16

Has Summer had a personality transplant as well as a head transplant? She was always a sensible girl, kind of goody two shoes, but it looks like she may be a tiny bit more rebellious now?

Blame Geraldine.

Todd working with Ray would be good, he can be cunning and sly more than Debbie

When did Carla start calling Johnny, dad? I know he is her dad but afair she called him Johnny

That's straight grandparents for you. She was a grand little one when the two gay lads had her.

Ray's goon chastising him for being uncautious while she's in and out of his office daily and doing her paperwork in the living room of two of the shmucks whose homes and livelihoods they're wrecking.

Did Ray offer Geoff 30k for the house or was that extra? Is the house fully in his name?
I'm surprised Jenny didn't think to mention to Margaret about Johnny's son dying also.
Toyah's coat is horrific.. she's wore no other coat since she's been in it.

Toyah is an eco warrior, she wouldn't do the environment a disservice by buying fast fashion.

30k cash in hand plus sale price I thought

How can Ray apply for planning permission without fully owning all the properties he needs

The storyline makes no sense whatsoever if you question it even a little bit. Even if Ray owned all the buildings on the street, you can't just unilaterally rezone land meant for residential buildings to commercial. Unless he's just planning on handing out massive brown envelopes to the council too, and it never catching up on him :rolleyes:

Like the street I live on in a suburb of Dublin, the idea of someone buying up all of our houses and then building a Hilton on it is just ridiculous beyond words. Why would anyone even want to stay in a hotel in Weatherfield?! Isn't it meant to be a bit of a dump?

As for the finale of the Oliver storyline on Friday, I don't know how they're possibly going to pull that off without anyone hugging each other. I think the limitations of filming in covid times are really going to be laid bare.

The social distancing limits are really grating now. Like the above poster says, when the child dies, there will be no grief and hugging!
Watching supposed household members standing 2 feet apart all the time is getting incredible now.
It's really sticking out like a sore thumb.

They should have Steve, Leanne, Nick and Toyah in a bubble for two weeks before deathbed scene. Then, they could realistically comfort each other. If Strictly can do it, why not Corrie?

Apparently the mother of the actor playing Oliver is playing the part of a nurse so she will be able to hug Oliver and stroke his face and kiss him. However ball the other actors will need to be 2m apart.

magicray

I've read other shows have managed hugging/kissing scenes by a family member of the actor dressing the same and doing the scene, their face is just not shown
That would be easy enough to do

Icsics

As long as the Oliver storyline finishes I don't care how they do it! Its been completely overdone & as for the Yazmeen storyline, it might never end!

freshpopcorn

Does anybody know the story for the 60th Anniversary.
It will probably be Yasmeen.
However I remember for their 40 anniversary. Didn’t they have a whole story about the cobbles being ripped up and the residents fighting back.
Could they do similar this time?

Maybe they discover Ray's plans and somehow save the street from them?

Maybe they throw a few Cobbles at ray!

Maybe Spider and Emily will come back and climb a tree.

Well done Steve for telling Leanne how it is.

Leanne over acting is getting tedious to watch. Story line done to death.

Don't agree, her acting is sublime.

Immortal Starlight

Leanne’s blood pressure must go through the roof filming those scenes. Even though your brain knows it’s not real but your body doesn’t. She’s been doing it for months now so must be looking forward to it ending.

I agree. Her acting is woeful!

Finally putting the child and viewers out of the child's and our own misery having this never ending storyline with what appears to be an end in sight.

Sure it. I don't think I could watch it if I had a child of a similar age.

I have a young child but this storyline is not affecting me one bit as I think Leanne is just unbearable. If done properly with decent actors it could have had the right affect.

I agree, could have been done a lot better . Leannes over acting is brutal.

RobertKK

I just felt relief this storyline is coming to one part of its conclusion.

Hope we don't have to do weeks of mourning now.
