That dress was woeful. They certainly didn't blow the wardrobe budget on it. It must have been a rush job on one of the Underworld sewing machines.:D

Seriously, though, they made no effort whatsoever to hide Julia Goulding's real life pregnancy. At least they had Brooke Vincent carry huge handbags around all day to conceal her bump, and they usually have pregnant actresses clutching cushions and standing behind strategically placed furniture, but in this case, they didn't even try.

I have the exact same thing David was wearing also available in various colours. I bought mine at Penneys.

Honestly when I saw her in the dress first I genuinely thought she was wearing a towel!

I'm looking forward to David mocking those strange trousers Gail has being wearing the last few weeks.

My daughter came in at the wedding scene and 100% thought it was a sheet, she thought something must have happened to her actual dress and they mocked up a sheet to look like a dress.

Now that the wedding actually took place, how are they going to write Shona out?

I think it was the Metro I read...

The Max situation escalates and that drives a wedge between David and Shona and she leaves.

I think it would have been tidier if David didn’t get out of prison in time and she took Gails advice and fecked off, she could still come back after maternity leave when David went looking for her.

Gary killed Rick and damaged the factory roof which fell in causing Rana's death

I hope Gary goes on a spree taking out Maria, Michelle and her boys

Hardly makes him a serial killer. He killed one person in self-defence. The other deaths were accidental.

Gary's about as intimidating and scary as a fluffy bunny.

Lennox Gilbey

I can't believe Gary keeps the book and a box of cash in some flimsy fuse box cover. Even Dr. Ali found it in a few seconds. You can get a safe in Aldi for £30.

The development of his character is about the only interesting thing left in the show.

Not sure how but Gary's IQ seems to have increases by at least 40%

Remember when David and Pat Phelan battered him :P

Ann22

I just can't take Gary seriously with his spindly little legs and his gel plastered hair, trying to be the big man....and Ryan saying he'd no idea what he was capable of?? He just gave him a few kicks and thumps! Ryan didn't even try to fight back...He just cowered in terror like a pretty Victorian scullery maid in a haybarn on the night of the ball...Gary's hardly Conor McGregor. Preposterous....that's what i say, preposterous.

Icsics

Had forgotten all about Faye!

MsWesterosi

They're trying to make Gary into the second incarnation of Pat Phelan. Even the whole being a step ahead of the game thing with Ali, when Ali was certain he'd gotten the upper hand, in he swoops and plays the trump card; similar happened to Phelan's adversaries. He's even starting to talk like him. For example, when he was giving Liam the talk about violence and defeating your enemies with brains - I think Pat once said pretty much the same thing to someone.

Super villain Gary is no Phelan, though; he's pathetic and laughable. And wouldn't you think that taking a leaf out of Phelan's playbook would be the last thing he'd want to do, considering what he did to his family?

He has clearly taken the pills from “limitless”

I still can't take to David and Shona being together, it's just too unbelievable for that to happen.... No wonder Max so messed up... Poor lad is struggling.

They're also physically mismatched.
When they kiss, it looks like he's snogging his ma or some older woman.

Her son looks older than David.

Hope Jazz cops onto the that sceaming Jeff soon..... I've noticed it's almost always the woman who are hard done by... Is this a reflection of true life?

..and he said during the ceremony that she is the "love of his life"...I thought Kylie was.

And what was all that donut and hole stuff? Hallmark's Valentine cards for Dublin? I love you my donut, especially your h....

The Yasmeen/Geoff story has gone on far too long. It is exasperating at this stage to see how he is manipulating her. I realise that in real life that this kind of gaslighting can go on for years, but I can't wait until the creep is finally found out.

Ann22

Why doesn't Ali just tell Maria about his addiction?? Then tell her about Gary's loan sharking. Fcuk sake! Ryan needs to stand up to him too.
Jeff is becoming unbearable to watch... What a horrible little individual. I CAN'T STAND HIM!

And or think Audrey nearly fell for him

Havn't watched Corrie in about a fortnight. Was really hoping the whole Geoff thing would have finished.

freshpopcorn

What annoys me about the Geoff thing is it pops up ever few weeks and then it's sort of forgotten about.

Lot of cleavage there Michelle.

I hope they go to Vegas and Yasmin pushes Geoff off the Hoover dam.

Why are Gemma & Chesney putting up with that stupid mother?

Tired and misread this as 'pushes Geoff off the damn hoover' 😂
I'm wondering if they'll come back married, I think he'll persuade her to get hitched and then clean her out for all she's worth when they get back. Didn't we already see him wanting Aliya out of Speed Dahl or something like that - he's a gold digger as well as 2 timing manipulative sod.

Yeah. And Dev's daughter with the skin issue. The same. One day it's the biggest thing. Next thing it's all forgotten about too.

I play the same Scrabble game as Roy!

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing but I'll admit it's addictive.

So do I. And yeah it is addictive.

Ann22

I can't believe Yasmeen is taking such abuse from Geoff. She wasn't even that keen on him in the 1st place. He had to pester her for ages to let him into her boudoir without his pyjama bottoms.
Why did Alya take so long to cop on to what Michelle was getting at?? ..and then to blab to your man??? Why do characters continually take the word of complete strangers over long term friends and colleagues. It happens over and over.
Your one Tyler's mum(Vicky?) Is looking very pretty these days. Robert has to be the stupidest person on the planet. How long does he expect to get away with this??
Carla finds Roy saying staring at the Scrabble game at cockcrow in the morning..he's confused because his opponent isn't taking his go..why hasn't it dawned on him that he's been in bed like the rest of the country? So I guess Roy's brother dies and his daughter comes to live with Roy? He looked a bit long in the tooth to be the young one's dad.

Is she really? I’m surprised, I’d say she looks older in real life though, my 17 yr old can look both 12 and 18 depending on eye makeup and lashes or lack off.

60k won't go as far as they think in a one wage house with 2 adults and 5 children.
