The former I think We saw Michelle transfixed by her copy the other week so she'd be into that kind of garbage.


My money is on Tracey's Rosebud..........or failing that, Barlows' Buds.

Tracey's supposed to be naming the shop to impress Robert. Probably in the same way she impressed him by becoming a nicer person when she said in the Bistro that Carla could wear the same wedding dress as last time because it would still be in fashion.

I actually think she's named it after her mother... Diedre's Daffs anyone?! Or maybe Barlows Bouquets as she's not that considerate!

Preston's Posies?

...or Tracey's Stamens and Pistils

Will murderous Tracy start bumping people off so she can do the funeral flowers?



My shop name guess .............


Tulips From A Madame.

The Darling Buds Of Barlow.

Ooh the possibilities are just endless!

I think it will just be something simple like 'Rob & Tracey's blooms'.

Mr and Mrs Aceous-Border, and their son Herb.

or Tracey's bloomers.

I was expecting Barlow's Blooms at first, but yesterday's episodes made me wonder if it'll be Deirdre's Daffs or something.

They are usually around her ankles, same as Liz McMutton.

That should raise a smirk or two .... mainly from those who recognised the standard lamp from her bedroom.

I think she should call it "Tracy and a Plant".

With all the other uninspiring names like Audrey's, Nick's Bistro, Roy's Rolls and Wong's Chippy, I'm expecting summat amazing!

Like "Tracey's Flowers"?

Or just "Flowers"?

(I won't suggest "The Flower Shop" as there's one by that name in our town!)

Maybe she will call it 'Whetherfield Weeds'

Barlow's Buds?

Let's not forget she has Mr Rashids kidney ...maybe after him

That one's For Your Fries Only...

To be fair Corrie's businesses are generally pretty good with their punning names (Street Cars, Underworld). Although I'll confess it took me ages to "get" Roy's Rolls

How long has Cathy's husband been dead? Just wondering as if she doesn't know who she is insured with as he always dealt with all that as she said last night, if it's longer than a year she will not be insured at all. Or is that going to be the next gripping story line!

Didn't the spoilers suggest she names it in a way that is meant to please / impress Robert, or did I dream that?

I watch mainly because it's a 30 plus year habit and for the few handful of funny scenes - like Sally sniping at Anna before her big date. But the SOR, the repetitive cliched story lines and the lack of chemistry between the couples they throw together just because they live on the same street has made large chunks of the show strictly "background" viewing these days.

The most annoying SOR right now is exactly what SandraBee said above. I don't know anyone who obsesses about a drunken one nighter - no matter who you did it with - the way soap characters do. If both parties agree it "never happened" it's pretty easy to just block the entire thing out of your mind and go on as if NOTHING did happen. Considering the bed hopping going on in soap land, I wish they'd stop with this hackneyed plot device. All we need is for the next cliche - Carl is pregnant by Robert and Nick overhears them talking about it - because soap characters always discuss everything in public places.

She's probably mot insured and will abandon the house - as Mary has abandoned her motor home - so she can move into Roy's pokey flat and live on the street the way every character has to. Though I think she's got her feet firmly under his table anyway at this point.

I'm quite sure we'll never hear of Cathy's house ever again, not now that Roy and her are a couple and have said they love each other!
As for Mary now living at Dev's, and having her own room to take Brendan upstairs to is a SOR, as it would have to be a 4 bedroom house, and those old houses don't even have 3 bedrooms.

My thoughts exactly. Presumably if it's over a year, and I think it is or must be by now, they would have contacted her to renew. Or she is paying by direct debit so would have the name? Would she not have found out anyway because it would be something that most people would think to check, however long it is since he died?
Or possibly not if you're 12 years old as I assume most of the scriptwriters are.
