New Corrie Thread

We are all fed up with Faye now- let her move to a Slough and disappear into the sunset. Is Brian’s Italian cousin a scammer? It’s quite amusing to see Mary jealous ! Will Hope end up in the young offenders/ prison set?

Yes. Bye Faye!

Mary last night when she marched up the street when Brian was smoking 🤣🤣

Have to say, that was rather a nice scarf the cousin gave Brian! But yes, maybe she's not quite what she seems.

She's not got much to gain from potentially scamming Brian though

Poor Mary. She is destined to stay alone forever, isn't she? She would be a nightmare partner in many ways, but she would be loyal and caring, and Brian isn't a great catch anyway. I think they would be well suited.

I don't know if Young Offenders would help Hope. Her problems go deeper than that. She seems to revel in her father's notoriety, but I don't think she ever knew him. The suggestion seems to be that she inherited his murderous tendencies, which is a strange message in 2023. She has a loving family in Fizz and Tyrone, and she's not deprived or noticeably different from her pals - she's just A Bad Lot. She has been overindulged IMO, but maybe that's because of her start in life (I can't remember the detail now, but she was called Hope because it was touch and go for her as a newborn).

What do you mean, it's not real? 😳

😂. I always thought they hadn't thought through her name - Hope Stape. Not great.

I think the Italian cousin is up to no good as well, not sure what she will gain from Brian though. I love Mary's character and eccentric ways, she is a joy to watch.
I saw a picture of Gemma's wedding dress yesterday - oh dear, but typically Gemma.

😂. I always thought they hadn't thought through her name - Hope Stape. Not great.

In Fizz's shoes wouldn't you change your name if your new husband turned out to be a killer who lugged about bodies wrapped in carpet? They weren't married long enough for her to have got used to the name.

Re Brian - is he married? I know he had a relationship with Eileen's sister, then the woman who used to work in the cafe but left to go on Waterloo Road (Cathy?), but did he have a wife in the first place? He was a head teacher, so if he hasn't lost out in a divorce he might have a few quid in the bank - does he have a house? Did he break up with Freda? They were a couple for a while too, I think? He must have something going for him to get through all these women, I suppose .

I don’t like Jackson. Craigie is much more genuine.

Don’t think Brian was ever with Freda, was he? That was Norris surely, or have I forgotten past storylines? I pity them, whoever they were.

Yes, I too have seen a picture of Gemma’s wedding dress.

The Quality Street tin has been raided!

Yes it was Norris & Freda not Brian.

Sorry maddyone but I think Craig has changed, he is turning into a quite unpleasant controlling man.

I don’t like Jackson. Craigie is much more genuine.

Maybe so (although sodapop has a valid point), but as my grandmother would have said, he's not bonny, is he?

Gemma and Chesneys wedding photo is absolutely fabulous! It couldn't be better. Completely them.

Spoiler alert. Here it is.

Aw!

They look great, and the quads do too.

OMG is all I have to say. but the kind of God-awful dress she would choose. There is a race whether the style or colour is the worst.

It's perfect for them, which is what matters

I think Craig is becoming tougher after being in the police for a while, which would be quite realistic.

Yes I agree Doodledog it is all so Gemma, love the children with their orange accessories.

ByeFaye - another one off in a taxi. We knew the Italian cousin was a bad ‘un. Freddie seen again at last, we knew he would end up with Evelyn. Why doesn’t Paul. share his illness with Billy. seems nuts that he won’t say anything to his partner. Wasn’t he lucky to get an instant hospital appointment?

Ahh I think she looks lovely not as bad as I expected it to be I thought she was going to look like a pantomime dame but that’s a perfect dress and they all look so lovely
No I ve gone a bit off Craigy too he’s not a bundle of laughs either
Jackson’s not really had a part to show any character ….anyway they ve gone so we ll have mopey Craigy now
Pauls walking around like Quasimodo and no one notices ???
I hope Roy isn’t going to leave us he’s one of the best in there

I hope Roy stays too. I wouldn’t blame the actor for retiring though. He’s served his time and the programme is on the decline- maybe better to go out before it does a Brookside?

I don’t understand Paul either. I do understand people not wanting to discuss their health and not wanting to be defined by it, but Billy is his partner and very used to dealing with difficult situations. It would be much easier if he confided in him. Having said that, Billy did go way over the top being protective of Summer, so maybe Paul is fighting against giving him that level of control? He won’t be able to hide it for much longer though. MND is a merciless disease. I hope he doesn’t push Billy away altogether before the truth comes out.

I thought Paul was keeping it quiet as he didn't want to spoil Gemma's wedding which seems reasonable although he's blown it now. Poor man. Also maybe trying to pretend to himself that it's not really happening. Very believable. Good acting too.
