    I also don't understand how Carla has been somehow seconded into Weathy police force. And as usual, it seems that any Tom Dick or Harry can just rock up to the hospital and pop into a patients room. Carla doesn't even know Costello!

    I'm also sick of Carla swooping in and out, dumping her massive bunch of keys and phone on the table then minutes later scraping them all back up and flouncing off again.

    And what about Betsy whingeing about the washing machine making her clothes smelly! She showed no concern for Carla and the fact that she felt driven out of her own house by Badly Drawn Becky! What's wrong with her other mummies sorting the washing machine issue out?


    Neither do I. Do Corrie really expect us to believe this would really happen! :lol:


    Been saying this for a while. It seems this is on rinse and repeat. And she certainly does swoop and then sweep out of the room.


    What a bl00dy pain the backside Betsy is. Was that coursework for some design course she was doing at the table? The lazy moo couldn't even be bothered with that. But of course, in the future she will end up as Underworld's top designer. Underworld always have to have one of those every few years.

    They've had Alya, Angie, Nina and James. Even Carla started as a designer. Now she runs the factory and she's also doing Swain's job. She even started but didn't complete an investigation into who spiked Lauren. What a multi-talented woman.

    Blanche Hunt: Good looks are a curse, Deirdre. You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky. = Brilliant!!! @SeagullNipple thankyou for the link.

    From back in the day when the writers could write. Blanche was a battle axe, but she was a witty one. My favourite quip from her was about Roy and Haley, "She's a man and he's a looney". They'd never get away with a line like that these days.


    That really was hilarious and Blanche delivered the line so well.

    How many friends had Joanie invited? The amount of food was as though they thought she was bringing the whole school! Even by snobby Sally's standards it was way over the top!

    And the food was traditional 'tea party' food - sandwiches, cake and possibly vol au vents?
    Youngsters that age might prefer pizza or chicken nuggets or something. d the party at
    It was all a bit odd.

    You'd think Sally would be more at ease, considering she brought up two girls of her own. Both who had their own struggles.

    Yes vol au vents as Tim kept getting told off as Sally was going to take the food to the Underworld Xmas Party!
    As you say it is not the type of food kids these days want.


    That didn't make sense because they had the party at the bistro.

    Yes I have just posted similar, and assumed they ate it in the factory earlier. But she definitely said she was keeping the food for the staff party 🙄


    Was it an error?

    Really not following this Becky / Costello story. So what's the thing with him buying a new house with his wife, coincidentally shortly after Becky 'died'? I'm probably zoning out as the whole thing is like watching paint dry, but I'm really losing track with it all.

    It's just being stretched out for no reason.

    The scene where Kit tunred up at the house and said that Costello was retiring to the lakes, then Lisa saying she didn't know that , retiring? to the lakes? I'm thinking so what!... we had gone from Rhubarb at the hospital to kit announcing to Becky (the woman who he suspects of..well I'm not sure what of to be honest, faking her death?, being corrupt? trying to murder Costello? Who knows!), that he knows about the Lakes, and the house 🙄

    Then him ringing Carla and excitedly telling her all about it, like a kid out of the Goonies!

    And Costellos wife comes across as really defensive, so is she in on it too? or just bad acting? Has Becky done something to Carla to get her phone, did Carla send the message, do we care???

    Carla was in her usual mode of grab keys, grab phone, grab bag, grab coat and stomp off again tonight. Rinse and repeat.

    And there seemed to be a lot of lurking round doors/corners and listening in to conversations in that house tonight.

    So Carla is working undercover for the police now, is she?!! She has beef with Becky, so she will have to be in on catching her and confronting her! Meanwhile, what is Swain who is a police officer supposed to be doing?!! This SL is utter nonsense.

    It seemed a reasonable explanation to say that there was no prison visiting on Christmas Day. But at Sally's it was blonde, teenage strop night.

    Why does Debbie want Abi at her wedding? When Abi was with Kevin, she was never particularly nice to Debbie.

    I know it lets Carl off the hook for now but does anyone know if Tyrone's case would really be dropped so quickly? Will the drone footage be relevant?

    I'm sure it will or they wouldn't have made a point of showing it straight after Carl thinks he's in the clear. Carl is also building up to needing an exit fairly soon, what with him ripping Debbie off at the hotel and also being involved in a hit and run.

    Lots of characters missing at the moment as well. Gemma, Chesney, Mason, Dylan, all not been seen for ages.

    Surely there's a reason? ;)

    Mason could easily come back from witness protection, because his brothers were involved with faking Becky's death. Unless Asha actually saw him die of course, I am not sure?

    I think it was Asha who told Abi and Betsy he was dead? didn't Betsy see his body (or was it refused I forget)...but then apparently neither she nor her mother saw Becky's body after she died either! (Sorry I could understand them agreeing to Costello identifying her, but surely anyone would want to see their Partner/Mother in the undertakers?).

    Find me the person who is!
    At least i'm not bothered I just want the terribly boring story to end. I too zone out every time anyone to do with it is on screen 🥱

    Completely agree. In the space of a few months of a badly thought out and scripted story they've managed to ruin Carla's character, shown that both Lisa and Baby Betsy would be better off leaving and for some reason brought in a boy trapped in a 1990's timewarp pretending to be a woman. This storyline can't end soon enough.

    I've no idea why Carla would want to get back with her anyway, it's obvious that Lisa prefers to put her hands over her ears and go lalala, when it comes to Becky..and doesn't believe a word out of the mouth of the woman she professes to love and wanted to marry!

    Lauren is so up herself these days . Kit ordered a coke and tendered a bank note and told her to keep the change I'm out of touch with pub prices these days but it seemed to be a very big tip.

    This made me laugh - did you see the measure she gave him?!? Luckily it had miraculously topped itself up by the time he sat down with Carla :D

    I noticed recently that many of the customers were just tapping with their mobiles to pay. Wonder why Git didn't?

    Lauren is a right mardy madam, she's sour-faced and has attitude. She says she loves her job, well I wouldn't like to see how she'd behave if she hated it. Get rid.

    we get people in real life who are perpetual mardy buggers so Lauren is just fitting that characterisation quite well.

    in real life she's quite jolly, her and sydney (betsey) are really good friends.

    was in work one time before my shift and the manager came in and chatted to me, just to escape our particularly mardy young colleague we were working with that day

    not everybody in real life is happy 24/7, chesney's the same

    Yes we do and I've met plenty. Lauren is a barmaid though and that's not a job for a person with a face that permanently looks like a well slapped ar$e. People go to pubs to relax and enjoy themselves, not to have a misery guts glowering behind the bar. She even gets annoyed when asked to serve a customer. What she loves about her job I've no idea, probably being paid for doing sweet fanny adams.

    Chesney is a dreadful misery guts too and seems perpetually worried. However he doesn't have attitude, unlike madam, and I find him likeable. Joseph is a little misery but we've not seen him in ages.


    I absolutely agree about Lauren and you are spot on about Chesney and Joseph.

    Can you blame Joseph for being a misery, living in that family? The poor kid probably has to share a bedroom with at least one or two of the quads, and he's probably getting to that age now where boys need a little 'private time'. 😆

    solution to that is for Chesney to pretend Joseph is just always 6 like Fiz does with the girls.

    Was it just me that thought that whole episode was a load of crap?

    No just you. I thought it was utter tripe.
    I don't like any of the Driscolls but Maggie is by far the worst of the bunch. She's utterly vile, imagine having her for a MIL? 😲

    She's like a psycho threatening and glaring at people for no reason. She made a face after doing a card reading for Asha. Why, she doesn't even know the girl. You'd think she'd been grateful that Asha indulged her nonsense. She bit Sean's head off when he said he believed in psychic stuff. She's gratuitously rude and aggressive, ideal qualities for a landlady, eh.

    When Eva said to her that she'd never cheat on Ben, Driscoll said "it'd be a brave woman who did". So what happened to the mother of her grandchildren? Did Driscoll push her down the stairs to get rid of her? I'm very interested to know about the mother of the boys.

    Can't disagree about Maggie. I hate it when new characters come in and immediately want to 'stamp their mark'. It takes time for a new resident to settle into a community, and I know she technically part owns the pub, but she's way too aggressive and outspoken for a newcomer.

    And what did Maria actually do to her hair? It just seemed to have been combed back and tied up. Hardly a makeover. But no one ever comes out of the salon looking any different to when they went in.

    How long before Theo spots the hidden camera? Rather than just leave the relationship, Todd seems intent on setting himself up for more abuse. You start to lose sympathy for people in situations where they won't help themselves. Why doesn't he just move back into Eileen's house?

    Back to Maggie and the flashbacks, one thing that did strike me was the actress playing the young Maggie had her voice down to a tee. I almost wondered her speech had been overdubbed with Pauline McLynn's real voice? If not, the young actress was bloody good! But why did he open his eyes at the bottom of the stairs? I thought he was meant to be dead?

    There's still been no mention of who Ollie's mother was / is. Clearly he comes from mixed race parentage, and clearly Will and the little girl don't, so that's something else which needs unravelling.

    Nice to see Ken and Rita. Barbara Knox looks fantastic for her age, and Ken is looking quite healthy as well. I thought it was quite amusing when Roy was trying to escape from the party. 😄

    I read something like the actress has played Mrs Doyle on stage or something - can't remember the details.

    Yes, she played her in a school show :)
    https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41755512.html

    And there it is … I said it was more like Cork than Galway. In fairness, she had a good chunk of Mrs Doyle’s linguistic tics and intonation but one could hear the Cark vowels bai, itching to burst out. Not unlike Eva.

    I think only an Irish person would be able to tell the difference. Most people would just think "oh, an Irish accent".

    i guess it's like other regional and local accents, preston sounds different to burnley and barrow (pronounced barror) is very different, not just northern accents. guess it's the same with londoners, east end and west end accents. houndslow sounds different to bow?

    Very different and for the record Londoner and Cockney are not interchangeable terms. Cockneys come from a very specific area (born within the sound of Bow bells is what people used to say)

    i know, that's why i didn't mention cockeys

    I know you didn't personally but as a supporter of EPL team that is west London supporters from teams from outside Lonson singing "we hate cockneys" gets a little tiring. I suppose Geordies feel the same about being lumped in with Mackems?

    My husband, who is from Sunderland, gets annoyed if people think he is a Geordie. Which I am. I've explained that anyone further south can't tell the difference between the accents. A man in a Liverpool pub called him "Geordie boy". He wasn't best pleased!

    I'd completely forgotten he went to Oakhill. I know that I should know who it who. But it's getting quite hard to keep up with who's who and doing what when they disappear for weeks on end and then just breeze back in. Understand there are filming schedules and school for the child actors, but I don't remember it always being like this. Maybe I'm just getting old.

    I think in real life if nobody turned up to your (foster) daughter's party you would immediately ask all the neighbours and their children to come round.
    It is very unlikely that Sally and Tim would do nothing.

    I wondered if there never was a children's party and Joanie made up that she has friends to hide the fact she has none?

    We saw her looking out of the window expectantly waiting for people to turn up. If your theory is true then she could have been just looking out the window at nothing in particular

    Also it would seem a bit out of order to make Sally go to all that trouble making all that food if she knew nobody was coming. Luckily Sally was able to use the food for the factory party

    Don't forget Git. Raisin awareness is my favourite, followed by Treeo. They are all good though and make a fun addition to the comments.

    What a bl00dy pain the backside Betsy is.

    She pays no attention to what is happening. She seems to think her mums will form a throuple with Carla and they will all live happily ever after in Teddy Bear Wood.

    Yes she really is a childish ditzy blonde when at home with her 3 mummies 🙄
    What a contrast to the feisty law breaking Betsy of old!

    You'd think that the police would have recruited her by now!

    It's absolutely ludicrous that Carla is with a senior police officer who is doing absolutely nothing and we all know why. Corrie are so stupid. If they could get away with it Carla would probably end up arresting Becky. But that honour will most likely have to go to Kit. Carla will most likely be there to have her say though.

    If Becky is caught, I am so worried as to what will happen to lickle, baby Betsy. But she'll probably be ok and go off on a teen/strop rampage. :neutral:

    From back in the day when the writers could write. Blanche was a battle axe, but she was a witty one. My favourite quip from her was about Roy and Haley, "She's a man and he's a looney". They'd never get away with a line like that these days.

    I still call aadi and asha, asda and aldi that's when you know the writing was good. Now if I watch any of the soaps iv forgotten what they said 10 minutes after it was on.

    I’m sure the Asda & Aldi nicknames were said on DS first before they were spoke on Corrie itself

    Were they? I was part of ds back then but I'm not sure i really paid attention to posts
