Corrie: Gail's Mortgage - eh?!

RealityRocks · 26/01/13 - 15:57

When Joe was in loads of debt, why didn't she remortgage then? Why let him go ahead with his mental scheme which ultimately ended his life and got her in prison?

How come she wasn't willing to do that for her beloved husband but can do it for a proven liar and con man who professed his love five minutes ago?

What's going on, Corrie writers?!:mad::rolleyes:

Gail's a stupid fool.

:p:p concise and to the point

I thought Gail told Joe not to go through with it, but she didn't find out about his scheme until they went to the lakes together so it was too late.

Wasnt it Joes pride that stopped him taking help from her? But then he knew that guys after him would never stop asking for more while he was alive.

You're right I remember Gail offering him help but him refusing because he knew any money she could give him would just be a drop in the ocean!

The whole storyline is an insult to intelligence, as is the Kirsty/Tyrone/Fiz crap, as is the Carla/Peter/Leanne/Nick merry go round.

It's a soap - what do you expect?
It isn't a documentary into real life.

This.

The thing is that the plot holes in this story go way further back than Joe and Gail Force.

I can't remember the detail, but most of the equity in Gail's house - along with Emily's and the Duckworths' - was tied up in Richard Hillman's dodgy firm Kellett Holdings. I vaguely remember Gail and the family living at Audrey's after Richard had died because the house was under threat? Also have vague memories of Gail being under suspicion of fraud. Vera definitely went mad and threw a brick through Gail's window because the Duckies had lost money. I genuinely can't remember the details but to have us think that Gail is sitting on a goldmine is ridiculous.

I remember all of this and I'm sure - in fact I'd swear blind that after Hillman, Audrey sacrificed either the equity in her business or her house -so Gail could keep a roof over her head YET with Lewisgate, all that seems to have been forgotten when he was supposedly after her money.

She did put her house up for sale though as the loan shark bloke viewed it pretending to be a buyer, David was mad with her for selling his home to bail out a loser etc etc

Beautiful_Harv · 26/01/13 - 21:12

But if all this happened and the script writers remember maybe gail is setting lewis up?
Nah didnt think so.

Where did I say it's a documentary? :rolleyes:

Instead of putting words in my mouth, read what I wrote again.

That is what I remember and why it didn't ring true when she was going to give Joe the money (I actually posted about it at the time).

Gail. You could write a book.

Why on earth would anyone entertain their aging mother's ex boyfriend in the first place?

Be glad when she gets her comeuppance, silly old trout

[Deleted User] · 26/01/13 - 23:16

as if she can do it all over the phone..She would have to make an appointment to see her bank manager for such things :rolleyes:

Belligerence · 26/01/13 - 23:20

As I said in the SOR thread, who would be expected to pay off the loan if she thinks she'll be going to Italy? David and Kylie?

You'd be better off selling the house.

Never met anyone linked to our mortgage, jut expensive bits of paper

cazzbar · 27/01/13 - 00:06

Gail is being so stupid at the moment. Her simpering all the time to the con-man is stomach turning. She knows what he is like yet completely ignores it - as if, it's obvious he's in love with her?:eek: She's making decisions that will/might affect David and his family and yet hasn't said a word to them, yet all she cares about is her 'family'. Making decisions about her mortgage without a care in the world is just typical of her.

Mindbear · 27/01/13 - 01:14

All she does is simper. I can't bear her. I hate when she gets a man in her life, it means more revolting simpering. The only reason I can bear to see her on screen is Nigel Havers hatred of her frankly!

priscilla · 27/01/13 - 01:33

This SL ridiculous, but what makes it worse is Gails simpering and attempts at flirting and seducing is soo off putting.

billio · 27/01/13 - 03:34

Nigel Havers is a treat, though. He makes up for Gail and her idiocy.

Lila · 27/01/13 - 08:22

Gail used money left to Nick & Sarah Louise after Brian died to help buy that house I remember Ivy moaning about it.

Valentine · 27/01/13 - 09:58

Didn't realise mortgage lenders were so quick to give money to people without means of paying it back - or does she have a secret job we don't know about, in addition to her part-time clearner's wage. And she doesn't even have that now. Wish I could give up my job without worrying about paying my mortgage, bills etc.:rolleyes:
