Why didn't Michael tell them Phelan stood and mocked him as he lay injured on the floor rather than going on about some old chisels?

How long has it taken them to get to Bolton? There isn't a Bolton in Berkshire that I'm not aware of? they set off about lunch time didn't they?

Well it was broad daylight when they all came out of the cafe, and then in almost the next scene it was pitch black and they were using torches.

Because Phelan would just deny it, and Eileen/Jason would take his word over poorly Michael.

Frankly as much as I'm enjoying Phelan scheming (and singing!), cannot wait until the dimwitted Grimshaws get their comeuppance. Jason has seen Anna's shifty behaviour, Kevin and Michael's disapproval, even warned by his big brother, and yet he still sides with the dodgy builder. Phelan must feel as if he's hit the jackpot, what bumpkins!

The 'by-election' nonsense.........very unprofessional. What was the point of having the chairperson if he wasn't allowed to speak???

Spoiler
I have to say that it didn't look like BURN on my keyboard (r and n looked like an m) so I was a bit open-mouthed at the apparent turn of events in Corrie...

Billy No Mass is annoying in that he doesn't act like a vicar, we've only seen him do one wedding
I've never understood why they made Sean's latest a vicar.

I can only imagine that (as usual not thinking ahead) they saw hilarious comedic possibilities for Sean.

What was going on with the R/C helicopter stuff?

Jason and Phelan were supposed to have found it on the way back from a night out. Fair enough that they might find the helicopter (swept away by the wind and lost by the owner) but to come across the hand controller and for it to be all charged up and ready to go? Really?!

When the factory staff were discussing beds, and one of them asked Alya what hers was like, instead of saying "lumpy", "hard" etc, she replied simply "it's just a single"

Later, when her new friend was invited to stay over, Alya said "don't hog the duvet". So she's got a small bed and is now having to share it? Seems a bit unfair!

the highest form of ignorance is when you judge something you know nowt about


A parish priest celebrates daily Mass, hears confessions every week, gives marriage counseling, provides prenuptial counseling, gives spiritual direction, anoints and visits shut-ins and the sick in hospitals and nursing homes, teaches catechism (a book that contains the doctrines of Catholicism) to children and adults, baptizes, witnesses marriages, performs funerals and burials, attends numerous parish and diocesan meetings, prays privately every day, does spiritual and theological reading, and finds time to relax now and then with family and friends. And once a year, he’s expected to make a five-day retreat in addition to doing his regular spiritual direction and daily prayer. Yeah, busy job

go read up on the roles of a priest in the community before you go judging





That diatribe is about Roman Catholic Priests. Billy's an Anglican Vicar.

I think its pretty much the same for all denominations. They all seem really busy.
All except Billy, that is.

I agree at least he's not in all of Sarah's scenes anymore.

Is Aiden really discussing the fact that he fired Eva infront of his staff? That's of nobody's business other than Eva and the the people in charge.

Bethany is a virgin at 15, the shame, what an insult! Especially considering that they'd apparently been calling her a skank in previous weeks.

Poor Connor McIntyre having to act that scene with Les Dennis, his attacking of a heart attack seemed more akin to a cartoon than to the serious gritty soap that this show is supposed to be.

Don't Sean and Beth have better things to do with their time? In fact everyone there watching Michael get into an ambulance after seeing it go by, why?

That election debate was a joke, was the guy in the middle another candidate or...? It feels like they're trying to be elected as Councillor of Coronation Street instead of Weatherfield. How many voters were there combined between the cafe and the rovers? 20 if that so what exactly was the point of it?

Nobody would believe him anyway. Nobody listens to the ones in the right until it is too late. You'd think Eileen would learn after the whole Tyrone and Kirsty incident, but obviously not.

If the writers actually expect me to worry for her and Jason think again, they have what is coming to them. This sucking up to Pat and having him cooking breakfast and taking out the bins is stupid anyway, what friend or acquaintance does that? I would feel suffocated having him constantly interfering.

The whole chisel thing was hardly worth the bother. What is the going rate for a few second-hand, rusty old chisels anyway?


Phelan is clearly a popular character as he has hadf as numbert of returns. Corrie should keep him as the street baddie and keep him with Eileen. Let dopey Michael move back with dopey Gail.

I know vintage tools can be pricey, people who maintain and restore old plumbing etc., will buy them but I don't see how chisels would fall into that category.

Surely an area like Weatherfield would be a Labour stronghold, so Norris and Sally would do well to cast their campaigning net a bit further than the street they both live on, where they already have a reasonable chance of a vote or two?

Sally's rousing speech in the Rovers in front of about ten mute, nodding people made my soul die just a little bit it was so god awful. I hope the actress is on a good salary, she can't be in it for the job satisfaction

Yes I did wonder who would throw away or be so careless to accidentally lose the helicopter AND the controller. If whoever it belonged to threw it away as they were bored with it then more fool them as they could have sold it and got some money back. If they lost it I find it very hard to believe that they would drop the helicopter and controller in exactly the same place right next to each other

Not to mention the instant mastery of the controls to enable it to fly through a door and hover in a room.

20 people at a debate for a council by-election is actually pretty good.

I don't believe Phelan was just having the chisels cleaned. A single antique chisel, depending on the make and type, can sell for as much as £60. If those he was looking at were in that category, the lot would sell for £300/400 and I can't see a snake like him not finding an excuse on why they suddenly couldn't be found. He certainly wouldn't pay for them to be cleaned if he didn't have an ulterior motive - there'd have to be something in it for him.

Nice to see that, as the scenes would have been filmed 6 to 8 weeks ago, the writers had already realised the pun of "Phelan" and "feeling" and hopefully that they only used it once to stop it getting stale and boring.

But I suspect there will be some saying what a nice guy he is, even though he left Michael at the foot of the stairs, clearly in trouble and mocked him. Whether you like Michael or not, no decent human being would behave like that.

I am hoping they bring a pun on Phelan's name into every scene he does it's just what Corrie needs more humour.

Certainly needs something to counteract all the retconning and character history forgetting.

Yes I thought that too, as if two grown adults would share a single bed especially when Zeedan offered her his and said he would sleep on the settee. But the biggest shocker to me was that she wasn't immediately asked to move in. Now she works on the street she too will also be living there soon too

I don't know where they're going with the Bethany bullying storyline, but so far it's following the story of Phoebe Prince from Massachusetts which made international headlines in 2014. That poor girl went through hell and actually hanged herself so I'm sure they won't' go that far with this one.
