Lol!!! Not sure which is the biggest shock, me being right about design or Anna Windass wearing a £25 pinny to work in a greasy spoon!!

And why does Todd have Phelan's number programmed into his phone?
In the cafe it looked like Cathy was counting the takings, so why was it obvious the paper was only printed on one side? Quote:
To be fair they are on show so often, that he probably doesn't bother anymore.

People were saying Roy wouldn't get into another relationship after Hayley died. I am saying he might.
You were saying that you see no chemistry or believability in the Roy/Cathy relationship, which is down to bad writing/poor choice of actress. That has nothing to do with whether or not Roy would love another woman. I like Melanie Hill and I think she does her best with the crapola she's given to work with but the whole Roy/Cathy relationship has been poorly conceived and badly executed - from their original meeting at the long forgotten allotment, to her hoarding problem and her lovely house, which is presumably still out there in the burbs. They (and 95% of all the 'couples' on the Street) have had no meaningful dialogue together to make us buy into their romance or whatever it's supposed to be. Sally & Tim are just about believable if they resist going too far down the comedic route, Jack & Vera they are not. As for the rest ..... Michelle & Steve Fizz & Tyrone Kevin & Anna Aiden & Eva Beth & Kirk Ches & Sinead Nazirs Senior Zeedan & Rana Gandy & Steph Todd & Billy Nick & Leanne (again) Dev & Erica Eileen & Pat Johnny & Jenny NOTHING, NIL, NONE, ZILCH, ZERO |

I don't think Corrie have had a new believable couple since Peter and Carla.

He's going to secure a mortgage on his minimum wage couple of hours in the cafe earnings obviously.
![]() Why is Cathy so desperate for him to even have that flat? If she wants him to live by himself why doesn't she suggest he move in to her old EMPTY house. And why would he even think to ask Roy first? Thanks for letting me kip on your sofa, after I've only known you a few months ...... now can I have 15k? And Cathy works with Anna day in day out. She would know at least some of Anna's history with Phelon and she trusts her enough to discuss her bedroom arrangements with her. Surely Cathy would take Anna's word over Eileen's. ![]() |

This scenario is dotty. Cathy fired with a great sense of urgency over a flat that hasn't gone beyond the stage of planning permission for her nephew who obviously could never afford to buy a new flat of any kind on what he earns. It would be unkind to allow Alex to believe that he has a chance to get this flat, hypothetical as it is.

So where did the money come from to finance the fully kitted out Portacabins?
Surely they wouldn't have been ready and delivered in that time scale? |

It's not that unusual for people in relationships to have each other's PIN. Although, it's usually for people in longer relationships than Billy and Todd.
Blimey, is there any privacy at all in relationships these days?! To me, wanting to know your partner's PIN suggests trust issues and I'd be highly insulted if mine demanded to know my PIN.

You never see anyone in Corrie doing that. |

To me, wanting to know your partner's PIN suggests trust issues and I'd be highly insulted if mine demanded to know my PIN.We know each other's main computer passwords too, just through paying for stuff like holidays on whoever's card has money on it. We can both be open because we have nothing to hide, and don't think we'd steal from each other. It doesn't indicate trust issues at all, quite the opposite, although I'd also have no problem with anyone thinking that these things should be totally secret because that's the official advice and I can see that it's entirely sensible. It's just that in the day to day practicalities of living together, these things have gradually become things that are 'couple' rather than 'individual' things. Billy & Todd though - far too soon. |

All this talk of PIN numbers for phones, did either Sean or Billy actually enter a PIN on Todd's phone from what I saw it didn't look like they did, which suggests that the phone was not locked so didn't require a PIN to access it.

I'm no expert, but would people hand over a £15k deposit for a flat on which construction hasn't even started yet? Wouldn't the process need to be further down the line? All Phelan has is planning permission for a theoretical development of apartments.
I've just caught up after two weeks away: if Caz is looking for a job, i see that there are four pages of them in the Gazette. |

You can also call the emergency services without a PIN. |

They have probably realised that viewers don't have much sympathy for Phalan's other victims so have gone for the sympathy for a victim with learning difficulties angle this time around to try and change that.
![]() The only trouble is; I won't feel sympathy for him or Cathy who is likely to go off on one when the dastardly plan is revealed. Even with a learning difficulty Alex is not likeable and neither is Cathy. She's a user as she expected Roy to stump up a large deposit for the flat. ![]() ![]()

It's not unknown where punters buy off-plan and unseen, but more likely when it's a super-super swanky development, and when money has to be got out of (e.g.) Ruritania fairly pronto, if not quicker. Those are the sort of people who can afford to tie up their money and wait for a couple of years. But then again, "due diligence" is carried out first, as opposed to what seems to be happening here.

Don't have my phoned locked. Neither does my husband. There's nothing on either that needs to be kept secret. We also know each others passwords for everything.

Alex won't be the only local that Phelan fleeces. I suppose for maximum impact they will have Roy agree to pay his deposit. That cowsey wowsey Cathy will work on him and Roy will agree. I really hope this leads to the end of her and her nephew. Can't stand either of them.
When it all finally comes out, and Eileen finds out Todd knew all along, she will no doubt kick him out, say she wants nowt to do with him..........blah blah blah.............then a few months later .......rinse and repeat....... she'll say family is so important..........blah blah blah.............and forgive him and take him back in. There'll be no long term consequences for him at all. It's soooooooo pathetically predictable............. predictably pathetic. |

I presume its not a smartphone, then, with access to emails, etc? If it is that is fairly careless/dangerous. It is recommended to PIN-protect a phone especially a smartphone.
. Re phelan and the police - so did they actually come about the flats, or did todd just say he was worried about his mum? |

That's a very good point and Corrie will expect us to feel sympathy for Alex; a person with learning difficulties.

![]() Alex is a bag man for Phelan. Most likely on a good commission and a percentage of the take. When every dime is extracted from every pocket possible they'll fold it like a cheap suit. Alex will have his own condo in Florida with an ocean view. It's what Phelan would want for him. |

It isn't as if there's a flat shortage round Weatherfield! I can't believe that anyone would be so stupid as to give £15k to two dodgy-looking blokes, one of whom recently went bankrupt and is working in someone else's scruffy yard in a tiny back street business. |
