Duncan in Metro has Daniel cheating on dying Sinead (cancer returns) with Bethany

That would be very out of character for him. Typical Corrie to throw in an affair as a storyline.

Pamela Landy

When they run low on ideas they must pull names out of a blue hat and a pink hat and see how it looks. Then pregnancy test kit on top of the kitchen bin rubbish... Rinse, repeat.

- the bustard! i can kinda like see how that happens, the other day how he stuck up for her i thought was much more than friends would stick up for each other - i wondered if he had feelings for her

Ah Jaysus! He's going to be astray in the head with grief never mind the guilt.

How many children does Steve have? Amy, Oliver and now Emma? And Ruari aswell of course.

Why is Tracy going mad, sure she wasn't with Steve then. Typical Tracy. However, I'd imagine Tracy, Amy and Emma will eventually get on and it'll be happy families for a bit. Granny Liz might be a bit overpowering for Emma though!

Loved Amy’s reaction on the street. What did you do now? That only could come from Tracy’s daughter. Such good casting.

Ann22

I dont find Amy much good. Very over dramatic facial expressions like she's posing for one of those photo stories in 80s teenage mags like Jackie and Blue Jeans. Yeah very like Kate Ford's portrayal of Tracey alright.

I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long for Max to act up.

Leanne was rather selective in listing the things she did in her life to 'put bread on the table'.

JP Liz V1

Tracy did good, glad Emma is staying

Leanne was going through similar with that little **** simon , suprised she never give shona any tips.

Has max had any counselling ayway with what happened to his mum and the ADHD and a father like David - or as normal the doctor just said here take this medication ?

Oh yea sorry, he was trying to choke Sarah and Kylie bashed him over the head.

Shona starting to carry something in front of her tummy strategically or stand behind something to hide her (real life) pregnancy.

I'm pretty satisfied with the new family in Number 3 so far. It's nice to see relatively realistic characters that aren't written to "rock the cobbles" and start loads of beefs with the existing cast (aside from the brief wall situation), the lads aren't smooth talking heartbreakers, the husband isn't a big tough guy or braggart and the wife is a pragmatist who doesn't just nag and shriek but takes charge. Hopefully they will have potential and not deflate quickly like other entire-family cast intakes in the last decade (Nazirs, Mortons, Armstrongs).

Yes but the nurse/pharmacy technician wife has already got the predictable job at Roy's Rolls.

Ann22

Haven't seen tonight's yet. I think I like the new family's dad and the sons are ok but I can't warm to the mother. I know it's going back a bit but I can't get past her gossiping about Kirk' s rash. What a horrible thing to do. She says she's a trained nurse???

I agree and telling everyone what her husband did over the counter in Roys while her husband was standing there wasn't nice, I thought she was tough and would have tried to understand why her husband did what he did (losing them their home) he's trying to make it better. Her character should be more understanding and help him with his addiction

Couldn’t she have been comfort eating since David went to prison ?:)

That new family are as boring. Wouldn’t care in the slightest if they disappeared. Where’s Phelan when you need him? It’s also annoying how they have the place wallpapered and a dodgy unfinished stair case. And it’s so tacky.

Ann22

Even her hair annoys me. Looks like a badly fitted wig.

Gail is back soon and her hair is still not cut ugh!

Andy From Sligo

whats that accent the mother has - a brummie accent is it?

The father sounds like an eastender

fin12

She won’t go far working. In Roy’s if she can’t even fry an egg lol.

she did fry the egg properly

I love eggs fried with a crispy outer edge. Crispy outer edge and runny yellow yolk - its the only way to have em - yum!

I thought they would have had her working in the medical centre by now, it would be a better fit than with Roy

I can’t understand why the adult sons moved to a (small) new house with their parents. :rolleyes:

She's said about 10 times that she's a medical professional/trained nurse. She's really getting on my nerves. Pushing herself into Roys and wailing in his arms...a complete stranger who is clearly uncomfortable.

Andy From Sligo

She isn't that medically trained nurse if she cannot detect Roy has some kind of autism or aspergers and felt uncomfortable with her touching him, sobbing and overwhelming him like that...

Oh please can she have Moira's job and kick that moira out of the street. Can't stand her!

KevRossi

Fiz is back on Wednesday

- I used to like her, can't stand her now.

Eileen finds out that

Jan is a good guy. Will they get back together is the next question? He can hardly stay around after what he did. The traffickers will be looking for him.

Obviously they can’t afford their own places, the oldest son doesn’t seem to have any stable job and I say the younger one is just getting started in his career.

Has Roy given away Carla's job, she was a super waitress / cook in the cafe

Postgrad10

Hasn’t Carla been head hunted ? Prob busy with that.

Exactly! Can they not have anyone remain faithful to his/her partner in soapland? :mad:

That new family are just ridiculous. I dont like any of them. Stupid storylines.

cozar

i had to laugh when shona kicked all the kids out of the party, where were they going to go all 6 year olds out on the street wandering around, sure they could survive on their goody bag if they got it!, i think i saw one parent unless he is dad to the whole lot of them. hope they all got home safely.!

Would that be Steve 'Supersperm' McDonald?

Yeah, it was stupid her overreacting like that, a child throwing a tantrum belongs to any birthday party. And Nick being terrified of a 12 year old with a plastic bat, is nonsense too. Looks like someone write that scene on the bus into work.

SoundsRight

Just parachuted in from nowhere, and we're expected to be emotionally involved with them straight away.
