New thread.

BlueBelle you are not alone, I missed that also and I doubt if we were the only two! I am losing track of who is who, especially if they dye their hair or like the men, grow a beard.

I don't call myself Birdbrain for nothing.

Bluebelle I often feel like I have missed an episode. There was one earlier in the week that I felt had jumped. When did Ross move in with Kevin? I thought Abi and Alfie were back there.

BlueBelle Sun 09-Aug-26 13:32:37

H dear I must have missed an episode I didn’t t think I had though, but I didn’t see a long lost cousin arriving did I fall asleep ?

Charleygirl5 Sun 09-Aug-26 13:13:53

Are these houses two up and two down, rather than the palatial premises they are upstairs being able to offer anybody a bed for the night and no doubt each has his or her own room.

Should some not be paying more council tax as some of the "temporary" residents stay longer than 6 months.

Don't forget it is on tonight at 7.30pm

Calendargirl Sun 09-Aug-26 07:20:10

And now Tim has got a long lost ‘cousin’ just turned up!

No doubt another dodgy back story.

All these long lost relatives.

All invited to kip down for the night, and suddenly they’ve moved in…..

No doubt he’ll soon be driving a taxi, or buttering a barm at Roy’s Rolls….

Yes, definitely too many baddies, we need some likeable new characters.

Charleygirl5 Sat 08-Aug-26 08:20:26

Please be aware Corrie is on at 7.30pm for 30 minutes on Sunday, tomorrow evening.

I agree, too many baddies. We need some humour for a change.

Who will find Jodie's gun in the loft? U do wish she would buy a single ticket, destination anywhere and take Ross with her.

Sarnia Sat 08-Aug-26 07:47:31

Here comes another potential baddie with Tim's long lost cousin, Richie. Do we really need another?

Aveline Fri 07-Aug-26 08:31:47

I'll be recording it while I'm away so will avoid this thread as I don't want spoilers!

Charleygirl5 Fri 07-Aug-26 08:23:28

Is everyone aware it is not on tonight? I think it is rugby . We had an hour's viewing at the beginning of the week, I think but I will keep a watchful eye for Sunday night.

Is Ross to be a permanent fixture? His wig looks awful.

Lauren must have a very good babysitter as she appears to be out and about when the fancy takes her.

Sally handled the difficult conversation very well with Joanie.

Corrie went up a notch or two in my estimation, but they mustn't tackle too many large storylines at once.

Aveline Fri 07-Aug-26 06:50:38

Just don't watch it Denise14

Denise14 Thu 06-Aug-26 18:21:04

I’m fed up with corrie. Every week someone is in Hospital. It’s like they have no ideas left, except put someone in a hospital bed. And that nasty platt sister storyline is going just round in circles. End it please!

Mamo Thu 06-Aug-26 18:16:38

I thought the scene where Sally has a chat with the older foster child, Joanie (?), about what happened Betsy, was excellent. The young teen was mortified at first, but Sally emphasized what a dangerous practice sexual choking is very clearly, with a touch of humour. We could really see Joanie taking the advice on board. Well done Sally for just getting on with a difficult conversation!! 👏

Calendargirl Thu 06-Aug-26 17:56:52

Glad Sally had ‘the talk’ with Joanie.

Intended to highlight the sexual strangulation with teenagers.

Well done for that.

Aveline Thu 06-Aug-26 16:08:49

Her dysphasic/dysarthric speech is good too.

sodapop Thu 06-Aug-26 15:42:49

She has certainly proved she can act tanith well researched performance.

tanith Thu 06-Aug-26 15:25:49

Betsy (actress Sidney Martin) sat for hours while her team created a silicone mask of her face and made 3 prosthetics from it so her face realistically portrayed her stroke.

Aveline Thu 06-Aug-26 14:57:03

Oh no! What's come over us all? People actually praising Corrie! What a turn up!

Calendargirl Thu 06-Aug-26 09:04:38

That’s true BlueBelle, we don’t know how long she has had dementia.

This has obviously been brought in to highlight the challenges facing Debbie, Ronnie and all those other families.

Aveline Thu 06-Aug-26 08:39:49

Betsy is acting her head off! I'd no idea how good she was before this. An interesting storyline and well done by all.

I know Aveline it's so frustrating for Betsy though ( think I'm getting over involved in the story line) Finally tonight Lauren has understood a bit more.

I agree. Betsy was about to head off to university and an independent life, then after the accident her mum prevents her from seeing her boyfriend when she’s not able to do so off her own bat. That’s abusive, not caring, IMO.

BlueBelle Thu 06-Aug-26 06:49:35

Do we know she has nt been assessed though Calandergirl it’s only been a story the last couple of episodes Just because she’s living at home doesn’t mean she hasn’t been assessed

Calendargirl Thu 06-Aug-26 06:40:34

Sienna’s mother’s dementia was only mentioned the other day, now they are visiting what I assume are care homes or day centres.

Surely they would be going to the GP and getting her properly assessed, particularly as Sienna works for the NHS and must know what procedures are involved?
