New thread.

Why does everyone have to go to the Rovers after major events?

If I were Summer, having spent 3 weeks in prison for a non offence, I would be happy to sit quietly at home and just ‘chill’, instead of dashing out at the first opportunity.

Todd seems to have plenty of cash for drinks, seeing as he never seems to be working.

Ronnie also must have money to burn, arranging holidays for gangs of Debbie’s friends. What work is he supposed to do? I thought a while back he and Ed were building houses somewhere, did that all get completed?

Sam has definitely come into his own and did a great job acting
tonight I always found his acting fairly weak but he did really well in these more dramatic scenes 👏👏👏

Yes, I’d rather have two hour-long episodes than five half-hour ones. I’d prefer them to go back to 7.30 though.

Charleygirl5 Fri 12-Jun-26 23:04:47

It was so good watching an hour's episode for a change. I do wish we could revert.

Sarah is looking very shifty, I wonder if she killed Theo?

At least Summer is out and about again.

Poor Sam but so glad that he is now receiving help at last.
There are so many threads on the go now!!

Doodledog Fri 12-Jun-26 22:33:23

Yes, it was very well done. I don't know how you cope when a loved one goes through something like that.

nanaK54 Fri 12-Jun-26 22:19:13

That made me cry, poor Sam

Doodledog Fri 12-Jun-26 18:38:32

Well, Sarah has homicidal form, doesn't she? And she was married to Todd (or was she? They lived together and had a baby, anyway, who died soon after birth), and she was with Gary for a while, too, so it would fit that she'd be protective of Todd, and that Gary would be protective of her.

They's be hopeless in MI5 though. All that eye contact and raised eyebrows would raise the suspicions of enemy agents in short order. All they ned is newspapers with holes cut out to look through.

EllieAnne Fri 12-Jun-26 18:23:22

I’m beginning to wonder if Sarah killed Theo and Gary is helping her cover it up.

Charleygirl5 Fri 12-Jun-26 08:26:14

I can't stand Carl and this Idris character is up to no good. Where does he work and live?

At least we have an hour's viewing tonight so with luck we will make more sense of it.

I have no idea what Gary and Sarah are hiding. I thought they were having a secret affair but now I am not so sure.

I agree, everything is dragged out too long we lose the will to live when we do discover the perpetrator.

Very true! grin

Bukkie Thu 11-Jun-26 18:10:18

To be quite honest by the time they reveal the killer none of us will care.

Maggiemaybe Thu 11-Jun-26 14:12:36

It was the school that rang Social Services, Devorgilla. As for the rest of it - the phone in the skip, Summer’s brooch, Jodie’s agenda, Sarah and Gary’s sneaking around, etc - I’m clueless, wandering in the wood with you, just hoping for a few plot lines to end some time soon. I’ve gone right off Todd, yapping and snapping at all and sundry. I wouldn’t mind now if he was revealed as the killer.

Devorgilla Thu 11-Jun-26 12:52:35

I feel I need to watch the week Theo got killed again. Maybe Gary saw who killed him - Sarah/Todd? - and took charge of the situation to cover up.
So, if I heard correctly, according to Daniel, the Social Worker informed Social Services. I thought she came after he had been reported. Or did he say the School? Losing the plot. Feel the writers need to do a bit of a tidy up so we can see the wood from the trees. Start with Jodie and Megan.

vegansrock Thu 11-Jun-26 06:07:44

Didn’t Theo chuck the phone in the skip?

JackieBee1 Thu 11-Jun-26 05:51:55

I'm lost.
What are Gary and Sarah in cahoots about, and how and why did Todd's phone end up in the skip?

nanaK54 Wed 10-Jun-26 21:14:10

Oh no! I really didn't want it to be Gary

I don’t like the portrayal of Roy as an evil influencer. I think it’s worse than the horrible Theo scenario. Don’t like it at all. Hope this disappears very soon and joins other ridiculous story lines. What the hell has happened to the Corrie I have enjoyed for over 60 years? Roy has been the most consistently decent and likeable person in the series for a long time.No the writers have to muck him up in the most
cringeworthy way. I know it’s all in Sam’s head but that’s no excuse.

I feel exactly the same. This storyline is beyond awful.

Aveline Wed 10-Jun-26 08:53:50

It's interesting to show early psychotic episodes experienced by young teenagers but I don't think this is a good way to show it. One can tell when a person is listening or responding to an auditory or visual hallucination without having to see or hear what they are responding to. Could they not have shown Sam just apparently talking to himself but with the script he says demonstrating what's going on?

BlueBelle Tue 09-Jun-26 22:50:30

Exactly MaggieMay and Lovetopaint I don’t think they ve got this Roy/Sam business right at all

Maggiemaybe Tue 09-Jun-26 22:43:40

I agree with you, Lovetopaint. Surely we can be allowed one honourable and decent adult character and one relatively untroubled teen. Besides which, it’s highly unlikely that Sam and evil Roy could carry out their frequent conversations, at school, in the caff, on the street, without anyone around them noticing anything untoward!

No need to apologise BlueBelle. I just don’t want you to be sitting down at 8pm and turn on your tv to find a football game 😄

BlueBelle Tue 09-Jun-26 18:02:57

Sorry Granny I read NanaK s post above without seeing the date it was posted, I apologise

Grannynannywanny Tue 09-Jun-26 17:45:32

Hi BlueBelle, I’ve just read your post about this evening. I’ve double checked the ITV website and they’re still saying it’s not on tonight. It says it’s Women’s European Qualifiers match. I checked the guide on my tv box and it says football and no Corrie.
