Last Friday I thought they were going to do "The General" and he was going to get shot through the car window. The door is left open now for him to return later and want to know if he's the daddy. Sarah to keep the baby?

The Brits treat their dogs better than they do their people. There's a great quote in a book called Exciting Times about it. It implies they're so nice to their dogs so nobody will believe they did colonialism.

Anyway, no surprise he's in and out of the place and nobody bats an eyelid at it.

The cafe looks filthy all the time anyway, have a look at the walls, it looks so grubby

There is no way I'd eat in Roy's with the dog about. I am surprised Roy lets it happen. We all know Evelyn loves the little dog, she needs the company of a pet.

Have always thought that too. I know it's meant to be the quintessential greasey spoon Northern diner, but its a horrible kip, and would probably be closed down by a health inspector if a dog was found roaming around inside.

It made more sense to keep it like that when there was nothing else there, but there's a Costa now, and the bistro does proper coffee too. I've seen the prices at Roy's are dirt cheep so maybe that's the appeal.

Lennox Gilbey · 28-06-2023 2:52pm

Dirt cheap? 🙂

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 28-06-2023 3:49pm

Speaking of Roy's Rolls..... has everyone seen the new limited edition Corrie inspired clothing line.

Soo... Abi was a fall down drunk and drug addict, but a year later can enjoy a few sociable beers, without going pure LOCO.... interesting 🤔

littlevillage · 28-06-2023 8:51pm

And speaking of junkies, this wan in the bed, a heroin addict with her perfect teeth. Unlikely

I grew up eating in places like Roys Rolls - greasy spoon cafe's we used to call them complete with grubby walls, sticky floors and smoke filled , no Costa's or Starbucks or anything like that and a 'Cup' of tea, not a bucket ... and a decent price too pence for a cup of tea and coffee was just instant - still lots of them type cafe's bound to be around these days and the place so realistic in that respect

Andy From Sligo · 28-06-2023 9:09pm

what a mis-match of character Tyrone's mum and Evelyn's daughter - scouse Liverpool accent when both Tyrone & Evelyn have Manchester accents - and those sparkly white straight teeth too - you would think the corrie make-up department could dirty up her teeth or put some false ones over hers to make them look like a druggies teeth.

i never realised Pregablin was a poor man's cocaine - I was on them 10 years ago when I was hospitalised with slipped discs in me back . had to be weaned off them slowly over 3 weeks

jos28 · 28-06-2023 11:21pm

Bit like Abbi's teeth too, very expensive looking gnashers for junkies

threetrees · 28-06-2023 11:43pm

I like Claire Sweeney (she'll always be Lindsay Corkhill to me) but Margi Clarke was a brilliant person to play Tyrone's mother, such a pity that character was written out. I think she died? (the character, not Margi Clarke!)

I bet Sarah's baby will be Damon's (who knew you could get a paternity test done when only just pregnant?) and Sarah will choose to keep the baby. So Adam and Sarah split up, leaving Adam free for Alya.....

prunudo · 28-06-2023 11:47pm

Alya, i was thinking Deedee. Must look out for Adam/Alya interactions.

DT2016 · 29-06-2023 4:11am

Any scene Evelyn is in is good her acting tonight amazing!

freshpopcorn · 29-06-2023 10:34am

The Richard Hillman story in nearly finished on Classic Coronation Street.

I think the Canal episode is next Wesdnesday/Thursday.

pjohnson · 29-06-2023 11:39am

DeeDee: "If it's Adam's?"

Sarah: "I'll keep it"

DeeDee: "And if it's Damon's?"

Sarah: "I won't"

Jenny: "Well put me down for a tenner!"

Best jumpcut in a long while

freshpopcorn · 29-06-2023 8:16pm

Here's Paul with his really mother and his on screen one.

His real mother recently played the bus passenger who was rude to him when he fell.

drug addicts & former drug addicts do have access to dentists. Junkies is a rotten word

DT2016 · 03-07-2023 1:54pm

So after that amazing episode with Evelyn and her daughter they both leave the street I was hoping for more amazing acting.

Seems like Maureen Lipman always taking breaks

threetrees · 03-07-2023 4:29pm

Maureen Lipman is in high demand! It's a pity we won't see her caring and bonding with her daughter.

prunudo · 03-07-2023 4:35pm

I wonder though will we see her struggles with the rehab/cold turkey on screen. I read recently that she (Maureen) was very tired due the increased work load of an up coming storyline.

freshpopcorn · 05-07-2023 1:18pm

Henry Newton is returning later this year to cause trouble for Gemma. He's the posh lad that went out with her for a bet and then sort of liked her I believe.

Also, Gemma needs to go on anti-depresseants again.

tobesure · 05-07-2023 2:31pm

Sick of Gemma. What's with the intermittent sign language?

Worst accent in the whole thing. I'd rather Stephens.

I belive the actor who plays her kid is actually deaf, or hearing impaired, and the actress said that she's been learning sign language since he was hired so she can better communicate with him when they're not filming. That has naturally flowed over into the acting too. I think it's actually quite nice to see her make the effort.
