Having caught up with Monday's thrilling double bill complete with cliff hanger, I really do despair at the depths to which this double pregnancy storyline is sinking. Rarely seen in the same scene together before, the implausible foursome who have zero chemistry between any of them are now driving away from Coronation Street, munching biscuits in the backroom, rehashing another blackmail plot, texting and finding messages on someone else's phone, all within 10mins (apart from the half hour break). We are supposed to believe Super Sperm Steve impregnated his wife and someone he has never shared a scene with (except probably a random conversation in the pub), within a couple of weeks. We are supposed to forget Nick and the former love of his life, who was also subject to the same blackmail plot. The worst of it is, this is going to be going through to the Spring.

The scene where Nick brings Steve off to some remote place, engages in the bizarrest of conversations with him and then threatens to blackmail him was excruciating to watch, like something out of a badly written novel. Steve slept with Leanne when she was single : how do we go from that to him being blackmailed by some weirdo (hello Nick) a few weeks later? This bears no resemblance to anything that would happen in real life.
and after all that blackmail Nick just drives him back home? |

The whole thing is far fetched nonsense. Even if Nick had some issue with Steve being the father of Leanne's baby, he would just have a quiet word with him in private, not drive him off to some remote location like a scene out of a Nordic noir thriller and then proceed to blackmail him. They're not behaving like real people, more like characters in a trashy and badly written novel.

I haven't watched Corrie since 1997.
I haven't missed anything in life and satisfied it was the right thing... (I await the haters who doubt my integrity and intelligence because I am new on DS) |

Gemma was late for work? It was before 9am. Since when do kebab shops open or the staff get in before the kids are at school?
The kebab shop has just TWO members of staff? ![]() ![]() ![]() Eva the love-matchmaker was at it again tonight. First Maria now Todd and Billy. Maybe she should start her own business! Mediation with Sally.

I think the sign on the door said 'open 11.30am'. I wonder how long it takes to prepare the kebabs. Surely not 2.5 hours.

It takes 2.5 hours to marinade and pound the shit out of that best quality Black Angus beef with a sledgehammer so it will be nice and tender for the little children.

Come to think about it, I haven't noticed that old moggie recently that used to hang around the ginnel (or Jigger, as we old Scousers would call it!) |

Not in Dev's shop, more likely to be old goat or yak meat.

And they're delivered as a single piece (I've seen a documentary), including the big stick up the middle. So I don't know what preparation is necessary. So Dev was telling Gemma she was late, in front of a clear notice saying the shop opened at 11:30am, and while Faye and Craig were on their way to school. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gail is a lodger in David's house, so what's she doing making the beds? Even if she'd agreed to do some light housework as part of the rent, would David still be having his bed made by his mother? |

Gemma said she had to clean out the fryer, which she obviously wasn't looking forward to doing. It's bad enough cleaning out a deep far fryer at home (which is why I no longer have one), so I can imagine what it would be like for a commercial one. Not a five minute job. Then it would need to be refilled and brought up to temperature and the other fillings prepared ready for opening at 11.30. |
