That week looks quite good, I'm sad Billy and Todd will break up and I hope Kate Oates' revolving couples aren't making an appearance. With Beth and Kirk breaking up, and maybe Roy and Cathy, it could be starting.

I hope Roy and Cathy do split up. Roy deserves much, much better.

I will be a lot more annoyed if they split Beth & Kirky than if they split Roy & Kathy!!

Beth and Kirk should stay together.

In an upcoming storyline, he's going to be told by doctors that he may have inherited the genetic condition myotonic dystrophy from his father Jim McDonald.

The rare condition, which affects one in 8,000 people, is a muscular disease which causes muscles to waste away.

Why didn't doctors tell Steve that he may have inherited a genetic condition before Amy was born?
Oh, I remember, she was supposed to be Patience, Royston's child.

'Roy and Cathy set a date'

I can hardly believe this.

Monday 23rd September 2016

When Aidan tells Alya that the equipment they'd need in order to bulk produce her designs would cost up to £14,000, Alya vows to get her hands on the money.

Having already threatened to expose Sonia and Sharif to Yasmeen for their secret affair, Sharif begs Alya not to destroy Yasmeen with the truth. With all respect for her grandad lost, Alya agrees to keep silent - but at what cost?

Meanwhile, Roy warns Cathy to wait until her anger has subsided before she tells Alex the truth about his father, before whisking Alex off for a day at the allotment. Roy tries to brush off Alex's concerns over Cathy's bad mood, but when Alex correctly guesses what Cathy has found out, Roy is aghast.

Elsewhere, on the day of Beth's court appearance, Maria tries to talk to Kirk about Beth, but Kirk diverts his attention elsewhere.

Desperate for her brother to make amends with his wife, Maria tells Beth that if she wants any chance of getting Kirk back, she'll need to deliver a heartfelt apology. When Beth tries to persuade Kirk to support her in court, will he find the strength to say yes?

Also, Dev is impressed by the twins' business enterprise as they arrange flowers from the school garden into bouquets for him to sell, but Erica is sceptical - what are they up to?

Finally, Andy tries to tap into his creative side when he writes a short horror story, but Steph is less than encouraging of his efforts.



8:30

Sharif is under pressure from Alya to cough up the money for her Underworld designs, but Sonia further adds to his worries when she makes it clear that she still expects him to get her a place to live too.

Sharif is at a loss as to where he will find the funds to appease both women, until he comes up with an idea...


Meanwhile, when Alex announces that he's going to live in Scotland with his mum, Roy is shocked when Cathy does nothing to dissuade him.

In an an attempt to get Cathy to see sense, he tells her that Alex has known all along about his father. Will this be the push that Cathy needs to see sense and encourage Alex to stay?

Elsewhere, Beth is devastated when she heads off to court with neither Craig nor Kirk by her side. When Beth returns with a community payback sentence in tow, she begs Craig to come home, claiming she misses him like mad. But can Craig find it in him to forgive and forget?

Also, Aidan is impressed when Alya tells him that she has the money to invest and they agree to be partners, but Sinead is hurt when Alya tells her that her services are no longer required.

Finally, Aadi and Asha tell Tracy they'll stop selling flowers at Dev's if she dismisses Mary from the shop, but Tracy refuses. But when Erica finds a clue which suggests where the twins have really been getting hold of the flowers, has she finally rumbled them?


Wednesday 28th September 2016

Detecting a frosty atmosphere between Cathy and Roy, Tyrone offers to drive Alex to Scotland. Cathy confides in Fiz about Alex's father and admits that she has struggled to accept Alex since she discovered the truth.

When Roy's Woody breaks down on the way to Inverness and Kevin is called out to rescue them, Cathy realises she's made a mistake and seizes the opportunity to go with him and bring Roy and Alex home.

Meanwhile, Eileen is gutted when she witnesses Billy refusing to give Todd the time of day.

When Eileen makes an attempt to get Billy to forgive Todd for what he's done, Billy warns Eileen that Todd has a hatred for Phelan and that she should be mindful of the mess she could be getting herself mixed up in. Will Eileen take heed of his advice?

Elsewhere, Kirk visits Maria at home and tells her that a close family member is very unwell hasn't got long left to live. Maria and Kirk are devastated by this shock news.

Also today, Sharif's plan to get his hands on the money he needs has succeeded and he hands over a cheque to Alya. But where has this money come from and will Sharif have landed himself in even more hot water?

Finally, Erica tricks Aadi and Asha into admitting to Dev where they've really been getting their flowers from. How will Dev react?

During a trip to A&E, Todd realises how much he wants Billy back

However, a dramatic turn of events soon puts Todd and Billy in an A&E waiting room together. Todd realises how much he wants Billy back and decides he needs to do the right thing and pull out of his partnership with Phelan. But can Phelan persuade him otherwise, and will Todd stay strong?

Later, Caz relishes the opportunity to be a pillar of support to a grieving Maria.

Elsewhere, Tyrone tries to gently broach the subject of marriage with Roy and questions him about him and Cathy. Roy is adamant that he loves her, but Tyrone wonders whether this necessarily means he wants to marry her.

Roy is left thoughtful but later takes Cathy by surprise when he suggests they set a date for their wedding. But is Roy sure about this decision?

Later, when Todd learns that Sarah has decided to invest in a flat, he's panicked and confronts Phelan again. Todd orders Phelan not to rip off his close friend or he will blow the whistle on him and Vinny. But when Phelan tells Todd what Vinny is capable of, will Todd have a change of heart?


Meanwhile, when Maria explains to Caz that she has to go to visit Pablo in London, she's taken aback when Caz invites herself along for the trip too. But when Kirk points out to Maria that Caz clearly has feelings for her, will Maria agree or will she bury her head in the sand?

Elsewhere, Sarah is delighted when she unexpectedly receives a large sum of money and she decides to approach Phelan and Vinny about buying one of their flats for her and Bethany. But with Todd on Phelan's case, will she be successful?

Also, Cathy and Roy set the date but Tyrone still has his misgivings.

Finally, David is furious when the FLO tells him that Clayton has decided to plead guilty to manslaughter, which would mean if he isn't found guilty of murder, he could receive a lighter sentence.


8:30

Phelan is adamant that Todd should keep on Vinny's good side if he knows what's good for him. Todd agrees to come back to the deal, as long as they agree to repay Sarah for any money she loses out on.

When Phelan offers to pay for Billy's charity trip, Billy is delighted and thinks Todd is behind it. Todd is angry at Phelan's games, but what point does Phelan have to prove?

Meanwhile, knowing she has to have an honest conversation with Caz, Maria explains to her that she only sees her as a friend. Caz flees in tears, unable to come to terms with it.

Maria tells Caz that she thinks it best if she moves out of the salon flat before she leaves for London. But with Maria out of the way, will Caz persuade Kirk to let her stay a while longer. And what plan does she have up her sleeve?

Exciting times coming up by the look of it with

Not to mention



And even more exciting

http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/22/corona...ealed-6145996/
The first teasers for Weatherfield’s Christmas storylines are revealed

With the exception if the Nazir stuff I'm really looking forward to all of that!!
Despite hating the Sharif affair thing I'm loving the way some of those Christmas s/ls are already running now as well as some still to come!! Looks a good mix of both & also a good mix of characters!!
Toyah's return!!! Yaaayyyy!!!!!! Peter's return!!! Yaaayyyy also!!
For once i'm really looking forward to Corrie at Christmas!!

Is the show beginning to turn a corner?

I know Caz isn't greatly received from some of the comments here on DS but I really hope the planned Christmas storyline brings out what she's really capable of.

If not I can't see Caz being on the cobbles this time next year myself.

Why does corrie like to reveal all storylines so soon ? Where is the element of suprise

I hope Aidan gets with Maria, anyone is preferable to the self-obsessed bimbo Eva.

The Christmas Special this year can't be any worse than the cringe-fest from last year with the street being turned into Lapland.

That was particularly horrendous, even by the standards of 2015 Corrie!!
I could see what they were trying to do but oh dear....

Aidan and Maria actually showed a really good chemistry in those scenes before their 'liaison!!'
Aidan & Eva are just plain irritating based on the fact he's obviously only intrrested in her for one (well two) things & she's too thick & self absorbed to see it!!
Such a shame she has regressed to the awful charicature she was when she first arrived on the Street, I loved her when they put her with Jason & she was working in the Rover's!!
Of course the other advantage of putting Aidan with Maria would be the conflicts with Leanne, Eva herself & now quite possibly Toyah again!!
