Some day centres are open on Christmas day.
I know of at least three in my local area. My wife is a carer and several of her clients spent Christmas day in them. They get a Christmas dinner, chocs and sweets. A sherry or two and some entertainment.

No, I thought it was realistic, due to Tracy's many misdeeds over the years.
Those in the pub were all long-term neighbours who have either been at - or, witness to- the wrong end of her tongue. Her own ( step) father knows her the best of all. He may love her - but I doubt that he likes her. He will forgive her, though. What else can he do - he has to consider Amy... Her selfish machinations always involve & hurt other people. Unfortunately, I know a, 'real-life' Tracy. She has caused so much pain !! IMO, Kate Forde is a brilliant actress ![]() That's always a massive SOR in soaps, arguing in front of a large group of people when most people do so in private.....there are a whole load of reasons why it is never a good idea to air your dirty linen in public. |

"You'll never get an ambulance on Christmas day; not for love nor money"
Norris, when complaining to Kevin and Tim, mustn't have remembered his own accident on Christmas day in 2002 when he required the use of an ambulance after falling over in Emilys kitchen, and one arrived within minutes. |

You certainly wouldn't want your neighbours knowing about whatever relationship difficulties you were having though.

One couple would break up in the pub at least once a month. One time they both stormed out leaving their kids there for hours before she came back for them. |

I thought that too. Even if they didn't approve of Tracy it was horrible the way Robert asked her about Rob in public - and that was an SOR too. Why didn't he wait till they were alone? It would have been more in character.

Why should they consider her "feelings"? If it was anyone else Tracy would just sneer and make remarks. She deserves all she gets, just a pity she doesn't get humiliated or shown up enough during the year, too many characters take crap from her.

My dad owned pubs when I was in my teens and I remember helping collecting glasses etc and being shocked at what people would argue about in public / pour drinks over each other etc in a local similar to the RR where people know you.

The drawback to it though is everyone knowing your private business and judging you and also a loss of status within your community. There are clearly some people who simply don't care, hence them doing it repeatedly in public.

Like Tracey, these were people who probably don't care what people think or status (Robert's character doesn't seem like the type to do it in public though)

Is Luke still staying in Tyrone's? Why doesn't go and stay in Maria's empty flat while she is away? Can't be easy having being a family with two small kids, one a sick kid and some lodger constantly in the bathroom when your youngster needs it...

I think it would be unusual for friends and family to do nothing while a stranger humiliates on of their own. (even if she deserves it) |

And everyone in the Corrie (And EE) seems to share 2 bed terraced houses with 10 other people. WTF! Daft. Just daft. It's also ridiculous how they get a job within a day of appearing. That silly cow Vanessa getting a job at Audrey's is singularly the most stupid storyline this year (for me.) As if that would happen. Audrey hates her, she doesn't know her that well, and the woman is not a qualified hairdresser! 'Oh I cut my niece's hair once in 1980, so I can be a hairdresser.' How about I administered some aspirin to my nephew in 1990, so I am a qualified doctor! Stupid! And re Tracey; I agree. As if her dad would have thrown her out for sort of two timing Rob! And then let Rob stay while Tracey sleeps on the streets! |

This is what I find so stupid and pathetic and laughable about the soaps; how people constantly live with each other, and distant relatives who have not seen the people in the street (or square) for decades, just move in. If a random second cousin of mine who I had not seen since 1979 came to my house and expected to live here, I would send them off with a foot up their @rse. I am not even keen on visitors, and start watching the clock after half an hour when they're here; I am pretty sure I would never have anyone living here; and certainly not a flippin' work colleague!

To be fair, Nessa did say she was qualified and had worked at a posh salon in town . . . . but she was taken on on a trial basis, so really Audrey has every right to tell her the trial hasn't worked out.

![]() Convenient though eh? And still, Audrey was within her rights to say no, and she should definitely say 'on yer bike!' now, seeing as how Vanessa has not showed one single sign that she is a qualified hairdresser, and is bone idle.. Quote:
