Isn't Tommy Orpington the footballer that Steve and Tim were crazy about a few years back?

Okay so I totally forgot about recognizing his name when he gave Tracey the card! Also don’t remember Tommy O being so easy on the eyes...

Yes, he's very easy on the eyes. Why do you think I remembered him? ;)

Expand full comment

Yes 100%. Those scenes when they are fawning over Tommy O are quite hilarious!

That's what I thought too!

As soon as he walked into Tracy's flower shop I thought I recognized him. He's had a few scenes over the years.

Sorry, one more comment. If Tommy Orpington buys the Rovers, Steve and Tim will never go home :)

Another fun examination of the week’s events on the cobbles. Thanks for this!

Simon's mother is Lucy. Peter was married to her and Shelley at the same time. It was Charlie who kept Shelley hostage at the Rovers when she was pub manager.

I love this podcast. I've been watching for 40 years. I've always wanted somewhere to talk bout it each week. Thanks for this!

Kevin is not the father of Abby's son, Alfie. Alfie's dad is Imran, late of this Parish. Kevin is Jack's dad and Jack's mom is Molly, with whom he was having an affair. Molly was married to Tyrone at the time. Molly died in the famous tram crash of 2010.

Totally forgot Imran was the dad! Did his sister die in one of the many factory disasters?

and Molly was quite young, too, as I recall!

Maybe Tommy will get the pub and then Jenny and Daisy will be fighting over him.🤭😂

Love this. You guys are great. I am a 40 + year watcher as well. My husband doesn't really watch but sometimes he catches a few things and jokes about the characters. While listening just now he said "Did they just say Curly? " Lol He remembers him from way back.

They just pretend they aren’t watching!

I don't remember Curly....

Curly Watts...He was on the show for about 20 years, but left in 2003.

Oh boy, glad I waited a day to watch - your podcast and the comments sure take me back! My memory of people and relationships is a bit sketchy but these are great reminders.

Roy and Evelyn - no!!! Does not feel like a match to me. And what happened with the stolen dog? Did I miss something?

Daisy and Jenny... how stupid are they - they won't get away with it.

Peter - gawd, what an exit!! I'm glad he's gone! I never believed in them as a couple - just didn't seem right. I didn't realize that it was an actual breakup until much later. in that episode - I figured he'd be gone for a year or so and then come back. But, I like this better! I thought Carla's schumpy-chunky shoes looked kind of funny and she turned on her heel and strode away (oward the camera...)

I think one of my recordings got cut off because I didn't see the part where Craig and the family see the video of Ed helping Tony.

Whew - thanks again, looking forward to next week! I hope you keep it up but I'll enjoy it as long as you do.

Between Carla’s shoes and her million chunky bracelets she always makes a notable entrance or exit!

Yes, Rana. She was killed in the factory roof collapse.

OMC. I am so sorry. Yes, we’ve realized now what happened! I had to go step out and we got caught up in other tvstuff - didn’t realize we didn’t watch the last segment!! lol

I believe Brother Rob’s son is Bobby

Dang - I had a whole list of comments, but others have beaten me to them. Just to further Melanie's comment: Simon is Lucy and Peter's child, and Lucy died. That's how Peter got Simon, as Shannon stated Lucy ran away pregnant. Simon doesn't need a haircut as much as he needs a girl ! Or even a friend. And, last but not least, with regard to Roy and Evelyn...RUN ROY RUN !!!!!!

Wait…Carla’s brother’s son? Whaaaaat? You ARE discussing the last week of episodes, right? And not slipping in spoilers, right?! My husband and I have each watched CS for over 40 years. We enjoy listening to you two and your perspective and opinions AND humour ❣️

Right at the end of the last episode of the week

Cathy and Roy were sort of together for a bit. That's why her nephew Alex works in Roy's Rolls. She was the first love interest for Roy after Haley died.. I really hope they leave Roy single. Evelyn is not the answer.

Expand full comment

I’d forgotten about them as a pairing. I remember her living there for a while but were they an actual couple?

And then she went for Brian?

Expand full comment

Yes, they were even engaged! But it was way to soon after Hayley. She was a horder who had lost her husband and that was what brought her and Roy together. She found out that Roy didn't really want to marry her and called it off. Shortly after she started seeing Brian.
