    I thought that was very uncharacteristic of Simon. He is very empathic towards his mum and family but showed no signs of empathy here.

    He went from saying I can't do that in one scene to really getting into it and terrorising the young fella in the next.

    Maybe his (sort of) half brother dying and seeing what it did to his mum and his dad being at deaths door was the final straw after all the other grief in his life (his mum dying, his dads alcoholism, Peter and Leannes split, his babysitter dying and his dad accused of killer etc) I'm amazed he didnt go off the rails years ago..

    I remember Mike’s last line

    “She loves me Barlow” and Ken laughs “you always have to get the last word”

    A legend a true actor

    Always loved the way he used to breeze into The Cabin and ask Rita for “a packet of my cigars” Brilliant larger than life character that has always been missed from Coronation Street. May he Rest In Peace.

    Yes, and all the grief he used to get in the factory from Vera and the rest.
    But he gave it right back. :D

    I think it was Janice that was looking at her pay packet one day and said to Mike "I'm short".
    Mike's response "don't wear stripes so"

    Mike Baldwin had some great stories, he was a great character in Corrie. An old fashioned rogue, philanderer, cheeky geezer in a suit, with a cigar, scotch and someone else's wife on his arm.

    Loved his ongoing feud with Ken, Baldwin Vs Barlow. He had a jeans factory and it eventually became a knicker factory.

    RIP Johnny Briggs.

    Exactly, a great character with appropriate storylines. If he was introduced now they'd probably have him in a same sex relationship or a randomn teenage pregnancy story. So much better when the writing was character driven

    Being bullied in prison is like a rite of passage for so many residents of the street.

    Could you just imagine Simon if he had to do a stint inside?

    Silly of Simon to leave the bag on the counter where Nick left it right there looking at Leanne every time she goes into the kitchen, could he not have put it in his room?

    I really dislike drugs storylines. I'm fast forwarding the Simon story.

    Remind me why Garreh is in prison, is it for beating up Adam even though Fay said she did it?

    My main issue is Simon is like the worst drug dealer ever.
    I know now dealers often get young lads to do their dirty work but they normally have some bit of cope on and not just a little afro.

    I am confused also why Gary is still in prison, for hiding the weapon and covering for Faye?

    There’s no way aJohnny would left in prison in his condition, he’d be in a hospital type detention centre.

    Tim has been on Alya and Yasmeen's side for many months now and nothing has recently happened to indicate that he would not continue to look out for Yasmeen's interests, and yet Alya's first reaction upon learning Yasmeen was omitted from the will was to tantrum over to Tim's and throw things at him and the two of them banishing him at the doorstep and refusing to hear him out.

    Also what would have happened if Ray's money transfer had taken place, considering by that time Geoff was dead, wouldn't the sale of his estate be tied up in probate and whatnot?

    If anything i thought that scene with Leanne was Simons best acting ever...even tho he started the feather thing....Nick losing it over Sam, typical over protective blow-in parent....
    Did Garra not see the state of Johnny.?..must have got off the floor and went straight to see Jenny....
    Does Nina fancy Roy now....:eek:.....

    I think Nina is rethinking her relationship with Devs daughter.
