Coronation Street

I don't think the Yasmeen story seems that believable, if any man told me to do more housework or to do it properly he would be sporting panda eyes. Geoff will get his come uppance, the house is Yasmeen's, he is a freeloader. Last night he took her cards off her so a criminal too.

I could not agree more Doodledog, with Steve not far behind.

I had not noticed Summer was not there- has she gone for good? I do hope so.

I think David’s drugged rape seemed very topical last week when that serial date rape person was jailed for his awful crimes.

We complain about it constantly, but out of habit we keep watching, don’t really look forward to it anymore though.

harrigran I can assure you Yasmeen’s story is believable (to me anyway) and I’ve witnessed this happening several times in my previous job. Domestic abuse is very real and I’ve just been out with 2 friends who I worked with and we discussed this storyline and recalled cases we knew about. Sadly this is happening and is so sad. I’m just wondering how long the writers are going to continue with this. Personally I hope for not much longer

I've never thought Yasmeen was a very convincing actress somehow. I find that storyline quite irritating. I am absolutely sure that sort of thing happens I hasten to add but it's not done well on Corrie.
Meanwhile, there are so many other stories going on too. What a soap!

I don’t find this storyline at all convincing, I’m probably naive, but I can’t see a feisty, intelligent woman like Yasmeen, being taken in, especially when surrounded by friends and family.

Roy's flat must be full up but still he invites more people to stay there. Where is former businesswoman Carla going to go if the niece moves in? Isn't it about time Carla found herself a proper job or founded a dynasty or something? She must need the money to pay the hairdresser.

I quite like the niece, I expect her and Karla will produce an amazing fashion label, and before we know it she’ll be a Karla clone.

I often wonder how so many of them have the money to buy breakfast so frequently at Roy's when they are either unemployed or probably earning the minimum wage. Where am I going wrong?

It's worse on Eastenders. Elastic sided houses and no visible means of earning a wage either for so many of the residents. Just buy a villa in Portugal? No bother!

Fed up of this storyline. Will be glad when it ends. Do so hope Geoff is caught out and is left on his uppers!! It is not only women who do what men want, it can be men doing what women want. A frightening situation for family members to watch either way.

I don’t think I’ve ever gone out for breakfast in my life, do people actually do it? Or is it just a soap invention?

I like Dev but he’s an abysmal actor really wooden
What happened to his daughter and her self harming did that fizzle out or did i miss it

Yes why do characters just disappear from soaps without explanation. I agree about Dev also Steve McDonald, he is a terrible actor too but does make me laugh at times.

I’m amazed by how many of the characters supposedly have children, but the adults are always in the pub. Where are their children then?

The children will be looked after by other family members, as there must be so many step, half and blended families on CS.
