Does anyone think Leanne looks kinda smitten by Rowan? He is definitely better looking than Nick! :). He seems to be looking her over as well. And I think they are going to milk this “Roy looks guilty” thing for a loooooong time, he may even go on trial, until it comes to some shocking conclusion, Coronation street-style. Also your son Owen needs to be in charge of the controls more often. Lol. Just sayin’.

I have a soft spot for Nick - but yes she is defo smitten!

Leanne is so smitten. She’s definitely going to join his cult / pyramid scheme.

You two are the best - I laughed out loud a few times and so did my husband as he walked by... that gobbledegook word Brittlestar was saying - ha! A great Eileen, Shannon, but perhaps not quite mean enough. Eileen says to Sean, "All kids are a nightmare." Another favorite part was Tracy whining because now she'll be the talk of the street and Amy says, "Well, as Blanche said, don't dish it out if you can't take it!" or something like that... so true - Tracy is a Master Disher...

So, wouldn't the police have talked to Lauren's father by now? She's been missing for weeks?? He's not exactly hard to find?? Max is annoying - did he really do all that blabbing about Daniel? I wasn't sure - makes sense, though. Simon-tology! Teapots - you are very observant, Shannon!

Did you watch Ted Lasso? Remember the actor that plays Stuart was in it at the beginning and was fired so Ted Lasso could replace him. Different character, that's for sure!

Master Disher! 😄I did appreciate Blanche being referenced to Tracy!

I think Dylan and violet will be back, the street is not finished with them yet.

I think they'll be back too. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I think it's awful to end the entire bullying storyline without Liam getting full closure.

I don’t know, it was a black cab and that usually means gone forever. I didn’t even recognize Violet BTW

Yeah but no crane shot (these days replaced by drone shot) which usually means you are out!

I didn't recognize Violet either. It was the bangs, I think. She didn't have bangs before.

I agree. I don't think that was the original Violet.

I think it is the same actress, but she has not aged well

Didn't Violet send Dylan to live with Sean because she couldn't handle him in the first place?

Expand full comment

I was trying to remember that. I kind of recall that Dylan was being teased by the other kids when they found out his dad was gay, so Violet sent him to Weatherfield to get away from the other kids. But you could very well be right, and I'm misremembering (again! lol)

How could you forget about the backdoor to Roy's Rolls. I think the first time we saw STU was when he was homeless going through dumpsters in the back alley behind the cafe.

And my 2 favourite moments of the week where Bethany reminding Daniel that he pushed Max down the stairs and Carla telling Roy to go upstairs and play with his trains or something.

I enjoyed the Steve and Tracy bit in the Rivers. Classic for those two. I miss the humour that Corrie used to excel at. The Jack and Veras. The Hilda and Stans. Early Tyrone and Fizz. It's nice to see the odd wisecrack from David. I don't like that Billy dubbed to Paul about his declining language.

Yes and if that wasn’t the first time (as apparently Summer had also noticed) I agree he should have acknowledged it

Sean was apartment hunting - he’s the one who noticed the blood on Lauren’s curtains. I do think it was the only flat he looked at to be fair, and he found it not up to his standards. My favourite moment was Bethany’s comment about Daniel having pushed Max down the stairs - zinger!

You are our resident stair pushing expert 😁

I thought that was pretty good writing, for Corrie, for the condom wrapper to come out as something with Roy's finger prints on it. Certainly looked 'sus' as the kids would say.

I think Simon stopped drinking because he stopped hanging out with Bobby.
