelled in favour of the National TV Awards.
I should have said that after he was diagnosed we mentioned to Addenbrooke’s about his Dad having the BRCA gene. They tested him and he also has it so it was likely caused by this. At the time my husband was tested they offered testing for my children. Daughter was tested and was clear. Son did not want to be tested. Hospital said it would have made no difference because it’s only recently that they knew it was linked to the pancreas.
On the morning of his op we had about 4 people arriving to ask him to give consent for parts of his pancreas to be donated for testing which he did.

I think Kit will be diagnosed with breast cancer. It will be a TV first for a man to get breast cancer I believe.
My husband carries the BRCA1 gene and discovered a big lump in his chest. After tests at the breast clinic they decided it was caused by one of his meds and not breast cancer thankfully. The clinic was very busy and he was the only male in there.I was right then.
I hope they will highlight the fact that within the last year they have discovered that the BRCA1 gene can also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer which is what my son was diagnosed with last August.
Previously they knew it was linked to other cancers but not pancreatic cancer which is the absolute worst cancer with the lowest survival rate as it is often diagnosed too late.So sorry to hear this. One of my SIL's works in this field and he tells me there is more research money going to pancreatic cancer. The initial symptoms are vague and often dismissed as nothing serious until, as you say, it is too late. Ovarian cancer is very similar. Thinking of you.
Thank you. Yes the symptoms are very vague. My son felt perfectly well. I just noticed that his face had a very slight yellow tinge to it but as he is a keen cyclist and always outdoors he had a good tan so it was barely noticeable.
I am so pleased to hear more money is going into research as it is on the increase especially in younger people. I also read that a kind of breath test has been developed for GPs to use if patients present with very vague symptoms.
I personally know of 5 people who have died from PC before my son was diagnosed and it is very scary. 3 were in their 40s, one was in her 60s and one was about 70.
I’ve thought for a while that Kit and Bethany will probably end up sleeping together, with Sarah away.
She is a very pretty girl.
So fed up with Jodie, who can’t act, and just seems to walk about with her mouth pouting all the time.
Stick with Bethany, Kit!
It was Bethany - oh wow that's grim.

I thought tonight’s episode was much better, far more realistic than of late.
Hope Kit makes it through his breast cancer, a rare one to highlight for men, so will raise awareness.
Hope your son is doing ok Primrose, what a lot of worry you have had.

That's v bad luck jodieb. Could be worse though - you could have chosen Theo or Pat as a name.
Naughty Aveline. I wouldn't mind having Kit though.
I tried to change the name but it can't be done unless I cancel and start again 🤔
Jodieb - is that you from Corrie Jodie? If so could you hail a Streetcar and get gone asap! Offer Mary a lift too.
Yes, Carla whispered in her ear when they were in the porch that we never see.
Carla gave Lauren the money for the lunch out.
Will Jodie remember to take the gun from the loft when she leaves? Debbie is too OTT for me now. I wish Idris would share the same taxi with Jodie and soon.
The children's cupboard has been cleaned and aired and they are back in it.
Lauren appears to have plenty of money, able to take Betsy out for lunch. The minimum wage must be more in Corrie.
I am hanging on by my fingertips with Jodie. I don't understand her pointless character or what she brings to Corrie. I know she's leaving the soap so I sincerely hope these next couple of weeks will be the last hurrah for her and she can clear off.
I had no idea what that end scene meant. Only two glasses though.

Oh actually I'm not so sure now.
Is he back in his own flat, could it be Bethany's lippie on the wine glass.
Still a mess whatever
I’ve also seen that he was in a different flat (Sarah’s?) and different coloured lipstick on the glass.
What glass? What lipstick?
Note to self, must be more observant. Miss Marple need have no fear of challenges from me!
On another note, the best acting at the moment is coming from Betsy.
David is on paternity leave IRL and getting his hair done apparently. Audrey is supposed
to be visiting Gail as well.
I interpreted it as a threesome too and really can’t see it happening, although Shona has been there before hasn’t she ?
I also feel it’s been of poor quality lately and at the present I m watching more out of habit than raring for it
I thought it was a complete non event this evening. The scripts seem to be getting worse and it is all devoid of real entertainment. As for yet another message about health and now male breast cancer,it all sounds kind of desperate for ideas. Tonight was disjointed and disappointing. This is the first. time in sixty six years I have felt like this.

Me three - what a mess
