Hasn’t Spider been back since? Wasn’t he an undercover cop giving Toyah a good squeeze?
Mind you, I would quite like to give Toyah a good squeeze myself…

That rings a bell. He left his aunty in Peru and returned as an undercover cop, previously an eco-warrior!
Good old Spider.

Spider never became a cop did he ,?? … drug taker and layabout and climbing trees to protest against the establishment.
Well well well.
I remember he took Toyah along on one demonstration which involved hanging about in trees.
@OldGreyFox … you’d have had Les Battersby after you if you did manage a good squeeze.

Perhaps I’ll leave Toyah alone Morty after Les Battersby (actor Bruce Jones) became a professional wrestler in 2024 at the age of 71.
So your child approaches you and tells you there is a gun in the house owned by the lodger…What is your first reaction? Where is the gun? Show me…Apparently not, doubt the daughter and do a half arse search of the kitchen and give the lodger time to move the gun and replace it with a look alike.
So Shona’s sister has almost killed Sarah, concealed a gun on the premises, hidden a box of incriminating items that nobody could find in their own home except a daughter who nobody believes (no stone remains unturned in our house when Mrs Fox has a cleaning frenzy)
And the gullible David and Shona believe every made up story that Jodie can dream up…

I’m not sure if Corrie’s producers know what to do with the Jodie storyline - they seem to make it up as they go along.
‘Jodie’s’ been hanging around for far too long - i want ‘closure’!

Me too. Like she is run out of town or decides to leave of her own volition.
Had to giggle at the young lads made to act/look like gangsters, complete with a neck chain. 
. Still, the thought of a gun did move them on.

Is that the latest episode? Haven’t watched it yet - i record all of them and maybe watch a couple at a time. Or fast forward the bits i don’t like!

Anise, it might have been a few days ago because I’d recorded some too. Tuesday’s, maybe?

Jodie really is a piece of work isn’t she. How many times does David have to chuck her out… 
Steve, what a wus…
Everyone seems to be connected on corrie, and relatives are coming out of the woodwork…
Haven’t we just had all this with Maggie and Jim from the pub and now Tyrone and his dad…

Yes, OGF, as I was watching last night I couldn’t help wondering who will be next to suddenly remember a sibling/ex partner.
And flipping to Emmerdale, what about Joe turning on his uncle? I mean, who does that?

Every now and then I wonder whether to start watching the soaps again, after a break of 2 decades
And then I read this thread.
And realise the storylines would frazzle my brain.

Mrs Fox has been watching the classic series of Coronation Street and sometimes I sit in on an episode (I hate watching telly in the daytime unless I’m sick or it’s raining) they are a breath of fresh air and have some feel good stories. You might like to start with those Morty.
Not if “Bobs your uncle” 
Just when I started to like Ross he turned into a bad guy, everyone on the street turns out to have a skeleton in the cupboard or are just devious.
In my day they were loveable conmen and rogues like Mike Baldwin … now they seem to be psychos.
I wonder how many viewers become traumatised watching the epsiodes… and to think they stopped showing Tom & Jerry cartoons because of violence.
