Tracy received a kidney transplant from Deirdre's Morrocan husband. My memory wants to say it was due to drug overdose.

Steve is my favourite, because he is such a sad sack so often. He is one of the actors I most want to meet.

I’m guessing he’s where her last name Rashid came from?

Thank you for the info!

Thank you! I've been wracking my brain for the name. Deirdre met him while on holiday in Morrocco.

I’m not sure if either of you know but Colson Smith who plays Craig is currently on the UK. Big Brother show. We can’t watch in Canada but Jack P Shephard (David) and Ben Price (Nick) are commenting on each episode daily on their On the Sofa podcast. It’s hilarious!

Loving your podcast! Thanks for doing this

I seem to remember that Joel was very good when someone (Bernie?) got arrested. I was just thinking what a nice character he was when the mystery woman showed up. I think she will end up being a romantic entanglement since Dee Dee and he have declared their love for each other.

Seeing the extreme bromance going on with Tommy O and the men on the street and how they’re constantly trying to one up each other, I wouldn’t be surprised if Steve forgives Tracy (he’d have done it himself if circumstances allowed). I hadn’t thought about a pregnancy, but Shannon, you’re right, when has a “one off” interlude not resulted in a pregnancy? It’s literally a guarantee of a new cast member!

Nick is Sam’s father, so Sam isn’t an orphan.

A couple things... Steve describing to Amy his love life problems with Tracy was so cringe, but so fun. Steve and Tim trying to out do each other for Tommy O's affection is classic Corrie. I do still miss Lloyd, but Tim has been a good replacement partner in crime.

What happened to the whole housing development Ed and his brother were doing? Should Ed still not be working on that?

Any why did Jennie get rid of the Fruit Machine in the Rovers and replace it with, is that a couch, a lounger? Surely the bar made some money off that old Fruit Machine over the years.

Awwww Lloyd ❤️

Did their housing development not get held up by the discovery of a body? Specifically Kelly’s Dad that Gary killed?

It did get held up for a while when they discovered Leo's body that Stephen had buried. But I thought it was back on track after that.

Gary moved Ricks body from the woods when Sarah was going to squeal on him but I don't think its been found since that.

I believe we saw Joel the first time as Lauren’s lawyer. Also Amy wasn’t at the party. It was Nina and when she got upset Bobby wanted her to go home. My question is what is the point of Bobby’s character? He is so rude.

Simon's downward spiral has destroyed his character. Steve has been a caricature since Michelle. The last actual acting his portrayer did was the excellent depression storyline.

I think Steve has been a caricature since Karen! I really thought they were going to be the new Jack and Vera.
