Corrie 2026

Thanks, Bukkie and Calendargirl. Yes, I remember horrible Mal.

I hope Todd's not going to turn into a baddie. He was, at one time, I think, but then he softened. He needs to cut back on the drink.

When did Glenda move into Eileen's elastic house? Where do they all sleep? Todd, please move in with Summer.

Dis we know Ross was a prison officer? I thought he was an electrician?

No, the electrician was that awful chap who had the fling with Bernie, did work at Roy’s that resulted in disaster. Was his name Mal? Very unattractive. Can’t remember what happened to him.

Yes, Ross said he’d got a job at the prison, how convenient he happened to be on shift at visiting time with Richie and Tim.

Doodledog Quite often I think I have missed information or even a whole episode but I do remember it being mentioned that Ross is a prison officer. The inmates will have a field day ridiculing that wig.

I have added Richie to my long list of people I can’t stand. The bus must be full by now.

I am assuming Cassie has left for good or has a door been left open in case of a return in the future? I hope not.

As Ross has the photo that Fizz gave to Cassie as
she was leaving, I reckon he has done something to her.
Claire Sweeney is touring with Annie at the moment.

Gemma doesn’t have a front room. The front door opens straight into the living room.

Also very odd how she took Todd off for a drink to discuss funeral arrangements.

Don’t think it works like that at the Co Op.

Why on earth would you lend £5k to a dodgy new boyfriend who you really know nothing about, apart from the fact he’s Alya’s cousin/uncle? and you jumped into bed with him on the first date?

Surprised Leanne has £5k to spare.

Couldn’t get over ‘Celeste’ being played by Frances Barber. I know we are all ageing, and I suppose I am still thinking of her playing a beautiful, troubled opera singer in ‘Inspector Morse’ many years ago…..

Well I didn’t enjoy tonight episode much at all but I take the rough with the smooth and still keep coming back for more

This thread always has people complaining about how awful it is, yet they still watch it regularly enough to comment on past and present stories and characters .

I'm sure we all prefer some stories and characters to others, which is why there are multiple plotlines - so there is something for everyone - but it's not compulsory to watch it at all - if people dislike it so much they can do something else.

Absolutely and that is why I said "not sure why I am bothering to share this really"...was just thinking out loud I suppose.

Think I will fast forward on the prison scenes. Predictable and boring.
Just read a book by Jemma Forte. All about a family. Made me laugh and cry. I thought if only she was a writer for Corrie.

No longer any pleasure in it. Watching like a programmed robot.

with that number they would need two bathrooms.

We didn't even have one bathroom when I was a kid. Lav at the top of the backyard. The back to back houses shared.

So if Gemma’s house is two bedrooms how do they fit in 5 children?

Boys in one bedroom girls in the other. Parents use front room as a bedroom. Not unusual when I was a child.

Not sure why I am bothering to share this really, but what the heck has happened of late. This is not the Corrie that I want to watch...
Can't stand all of the prison stuff.
Then there's the horrible Ross why do we have to suffer these characters.
What is going on with Todd, guess this is leading to a drinking problem.
Don't like Idris either with his 'dodgy dealings'.
I think Lucy probably killed her mum, but then that has all been done before with Stu so who knows?!

These houses are barely two up and two down because downstairs there is a kitchen and a sitting room. I would imagine upstairs each has his or her own bedroom!

And why didn't Todd move in with Summer in the flat rather than moving into the overcrowded house with George? Has Lisa forgotten her flooded house? Has Daniel forgotten his inherited house? Am I overthinking this?

EllieAnne - I know what you mean about the houses. They are all made of elastic and like the Tardis. In boring moments I try to work out where they all sleep. Where does Lauren live?

Just how big are all the houses in the street? Sally’s,Gemma’s Ken’s and Tyrone’s must be bursting at the seems.

Yes, I'm puzzled that no one seems to have thought through childcare provision through the summer holiday for Harry.
Presumably, prior to her incarceration, his mother would have been at work each day.
