I just want them to hurry up and show us the point of introducing Bobby. I really find him annoying.

Sad about John Saviden (Fred). May his memory be a blessing, I say, May his memory be a blessing.

Tommy O might better watch himself. If he treats Tracy badly, he might end up like Charlie.

I have been watching the Omnibus for 40 years. Everyone who knows me knows better than to call me between 7 and 10 am on Sunday, because they could suffer a fate worse than death, lol.

Thanks again for giving we Corrie addicts a place to gather!

I'm the same as Shannon. I used to Google things if I couldn't remember a plotline, but I always ended up seeing spoilers, so I've stopped. I'm not a fan of the Tracey/Tommy O story, but it just goes to show that Tracey is definitely her mother's daughter!

The Corrie Wiki is a great place to look stuff up spoiler free. It has a great layout with all the character information and gives who they have been married to and who their kids are and what story lines they have been in.. https://coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Coronation_Street_Wiki

Bobby - yuck. Totally irritates me. Tracy is defo on the way to an affair. Mason the bully makes me angry. Aggie needs to come home and support her family for awhile.

I watch all 6 episodes in a row Sunday morning on CBC Gem. Just Corrie, me and my coffee.

I was wondering why there are so many main characters who they seem to be sending away for extended periods? Like are they off the show or what? Like Fizz as you previously mentioned, then there's Aggie, and where is Eileen? Peter is gone, now Steve has gone to France -will he return? Anyway, it's a bit strange, some of the writing is getting a bit daft, as they say, it sure isn't what it used to be, but yes we will keep watching!!

I predict Tracey will have a fling with Tommy O, she's due for some trouble. Have a great week, and thanks for the show, it always makes me smile!

Some of it (like Eileen) is I think because they film blocks of storylines. Guarantee Eileen who is theoretically still in Weatherfield) will come back with a tan 😄

I read that Sue Cleaver who plays Eileen had a lot of health problems last year so I am thinking that would also be why we haven't seen Eileen very much for quite a long time. Hopefully we'll see her more often soon!

Peter is gone for good I imagine. And I don't think we'll see Aggie return. I think the actress is ill and that is their way of writing her off the show. Eileen and Rita and Yazmeen are all having a drink together at the Rovers I'm sure. Like Shannon says its the way they film/write the show.

I did the Coronaton Street tour in October while I was visiting and it was AMAZING!! Hope you are able to do it soon.

I like Bobby. Don’t love him - but I do like him. I also like Daisy, so I think I’m definitely in the minority of liking these 2.

I didn't like Daisy when she first showed up but she's grown on me. I get the feeling in a few weeks I'll be ready for Bethany to head back to London but I don't mind Daisy sticking around.

I agree. I think Bobby will get less annoying as time goes on and we'll come to enjoy his episodes. As for Daisy, I like her a lot better now that she's seen that Daniel can move on without her. She's getting a taste of her own medicine. ;)

I agree with almost all of what you said, again! However, I do hope you're wrong about having to like Bobby at some point - he grates on me.

I've always been impressed at the ability of the characters on this street to really speak their mind and still carry on as friends and neighbors! Well, maybe not as best friends but still. I must be too sensitive.

Fred was such a great character... was he the one that got duped by a dating scam after his wife passed away? I loved the pigeons.

I think Ed and Aggie are goners.... maybe the whole family will move away. Where is the other son all this time? I like DeeDee though.

The motorhome story was just stupid, as you said. They ended up in a soccer field and there was no wifi? They seem to need to throw some silly sitcom stuff in there and don't bother to make it believable. But hey, we keep watching, don't we?

I used to watch the omnibus but now I record and watch the next morning with coffee.

Looking forward to another recap with you next week - thanks again!

I think BrittleStar misses Shannon (or whoever you people really are!). I hope you are reunited soon and that the mysterious purpose of the trip can be revealed.

Here’s a mystery….lWhy are Adam, Dee Dee and Alia working out of Dee Dee’s flat? Nothing has been said about this on the Gem uncut UK episodes. Is it attached to the builder’s yard and I never knew that? Daniel is fine in the builder’s yard flat. Inquiring minds….

I know I keep waiting for the reason to become apparent!

Dee Dee's flat is above Dev's Corner shop. So it wasn't affected by the fire. The law firm are working out of the flat because their office had a flood from a busted pipe. It was quickly mentioned in a previous episode. I'm really curious who will be the next owner of the builders yard. And why didn't Ed just raise Daniels rent? That could have gotten him some extra cash

I remember them saying about the pipe I just can’t figure out the ‘point’ of that plot line? That has been going on waaay too long?

Conspiracy theories welcome! 😁

The RV storyline was just stupid.

Seriously Stewart, Craig is going to be on the take? I don't think he's intelligent enough for that.

I can't imagine ever liking Bobby unless there is a personality transplant in his future.

I wouldn't wish Tracy on anyone, but at least with Tommy O, Steve could eventually come to terms with it - I mean, this is his hero. Who wouldn't want to sleep with him?

Sorry about your nightmare Brittlestar, but you know your Shannon would never cheat on you. You two are soulmates - couldn't happen.

Appropos (sp) of nothing - I miss having a mailman. When I lived in TO, we had the same guy everyday for years. I gave him Christmas presents. This walk to the box nonsense is for the birds. See you next week.

Also, you have the dates wrong for this episode 7 - should say February 19 - 23, 2024. But we know what you mean.
