Like the above posts says, Leanne is clinging to Liz’s words. Leanne isn’t being deliberately foolish. She’s in denial.

I know she is but it's still irritating.

Tommy O, at his age, probably plays deep splaying the ball around. Conserving energy. Like Rooney nowadays. Until one day he'll be caught out and hang up his boots. Only then can he look back on his carreer. The Special One.

Is there a point to the red toy car for little Olly, too much emphasis on the toy cars

Sally is weary of Geoff but not dim Tim

So Shona knows where the teabags are kept, sure she's cured

All that fandango

The Shona and David storyline is beyond boring for me. The Platts were a lot better without Shona, I don't know who thinks she's needed. I like Jack P Shepherd as an actor, but sick to death of him being so harsh and miserable all the time.

Agree. I know its very hard to match up to Kylie, but Shona and David are the most mismatched looking couple and her hoarsey voice goes right through me.

Whats peoples thoughts on Roy's niece? (Her name escapes me atm) she works in the cafe. Do we see her character going anywhere on the soap long term? I think she has potential and shes very witty.

Is she trying to put on a Manchester accent?
Remember Stella tried that and she sounded like someone with constant laryngitis.

Did Nathan bring Shona to the Street to Billy, does she remember them

Lennox Gilbey

I didn't get the mad panic when Shona went walkabout. It was more like it was Rosemary West. She's

only outside Roy's anyway.

Was that not how the actress spoke? Her voice was always wispy in Eastenders.

I know she got a lot of grief over her accent but I thought she pulled it off well.

Are they trying to turn this Geoff thing into a Pat Phelan type of story. Where he's going around the street fooling everyone? Because, although the actor is so good at playing him, Geoff certainly is no Pat Phelan :cool:

JP Liz V1

I hope Tim takes the camera and laptop to the police thinking he is helping Geoff

Well that was a wasted opportunity to wrap up the story.

The state of the camera. Between the camera and the red car the props department must be over worked

I was thinking the same about the camera. As I've said before I have some knowledge in this area.

Obviously, because its television they need a large prop to be able to show that this is the camera*


*Which doesn't excuse the teeny weeny red car.

Props Dept could do with a Father Ted lesson in perspective

Speaking from a digital forensics point of view, Geoff didn't delete those movies, he moved them to the recycle bin, which means even Amy could retrieve them.

The way the soap has gone I assume that won't get shown or will be forgotten.

Could we petition Dominic Cummins to free the Weatherfield One?

So is Shona going to move into Roys flat with him, Nina and Carla?

Carla is in the pub with Peter

I think Carla is in the Rovers for the moment while Jenny and Johnny are away. They've been gone a while mind you. Did we ever find out who that guy was Johnny was running from?

Roys flat is the new TARDIS.

No we didn't find out.

Even so. Shona, Nina and Roy in what is meant to be a one bedroom flat. Its now a 3 bedroom apartment.

I can't see social workers allowing someone with amnesia released from their custody to share a room with a non relative.

All that fandango

I've missed loads of Corrie over the last few months, wondering could someone clear something up for me...How did Carla go from super-savy knicker factory bosswoman to working in Roy's cafe?

I believe it is a two bed room flat so I assume Shona will share with Nina or Roy stays on the couch

I am surprised David did not ask Billy or Eileen to take in Shona or help find her another near by accommodation

It was a big ask of David. . A bit presumptuous I thought. No rent was suggested by David. No conditions discussed. Just could she stay thanks very much.

Also you couldn't miss it if you were cleaning as much as Yasmine cleaned.

I'm not 100% sure. I don't think she's to bad finical but when the Roof collapsed at underworld. Which was Gary's fault(I think and can't believe that story line is still going on).
Carla had a massive mental breakdown and Peter was kind of there for her and he looked out for her and that's why there back on.
Carla actually knows that Gary was to blame for the roof collapse but she can't remember it.
She fell out with people for some reason and Roy kind of took her in.( i thnk)

Is Shona’s memory loss supposed to excuse her rudeness to everyone. Not even a thank you to Roy just “see ya”

Apparently she's supposed to be like a teenager. Nice view they have of teenagers. Or maybe she was just a horror as a teenager?
