Good casting if that’s right. She’s not been gone that long though, has she?

That's being rumored with a long time. I hope it's true.

Sure they might as well take Denise back too. ( well they did have back for a short while for Daniel). Wasn’t it Denise’s hair salon?

Sparko

Evelyn is growing on me, her scenes with Roy were quite nice.

Postgrad10

I was actually saying that this evening. Corrie are lucky to have her.

Oliverdog

Did anyone else see the crucifix in the soil when Gary was scrabbling for it ?

CollyFlower

Gary's an idiot.... Jesus, why didn't Rob just tell Michelle what's going on, it's going to come out eventually.

Ooh I was thinking new boy James Bailey was living with his grandparents !!

Kauto0709

Isn't that a new kid playing Jake?

artvanderlay

Why does every scene with Kevin's one-legged kid involve him kicking a football around with middle-aged men?

I think the main reason Robert is lying and won’t tell Michelle is more that he doesn’t want Vicky to find out hes back with Michelle cause he’d be scared she could get an abortion or not allow him to be part of the child’s life.

He did tell her the reason they couldn’t be in a relationship is because he is not in the right place not because he’s back with Michelle.

Charles Dance made a good point about how good writing makes good characters in a GoT interview i seen. On this same note, Part of me thinks Angela Griffin is going to be totally obliterated by the writing in her second coming.

We're meant to be in for a Domestic abuse story line with

Jeff and Yasmeen.

Pamela Landy

Corrie consulted abuse experts about coercive control so I hope they do a good job of it.

He's quite controlling actually, recently moaning she hasn't enough time for him. I didn't think she was so keen on him that she'd put up with any crap.

Plus Michelle and Robert were on a break when he got with Vicky

Just catching up now. That ultrasound scene brought back very sad memories.

Ann22

Robert keeping yet another secret is exasperating. Id like to shake him til his teeth rattle! If he was honest straightaway he has a chance Michelle would accept it. As she's been feeling bad about not agreeing to have his child, down the line it should be a positive thing.

They broke up. Totally acceptable that he'd have another relationship after they broke up (Michelle dumped him right?) and I'm surprised he kept it so quiet in general. So I totally agree with what you're saying, it's just drama for the sake of drama but I guess we have to expect that in a soap!

Purple Mountain

^^ Deja vú.
Oliver was conceived by Steve and Leanne when Steve and Michelle were on a 'break'.

Gary always has money trouble then when he gets it he wastes it

Pamela Landy

GemNay saving for the babies again in the pub.

Hannibal_Smith

I'd love a kebab now

DJIMI TRARORE

Gary is some fcuking ass, envelope full of cash,leaving 15/16 quid of a tip, handing over cash to Izzy all in public when everyone knows he's not working

KevRossi

Also looked like a few grand in the safe, why did he leave it there if he is permanently broke.

And surely they need to drop the whole 'I tried looking everywhere, can't find a laboring job' schtick in the middle of a building boom in Manchester.

Postgrad10

Izzy should have pushed/strong armed him in to a job centre. In Corrie , jobs have to jump up and hit on the head or you have to blackmail someone in to giving you a job. I’m already bored with Tim’s father and Yasmeen. Yawn.

Pamela Landy

And does it have to be a building job? He's wandering around like an oul bull in a fog so where is he looking? Collect trollies in ASDA, forkilft driving... Warehouse helper. I'm actually getting annoyed.

He probally has the chip on his shoulder because that's his profession and he has to do it.

But you forgot it had to be on Coronation Street or Victoria Street. Possibly near the Red Rec but nothing further afield. It's the rule.

Postgrad10

He should take up barbering. And doesn’t he have a fitness qualification ?

Jikashi

Come on Gaz, if Chesney could afford to buy his house selling a few manky old dog bowls at a market stall, you can support yourself, with your experience in personal training, private security and construction. Though how you could protect anyone in Ukraine considering the frequency with which he gets the stuffing knocked out of him by the likes of David Platt, Roy Cropper, Rick Neelan and a string of bouncers and nightclub bullies, is beyond me.

I was certain Yasmeen was a tea totaller just a couple of weeks ago.

It was well done there the way they showed the signs of controlling behaviour starting....what a dickhead!! Poor Yasmeen..

As a Muslim woman, is that not expected of her?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I know Alya doesn't drink and her brother didn't for a long time either until he got dumped so I just assumed they didn't.

Speed Daal is not even BYOB, its tea of Mango lassi. They made a big point about that some time ago.

It really varies. I have holidayed in a few Muslim countries and some people are teetotalers and some drink wine or beer. Spirits are generally a no-go.

Either way, I'm pretty sure, 6 months ago Yasmeen didn't drink - at all. It's to facilitate this whole controlling behavior storyline thats coming up.

Thanks. It was almost 30 years ago but felt like yesterday when I saw that scene. Life, eh?

Yeah. I know what you mean. !

I hate Gemma and Chesney. Does anyone actually give a **** about these characters? I feel sorry for the quads that will have them f*ckwits as parents.

Steve and Tim should start a fight club. Gary can join it too, although he'd probably lose to everybody.

Steve looks like a guy that has shat himself on numerous occasions.

I think Gail might be amphibious.

Shelga

Hot hot hot Adam Barlow and Sarah’s blossoming romance has my attention. Literally every scene, I mentally commend this fictional character for dumping that loser Gary and switching to the far far superior and better looking Adam.

Jeff is absolutely horrible and I really hope this storyline with controlling Yasmeen doesn’t go on and on and on.

I hope Yasmeen ends up killing Jeff. And then, racked with guilt, she tops herself. Again, two rubbish characters nobody cares about.

I'm looking forward to the corruption of Anakin Windass. He's better as a sh*thead than as a sympathetic character anyways.

Did anyone see exactly what Gary gave Jenny? Just want to know if he was wrong or right about giving her a €20?

magicray

I was half watching did Geoff organise the mugging?

He gave her £10, there was a close up shot of it.

threetrees

I'm disliking the Jeff and Yasmeen story and not looking forward to when it gets more serious but I will admit that Jeff is playing the part well. I hope Tim disowns him when the story ends.
