Hadn’t thought of that. Would be kinda funny if she’s Steve’s aunt and not his daughter!

His sister, surely?

If she's Jim's daughter, that would make her Steve's half sister.

She is coming back.

Probably will make a brief return and will come back for a longer duration after a while.

It's obvious that Jed has a fake Belfast accent as it is too slow, kind of like Liam Neesons mixed up accent. It is more pleasant than real Belfast accents though.

That was an interesting twist with that old hair dresser, I always thought that girl looked like her.

You know corrie has gone bad when your pleased to see Dev is back.

JP Liz V1

The Fiona I remember would be back straight away to support her daughter

I hope Fiona shows up in person and not just a call with Emma

I have a limited memory of Fiona but I think she was a happy go lucky character.

She might return and say her husband was abusive to her or something and that's why she had little contact.

Fiona and Emma don't seem to get on I wonder why?

Is Fiona married again in Oz?

Have always wondered about the Irish connection in Corrie. We know Jim used to in the British Army. So he's of that stock so he is This Vicky one is probably the same given her name. I don't know about her partner Jed.
The 'other' Irish the Connor family are staunch southerners. Michelle travelled to Kildare I believe to see her mother. Keith Duffy, well we know where he's from. There was a young Irish fellow who featured a few months ago then suddenly disappeared. He planted drugs in a car or something. From the south too I believe. Sinead has an Irish name with no links to Ireland I dob't think. I think Joe Lynch was in it ages ago. Was there someone selling jewelry last year from Ireland as well? Bit of a conman?

Yes, that's right. Selling rings or dreams or something.
Simon Delaney. A real conman.

Big Jim what about ye can't be Emma's Dad - wasn't he supposed to be infertile at that stage?

Don't know what is supposed to have happened with the Fiona Middleton character, the old Fiona would not have treated her daughter like that.

Is/Was Jim infertile?

I agree about Fiona, so out of character from what I remember of her, she was also a good skin, wanted kids and was happy with son Morgan with Alan

Early days in Corrie featured these Irish actors
Doreen Keogh who went on to play Barry's mother in Fair City and Mary in the Royal family.


Joe Lynch played a taxi driver back in the late 70s


I thought Milo O'Shea was in it years ago but I can't find any details

spurious

Big Jim had a vasectomy after Katy. There was some story about him maybe being Fiona's older child's father but then they proved he was still infertile from the vasectomy.

A couple of years later Steve was on/off with Fiona and Maxine. Then Fiona left.

KevRossi

One of the Cusacks was a psycho babysitter who was obsessed with Martin Platt IIRC.

EDIT: Googled it; she was a nurse who convinced Gail that she was having an affair with Martin.

bobbyss

There was also a Nora Jane Noone who was a love interest of Steve I think. She didn't become pregnant.

SouthernBelle

Catherine Cusack (daughter of Cyril) was in it for a while too as a crazy nurse colleague of Martin's.

I thought she was the crazy nanny!(Didn't relies she was a nurse to).

Gareth Gates and Faye Brokkes(Kate Connor) have called off their engagement!

threetrees

The actors who play Michelle's parents are Irish too. Another Cusack played the mum originally but afair a different but still Irish actor played her in later episodes.

Blaming Audrey for keeping her in the dark, Emma announces she is leaving Weatherfield and packs her bags.

Despite everyone, including Amy, persuading her to stay, Emma sadly says goodbye to Maria, Gemma and Chesney. Amy tells Steve and Tracy they have to sort it out as she is part of the family.

Meanwhile, Shona and Billy prepare for Lily's birthday party. Max is playing up, and pretending to take his ADHD medicine, he pockets the tablets. When Nick arrives with Lily's present, Max kicks off and Shona has to ask everyone to leave.

Elsewhere, Tim calls at Number 11 and tells Eileen to pull herself together as she's needed back on the Street Cars switch. Eileen is touched and heads upstairs for a shower.

Also, Bethany tells Daniel that she has decided she's going to write up her experience with Nathan as it might help other girls to avoid falling into the same trap. Daniel is impressed.

Finally, with Roy run off his feet, Aggie offers up her services. Roy agrees to give her a trial.


Amy and Tracy set off to try and find Emma. Amy begs Chesney, Gemma and Maria to tell her where she has gone.

Later, Tracy and Amy find an upset Emma on the station platform. Will they be able to convince her to stay?

Meanwhile, Shona is furious at Max for ruining Lily's party. She admits to Audrey and Sarah that he has been like this for weeks and she is at the end of her tether. Checking his medicine box, she finds it empty but Max produces a packet from his pocket and insists he is taking them.

Elsewhere, having taken Tim's advice, Eileen returns to work and announces she is giving up men as it always ends in disaster. Tim is sceptical.

Also, Ed and Aggie are reunited, much to the delight of their sons.

Ann22

Emma actress played a blinder, at her dad's bedside. I found it incredibly moving. I just wanted someone to give her a cuddle. Was glad she had Audrey and Maria for support.

Why is Emma at work? Ud think Audrey would give her at least paid leave.

Oh I missed it! Anyone give me a quick update please? I'm recording the later one.

JP Liz V1

Is Robert doing a Peter Barlow, marrying both

rapul

The face on him during that supposed proposal!

Shelga

This Robert storyline is beyond ridiculous now.

fin12

Does Robert not realize that when Vicky find out that he never wanted to be with her and was back with Michelle all the time, she will probably never let Robert see his kid as revenge. She definitely seems the type that would use her kid to punish Robert.

runningbuddy

Vicky to Tyler. whatever lad in Ireland is called "will look after us, now that Robert won't" What is this, the 1950s??

Robert with the chavvy pair, Vicky and Tyler just looks so ridiculous

Jikashi

God I hate Liz so much, she couldn't leave an incredibly delicate situation alone for five minutes to let bereavement settle and get more concrete evidence, bleating about HER right to have a grandchild like it's all about her, who cares about the potential emotional damage to Emma and Steve. She did exactly the same thing when Steve, Leanne and Nick were happy to keep their arrangement regarding Oliver, with whom Liz is never, ever shown spending time.
I fondly remember one time she was going off on one about blood relation being all that matters when the adopted Simon Barlow told her to put a sock in it.

CollyFlower

How much deeper **** can Robert get himself into.... :rolleyes:

I may have missed it. Was it just a one night stand between Vicky and Robert???

No, they began a relationship (off-screen) while Robert was split from Michelle. Michelle got back with Robert, he wanted to dump Vicky entirely but then found out she is pregnant.
