Coronation Street #32

This Lucy really isn't what the show needs right now - more relentless misery and a tedious, stroppy, unhinged teen.

I'm watching the build up of the Tony Gordon storyline from January 2009 and Steve's affair with Becky. It's gripping but there are also lots of real laugh out loud moments. There's no nuance anymore.
I’m a wee bit ahead of you. Honestly loved it. Actually couldn’t wait to watch it. I record it and make sure I’m all settled to tune in. The difference to today is so sad. But it’s the same with Emmerdale also.

We don't need a mini Jodie aka Lucy, would SS put her with Sally and Tim while already fostering two children with their past, and having no real past fostering experience?
Also would social services place Lucy with Sally and Tim when until Brody moved out they didn't have a room for her because Brody's sisters were only on holiday. Social services weren't to know that Brody would move out when they initially needed to place her.

I can’t get my head around Tim and Sally being her only relatives!
Yet there was never a mention of or appearance of her and her parents before this.
Surely there are closer relatives, on either her mothers or dads side than a cousin of her dad that she’s never clapped eyes on before.

I watch on YouTube and happily watch an entire year's worth in a week - it's a struggle to watch the 22 minute episodes of today's dirge.

Tim's relation Lucy is doing my nut in. So nasty and miserable. Sick of seeing her stropping about and crying all the time. Just a pointless storyline and character if you ask me.

I know - who actually cares?
She and Jodie with their mopey faces having scenes together is doing my head in.
Why won't anybody stand up to Lucy? 'The only reason your mother is dead is because your father killed her'*.
Tim should've kept his nose out telling him to go home - but it was just advice. The father didn't have to listen.

*ignoring the fact we all know Lucy did it.

Just had another thought. Why was Jodie in the Connor Swain garden anyway? I'm sure when Sally had her garden party to show off the pizza oven Carla was in that garden asking them to keep the noise down.

I believe she was in the Platt's garden which is next door to Carla's

What named did Gary's kid call Rita when he was buying the sweets? I rewound about 6 times and it is annoying me now. 😒

Really random Dolly Parton reference in today's episode. Odd timing

They've referenced Dolly for the last couple of weeks. Probably an intro to Bernie's aunt and her Dolly themed funeral plans.

Celeste being obsessed with a Dolly-style sendoff is going to be a bit awkward if they don't pop in a reference now, no way is a character that's set up to be a Dolly fan not going to mention that her idol has predeceased her!
