Coronation Street plot hole - Orchid
A very simple question; who did Fred Elliot make his five thousand pound cheque out to? If it was "Orchid", she would not have been able to cash it.

The money was supposed be be for "Orchid's" father's medical care in Thailand, so it makes sense that Dennis would have persuaded Fred to give him the money so he could pretend to wire it to Thailand just like he did before.

I'm pretty sure the cheque was made out to Dennis - there was a brief glimpse of it during the (relevant) episode.

Also, didn't he think it was suspicious that when he collected her from the airport she had no airline tags on her suitcase...?

He also collected her from the departure area as well, lol. Arrivals was downstairs and the escalator to come up was on the opposite side from where she came from!

If she fell on top of him from the sky, he wouldn't have noticed, as far as he was concerned he was lovestruck and these little things wouldn't be spotted by a gullible man like Fred.

I absolutley loved the way they had to hammer home the 'she's not actually from thailand' message. When fred sees her at the market, its not enough that shes speaking the local slang, in the local accent, but that partner of hers comes up and gives her a PIE!!!!
'ooh meat n tatties, me fave!' of course- a pie! meat n tatties! because thats what all people from manchester eat! how about a flask of steaming hot pot?? give her a man city shirt!! If she was serious about fooling fred out of his money, she shouldve arrived at the airport in a man utd shirt. I hear they get big sales out there. especially for any viewers out there who are dimmer then fred. |

She actually said she was staying with her father's cousin's niece... which would have been herself. And isn't it suspicious that she had a relative living so close to Weatherfield yet she had never visited England before???

You cant do that, you need proper ID to set up a bank account - unless it was a numbered swiss account!!

Dennis clearly had the money to pay back Fred. I'm sure there is more to come in this story, where he gets his proper comeuppence.
