Who's paid for Michael's funeral?? 🤔 Where on earth do they get the money from for all these funerals at short notice?
She pays a small amount every week which soon mounts up as it can only be used for current husbands. The man from the Pru used to call each week but now it is paid by direct debit, probably from all her widow's pensions. |

Gail has a special widows and orphans insurance account, from when she was first married.

Gail also has her own section at the cemetery for her dead husbands.

I find it odd that Daniel would turn to payday loans given he's the 'intelligent' Barlow. Then again, desperate times call for....

Last night when Adam went outside to take the phone call there was clearly a wooden fence between the houses. When did that appear, all the gardens, in the past, were enclosed by a brick wall?
It's the same at the Windass flat. On the outside, the door and stairs are on the right of the property and so should be on the right side of the lounge on the inside. But inside the flat they are the left. ???? |

(Rita's must be three bed now with Gemma and Jenny there) so is flat 12 one bed? |

The bit where Sarah said to Gail, 'whenever you hear an ice cream van in the Summer you'll think of Michael' was very strange. Was it supposed to be funny or sweet. It sounded like somehing nanna would've said in the Royle Family.
What happened to his ice cream van? Will that be forgotten about or will it appear outside Gail's next time they need a hilarous dash to the hospital and its the only vehicle to go in. Say when Michelle or Leanne goes into labour, I can see it now. All these long lost kids of Ken's are too much. He's gone from gurning Tracey to having three sons as well overnight. I know they came back after Ken's stroke (which like Anna's burns seems to have almost have miraculously gone) but why didn't they appear after Deidree died or for Christmas visits or birthdays? Ken's been told to phase out the dreadful 'stroke acting' of talking out the side of his mouth, he was almost speaking normally last night. ![]() Why didn't he use his ice cream van to get to the yard? Where has it been these last few weeks? (In the magic lock-up along with Mary's and all the others I guess). Forget the factory that's been in debit for the past few years due to strong competition from Asia. Open up Corrie's equivalent of Lourdes - Gemma can take the money, wearing her new badge of 'newly assimilated character reformation'. |

Why Corrie picked six years ago I have no idea, unless there is more to this story. |

The Barlows kitchen extrends across the back room window which must (but doesn't) make it very dark in there
the windass flat used to be accessed from victoria street so the flat layout made sense, quite why the built the new entrance on rosamund street is beyond me, but the stairs can go behind the kitchen area and dogleg right to the door. none the of flat layouts match the outsides very well. how the hell the fit marias and katie's flats above the salon / taxi office building or ritas flat / number 12 above the kabin makes no sense at all. (Rita's must be three bed now with Gemma and Jenny there) so is flat 12 one bed? The Windass flat stairs might dogleg round but it doesn't make sense! The original layout you mentioned was far more sensible. Is that big piece of tarpulin still blocking the road in between the Victoria Court flats and the gym? |

Ken's been told to phase out the dreadful 'stroke acting' of talking out the side of his mouth, he was almost speaking normally last night. I knew his stroke recovery wouldn't last long. Corrie are very impatient when it comes to showing recoveries from injuries. It's like well we've shown the big dramatic incident but we can't have the individual in hospital too long so we'll get them on the road to recovery in no time. Patrick in EE took a good 18 months/2 years to recover from his stroke |

The outside looks like it has been extended but the inside doesn't. From the inside, the kitchen doesn't seem like it's been extended and the door still seems to be on the side.

There are so many ways that people can be affected, from someone not even knowing that one has occurred, putting it down to "having a funny turn"' to someone else being totally incapacitated, with permanent brain damage! There is just no right or wrong way to act like someone who "has had a stroke". If you want to criticise any silly way to portray a medical condition, look no further than Anna the fishwife. For anyone to act as she is doing just a short time after serious burns on her legs and extensive skin grafts is just beyond credibility and is just insulting the viewers intelligence! |

I don't understand why folks are going on about Ken's portrayal of "a stroke" as if there is just one way that a stroke can affect people.
