Heating on upstairs but not downstairs?

Obviously neither Fiz nor Tyrone know that heat rises so upstairs would be warm if the heating was on downstairs. When central heating became common in the sixties, many houses just had radiators downstairs for that very reason and it was considered to be bad to sleep in a room that was too warm. Heat from downstairs was sufficient.

I suppose that they want the upstairs warm for "the girls" because that's where thy spend most of their time - certainly not in the living rooms with Fiz and Tyrone.

How can someone who owns 50% of a thriving extremely busy garage business be so in debt and hard up and wouldn't it be up to Tyrone since he is the majority shareholder of the business whether the business expanded or not?

She needs to be there so that they can all have a go at her.

I guess Sophie will come barging in brandishing her clipboard at the first opportunity, shouting the odds. So tiresome and tedious.

If Jack and Kevin are OK with her, all the others should just keep their big fat noses out of it, especially Sally who is being ridiculous, as usual ”

All the factory workers led by Sally will be sneering and sniping and then a Connor will have to come out of the office and tell them to shut up and get on with their work!

No need for Sophie and her clipboard. Mummy is working there and it should be noted that in yesterday's eps Sally had a clipboard at the ready. Although it wasn't a very nice clipboard and not an executive businesswoman clipboard like what them very powerful women Michelle and Sophie have got.

Apart from the price of a bacon barm; do Fiz and Ty know anything?

I'm sure that Tyrone isn't the majority shareholder in the present garage.

Episode updates Wednesday 4th November 2014

"Sophie finally gets round to open the card from Kevin. Beside a large 21 on the front, he has added a % sign. He explains that he's giving her 21% of the new business!"

Kevin gave her 21% of the NEW business in the arches, not the current one. Seem to remember Kevin saying it would be valeting or similar rather than fixing cars.

Well according to Corriepedia Tyrone owns 50%, with Kevin owning 29% and Sophie owning 21%.

All ganging up on Jenny about taking little Jack away so where was the little man in question when all this was going on?

Sally was way over the top in her reaction to Jenny. I really want Tim to bring her down a peg or two. Loved the way he dragged her off up the stairs last night so she couldn't interfere with Christian Sophie (think she has forgot she is Christian by the way) and Kate.

What was really unrealistic was Michelle saying don't involve my cousin! It took me a while to realise she was talking about Kate but she is not her cousin is she? Can someone explain please?
If Carla was not in the street, what on earth would Michelle do? She follows Carla around like a nosey interfering person she is.

What I quoted is what actually happened in the episode. Episode updates isn't written by anyone involved in the production of Corrie, but by a group of viewers noting what happens on screen as it happens.

Can you really see Kevin allowing Tyrone to be the majority shareholder in the current business? Apart from that Tyrone has had absolutely no input into the conversion of the arches which Kevin bought when he sold the Stanley Street garage he'd previously bought without Tyrone from a friend, Vince, who retired, but never seemed to do anything with. It was Sophie who suggested he sell that and found the arch.

It's possible that "value range" is registered as a trade mark (or whatever the modern equivalent is), especially since I don't think the term has any actual meaning per se.

Cousin about three or four times removed.

So you are saying that Corripedia is incorrect and should not be trusted as a reliable source for information about Corrie?

Yes. They've got things wrong in the past - it's another fandom site, just as episode updates is, and not an official part of Corrie production. The difference is that episode updates gives an almost minute by minute account of what happens, while Corripedia is a summary and like Wikipedia can be edited, added to, or changed by anyone.

So if the episode updates in a sense is only as accurate as the script writers make the episode and since it is known that the scriptwriters have made mistakes in the past so it could be that the scriptwriters have got who is majority shareholder of the garage wrong by simple forgetting how much a percentage of the garage Tyrone owns?

Kevin's son died 15 years ago - different production team, different writers - so they could easily forget that, although they shouldn't.

Tyrone invested in the garage that Kevin owned around 2008 and they each own 50% or maybe 51/49%. It's only in the past year that Kevin bought the Stanley Street Garage alone and, at Sophie's suggestion sold it to buy the Arches. And it was only in November that Kevin gave Sophie 21% of the NEW business. That's too recent for them to have forgotten.

The writers haven't forgotten how much of the garage Tyrone owns, nor have they forgotten how much Kevin owns. It's viewers who've decided that Kevin gave 21% of the existing business to Sophie rather than of the new business, probably because she's taken over the accounts of the existing garage..

Both episode updates and Wikipedia say it's the new business she has shares in. It's Corriepedia that doesn't mention which business.

I think Janet is right.

Kev gave Sophie shares in the new business. He didn't give her a job and he certainly didn't give her a job or shares in the existing business - the garage. But that didn't stop her leaving her shop assistant job immediately and start working in the the garage. The garage actually has nothing to do with her shares. Corrie have just confused matters by giving Sophie a job in the garage and making it seem like she's the boss. None of it makes any real sense.

Not sure that Jack Duckworth gave his house to Ty either. Didn't he buy from Jack?

Good point! Could be cheap and good value as much as it could be expensive and good value!

Generally speaking 'value range' means cheap and good quality whereas 'finest range' means expensive and of no better quality.

Michelle. Since when does Kate need Michelle Connor to stick up for her? She didn't even argue back with Michelle. As if. And you are so right about Steve and his depression. Even though he crashed the mini bus and put others in jeopardy. That was ok when because it was Steve. And when it was thought that Carla had set fire to the flat, killed two people and nearly killed Amy that was ok. We didn't see Michelle condemning Carla. The past SL continuity on Corrie is appalling. Michelle didn't do anything when Mary was attacked in the Rovers. She never does a thing in the bar. She's such a crap landlady.

I can't remember but did Sophie Webster carry-on, screech and denounce Carla re Maddie's death?

Fiz. Even when they aren't in debt, she makes life so miserable and joyless. Now they are in debt she stepped up the suffering. Pocket money? She allowed Ty out for a pint. Who would want to be with her or even consider marrying her?

Fiz, Sophie and Michelle should be killed off in a freak accident. Any suggestions welcome.”

Glorified extra, who sadly is going nowhere. All MissHell does is run after Carla, moan at Steve and stare from afar. Wish Rita told MissHell not to interfere in matters which don't concern her.

Maybe Alan B could come back from the grave and kill the hearsayers.

She had no family there, no connection with the place, so why return.

even way back in the depths of history viewers remembered Ena Shaples not wanting any éclairs with her half dozen 'fancies' in the first episode, so were rather surprised a decade later to see her eating one. back then the writers did not expect the show to run and people to build up a history of the character's back stories.

in the future we expect them to remember that adult Hope had cancer as a child or Amy is lactose intolerant so drinks black coffee because we will remember those things”

I bet they had a field day with Ivy Tilsley having different named husbands such as Arthur, Wilf, Jack and Bert in the 1970s, with Jack appearing in 1975 and a completely different husband in the form of Bert appearing only four years later. Not to mention she claimed she never had children, yet we later saw she had an adult son named Brian.
