Uh-oh! The numbers have gone to pot!

Which reminds me, is the Izzy smoking pot for her pain SL finished?

And while we're on the topic of finished SLs, what about the Bethany bullying SL is that finished?

If so, neither were fully explored, so they weren't worth bothering with.

Ooops it's my fault I carried on from Honeythewitch's quoted post with number 24 in it. Sorry!

I think I've heard that the Bethany one is coming back, but could be wrong. Perhaps something will kick off which will get Sarah so stressed it brings the birth on prematurely - that would be a soap first! (can you see me rolling my eyes?)

It was disappointing the writers went down that route, because up until then the nu Baldwins were a breath of fresh air.

Still I prefer them to that family we have now!

Ah, my first Saturday job

is that really incest as they are not blood relatives. Incest is having sexual intercourse with a parent, child, sibling, or grandchild, not step family, although socially that would be frowned upon, it's not illegal.

anyway in wednesdays episode when sarah was having her panic about the baby a quick shot of kylie showed the front door wide open, no bloody wonder Callum used to just waltz in

29????

The fact you had close relatives, even children living in CS never to be mentioned again unless you need a break from the show and go and stay with them.

31 I make it, feel free to correct me.

If you go on holiday and meet a new partner you must bring them back to the street where they will find out they are the relative of someone who lives on the street.

Dont think that has happened very often has it? I can only remember Kylie.

Yep I'll do the straight-man lines while you get the laughs.

32. If you get married and want to have a baby, you won't be able to get pregnant. Unless you have a one night stand with someone else which guarantees an instant pregnancy. Although cheaper than fertility treatment, be advised it can impact your relationship.

I think he was a consultant until the end.

If there is anything with numbers you can guarantee I will mess it up. Its probably my fault.

It is illegal in scotland, but im not sure about England and Wales. Its very confusing about the law.
But blood or not, Frankie (?) brought the son up from when he was a small child as her own, so to me, the story was completely repulsive, and way beyond a suspension of reality.

And Dennis. Sort of. If you count the homeless hostel as a holiday.

33. After successfully conceiving a baby (probably unplanned & the result of an affair/ONS because no one in soap bothers to "put something on the end of it" as Jeremy Kyle says) u will give birth early & in about 10 minutes with no time to get to a hospital. The baby will be delivered by either your sworn enemy or the baby's father (who isn't your husband). Once the baby is born it will become ill or injured at some point & need hospital treatment, whereupon the true paternity will be revealed. After this the baby will be placed in the storage closet with all the other children & forgotten about. They may make very occasional appearances where they will be mute & not move or act in any way like a normal child.

This isn't unique to Corrie so no number, but only on TV shows do coppers arrest people by saying their full names (which usually aren't even known) plus even had that policewoman written them down in her notebook, she had extraordinary powers of recall to stand there reeling off 'Eva Price. Willian Mayhew...' and all the other names.

Was just thinking that. Phelan should move on to her when he's finished with Eileen.

Julie brought home by Kirk and she turned out to be related to Eileen.

6,785,432?
think that's the correct number

no matter which way your house faces the sun never shines into the rooms at different angles depending on the time of day or year

That's not oregano mate!

A completely pointless plot twist as well, unless it's meant to set up the premise that this girl is "loose" and plays around with men and that because Zeedan ignored this "chance" meeting he's going to get his heart broken.


Good points. For me the main SOR in this entire set-up is that, in just about all cases of "slave labour" in North America the worker was there without a legal visa (or only a short term visa which they outstayed) - which is why they were afraid to go to the police. Also, the family was invariably large, so the labour involved was cooking and cleaning for kids, etc. In other words, it made sense for the family to take the risk as full time paid labour would have been fairly high.

In Marta's case, isn't she allowed to work in the UK if she's from Poland? A lot of the hotel cleaners on my last visit were from Croatia and Poland. Why in the world would Marta not have wanted the police called immediately when the vicar and blondie broke into her room? Just how much would there actually be workwise for a childless professional couple who probably eat out a fair bit? Wouldn't it just have been easier for them to pay an Eastern European worker minimum wage for 2 -3 hours a day - esp. since they seem well off? You'd have your clean house without the aggro of a prisoner.
The entire thing was poorly written and made no logical sense PLUS we don't care as Marta was never a fleshed out character.

The reason I think Michael isn't interested in Gail's clunky advances is that he's not sexually turned on by her. Sure, Eileen was no prize - nor is he - but Gail looked SO unattractive in Friday's bar scene - with her receding chin and wrinkles, not to mention her silly "fake, sympathy voice" - that I can't imagine any man rushing to get naked with her. I'm not a man, but is there any fellow on these boards who could get it up for her???

Phelan will when he's done with Eileen No doubt Eileen will tell him the history.

I'm not a man either, but I think Gail is much nicer than Eileen.

If this Phelan storyline has done anything, it's confirmed to all and sundry that Eileen is a complete and utter arsehole of a woman. That's twice she's backed the wrong side in a dispute against two people she's known for years; Ty the other year, and now Anna. What a f#cking buffoon she is.

Nearly forgot to mention how freaking silly and unrealistic that scene was with Sophie watching tv after work in 6 inch heels......

Yes, they have ticked that box just by mentioning it a couple of times they have now moved on and it will never ever be mentioned again that she has any kind of pain whatsoever.
