So everyone in the Rovers celebrated New Years Eve (midnight) and then Mary left in a cab. Why? Couldn't she have waited until the morning? Its not like she had a flight to catch that night

But are they really mistakes? When I've watched programmes set partly in places that I know, I accept that they will use a bit of one place, and bits of others, so a character might walk round a corner and find themselves in a different town altogether. That's not an error, though - it's creating their own settings out of a number of others. They don't have to be true to the originals since they are creating something new.
........ie suspending reality?

When people leave corrie in a taxi how come its never one of steves but nearly always a black cab?
Because StreetCars only know their way around Coronation Street and the nearby streets. Anything further they need a Black Cab.

You're forgetting the airport run. That infamous ring road they always take to get you there. I'd hate to be paying the freight on that cab trip. The average time to get there is around 16 hours on that Highway to Hell.

Not strictly true - they're always fighting over who gets the lucrative Manchester Airport run (aka Ringway). That's a good 9 miles from Salford. Wow . . . what an earner !

oops > beat me to it

why were they singing at all

I was right about phlegm being the one to find Jack and help Anna

why did Norris go down stairs in the dark, another landing light not working

where were the fireworks, Jack was watching them in the opposite direction to Noris and Mary

Phlegm made a wonderful job repairing the door, it looked perfect despite it being kicked off its hinges.

Confused newbie here, how did sean know shona? He delivered her to billy in the club
Presumably Shona would have asked for Billy by name and said Billy helped her out a couple of weeks ago

i wondered why he took it into the house, and when.

and where was the milk carton and broken glass Jack left behind.

and where was phelan when todd and billy-no-mass were bringing shona in. He was leting himself in when he saw Jack so was obviously going home

Sean said he found her on the doorstep so would have asked her what she was doing there and who she wanted

Except for when it's LLoyd and Andrea left in an open top sports car. When they were driven down to the bottom of the street and back to be dropped at Lloyd's flat.

Have to say Erica looked fab tonight.

In less than a week Mary met her son, left to go and live with him and then changed her mind and decided to return.

When she left I said she'd be back before the end of the week if not before. I was not expecting it to be the same flippin' episode!

So that's the Mary's secret son saga done is it?

Right the only thing Ive ever stolen in my life and thats 60 years was a pencil sharpener off a kid who sat next to me in class. That sharpener burnt a hole in my hand all the way home till I crossed the road and a car ran over it So since then Ive not pinched anything. So it might just be me but surely if Shona pinched Davids wallet last week she would have taken any money in it out and chucked it in the nearest rubbish bin??

He's gone off into the black hole where the other past forgotten sons have disappeared to, such as Michelle's real son Alex and Hayley's son Christian.

Is that true or just speculation?

Anyway he has the great business genius that is Sophie Webster to ruin his business! You know, the daft cow who went to the US without insurance.

Ah yes. The SL is done and dusted so the person disappears.


Why did Rita and Jenny look so aghast when Johnny announced his retirement? Although, I liked seeing a nastier side to Eva. She needs to be more than just an OTT best friend to people, dumb blonde etc.

Another of my pet hates is the fact no one talks about absent friends.

Emily.
Carla, wouldn't her friends have visited her?
Sophie's sister, blimey it's been so long I can't remember her name. And would any daughter actually be away for so long?
Emily was mentioned by Norris over xmas when chatting to Mary about her going to South Africa he chatted about her being away too
Also Sophie is currently away in America staying with Rosie
