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? Gone are the days when the barmaid woke up, slobbering over the couch looking disheveled. They look practically perfect in every way now, layer upon layer of make up, hair combed with a pork chop and overdressed. Too much time spent dressing them up, little care goes into acting and rehearsing. No wonder Julie Goodyear was aghast when she returned. ![]() Quote:
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! ![]()

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

The same way Roy managed to get one. Didn't Cathy only visit hers because it belonged to her late husband? They've both given them up now so it seems, so Sally must have got in there quick. Aren't there some places where you have to wait years on a list?
Sally said she'd pulled some strings to get it. |

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. ![]() I was confused/astonished by this too. One minute they are having to have an extension built into the loft space because they don't have enough room for them and 2 small girls. The next minute they have a series of lodgers. I was also astonished that Tyrone said he was missing Freddie's rent. He stayed there 2 weeks at most and was invited to stay because Tyrone felt partially responsible. I assumed that when you invite some, who already has a home, to stay that they are a guest not a lodger. And how come Alya is sleeping on the sofa but they have room to take Freddie in as a lodger? One bathroom - 4 adults and 2 children - that'll work. Lastly I am 60 and I have never in my life known any neighbours, friends, relatives, work colleagues or even just random strangers who take in lodgers. Yet in Coronation street every household seems to have either lodgers or different generations of grown adults and children living under the same roof. |

Why the need to bring them into the street? We've never seen either Freddie or Ayla in situ in Dobbs towers.
Can't we use our own imagination with Freddie still in the house he shared with his late wife and Ayla renting a flat elsewhere? |

Knowing Corrie probably just for the scene of Tim spotting and buying the vase so he could con the Weatherfield Achalogical society into digging his allotment.
![]() but they confined their 'dig' to just one allotment and one afternoon just giving the top soil a quick turn over. have they watched time team. what a load of horlicks, neither funny nor plausible, as if the young archaeologists were likely to be deceived by an illiterate window cleaner, although one who seemed to know all about the good life programme which was screened when he was a toddler. |

I'm younger than Tim and I know what The Good Life is. It has been repeated a fair few times since the 70s
it was yet another of the 'clever' out of character remarks that he or even more dim kirk gets to utter every now and then. |

Like you, I dont know anyone who takes in lodgers these days, can remember when I was a kid one of our neighbours used to let their spare room to holiday people from Glasgow, as we lived at the seaside, but that was years ago. Why can't Corrie have regular characters living away from the Street like they used to, is it to save money on the sets, we don't even see Audrey's house any more? |

I agree with every word ! As you say , Tyrone first asked Freddie to come and live at their hovel of a house for a week or two to recuperate after his accident, and he had the cheek to charge him rent. Unbelievable!

It would be more realistic if they had these spare people move into some of the other flats in Victoria Court or the couple of houses we sometimes see the front doors of, near the shops (Roy's Rolls etc IIRC). Why can't all the VC flats have occupants that are in the show? Even when they did the fire in Carla's flat, there were barely two or three extras representing all the other occupants. |

I thought they were trying to turn Tim into a Jack Duckworth-type character, always up to some wheeze of other, and always getting found out. It's a shame because Tim is funny in his own way, and doesn't need these contrived escapades.

It would have been more interesting if they had organized a dig in fiz's stove. I bet you could chart what people ate in the early 1840s. Right up to the present with Alya and Freddy.

Two of my friends have lodgers, to help pay their mortgage. And another of my friend is a lodger. |

I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that people don't take in lodgers anymore.

I was wondering that as well. I had a job move back in the 60s, and needed somewhere to live. My new colleagues told me that the Citizens' Advice Bureau would have a list of likely landladies - and so it did. I wonder if it still does?

How does Alya who being a Muslim cope with the bacon fat laden air in Fiz and Ty's hovel?

![]() There is a lot of hypocrisy about in present day Britain, in all faiths and religions. |
