Last time Rob was sacked by Carla, he managed to assemble an invisible workforce and machinery for home workers, he undercut Carla on contracts and was well on his way to being a success when she caved in and gave him shares before Underworld went under (no pun intended).
This time Rob is almost skint, seen practically begging Peter for dosh, then winning and losing it on a horse in the space of two minutes and now he is worrying about what he will do when the five grand runs out and is scrapping around for jobs.
One convenient extreme to another.
I thought that too, why doesn't he just start up on his own again and steal Carlas contracts.?
And I wonder who decided to turn Dev in Detective Columbo - complete with raincoat. Ridiculous and not even remotely funny. Will he start adopting Columbo's mannerisms soon?!
We must be getting closer to the time of Karl's exposure than previously imagined. There's a lot of stuff going on at the moment about the fire and whether Sunita was or wasn't in fact the arsonist.
I don't know
when Stella and Karl get married but I have a feeling something might happen on their wedding day and he is exposed as the killer and arson. I am just speculating. It seems that soaps always seem to do that on wedding days.
When you think back to weddings on soaps they never go smoothly do they?

It certainly seems like the story is being moved on. Perhaps someone works out that Karl is the culprit and he bumps them off or something (unless they plan to bring the whole thing to a head in one go).
I rewatched the arguement over the baby's incubator scene, and was similarly astonished by the lack of nurses. Wouldn't these tiny, sick babies have medical staff there 24/7? Wouldn't there be strict controls about hand washing, maybe even gowning up before you enter? It seems anyone can just stroll in, and then if they decide to have a huge bust-up there, no one says a word.
Unless its the same nurses who were at Sunita's intensive care ward maybe? That'd explain their uselessness...
It was the same with baby hope and EE Scarlett.
In Nicu ITU babies are nursed 1:1 , there are no single rooms either.
The consultant would be well aware of babys parentage but would've spoken to Tina as Gary and Lizzie have not adopted Jake so they are not his legal guardians

just one more thing
did you know we have spaghetti hoops on two for the price of one today

That storyline was far more of a SOR than the current one though. In a week Rob managed to get a new flat, a new car and start a new business stealing all the work from Carla's established factory with only a few grannies and their sewing machines working in their front rooms.
If they go down that route again it will be ridiculous, not to mention repetitive.

I think I was trying to say that the first storyline was an SOR, as is this one. One extreme to another.
Both of the gay couple were talking to Marcus like they were old friends. I thought the dark guy told Sean that he had returned from abroad and met the other guy, in some other town so he wasn't local. So how did he know Marcus?

Apparently they went on anti-clause 28 marches together. But as the Marcus character is supposed to be 35 (yes, i looked on wikipedia ) he would have been going on that march aged about ten as clause 28 was 1988 (yes, I wikipedia-ed that too...)

H didnt, the writers just wrote it in forgetting we actually watch Corrie and know what is happening.
SOR1: Coronation Street doesn't appear to have heard of the concept of bisexuality.
SOR2: It's your wedding day, you're talking to supposed friends that you haven't seen for years and you start an argument with them over something to do with their private life, as though you are their very best friend and they've betrayed you.

i know. If I was Marcus I'd've been tempted to say 'Oi, keep your opinions to yourself, Mr Ed.'
The viewer is being "primed" by the script writers. The rat belongs to the fat lad on the street who seems to be always letting it loose. I think you will see the rat was out on the street the night of the rovers fire with the fat lad following behind. The rat gets into the Rovers celler and bites the mains cable and the sparks set fire to the Rovers. The fat lad is also in the celler and catches the rat. They both leave just before Karl arrives.
Did you see the fat boys face in the Kabin when Dev and Karl were talking?
As if it wasn't bad enough with Chesney forever bumping into Ryan & Katy every time he walked outside, we now have Karl who just happens to be within feet of Dev every single time he questions someone about Sunita's death.

As previously mentioned, babies in NICU are monitored pretty much 1:1, there are NEVER no staff in the vicinity, incidentally, there are alarms going off on a regular basis too as these babies are unstable and unpredictable. It's also a myth in all soap SCBU that the rooms are in dimmed light, they are not.
There certainly are strict rules about hand washing and many, but not all, units will insist on an apron being worn, not gowned up though.
All units are monitored via a locked door usually with a door bell/camera system. Visiting on these wards is strictly limited as exposure to any infection can be fatal, tommeh would have no place there at all.
Finally, if there was an argument going on over the incubator, security would be called and the offenders removed, no question. These are the sickest babies and this would never be permitted
Arent all wards with babies locked, not just nicu? In corrie anyone can wander in and touch the babies and by the looks of it you have access to all the babies not just your own. In the hospital i work at i cant even access the paediatric departments as my card only allows me access to adult wards. So there would definitely be no wandering in whenever you feel like it.

Yes you're right. I too work in a hospital and have no access to kids wards or scbu etc. I also have experience of being the parent of a NICU baby and where we were parents had access 24/7, the grandparents and siblings had an allocated hour on Saturday and Sunday. Sorry this is deviating slightly from the SOR thread, but highlights the absolute SOR that is corrie and its hospital scenes. Suggests little or no research.

PMSL! :D:D
But, yes you're right! Such a load of cobblers that 2 people supposedly so in love would be pre-occupied on their wedding day about the gender of the partner of a distant acquaintance! Just ridiculous!

Didn't he actually hint at this to Tracey just after he was found out by Carla?
eerrrr.... just one other thing...
He needs a clapped out car.
I don't know

The night of the opening of the Rovers, Gloria was fussing about what outfit to wear and went upstairs several times to change!

I bet they're sainsburys own brand ones too
and i still think the black lad looks like he's about to chew an apple off someone's hand.

Do you watch this programme?!
