went away to london to do football training / academy with Shona ... because Shona IRL was having a baby ...

Lennox Gilbey · 19-12-2023 1:24am

Shona went with her, it was the actresses actor's or whatever out as she had a baby in real life.

David gets fantastic lines, I really enjoyed the quips from him.

DT2016 · 19-12-2023 5:23am

So daisy gives Carla back her 100K and keeps stephans 147K to buy half the pub with Jenny? or will she keep the entire 247K for herself?

littlevillage · 19-12-2023 11:01am

The money isn't just magically sitting on the laptop. Its presumably in some kind of online account where you would hope there is more security than just "Tofino"? and they will require some two step verification before allowing a draw down of the loot. Eg. A code texted to a phone number.

PS. In 2023 a password needs to be at least 8 characters long and have both numeric and alphanumeric characters. "Tofino" would be rejected straight away. No problem for Twilight Zone Corrie though.

bcklschaps · 19-12-2023 11:13am

Pity they didn't have a Forest Gump moment where Daisy is sitting on the bench and Audrey violently slam dunks the Journal into the bin from 20 yards, sending pages flying all sides.... and a single page floats gently onto Daisy's lap titled "Passwords"

Would have been more believable than her working it out from a postcard.

threetrees · 19-12-2023 7:40pm

Tim and Peter on the hot tub. Strangely good scenes.

So weird

spurious · 20-12-2023 6:55pm

Angry Daniel is very creepy.

Run, Daisy, run!

Andy From Sligo · 20-12-2023 9:04pm

here, that Stephen's ex-wife the american(canadian?) one has fallen off the edge of world hasnt she - where was she for Stephen's funeral , and is she not a partner in that dodgy 'seagul enterprises' thing?

Andy From Sligo · 20-12-2023 10:12pm

so, Have they forgotten about the time they were behind the bar when Jenny & daisy run the Rovers and it was dead as a doornail and they also went out into the Ginnals and found that lot drinking in the back gardens and them moaning how dead it was in the pub, so what makes them sure they can make a profit this time?

also if they 'pay every penny back' to Carla she is going to know what they were up to and fuming that they did not give the money back to her straight away, and I can hear essence of "so you bought your pub with money stolen from my account!"

prunudo · 20-12-2023 10:14pm

As sure as night follows days, the decision to not come clean with Carla, will lead to trouble for Jenny and Daisy in the future

Daniel always been creepy it’s just been forgotten pushing Ken down the stairs and the whole Bethany / Sinead thing

JP Liz V1 · 21-12-2023 12:42pm

Is that it for Ryan?

Lennox Gilbey · 21-12-2023 1:17pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121520887#Comment_121520887

And he was obsessed with Nicky the sex worker and stole money from jiggle it Geoff to give to her. I think he thought that Geoff might have been with her in the past.

I hope not :(

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 22-12-2023 12:22am

I reckon they just wanted Ryan out of the way for a bit while Daniel and Daisy play out the death throws of their relationship. I assume Daisy and Ryan will get together eventually but it wouldn't look great if they just got together now because Daniel dumped her.

JP Liz V1 · 22-12-2023 2:30am

I much prefer Alya and Ryan

Daisy is a nasty piece of work, always has been

Andy From Sligo · 22-12-2023 11:26pm

what has Carla bought himself then do we reckon? - a trip around the world on a yacht? or something like that?

JP Liz V1 · 22-12-2023 11:42pm

I have zero interest in the Baileys storylines

Lily seems to be trying into Faye and could be taller than David 😄

haha - that will bring back his meaning in life 😄

jaffa20 · 23-12-2023 2:15am

Corrie has not been great recently at all. Where is Alina? Or course she can't return without Fizz either. Just so many storylines they could make more interesting.

DT2016 · 23-12-2023 3:30am

Daisy and Jenny ain’t gonna last you can see Daisy when Jenny said no one takes my pub and her face not looking impressed.

littlevillage · 23-12-2023 4:17am

Dup

spurious · 23-12-2023 11:07am

Surely even Weatherfield plod would be sniffing around Jenny, with a connection to Stephen suddenly being easily able to buy the Rovers?

Not to mention sudden large bank transfers attracting the interest of money laundering sections and Revenue.

Immortal Starlight · 23-12-2023 2:39pm

The scene in the shop with Daisy and Jenny telling the two biggest gossipers about trying to buy the pub back was ridiculous. Then later Jenny was shocked that Carla had heard about it was also ridiculous. I’d love if Gemma and “The Quads” could go on a lovely long holiday. The situation with shuffling them around constantly is stupid.

jippo nolan · 23-12-2023 5:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121529419#Comment_121529419

Please make it a permanent holiday!

Oh definitely that would be even better because then they’d probably take gormless grumpy Chesney away with them too😀

Barbie2k23 · 23-12-2023 8:41pm

How come Corrie or Emmerdale ain’t on for an hour Xmas day

Probably know Eastenders are going to wipe the floor with them rating wise and just aren't bothering.

Disgrace we aren’t getting hour long episodes first time in 29 year this has happened. We are getting extra episodes during the week but still.

threetrees · 24-12-2023 1:52pm

Jenny sold the pub as it was making losses. She got a wad of money for that. Now she's buying it back with stolen money - how much of the original cash has she left?

Why would she buy a loss making pub? Because it's in her blood? Eh no. She's only in the pub 6 years or so, I don't count that as "in the blood".

I would absolutely love a reintroduction of Vicki the posh granddaughter of Alec Gilroy, she married Steve McDonald as a teenager, or at least very young.

She'd be ideal to come back as a rich lady, who buys the pub and sends a few ripples down the street.

Scriptwriters are you listening?

littlevillage · 24-12-2023 3:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121532909#Comment_121532909

Actually yes. Have the scriptwriters forgotten that Jenny sold the pub about 2-3 months ago because it was loss making, now she is buying it back presumably at a higher price than she sold it for... or is it Daisy who is buying the pub and just hiring Jenny to help her run it? (because Jenny did such a great job originally).

The real reason of course is both Jenny and Daisy have no reason to be hanging around Coronation street if they don't have the pub. Jenny is unemployed and renting a room off (?) and Daisy is unemployed and crashing with Jenny in the house share after getting booted out by Daniel.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 24-12-2023 3:43pm

They don't own pubs in the UK. If she bought anything it's the lease, which doesn't cost that much, and she wouldn't have gotten that much in return for it. The breweries own the pubs, and the buildings. If she's needing a mortgage size amount of money to buy it now it's probably a case of the brewery selling the freehold, which would mean Jenny would then own the while building.

(I've only been half paying attention to Corrie lately so I could be completely wrong on that)

littlevillage · 24-12-2023 3:54pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121533247#Comment_121533247

Its actually hard to know what the exact situation is because they haven't really explained what Jenny was selling and how much she got.... but your explanation actually does sound about right.

Of course, its still nuts to sell a loss making lease hold to then go back and buy the actual pub.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 24-12-2023 6:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121533284#Comment_121533284

No, it doesn't make sense from Jenny's POV. At least when she was just running it she wasn't financially at risk if it failed. No idea why she thinks she'd be able to make enough money out of it now. Although, she's not exactly planning on paying for it out of her own pocket, I suppose, but even then she'd be solely responsible for all the running costs and what not.

I get that they like to shake things up every now and then with the pub but I don't know why they shut it down just to have the same people end up back in it. Maybe they needed the space on the stages for other sets or something. Who knows.

Shakyfan · 24-12-2023 6:31pm

Was it not sold by Newton and Ridley and sold to a buyer who were going to make the staff reapply for their own jobs?

Andy From Sligo · 24-12-2023 7:13pm

they - (the new owners) were going to flatten it and make flats . Jenny sentiments got in the way of that one - maybe sentiments over profit . But its a silly storyline, shut down the pub then open it up again with the same ones running the pub.

CollyFlower · 25-12-2023 12:35am

Must be getting their storylines from Fair City...😕

freshpopcorn · 25-12-2023 11:05pm

This character is exiting in Summer 2024.

Alex Bain who plays Simon Barlow.

Serious case of small man syndrome from his character lately.

JP Liz V1 · 26-12-2023 3:03am

Is the footballer Tommy staying permanently

Best part was Todd, love him

Hope so

Andy From Sligo · 26-12-2023 1:13pm

They should write it that Tommy O has an affair with Tracy Barlow haha

freshpopcorn · 26-12-2023 1:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121536935#Comment_121536935

There was certainly chemistry between the pair last night.

I wonder what will they do with him?

Andy From Sligo · 26-12-2023 4:52pm

Knowing how goofey Steve acts in the soap she would most probably say "Steve babe I have been unfaithful" and then him in his carry on voice will go "ok who is he I am gonna punch his lights out!!" - and then she says " its with Tommy" and then he says "Tommy who" then she says "Tommy O , he is a footballer" and then he goes "THE Tommy O ?" - then she says "yes, steve please dont be angry" and then he goes "you should have said it was Tommy O - he is a legend , you can have his babies if you want .... can you get me his autograph and a VIP ticket for me and Tim?"
