It's totally farcical, they seem to forget about storylines all the time. Zero quality control on this show.

The Phelan/Todd SL is shaping up nicely as is the Caz/Maria SL.

Then we had the Alahan twins v Erica SL.

Beth to Kirky - You on the packed lunches? Ha bloody ha. The was in very bad taste. Poor Ozzy only died yesterday.

But did anyone notice Ozzy was back tonight? He was playing a guide dog.

I did wonder if anybody else noticed that.

Why would Maria go away for a few days and leave her post unopened, especially if she was waiting for a new credit / debit card?

Her Uncle Stephen, Gail's brother, who she worked for in Milan
Are we meant to forget Sarah's eight years of 'international' experience?? Is she just happy to remain as a barmaid? How on earth can she even secure a mortgage on shift work?

She threw money at Phelan before when she was having an 'episode' (no makeup) and wanted the doors locked. Now she magically has some savings and thinks a flat would be best for her, Bethany and Harry.......seriously.

They missed a trick with Sarah. She could've come back, all worldly, with ambitions, taking over the day-to-day running of the factory or working for a fashion house. Instead, she returns -- tail between legs, knocked up by the fairy gangster. Blimey, considering all the 'men' she must have sh*gged in Italy, I'm surprised she didn't come back with a flock.

Caz will steal Maria's identity. The Erica scenes with the twins were horrendous. Wooden and miscast. Still can't understand why Erica is the new cook and housekeeper and works in the miserable shop. Dev must have hidden talents is all I'll say...

Glad to see Sarah planning to buy one of Phelan's imaginary apartments on £15k and P/T barmaid wages has been mentioned.

The whole flat situation has been poorly thought through. What a co incidence the deposit seems to be £15k and Sarah just happens to magically come into £15k. Even if the flats were built how the flip could she afford a mortgage. She is a part time barmaid earning say £500 per month. She would never get a mortgage.

Same with Alex how can he afford a mortgage.

Come on KO get your act together grow a pair and get rid of the crap storywriters. A bloody 10 year old could write better

I got the feeling they have done something else to Erica that she hasn't discovered yet.

How would they have got Marmite on her nose?

Caz may have the card, but the banks usually send the PIN number separately. She may not get another opportunity to go through Maria's post.

Yep.

While she was asleep they gave her a frontal lobotomy. Now she will obey their every command.

This is Corrie land, remember, where passwords, phone locks and PINs don't exist! (Or if they do, are easily guessable.)

(But I haven't been sent a new PIN for years, these days you just keep using the old one, so there shouldn't be a second envelope in the post.)

We don't know if it is a new or replacement card.

I bet I can guess your PIN number (I was looking over your shoulder one day at the ATM!) It is

Presumably when she was taking the fake nap earlier on. It must have happened offstage, or else they cut the scene as it was too cringy.
Oh, hilarious they are that pair, how we laughed. Except we didn't because it wasn't funny, nor even slightly entertaining. It was the school play badly written.

The marmite scene reminded me of The IT Crowd where Roy didn't have sh*t on his face. I thought that was where it was going, but pre-watershed . . .

Erica 'Can you smell something ?' LOL

She probably beat it out of OZZY before he left this mortal coil. I think the vets diagnosis was wrong. Internal injuries were the cause.

Those blokes Billy was with outside the cafe were a bit weird. None of them were interacting. They were just standing there. Then when Billy and Todd set off to clear the house they all walked past in a tight group but still no interaction.

What were they cybermen?

Todd's story. I hate it when a character suddenly dredges up some long-winded tale from the past that to explain why they are the way they are.

I'm a mean, cold, heartless, lying, two-timing, calculating, scheming, cheating, thieving, murdering, hateful bastard because................................
BIB: To be fair, hasn't there been loads of people asking for a backstory as to what happened to Todd in London? It at least answers that question.

Roy and Cathy's December wedding... Who wants to bet that it'll be the new storyline for Christmas now they're having to rewrite the Nazir's storyline?

I checked the comments on Corrie's Facebook page the other day and unbelievably, there's still people wondering what happened to Alya's supposed pregnancy! It'll never end!

Well now we know the reason for Maria's sham marriage storyline - to bring out the really evil Kaz.

And all of those people thinking they're getting a flat with a £15,000 reservation fee and no mention of the purchase price, a deposit or mortgage. What do they think happens moneywise after they've paid their reservation fee? Obviously no-one has given that a second thought.

That's because they are all as thick as shit they don't have a brain cell between them because if they did they would be dangerous.

At least for once the 'powers that be' are trying to explain/justify. Not seen the episodes yet, will save that until glass of wine time.

It also doesn't seem to have occurred to them (or the writers) that a builder only takes a reservation fee. The bank or building society supplying the mortgage takes the deposit and only when they've established that you can afford to repay that mortgage on what you earn. On a part-time barmaid's wages - never!

Is it not usual to hand over the reservation fee when you sign the contract?
Sarah has to cash in the shares, that she hasn't received yet, before seeing any money.

The three stooges are going to get very rich this way!
