^ I didn't like Roy's Mum at first, didn't like the way she spoke to Roy, but she's mellowing a bit now and I'm finding I like her a bit more. Hayley is leaving Corrie, so Roy and Hayley will be no more soon !
You never see the dogs much in Corrie. Maria has a black lab, but how often do you see him in that pokey flat of hers ?! Eccles appears every now and again when a walk is in the offing, but would Deirdre have really walked him in the dark on the red rec when it looked so isolated. It doesn't go dark till about 10.45 now, so that was well risky!
I suppose the Corrie writers are at a loss what to do with Deirdre (and Sally) as Ken and Kevin (if back at all) won't be around for many months yet, must be a scriptwriters nightmare !
I agree about Rita, she needed to make her mind up one way or the other !
As regards the money, she looks upon Tina as the daughter (or granddaughter she never had.
I still love Corrie though .......
