    But although it's not a criminal case are people allowed to bring up stuff that hasn't been proven or brought to court? ie David pushing Gail downstairs and the crash with Nick.
    How was Callum's solicitor ever allowed to bring that up?

    Well quite, I know the burden of proof is lower but surely hearsay still isn't considered particularly compelling evidence? Plus David could just say it was all crap couldn't he?

    And when have Callum and Bethany even interacted so she could pass on all this dirt?

    So what about the stag do?

    Don't remember Steve ever sharing more than a couple of scenes with Tyrone, Jason is the son of the woman he works with, Sean is an employee, hardly a friend & I can't remember a single scene between Steve & Gary!!

    Sadly TheStreet has become so insular that any character only seems to be allowed one friend & groups of friends don't exist unless they are called for in a party situation!!

    Really going on Corrie's recent past the stag do would have been at best Steve & Lloyd, while the hen do would have been Michelle & Carla, with possibly Liz tagging along!
    Crazy really!!

    Kirk and Dev (when he's around) always seemed to be stag regularts

    Has he gone to Norway? Seriously, why would a Norwegian boat be in dock in Liverpool?



    Oh yeah! Much more likely to be on the east coast somewhere.

    We were only saying last night about Corrie, and Pobol y Cwm - which we also watch, that there seems to be an inceasing tendency, when filming a story line, to look around, figure out which actor(s) seem to be underused and write them in - regardless of their relevance to the story.

    Really? It looked like a fishing boat. Didn't know they docked at Liverpool. What a shame it wasn't a cruise round the fjords! Wonder if he'll return with one of those Viking helmets?! :D:D

    What about It?! Already mentioned in post 2775
    All stupid. Tarted up to have a hen-do in her place of work and her home? Erica was there. Why? Andrea and Eileen are not Michelle's mate either. Carla is her only mate and Michelle just uses her for jobs and paying bills. Scraping the barrel for mates methinks. And so was Steve. Since when have Gary and Sean been his mates? And may I say when Sean skipped across the road to that pub -

    Yes. Michelle and Carla. Steve and Lloyd. And that is it!

    Michelle wouldn't have that many people there as she looks down on most of the people on the street and swivels her eyes at them. She never bothers with or even mentions her SIL, she sacked STEVE'S MATE Eileen from the Rovers and Andrea is Lloyd's gf who is nothing more than an acquaintance and a patron of the Rovers.

    Tyrone, Jason and Gary have to be at the stag-do because they are 'the lads'! Sean? Probably because they were going to end up in a gay pub.

    Yes, the Street is insular and so are the characters. They seem to have a character description which is narrow and Corrie stick to it rigidly. Unless of course a total character transplant is necessary! They also seem to have a nonsense pecking order which makes some people superior to others.

    Who was supposed to be driving the minibus - I thought it was Lloyd, but he seemed to have acquired a bottle of Scotch somehow on a deserted quayside. I thought Tyrone was going to say 'what the f*** are you doing, drinking?', but he joined in. Also, beer drinkers (like those 2) don't usually down a whole bottle of spirits 'just like that'.

    Oh wait - this is the suspension of reality thread . . .

    One thing that puzzled me was the five lads sat in the 'Horse & Cart' moaning about how dead it was....so why not just move on ffs!!

    On another note can I campaign for Sharon to become a regular character! She was bloody gorgeous!!

    just catching up. re the hen do...Andrea refering to 'the others' and 'you know what they're like for time keeping' as in the other hens will rock up eventually i assume.

    since when did Andrea have mutual friends with Michelle and Carla, and has socialised with them before? :confused:

    As if two blokes would be able to get on a boat in the docks, without being seen, and then pratt about "singing" and shouting.

    I bet in real life the Dockyard Police, or whoever, would have them banged up in no time flat, or at least had them back in the street outside.

    Next week, Lloyds enjoys life in Iceland/the North Atlantic :D (not a spoiler, just being sarky)

    That was the most far fetched load of old cobblers ever. They would not have got within 100 yards of it in reality and certainly not be able to have their own private 'party' on-board.

    Did I miss something? Didn't know about any of that.

    Just goes to show how much SOR we've got used to at Corrie. I accepted Lloyd's reporting that Steve had binned off his own stag night due to minibus trauma, without question :D

    MissHell went scurrying over to Lloyd before he left for the stag do to tell him Steve had had a panic attack while he was out and couldn't face going on the mini bus with everyone so he was going to the cinemas on his own instead, to which everyone said 'oh well let's go get drunk anyway.' :cool:

    That was weird. And what were Michelle and Liz doing to help?

    Umm, Liz was drooling over Benidorm and MissHell was probably practicing her eye roll and arm fold ready for the wedding. :D

    Andrea, Lloyd, Michelle and Steve have had numerous scenes together, so it's not unfeasible she would be at the hen party I suppose. The pregnant woman (can't remember her name) is the never before heard of "bestest friend' to Liz, the groom's mother so a tenuous link there. Mind come the wedding I expect there will be a dozen extras milling around, none of whom were invited to either the stag or hen does.

    It was bugging me seeing a trawler in 'Liverpool'
    I did a search on tinternet and the scenes were filmed in Fleetwood.
    I knew I didn't recognise anywhere around there.,

    Why on earth would they go Fleetwood for a stag do? When Blackpool is next door?

    There was an unseen driver- probably one of the Street Cars employees that we never see. When they all boarded the bus, including Lloyd, you could hear the engine already running.

    Maybe because there are no trawlers in Blackpool ...

    It was filmed in Fleetwood but it was mascarading as Liverpool wasn't it? It's the 2nd time they've been to Liverpool in as many weeks with David, Max & Callum's expedition there a couple of weeks back.

    Ah, thanks Mel - had clearly dozed off during that crucial bit of plot-laying!
