I am led to believe that Lisa’s egg was implanted into Becky, so in effect she is the biological daughter of both of them. Nothing said about the father.

Yes, Betsy is the biological daughter of Lisa; she is not Becky’s biological daughter but Becky is Betsy’s legal Mother because she gave birth to her.
Lisa was the “egg donor” and Becky was the “gestational carrier” , so they were both invested in bringing her into the world.
The way things are going, I’m wondering if Betsy and Becky will end up leaving the Street - and maybe Lisa too - the other possibility I’ve been pondering is whether Betsy and Lisa stay in the Street and the sperm donor (Betsy’s biological Father) may turn up???
I don’t think we’ve had one of those stories about “anonymous sperm donors” turning up or being found in Corrie yet and it is something that is happening more often in real life nowadays.
That Becky seems a real piece of work and so does Costello - there’s bound to be some nail-biting scenes involving them somewhere along the line and maybe the policeman Kit, who seems to be taking an interest?

What! The mob! What has become of my beloved old Corrie … gaslighting, sperm donors, love triangles and abuse … it all sounds so stressful to watch.
I thought Phelan of many years back was bad enough and that Bradley bloke who got run over by a tram at Blackpool …
Corrie used to be the humorous one and it was Eastenders that was the depressing darker side of life.

Well, George often provides a bit of light relief - although, he is the Undertaker!

They have an undertaker? Now that sounds full of possibilites.

How long ago did you last watch Corrie, Morty?
Do you remember Archie Shuttleworth, the Undertaker who paid court to Blanche Hunt (Deidre Barlow’s Mother) and to Audrey Roberts, over 20 years go?
George Shuttleworth is Archie’s son and he inherited his Undertaker’s business.
When he first came in, George provided the kind of light relief that Fred Elliott used to provide, I say, I say, tha remembers Fred Elliott?!
George has been a bit more serious since Eileen Grimshaw left him - she went on Celebrity Jungle then went back to Corrie looking like a different person after a big life change ( or a big cosmetic “makeover” ) - then she left the Street to visit her other son Jason in Thailand to help him run a bar there - I think someone should “text her” and let her know that her son Todd is in big trouble - I’m sure Eileen would soon sort the abusive controller Theo out if she came back and saw what he was doing to her Todd!
(Note to self : am I becoming too invested in the lives of the Coronation Street characters? )

Now this sounds more like it! I can’t remember the undertaker but I CAN remember Eileen Grimshaw and Fred Elliott.
You know one day I may just have to have a peep at it and see what it’s like.
Would you believe it I can remember yonks ago I used to dash through my jobs, get the dishes washed so I could put my feet up with a cuppa to watch it … when it was totally unmissable.

I’ve just watched that bit where Theo smashes Todd’s face into the mirror on Youtube!
This is a far cry from Hilda nagging Stan and Vera moaning at Jack. It’s a bit heavy isn’t it.
Oh, the chap playing Theo is a good intense scary actor but Todd wasn’t so good … a bit wooden. He must just be scared.

Just a day in the life of a typical Mancunian street Morty… 
Just ask Dex…
Yes, George works with ‘Stiffs’ Morty…Just like Mrs Fox…
Before anyone gets hot under the collar…Mrs Fox spent most of her life working in nursing homes and was no stranger to dead bodies…
It’s the words … ‘stiffs’ … Foxy!

Lots happening in the street just lately, and two things have made me think…
When I finally shake off this mortal coil, I would like George Shuttleworth to take care of the funeral arrangements…Such a caring and compassionate bloke… 
And Two…If Kit ever starred in a detective series I would certainly watch it…He makes a brilliant detective…Which is more than can said for the love struck Lisa. Everything that has happened to her by the despicable Becky should have been sussed months ago…Lisa’s supposed to be a detective sergeant for God’s sake… 
I haven’t watched in a few years, is Ena Sharples still on it?
I have not watched that show for decades.
If I remember rightly Enid died decades ago
As did the lady who played her
I’m willing to bet Annie Walker, Albert Tatlow, Mrs Nugent et al have shuffled off this mortal coil. However Ken Barlow will be doing his thing up to judgement day.

I only watch Emmerdale but see Coronation Street because other family members watch it.
With the recent week of Corriedale there has been a crossover of certain characters.
Why was Shona’s sister, Jodie, tied up in Graham from Emmerdale’s van?
We don’t know that yet, and hope it gets explained at some point.
I only watch Coronation Street Helen, and I haven’t got a clue but she seems like a wrong un’ and anyone who who has an affair with with Carl is going to end up with egg on their face.
In other Corrie news…Is that a different Sam?
And are they ever going to find out Carl was driving when he ran over Tyrone?
The video clip from the CCTV was on the laptop that Carl dropped on the floor and broke, doesn’t anybody know that the information on the laptop can be recovered…Even though the laptop is destroyed.

Jude Riordan, who plays Sam, has grown and thinned out a bit. He has confused everyone. I wonder if he was doing exams in his absence, as he seems to have been away quite awhile.
Had to laugh, at Carl and Theo trying to blackmail each other. I knew Carl had something to do with the robbery. Guessed it when I saw in the early tv guide, that he shows up to save the day. Very predictable.

At first I thought it was a different Sam, but his voice and mannerisms gave it away Jazzi.
I thought he looked better before, being a bit podgy with his owl face specs on.
He looks like a frightened rabbit caught in the headlights now…
I think he might come clean to Leanne about the affair with Megan and that kid from the pub with attitude.
I think Carl wanted to get his hands on that £3000 that Debbie wanted to give George towards Billy’s funeral and make it look like a robbery.
And I’m surprised at Theo having a conscience.
I expected a CCTV in the chapel of rest capturing him apologising to Billy.
It had to be Carl that came into the undertakers didn’t it…
Two scallies together if you ask me.
