Mary has not done any research on Jude, he could be an imposter, con man, or murderer
Find the scripts of when Andy pretended he was Michael's son. Slightly edit them, and change the names to Mary and Jude, and there is a storyline

It doesn't feel like Corrie when they have cheesy incidental music playing in t'background.

Mary going to South Africa, just like that? I hope this Jude isn't a fraudster.
Ironically, I have relatives who have lived in S Africa for over 40 years and are coming back to live in the UK next year due to the unsettled political scene over there.

And, of course, Phelan was there to overhear.

AGAIN.

I hate this plot so much. They need to kill Phelan ASAP.
How did he know Andy would be in the ginnel anyway?

Unless it's Phelan's psychic abilities at work again.

I've really lost the plot on the Mary / Son/ South Africa storyline.
Was he in the UK at the time Gemma's video went out on social media?
Is it even possible he would have seen it, in reality ?
How does he know Mary is in fact his Mother - ie how has he found out for sure in such a short time?
Mary has not done any research on Jude, he could be an imposter, con man, or murderer
In reality, even if Jude is who he says he is, you would not pack up and go to live with him on the other side of the world...at least, go for a holiday first to check it all out.
Seems a rushed plot line - has Mary been written out officially ?
Gemma's video went viral iirc, I seem to remember her showing it to all and sundry whilst walking down the street.

I know we shouldn't be surprised any more, as it happens each time a character leaves the Street, but Mary was packed to leave for a new life in SA with just three small hold-alls. Who can really pack up their life so quickly and neatly? I take more than that for a week's holiday in Spain...

How on earth did Anna manage to fall down the stairs? It wasn't even pitch black!
Why was she even upstairs anyway. Wouldn't she wait up for Faye to come in? And why was Jack downstairs? Had he come down to get himself a drink? When Anna fell he had the nous to go outside for help but then just stood all alone in the street!

God knows, I have lost track. It's jumping all over the place and I keep thinking I've missed episodes despite having it on the planner to record.
So - did I get this right? Leanne is in hospital (when did that happen?) and Simon has been told she is visiting Janice? Surely he's old enough to be told the truth. Or have I mis-understood something?
Why the hell would Leanne be visiting Janice when Toyah has just turned up! And wouldn't Toyah also visit? After all she is Janice's daughter!

Not to mention her camper van. Did we ever find out what became of her huge camper van - or mobile home, whatever she called it?

Plus, what does his wife think? Does she really want a stranger living with them? Isnt she pregnant and about to give birth?

And he said that Mary doesn't have to work - really?

Is Mary having to take time off in real life or is this storyline just the biggest pile of pants since...errr....last week?
All good questions...I thought that I must have missed an episode or three.

You are so right....silly me.
Really, some of these storylines seem to be written by children, an insult to our intelligence.

Here's hoping she is dead, but we won't be that lucky.

So, Jude left his pregnant wife in South Africa over Christmas and will return with a complete stranger who he announces is his long lost mother.

I bet she will be thrilled.

New Year's eve - arguably the busiest night of the year and all the staff of The Rovers and the Bistro have the night off? Landlady Liz the only one serving at the Rovers and despite Robert being owner and head chef of the Bistro appears to be the only one front of house.

I feel as if I have totally lost the plot(s)

Christmas and New Year on the Street have merged into this dramatic mess of storylines that I just cannot be bothered to sort out in my poor confused mind

I just don't care anymore, about any of them

It got towed away by the Council after she got told she couldn't live in it parked on Coronation Street. We never saw Mary try to retrieve it or anything, it just seemed to get forgotten.

Me too. It's a mess flashing before your eyes at breakneck speed. When you're convinced that you've missed an episode but haven't, something's very wrong. It's turned into a cartoon.

Do we know why he is in the UK? Was it something to do with work? Or did he see the video in SA and thought he would come to the UK and "find" Mary.?
Yes the wife will be thrilled....if there is a wife....

Mary is the mother in law everyone would want

Especially at short notice and at considerable expense of the air fare too. Being left alone and pregnant over Christmas will soften the blow I am sure

When Kevin got the call to go and pick up Mr Connor (forgotten his name), Anna said "don't worry, we'll celebrate when you get back".

The next shot is the house is in darkness, Jack is downstairs and Anna is upstairs. For some obscure reason, the light on the landing didn't work (was there a power cut? The rest of the street looked ok), she went to walk downstairs and did a dramatic fall to the bottom. Even I can walk down my stairs in darkness.

Then, for another obscure reason, Jack opened the front door and then stood gormlessly watching the fireworks!!!

That was done so someone who just happens to be wandering along the street can find Jack in the street and then discover Anus at the bottom of the stairs.

I'd rather discover that than Anna. 😁

Why would Johnny pay £105 for three bottles of champagne in the pub? Anyone else would have gone to a supermarket or shop where it would probably be about £25 - £30 per bottle.

Jack would hear all the noise from the Bistro and Rovers and go to get help. Very handy that Faye is on a sleepover (that Anna wouldn't have permitted anyway)

As for Mary!!!! Well done for finding out all the inoculation and visa requirements, having an up to date passport, getting a doctor's appointment during Christmas fortnight and having the jabs with no side effects PLUS sorting all required documentation. WOW.

Indeed Mary must have got it all from the same source as Emily did when she nipped off to Peru like it's just around the corner.

what's the betting that random somebody is
Spoiler


little tots in nappys have got out and knocked on doors to inform neighbours their mother is hurt, yet a six year who has been flattened by tram demolishing a shop, abducted by a grieving mother, regenerated into a different child then nearly flattened by another tram just stands in the middle of the road looking sad.

has Simon got laryngitis?

he storms off in such a huff he forgot his drone

and where the hell was everybody else in chez barlow

As you say Jack would surely go straight to the pub or bistro. Also it being NY striking Id have thought all the partaying would spill onto the street
