CORRIE spoiler
Domestic violence rears its ugly head when the knicker factory scam reaches its climax in Coronation Street - and pretty Karen McDonald is on the end of it.
Evil Joe Carter, played by Jonathan Wrather, is cock-a-hoop that his scheme to bleed Underworld white has brought Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs) to his knees. He and Karen (Suranne Jones) have convinced Mike that Naveen is responsible for a robbery that has crippled the firm. All they have to do now is sit tight and wait for the company to go under before they can start living the high life. But at Joe's moment of triumph it all goes horribly wrong and the thug turns violent and beats up his live-in girlfriend Karen in a frenzied assault. Mike rumbles that a bogus company has been set up to syphon funds from Underworld's account and he confronts Karen who is forced to come clean. When Joe learns Karen has confessed all he turns on her delivering a vicious beating. Mike could call the police, but is simply too embarrassed to admit he has been conned. Instead he orders Joe to clear off never to return to Weatherfield and sacks Karen. |

Is that the bookies that she's never at? |

Come on, why on earth would he refuse to goto the police? If he doesn't want the whole street knowing what happened, then they'll probably find out through Karren anf surely if he goes to the police, the insurance claim will come through as they can say that Joe switched the alarm off.

It has been said elsewhere on other threads that Karen is convicted and sent to jail for her part in the scam but I suppose we'll just have to wait to find out. Personally I'd like to see Karen go to the Bad Girls prison, the one where Alma Baldwin and Sable Colby are currently held up in their designer cell with gin and tonic (and ice) being smuggled in for them by the screws
Fantastic stuff

Yeah she isn't leaving, but I don't think theres much evidence to implicate her, because the company is Artrec, Joe has previous form and Rita saw Karren when the Robery was going on and Mike would just want to see Carter punished, so it would be Carters word against Karrens.

Originally posted by M2A1G I read that Karen confesses all to Mike. However thinking about it there probably isn't any physical evidence against Karen as the cheques were payable to Artrec. There is the question of her not noticing that they were short on stock but that could be argued by incompetence I suppose. It will obviously come down to what Mike wants to do, as Karen is guilty of offences punishable by prison and at a level where only prison would be an acceptable punishment to a Court. However, as I have posted before Coronation Street is notorious for its fictionalisation of how the legal system works.

I think Karen would crack under pressure from the soap Police. Remember the hard time they gave Gail the vole when they thought she must have been involved in Richard Killman's business affairs. Anyway Captain Scarlet needed Karen to fulfil his ultimate plan, he couldn't have done it without her so she's equally responsible. No trial needed. Just put her in prison with the Bad Girls

However that the reality. I like this bit - "No trial needed. Just put her in prison with the Bad Girls " I agree wholeheartedly and I will drive the van myself if it will get her off the Street faster. |

I just think it's wonderful that the only thing you need to do to be a master criminal is to set up a company that's an anagram of your own name! Even though Mike has questioned Artrec a few times, and even now he knows it's all a fraud, he's still not rumbled! Only Corrie...
