Always found it strange how a man who has kids and can clearly afford his own place, chooses to live in a house share. Shows how completely immature he is.

He definitely doesn’t come across as a nice person in real life, doesn’t even acknowledge one of his kids who was the result of a one night stand.

I was just after reading this too. If it's true, he sounds like a wimp.

I just read the article now but these things can be totally twisted by media to get a reaction. I'd take it with a pinch of salt. He may not be an angel but who knows what the full story is?

What's the story with Gemmas new look. Bjork comes to mind. Looks ridiculous.

Leanne came out of Oliver's hospital room to tell Nick that Oliver had responded to the noise Nick had made almost before Nick had made the noise in the first place.

A bit like Todd coming down the stairs before the villain has gone out the door.

A bit like Gary overheating a conversation inside a house as he's walking past.

A bit like...

Well a bit like as bad a producer and a script wtiter can be.

Her blush highlighter is too much

Craig the hero! And you would well recognise your man's accent behind that mask to be fair

That was terrible acting by Craig during the shooting scene.

She looks like she's in 80's fancy dress. Ridiculous is right.

Aunty Beth looks much better without the Yorkshire Terrier hairstyle. She had some work done too I think. Cheekbones, botox, fillers etc.

I doubt it, he was shot in the shoulder

I wonder will PC Tinker be in trouble for running in when ordered to wait for back up, what happened to his training partner?

Hopefully he’ll be kicked out. I just can’t take him seriously as a police officer!

Especially as Ray had spoken to Scott many times in recent days, would know his voice and build, had recently fired him, had told him about his poker party (with one guest?) and knew he was a criminal.

For a guy who demanded he have a getaway driver, Scott doesn't look like he made much effort to put distance between him and the Bistro after getting away.
He even seemed to hang around in the ginnel on the off chance that Johnny would wander out so Scott could scold him.
The same Johnny who was unable to receive phonecalls and who was last seen unconscious and barely mobile in an alley, i.e. a man Scott would be very unlikely to see again for the rest of the night.

He had the making of an interesting character but that attempt at a successful robbery,even kirk would have made a better fist of it.

New Summer

Lennox Gilbey

It wasn't exactly Hatton Garden. He got a gun and a getaway car and a driver to raid a restaurant 72 cobblestones away from where he lives. And for what? The takings from a restaurant with no customers and yer man's watch.

Hopefully Craig's notebook took the bullet.

Looks like

Scott the Jackal holes up in the pub.

Where else eh?

I wonder will Faye and Craig get together now he's gone all Kevin Costner in the bodyguard.

JP Liz V1

I wonder was Scott's plan to frame or get Johnny caught, it on his neighbourhood and not much takings to rob

I hope so, I like Craig, the big softie

OfTheMarsWongs

Just watching Monday's now, the two lads howling like banshees at each other outside what I think was the back of the Bistro and no one heard them?

SouthernBelle

There's some speculation on Twitter that Kevin's sister is the mysterious "Roxy" who's buying up the houses with yer man from the bistro.

Now that would be good !

Twelve year old Dylan (after apparently splitting up with his girlfriend) asking his dad, Sean, about affairs of the heart:'Does it get any easier?'

It would make you laugh. Who do these writers think they are?

A girlfriend at twelve? Splitting up at twelve? It all seems unnecessary in a soap where there is more than enough of boyfriend-girlfriend of an adult nature going on. Can the writers not come up with something more credible ?

OfTheMarsWongs

Ah Corrie script writers, Alya asking Geoff why he wouldn't want a 'fresh start'. We'd gone so long without someone mentioning one :-/

Lennox Gilbey

Is this same as what happened with Daniel in Enders... Arthur is about to cark it?

Jikashi

Did Todd's father ever pop up on the show when he was younger, I don't recall.

JP Liz V1

Does Alya know about the hookers and STD that he gave Yasmeen, that is where the money went from Geoff

Sure that's why so many of them are teenage parents

I thought maybe Dylan was going to be gay

I was expecting him to be out of control and a bit of a homophobe but a chat from Roy. Rita, etc would sort him out.

...and give him a fresh start.


Sorry to see the old Summer go, she had a sort of world-weary way of delivering her lines. Don't like the new Todd, too smarmy and mean.
