I am confused at corrie with these story lines of grooming and human trafficking - it seem factually that when I hear of these instances on SkyNews or newspapers the leaders who are up in court do not seem to be of white English descent , they are Pakistani or Indian or black when they are up in court for grooming or human trafficking. <part removed >

I think that's just it they wanted to explore the Eastern European gangs also. There was a program on a while back about Romanians crammed into rooms maybe 20 in a 3 bedroom house. Working crazy hours in car washes and building too I think it was. So they are not far off.

I'm sure there was a case only a couple of weeks ago about Poles making millions in England and jailed on modern slavery charges. ALL white European.

This is it.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned before but anyone else think Seb is an atrocious actor?
Always has a face on him like he’s just smelled something rancid.

Pamela Landy

Yeah I think he went to the Fart in a Lift school of drama with Nick/Ben Price.

true - it must be the grooming gangs I am just thinking of then (as in the storyline of Bethany)

Andy From Sligo

Seb is pretty dense telling Yan he saw him going to the nail bar and believing his story about doing work there .. he should have gone to eileen with his suspicions .. mind you, the look what Seb gave at the end (didnt know if he was acting or farting LOL) might be that he still has his suspicions that something fishy is going on about all this and still go to eileen with his concerns

freshpopcorn

I actually found Seb scurrying around in his tracksuit/hood up kid of funny. He was trying to be invisible but he stood out like hell!

Andy From Sligo

Seb was bloody clever getting such good pictures from randomly pointing his phone in front of a bin and not looking where he was pointing his phone! - is there no end to this lad's talent?

He is absolutely terrible. He does this thing with his mouth that drives me mad and everything he says has a sense of urgency even if its not urgent.

FYP

Andy From Sligo

So I am trying to get my head around this one. Is Yan (or Jan) the one involved in human trafficking and the kingpin or is he under this British white Mancunian nail bar boss who has stole his passport as well and had given him a dump to live in and 50p an hour , because as I said before normally in the news it's a foreign gang that are involved in human trafficking in the news normally.

I suppose we will get to find out soon (hopefully if they don't stage the storyline out) but I am just thinking now that maybe Yan is the boss of the gang maybe and that the nail bar boss is working for him? .. but then why would he need building jobs and the like then if he is the boss/organiser of the the trafficking gang?

Actually 'Jan' is not his name, he's really Nicolai and is married to the Nail Bar Manager Rachel! He's the kingpin.

They kind of signposted that a bit too well really.

I have never seen such a busy nail bar.

I dont know why I click on these spoilers , it only spoils the 'surprise' (if you can call it that) - but i cant resist

ah right, so thats whats going to happen then .. so if he is married to the nail bar boss , why then is he getting with Eileen???

I think him and Rachel don't want people/the authorities to know they're married so Eileen is a cover. Paula knows him which is why he acted really evasive when Eileen questioned him about how he knows Paula. Paula cannot tell anyone because of client confidentiality.

So clever in fact he said he'd get Alina a job to get away when for the last year he couldn't even get himself a job!

They are spoilers on the Coronation Street fan page that would disagree with this.
They show two man fighting one called Jan and the other called Nicilai.

I was just going by what I'd heard. Jan is definitely involved with the Human Trafficking.

KevRossi

I think Jan

might be involved, but is looking for a way out. I think he was involved with the gang on a low level and might be in some kind of debt to the gang, or in fear of them. I also think that he genuinely has feelings for Eileen. So I think he will sacrifice himself in some way to save Eileen from some trouble, if this means him getting killed, or going to prison, I don't know. Also, he is Polish, Alina in Romanian and Nikolai is a very Romanian name, so that's the other reason why I think he's a foot soldier and not an organiser.

He comes across as a decent actor IMO

The best baddies are!

Andy From Sligo

Blimey , Jan looks so different clean shaven!:

I very vaguely remember him now in a few episodes of EastEnders too - being a possible love interest for Shirley Carter when he owned a Polish Delicatessen

**** I just googled for jan's real name and massive spoilers everywhere, I don't know why they release stuff like that.

unfortunately that - and it must be the soap people who post out the spoilers , because you see credits underneath the photo of scenes to come and credited to ITV

maybe they release stuff like this to get more viewers , post out a few scenes and hope people will tune in to see how it all unfolds

Robert is stressing me out. I'll have gall stones by the time this story line is done :pac:

I bet Michelle goes off with flashy posh git Ray

I still think Jan is a good guy and will probably turn out to be a deep cover cop.

If i was female and pregnant I would lounge around too

i'd wheel out the "ooh I'm feeling a bit flushed - I think its high blood pressure, and its not good for the baby" ....

ah yeah, I'd be really milking it I reckon

JP Liz V1

Eileen quizzes Jan. He insists he was working in Birmingham, but something is niggling her and she heads to the salon.

Eileen is shocked to find Jan, Nikolai and Rachel hastily putting all the fixtures and fittings into a van.

Eileen is gutted when Jan tells her that he's a liar and a cheat and that he never cared for her. A fight ensues between Jan and Nikolai, who smashes Eileen's phone so she can't call the police.

As Eileen starts to fear for her life, the police smash their way into the salon and arrest them all and cart them off to the police station. Having been interviewed by the police, Eileen is released without charge.

Abi explains how Seb called the police which led to the raid on the nail bar. A downbeat Eileen tells Abi that Jan was part of the trafficking ring.

Sue Cleaver lost 3st. I thought it showed tonight.

Rachel was talking to Jan in tonights episode and then he left and Rachel called Nikolai.

Claudia and her decluttering. :rolleyes

Agree but ffs it is just not practical. Her and Tyler are odious...there is no way Robert would sleep with someone like that

Vicky and Tyler have been softened up and humanised for this storyline. Tyler has changed due to his new job that Robert helped him get. Vicky was grateful, began to trust Robert so opened up to him and showed her vulnerable side. It's a pity the start of Vicky and Robert's relationship happened off screen.

She was vile during that storyline alright.

The nail salon boss makes a good hateful character.
Hope they keep her in it for a while.

I think Vicky and even Tracy were better matches for Robert than Michelle
