Rita wasn't as ecstatic as you'd expect someone to be receiving £15k out of the blue.
I found it a tad unlikely that an insurance company would send a 5-figure sum by post without requesting signatures or even a "how would you like us to remit the sum" document.

Some good comedy again from the Tim/Steve combo. I'm sorry, but I can't warm to the Henry slapstick. Can't see Johnny's insurance company paying up without medical reports - another silly storyline.

PS Fans of Gemma would have liked her "look" last night. Not for me.

Don’t know the storyline here, but they really need to write him out. He makes the occasional appearance in a rubbish storyline then disappears back into the ether.

He's there only as the petulant teen turned "hoodie" because of the recent trend to social /society themes ruining Corrie over the last 2 years. Hoping he and others get phased out in time. Plus he looks like an escaped hobbit from Lord of the rings and his acting repertoire ends at scowling .

I've inadvertantly read a spoiler in my Sunday paper concerning a future storyline involving Simon and his dad. You've hit the nail on the head - it's all about modern Britain and its social problems. Bonkers. It's going to be right up there with tram crashes and Audrey's sex appeal.

(I know she was a handsome woman back in the day, but to be frank she now looks like a bag of bones covered in crocheted skin. In reality an old dog like Nigel Havers who has aged very nicely, thank you, wouldn't give her a second glance - he'd be chatting up 40-somethings.)

But surely a con man would be looking to get his feet under the table of an older woman who had her own house with no mortgage and plenty of other assets, then play the waiting game whilst making sure she drank a little too much and suffered plenty of stress!

Not that I’m working on anyone myself!

And she speaks so highly of your aquiline good looks as well... . Tell us , how would you want , and realistically expect, this near 75 year old to look?

Exactly as she does. My point is that Lewis is supposed to find her achingly attractive, to the point where he's prepared to accept scorn and ridicule from residents in the street, in order to satisfy his enduring love. That is, of course, if we assume he's not up to something nefarious.

Of course, as I've said before, a leopard never changes it's spots. He's up to something.

I'll throw a curve ball in. Could Claudia be working alongside him, a kind of corrie Bonnie & Clyde.? There's something about her I don't trust..scratchchin

The storyline of the heir to a brewery fortune down on his luck doing a paper round for £4.50 with a sack over his shoulders was farcical even for Corrie. biggrin

I think that Claudia is pulling a scam with Maria and the new hairdresser’s.

Fully agree. If he's genuinley after her it's incredulous, if he's taking her for a ride yet again then equally so.

Nice one Ches.

Glad to see the back of that storyline - unless the writers have more planned for us.

The kidnap at the end was pure Carry On.
