She needed telling.

Ken and Steve - this could be fun.

They both did 

daft Audrey.there goes her bank account etc...

But if that is true, at least she will get enjoyment out of it, rather than Gail and her offspring 

  That made me LOL.  But how the heck does she keep getting away with stuff?  I feel like she shits all over everyone and continually stomps through life scot-free, not working, offloading her kids and using people when it suits.

OK you guys.................. so we ALL think Lewis is up to summat right?  But if so, why did he go to the cops and allow himself to be charged and all that?   It doesn't add up.  But I still think he is up to summat.

Well "Lewis" I suspect is not going to be long term cast member,so cue him  diddling Audrey etc....Oh matron! But if she enjoys herself meantime....

true enough ,hamster chops Gail ,her brat of a son who did try to kill her,rememer!and his asbo wife...well good luck to Audrey.I'd feckin 'spend it all too.

  Awwww, are we gonna feel sorry for her, or say what a silly old moo she is, like those silly middle aged women who give everything they have got to a Turkish or Moroccan man who claims to LURRRVE them after 5 minutes together!

BTW, can she MAKE David sign the salon back to her?  I wouldn't have thought so.

I think Audrey is passed middle Age Sparkles..........let the round the world cruise begin I say 

Well if us wimmin' live to 140 etc then Audrey is "middle aged!"

 Cruzin takes it out of ya tho, might get a bit bored by 140 

Oh no, I didn't say AUDREY was middle aged   I know she is about 70... I just meant, should we feel sorry for her for making a fool of herself by believing a conman, like those middle aged women (who are usually 40 to 50) that you hear about, who give everything to a man they hardly know who is usually half their age, and a foreigner ...

Then again, I am 47, so I think considering 70 as middle age, is OK with me.  

I'm lovin' Corrie as always and forever We go straight from murder mystery into the mystery of will Lewis con Audrey again. Personally I hope not, I love his character as a charmer and want to believe he really loves her, I'm sure he does now but it's up to the scriptwriters as to how long it lasts lol. Loving the family feud over the whole scenario. Corrie's the best

Ditto Sparkles we should know better etc,but  a little fun is Ok...

   should be!

^^^ this... all of it.    I think Lewis is genuine.... for now anyway.      sparkles  - I don't think she can make him sign it back, but now they have to weigh up what else they stand to lose if they don't give it back in the meantime.   I loves corrie, I do.

Apparently one can't con an honest person. Mebbees Lewis is involved in a long con? Who knows? But it seems Aur-dreh is in charge of the financial aspects of the trip. One has to imagine how the cash could be transferred from her handbag into Lewis' arse pocket.

Me too!

I hope Audrey gets her cruise with Lewis, even although i think he is going to con her, somehow. Surely she wont give him the money to pay for it  Although i would rather see Lewis get her money than that awful family of hers!

I know... I don't think ANY of them deserve it!

I want Lewis to be genuine and Audrey to have a happy time with him - and blow all her money on herself and Lewis, so there is nothing left for Gail and David to inherit.

Me too, its her money to spend as she wants to. Gail should back off 

Ooh I so agree! I was shouting at the TV when Gail was interfering!

I agree wholeheartedly about Gail just assuming that the inheritance should belong to her.  That seems to be a common story when old-ish parents (say 55 and over) have money or property.  I personally know a number of people (under 45) who can't WAIT for their uncle to die (he is 70,) so that they can get first dibs on the will, and every one of about 12 people sucks up to him constantly in a hope of getting a sniff of something in the will.  

 

He has a company that he started in the 70s which is worth a lot of money.  He has one daughter and she had a HOUSE bought for her and her husband when they got married 20 years ago, and each one of her 5 sons has had a BRAND new car for their 18th birthday.  He also paid for each one of them to go to uni.  And that is just the tip of the iceberg... Villa in Spain and one in Sydney, 5 trips abroad every year, a yacht, a bentley: he is rolling in it.  though he has earned it.  I have no idea why all the extended family suck up though (and half of them work for him) because I reckon the LOT will go to his daughter and 5 grandsons anyway.

 

On that programme 'you can't take it with you,' the adult children on there were absolutely DREADFUL. The programme was about 2 solicitors who helped 'squabbling and feuding' families sort out the issues with the parents will(s)  Upshot was, the adult children wanted to make sure they got their share, and that another sibling who didn't 'deserve' the inheritance as much as them, didn't get as much, and they caused SO much stress for the parents.  Even the solicitors were shaking their heads.  These adult children often didn't deserve ANYthing, and just assumed they would get it as they were the offspring.  JUST LIKE GAIL!

 

This puts me on mind of an old friend of mine, who hit 55, and her and her husband had been married 35 years and worked for nearly 40: (even through having a son and daughter.)  They had had a business of their own (a big store I think,) and sold it for about £200K.  They chose to take £50K for the two kids (25K each obviously,) and £15K each, for each of their 2 grandkids,)  The girl had 2 kids, and the boy - 33 by then, had none and said he was never having any.  THEN she and her husband were going to spend the other £120K on travelling the world for a couple of years; possibly 3, and they were set on visiting all 7 continents.

 

Well, the furore that this caused was unprecedented!  Their daughter called them selfish, horrible people who were squandering their kids' inheritance, and the grandkids inheritance (bear in mind they had a house worth £120K that the kids would have too!)  And the daughter also said 'who the hell is going to help me look after Abbie and Josh for the 2 or 3 years you are galavanting about the planet?!'  Their son was a pain too; and proper kicked off about his sister's kids getting £15K each, as he didn't HAVE kids, so it wasn't fair!

 

The emotional blackmail and passive aggressive stance the daughter took, and the son too, made them cancel the whole thing!!!  I remember saying to my family - who knew them as well - "what the HELL!  I would NEVER have done this: gone and cancelled for some spoilt little bitch like this!"  In fact, I would have changed the will, so all the money from my house went to charity and they didn't get a penny!  We lost touch when we left the area.  But I would bet that this woman is still pandering to her spoilt daughter!

 

A lotta typing.

 

Len Fairclough was robbed.

LOL, hamster chops Gail!  

 

Also hate it how people assume they have a automatic entitlement to their parents money when they havent earned it,  But maybe the parents are to blame by spoiling them.  I mean the uncle who bought his daughter a HOUSE for a wedding present FFS.  And paid her 5 kids through uni.  How can you ever have any appreciation of the worth of money and how hard it is to come by, if shitloads of money like this is given to you?

All the family saw Audrey have a "turn" the other day. Only Gail knows that at a recent check up at the docs that Audrey has high blood pressure. So how come if she loves her Mum she didn't think the other night that the stress they're all piling up on her led to her showing signs of the physical stress she's under. I love that Audrey won't be bullied by what they're all saying about Lewis and her money. At least Nick is taking the middle ground

I only just started watching Corrie recently, was always more towards EE but  I watched the first episode where that bloke at the factory was alive and plotting to scam that other woman... Was hooked after just one episode, there seems to be a huge cast. Not always the same families and stories so i watched all the episodes that were available on itv player so caught up... Still learning the names of some of the characters. Glad ken finally told that girl to get a grip... She comes across as a right pain in the arse. Deirdre just seems hilarious.

Mincey!   Welcome to the wonderful world of Corrie.. you've got a bit more catching up to do... it started in 1960.  

 

YR - I'm starting to wonder if there's something nasty in store for Audrey healthwise?   Maybe that's what will bring Gail and David around/

I've only been away for five days ... and I've clearly missed a lot.

Wow, that's fascinating that someone has never seen Corrie.    I guess there are plenty out there.  I started watching it in about 1975 when I was 10.  I remember the days of Annie Walker, Bet Lynch, Stan and Hilda, Eddie yeates, Elsie Tanner, Awww, those were the days... A simpler time

My mother-in-law has never seen an episode, Sparkles ... she doesn't know what she's missed

My brother is the same Rexi.. I am gobsmacked when people say they have never seen it.  To me, it's like someone saying that they have never heard of the Royal family.  

I was wondering that too Kaffy. If so Gail and David will realise her health is more important than worrying about money. Great script again tonight

 

Yes, welcome to Corrie world Mince

It's a bit, "after the lord mayors show!" ATM!

Can't say I had ever seen just one episode when growing up... the whole family would sit and watch it and I would walk past without taking a glimpse I suppose i'd likely miss it as I always had football or rugby on the other channel at the same time, I only ever caught up on EE on bbc iplayer. My old man used to say to my brothers that my mum was "Having a Deidre"... I now understand what he was on about.

 

 

That Tracey seems a right pain in the arse, never mind the other woman... none of them seemed to be interested where the mother was whilst her daughter was wandering off outside on her own
