If Ayla is sleeping on a sofa how does she look so beautiful.

Where does she keep her clothes, how does she straighten her hair, do her make up etc?

She'll be on the pill. I thought the camera work was subtle, panning on that baby poster.
Rana will be on the pill alright, it's just dawned on her that new husband has the emotional maturity of a 8yr old.

Freddie hangs her clothes on the floor every night before they settle in. He also takes care of hair and make up, he learned that from Kylie. The taking care of etc you can figure that out for yourself.

That was quick!! Where the hell was Caz hiding? In the bog?
in the cellar under the salon, left over from when it was ellensons rain coat factory back in the sixty's

amazing how it survived unnoticed for all these years dispite having maisonettes, baldwins factory then the salon built on top

The whole thing is beyond ridiculous, from Caz texting Kate, to suddenly appearing in the doorway, Kate identifying a website Caz had used once before and Caz showing her the webcam that supposedly sat on a shelf that no-one had noticed.



Did the writers really sit around and decide that was a great finale and a brilliant way of bringing it to a conclusion? How old are they? Five?
No, I have seem much better story writing from 5YOs, spelling's a bit suspect and the b's and d's are transposed but on the whole a lot better.

I think it was packets of the Pill?? Because of all the baby talk...Now we will have Zeedan all dewey eyed about babies, about 5 mins after himself and Rana have done it (to use the medical term) for the first time. Unlikely.
Now how will this all work out????

Zeedan talks about having kids. Rana immediately goes and nicks some birth control pills................? Daft.

Will Zeedan find the pills?

Will Zeedan have a toddler tantrum?

How much stupider can Corrie get, a man of Freddy's age leaving his own home to lodge in that hovel, all because of a casual conversation where Ty said the kids were missing him and they missed his rent?? He only stayed with them about a week!
Not only that, Alya said a few weeks ago that she was sleeping on Fiz's sofa , that was unbelievable enough, but I suppose she is homeless, unlike Freddy who has a choice.
Anyway, if Alya has to sleep on the couch , how come they have a room for Freddy, absolute tosh.
Maybe the writers feel they need to inject some more interest into the Fiz and Ty household and Freddy is their solution to liven the place up.

OR perhaps Freddy and Fiz are going to have an affair!!!

OR even better Freddy might do some decorating for them and get rid of all the Duckies stuff!

She'll be on the pill. I thought the camera work was subtle, panning on that baby poster.

Freddie moving in Fiz and Ty's hovel is daft. Doesn't Alya still kip there? And what will happen to that nice big house Freddie has?
Apart from the poster, the pills she nicked signposted the baby issue and her intention not get preggers.

Stealing the pills was absolutely stupid. She must know they take time to kick in and if she's on the pill already, she'll know what's what. After all, she is a nurse!


Freddy's house - exactly the same as happened to Cathy's house. Forgotten about.

But before all that ^^^ can take place - how does she get herself clean? Can you imagine the state of the bathroom at that place? Mould round the bath seal, scum marks in the bath and skid marks in the toilet.......................?

They probably don't even have a loo seat on the lavatory.

Their toilet paper is most likely -

or if Ty has been able to afford a copy of the Weathy Gazette..

http://www.1900s.org.uk/life-times-images/loo-paper.jpg

Best place for it if Sir Ken has an article in.

Or maybe even (Sorry bit rude but )

People in soaps don't go to the toilet, unless it is in a pub and they want to confront someone with a row or a warning!

My theory on Rana and the pills. She was a man and secretly had a sex change so she has to steal the hormone pills to keep her looking female, without the risk of anyone finding out she has a repeat prescription. Without them she wouldn't be the slim attractive young woman she is, but a big, burly, highly muscled man.

No more implausible than some of the stories lately - paying £15,00o to hold a flat and never checking on the progress of it; being severely burnt and up and walking normally within a week or so; police searching a flat and not finding a video camera; Maria being released within an hour or so of Caz being caught out; Gail having four dead husbands .................................. Oh! and everybody being so lucky that Michelle is in their lives.
That is neither a SOR nor implausible. It's a fact. We are lucky and blessed.

Actually she was there, she was on the stairs gently sobbing because there wasn't a crowd to fuss around her and Steve was elsewhere fussing over his other dog.

Trouble was they forgot to turn that camera on!

i assumed they were birth control pills.
but knowing the writers she will probably develop an irattional fear of getting the zika virus and take all manner of tablets to try and stave it off.

Hmm, maybe I jumped to conclusions by assuming it was a future addiction storyline but in my defense, it is Corrie we're talking about! I wouldn't put it past them.

I never thought it was birth control since.. well, why would you go through all that trouble just to steal birth control pills?? Sexually active women are encouraged to take it, it's not like you have to jump through any hoops to get it. All she's doing is risking getting in trouble with her work for no reason. And we all know that Zeedan is bound to find them at some point (he'll probably see them in her bag or an empty packet in the bin) so them being prescribed doesn't really make any difference, it's not like she's avoiding him finding out through the doctors. I don't really know anything about it, but could it be that birth control is shamed within her religion and so she feels like she has to steal it? That's the only explanation I can think of. I know Rana herself isn't particularly religious, but her family are.

Careful, they might steal that idea!

I know, and it really bugs me.
It would be great just to have a throwaway line every so often where a character says "Rightt, I need a dump" at the end of a scene instead of the well-worn soap cliche "I'm going upstairs for a bath"

They don't do that very often either

However, if Maria, Rana, Sarah ... would like their back scrubbed - I will volunteer (I will leave Eva's for Stuffy ).

And now he suddenly has all day to be there, despite that he has his window cleaning rounds and he's part owner of Street Cars.

Sally saying to Faye I expect you come to the allotment after school and do some work. What time does school finish 3.30? it would be dark by about 4pm

How did Sally manage to get an allotment so quickly, normally it takes. A wee bit of corruption then Councillor Metcalfe

The wedding beyond facrcical only outdone by the end of the Caz storyline. Is there not a script editor who reads this first before broadcast. The only plus side at least this should hopefully bring this ridiculous storyline to an end, Every cloud.......

Funny you should say that ... we came across a competition at a garden centre recently with a closing date of 31st November 2016!!!
Then if it has few people enter the competition, they could extend the deadline to February 29th 2017!

Exactly. Ludicrous. And Faye has homework, and has to help at home because her Mum has severe burns! Has Sally got early dementia or something, getting these daft ideas into her head.

The 'scriptwriters' perhaps? or perhaps KO and company need new crayons to concoct the latest ludicrous storyline.

Just wait until next year when she becomes Mayor of Weatherfield, mind you, she will have Audrhah to advise her on protocol etc. with her wealth of experience of civic affairs.
Hopefully Sir Ken will be well enough to advise her on more intellectual matters.
