Yes, although in her defence she is married to Jude...…



If the police have those two phones used to send Sally's sex "texts" in their possession, surely they can check them for her fingerprints which of course won't be on them.

[BMR]

They can surely even pinpoint roughly where they are when texts were sent.

Weatherfield police are not the best detectives. Duncan has stitched them right up. Not a patch on Phelan though.

The prosecution haven't really got much of a case, but this is soap-land. The trial will be interesting if the defence brings in an IT expert for testimony.

How come the bike leaning against the railings outside the cop-shop hasn't been stolen? No visible lock and chain.

Sean has been away from the Rovers for a while. Who's been making the hotpot? Wasn't Sean the only person who knew the recipe?

Future liaisons - Imran and Alya. Toyah and Jude. Cross my palm with silver..........

^ Toyah and Imran? What was the thingy in the Doctors all about ?? Lovers tiff.

Amazing that Johnny moved in to the Rovers, 5 minutes after buying it. Do soap writers not live in the real world !!!

Well we do get lots of ... (example)

"Right, I'm leaving. I'm going to live in <insert foreign land here> with my friend/sister/mother/delete as applicable."

"Oh no, when?"

"Today! The cab is on it's way." ... a few minutes later "... the airport please"

Agreed. Toyah and Imran will get together.

Also Carla is getting the money from Peter.

How much was the council’s grant to Duncan’s ‘charity’? Was it £15k? Seems a lot of work and risk for £15k. Why didn’t he just get a job?

Funds from the pub which went from for sale/under offer/sold/contracts exchanged within 24 hours I presume?

Well at the risk of being regionalist I’d say it’s cos he’s a northerner......

(In case any snowflakes are offended I apologise in advance for that remark, and am a northerner myself, and I know many more, blah blah blah!)

[nicanary]

Mary, surely one of the greatest soap characters of all time?

"My first relationship was with a carpenter from Sorrento.........." . As you do. Beat that, Eastenders.

[Wacky Racer]

Tim fell right into Duncan's trap there


So Peter offered to invest in the knicker factory, without knowing how much was involved.

£1000? £50,000? £100,000, £500,000? Bonkers.

I know it's only a soap, but does a ten year old write these scripts?

She has some great lines and she delivers them so well.

[Wacky Racer]

Peter's not wasted much time getting the first instalment of his investment back....

I have done the legals on a couple of business transfers and ..err..it took me more than 2 days and what looked like a 2 page agreement . 2 pages ! TUPE, lease/ freehold transfer, work in progress , general due diligence, stock value, IT transfer etc - not as easy as on planet soap. Mind you , a script about TUPE would not spike the viewing figures to new heights ...
