Elaine's address letter and number?

A bit too convenient that she happened to drop it there, although I'm enjoying the pace they're moving at with the recently filmed episodes (even though Tim just crumpled it up), like the focus on just a few stories too.

How much is Yassey gum drops paying Imran?
He's not the sharpest barrister when he could easily suggest to Alya they get Geoff and Elaine's marriage certificate from the records office. Or better, Geoff and the woman who is supposed to be Tim's mother's marriage cert.
That'd prove when he married Elaine.
And for God's sake Dim, just look at your birth cert, love.

Imran is working for free on Yasmeen's case but Paula surely the barrister is quite expensive, did Sally ever finish paying her?

Won't his birth cert say his mother is Tess? He thinks she died

He will fire it in the bin like all the pregnancy tests and Eileen will find it

Craig must have lost 4-5 stone. Been busy during lockdown.

I read 10 stone somewhere. Fair play to him. He looks great, and I'm sure his mental and physical health has benefitted.

We noticed immediately. The difference is startling. He looks great.

All the older characters are noticeably absent.
No Ken, Rita, Claudia, Norris et al.
Staying away for their own safety I suspect.

Jenny Bradley made a mention off Rita and sales off Hot Pots gone up.

Could Steve not cook the sausages at his own place

Very strange alrite, unless it's meant to be virus frustration or something or I misheard something Steve said but very strange

It's like his head on another body fair play to the actor

The beard suits Dev quite well in fairness.

I like how Craig constantly appears in his chunky police gear to mask his impressive weight loss.

And Craig asked if Steve liked the new look... meaning Dev's beard, not his own transformation!

The Steve/sausage lark was preposterous.. why not cook them at home?? How did he open the packet there and separate one without a knife or scissors handy?...and how the fcuk was a 454gm packet over €5.00???

I don't know Originally I thought they were frozen sausages and I've no idea how they calculated the price. Evelyn used always say the place was a rip off to be fair.

I think the way Steve was behaving was a way of showing that he is losing control in his life. He is fixating on getting his sausage fix because he can’t do anything to help his son. I think he will fall back into his depression again.

I agree, those sausages were way overpriced.

threetrees

The sausage thing was definitely an intro to a breakdown that Steve will have, otherwise it was just pure slapstick and ridiculous.

I'm getting used to the social distancing filming now but there's a lot of camera angle changes which makes me a bit dizzy sometimes!

Is Roy one of the over 70’s being shielded?

All very like something from a carry on film script.

I really wish they’d finish off Geoff storyline before filming a wedding, not to mind a virtual stag do!

blindside88

Dev must be playing Bin Laden in an upcoming movie

He’s moved away from his previous sharp dressing businessman persona

Maybe it was. I just thought it was an attempt at humour. Not looking forward to another Steve depression story.

OMG. How gorgeous is he! https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/5768074/coronation-street-corrie-chris-gascoyne-wife-caroline-harding-salford-quays-set-doctor/

He really is so gorgeous.

Sarah’s white top she was wearing in Monday’s episode was really nice, anyone know where it is from?

Maybe he'll have an affair with her so they can do some romantic scenes.

Whole thing was a bit bizarre for sure.

I'd imagine that's a strong possibility, the cast have to socially distance with everyone else.

Liz in Spain, Eileen in Thailand, no lockdown restrictions on flying away but Zeedan cannot come see Yasmeen

Does Zeedan even know?

There was a time a while back when I think Peter was in jail ages. Ken came back from Canada and nobody had told him Peter was locked up.

Once people leave the end of Coronation St their phones stop working.

All I took from yesterday's episode was the measly little portion of casserole Leanne brought around to Toyah's. How the fk would that possibly fill one person never mind 3.. and one of them a big horse of a man?? Seriously...it was about an inch of what looked like spudless gravy in an 8 x 10 inch tupperware container.

That's why herself and Toyah are so thin!

Is Leanne also vegan?

Where is Roy supposedly? Would he really leave Nina all alone to run his business?

What was the reason Vanessa give for losing Imogen as a best mate?
I couldn't pick up what she said on the video call to Gemma.

Something about her husband .. ?

Why would Vanessa's husband leaving mean Imogen had to split as well?

Their husbands are friends. Sides are taken when marriages break down.

David Neilson (Roy) is Over 70, so is being shielded.

I get the older cast are cocooning shielding so surely close the cafe have Roy away with Nina and maybe Ken too

Is Anna and Maria's parents missing the wedding?

Foggy Jew

Is it just me, or does anyone else see a striking resemblance between the newly bearded Dev & our own Tommy Tiernan? I keep waiting for Dev/Tommy Tiernan to come out with something hilariously inappropriate.

I dont understand why the Police never interviewed Faye about Elaines disappearance

Fiolina

David "awks" at the end was good.
He's an instantly unlikable character and always was but he grows on you.A testament to a good actor imo.

It's hard to understand why Sarah and Adam even got married. Marriages last no time these days on the street. Any guesses how long Gary and Maria's will last if it even goes ahead?

I do like David .. yes he is unlikable but as a character I think he knows that and doesn’t care one bit. He definitely can have some brilliant one liners, and himself and Gale work well together with him just about putting up with her nonsense.

I did think it was strange how quickly they got married. They didn't even live together beforehand, so putting aside all of the Gary drama, they could have irritating habits that they knew nothing about until they moved in together!

Are they living at David's? Sarah always seems to be there. They get great value out of that set!

just watched Fridays episode now wouldn't the combination of Gary and Marias name Windaland be better as Sutherass?
