Don't be silly - that would be far too sensible for the writers to think of that. Much better to make the situation as convoluted and crowded as possible. You can't have any house/flat in the street with the right number of people in for comfort. They all have to be overcrowded with the exception of the up-market Victoria Court.

I think the confusion over where Bethany & Sarah lives is over the fact we never see them at Nick's. When Bethany comes home from school it's always the Platt's house she goes to, on the rare occasions that Sarah was working at the Rovers, when she finished her shift she went over to the Platt's house. Also as someone else said whenever Bethany was having one of her strops at the Platt's she would stomp off upstairs despite the fact she didn't live there.

As Soapster1 confirmed Sarah & Bethany are now staying at the Platt's so they have help with the baby

Yes, you did say that ^^^ but you also said -



You said of Michelle:

and



That's contradicting yourself innit?
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one as to me it makes sense but there we go. It's OT anyway so let's leave it at that.

Made sense to me, we haven't been told Michelle has had implants, so we have to assume they are supposed to be real, but there is every chance she may have had them done, but we haven't been told about it.

Not sure why that is so hard to understand!

Gail and David talked about this. David said to Gail you can have Max's room, he can go in with Lily and then Sarah can have the annexe. So unless Bethany is on a campbed in the annexe...or in beside Sarah in the bed, not exactly the most relaxing way to spend your first weeks at home with a new baby. Sharing a bed with your near adult-size daughter. If the script don't explain these things to us, it makes us think the writers haven't even thought about them.

Would have made more sense for Gail to go and stay in Nick's flat with Sarah and Bethany to look after Sarah and the Baby.
I think what David said was, Max can go in with Lily, and Sarah and the baby can have his room, Gail's annexe wasn't mentioned. Can't see Gail agreeing to giving up her annexe, as it will have to kept free for when Les get's back, obviously.

Why is Nick not selling his flat anyway, or is he so kind-hearted that he's keeping it so Sarah has somewhere to live...

Gail did offer to give up her annex when she was talking to David. That's when he offered Max's room - probably because he knew Sarah would freak at the idea of sharing with Callum. Up until then he hadn't wanted Sarah and her brood to move in at all.

Thanks, I suppose it just depends on how you read it but I thought I'd got the gist of what I was trying to say through.

^^^ That's not what was said though, is it?

Two statements made separately mean something entirely different. However, if this happens as in your post:

But there is every chance
'But' - signifying a contrast was never used. A juxtaposition was never made. There were two different statements, posted a different times and therefore having an entirely different meaning.

Syntax and semiotics eh? Not sure why they are so hard to understand.

Nicely done.

Have got ITV2 on. There's a Corrie repeat. That scene with Ken and Amy and the April Fool joke was dire.

And why did Ken and Audrey shift seats in the Rovers? Freddie was sitting with his back to the door in the Rovers. After Freddie had got up to see to the stag party lads, Ken and Audrey were sitting in his place and David and Kylie were sitting in their seats!!

My mistake , I didn't hear that part with Gail offering to give up the annexe
How on earth would Sarah even agree to live in that house, knowing that her baby's father is under the floor, not to mention the overcrowding with eight of them living there? Will only get worse when Michael comes back, as it's a dead cert, that he'll be moving in as well!

Never noticed the seat switching Too busy laughing at Ken's face whenever Freddie appears.
Talking of that scene with Amy, why did she say she's was going upstairs to use her phone, has she forgotten that her bedroom is downstairs?

Had been wondering where I'd seen the actor who plays Will before as I recognised his face and voice. I Googled his name and it rang a bell as well. He was of course the face and voice of Norman Jayden in Heavy Rain, one of my favourite games ever! He was a great actor in that so I hope we get to see more of him beyond this storyline.

no, but the writers have

they have probably forgotten she is lactose intolerant too as we have seen her tucking into a few bowls of cereal for breakfast

I assume it's not been mentioned as he is most likely staying so no reason to make leaving the area for Devon seem in the least bit realistic. The purchased cottage can just be glossed over in a 30 second scene and it'll be business as usual at the Platt/Tilsley residences.

And apart from the one viewer (Tracy, duh), we haven't seen much action in the selling of Carla's. As we don't know her exit s/l there are enough Connors lined up to moved in if necessary, it's hardly worth employing the Estate Agent further.

Was Amy's music lesson at Yasmeen's community centre?

If so, what the hell did she need taking there? It's only over the road, and she is, what, 12?

And even if she did need taking, that would use up about five minutes of Michelle's gruelling schedule

Would the 'silver fox' in the Community Centre really fancy Liz? He seemed quite classy.

Sarah seems like she's prepared to coast along forever staying at other people's houses. She never mentions getting a place of her own - though I suppose that would require more than a few shifts at the pub to finance.

How did such an aimless drifter manage to hold down a job and home in Italy without her mom and brothers around?

And what has happened to Curly Si? Is he still staying at the Barlows'?

LOL! Aidan Connor will have it bought within no time!

Stupid wasn't it?

Sophie and Kate.Wonder what's going to happen there then?

Sally and Yasmeen. Who's the biggest pillar of the community?

Jason Grimshaw. Is there anything he can't do?

At least Michelle has pulled herself together and got rid of her first love Will who she went out with when she was 14. Not to be be confused with Dean who was the love of her life and who must have knocked her up shortly after she split with Will when she was 14½ or maybe even 15. Classy.

What! Not fancy Liz McDonald? Any man would be beguiled after seeing her standing outside the Rovers leaning on the window sill, vaping/puffing away and dressed so smartly in those lovely PVC trousers!

Even Mr Faye who rarely ventures a comment during Corrie other than 'this is shyte' or 'I'm going to go and clean up the kitchen' wondered why on earth Kate would be randomly helping Sawphie wash the cars.

There may have been mentions of them both being far too overdressed, and foam, and wet tshirts and similar. But thats not an SOR just the musing of a DOM

Why does Liz who now appears to smoke Ecigarettes still stand outside smoking (she has done this a few times)? Oh yes of course so she can gossip with random people and of course to flirt with grey haired man today

maybe that is WHY she split from will

Liz must have a mind as mucky as the back of a coal scuttle to assume Michelle is doing the dirty on steve with the guy she went out with in high school.

because she has never strayed has she 'or nor' as clean as freshly laundered bed sheets in the untouched driven snow is Liz
