Corrie Canoe Storyline?

[NoMercy]

Does anybody know if Gail and Joe are set to be involved in a storyline based on the insurance scam carried out by real life couple, John and Anne Darwin? I saw a trailer the other night at the NTV awards which seemed to suggest that just such a storyline was imminent....

[lardhelmet]

I thought Joe was just going to flop her overboard when they set sail in Gail Force or whatever their tatty boat's called and then claim the insurance money

[atsgran]

Think Joe is going overboard not Gail

[lardhelmet]

What a shame - I'd love to see the back of the Aging Hamster

[NoMercy]

The impression I got from the trailer is that he is going to mysteriously vanish and she is left behind to answer questions from the police, etc. But, unbeknown to her, he gets clonked on the head and falls into the icy water. She gets home and wonders why he hasn't been in contact. All very gripping stuff.

[lardhelmet]

Thanks for that NoMercy. Then in 7 years time she'll spy him over the frozen peas in Sainsburys and they'll fall in love with him all over again - cos she won't remember where she's seen him before

Not sure if it's going to be a canoe type insurance scam, but I did see a writer or director on a programme the other day and she did give away some spoilers, in that Gail and Joe will revisit their honeymoon cottage in the Lake District on Valentine's day but that she will return to the cobbles alone. She will be arrested for his murder and end up sharing a cell with Tracy Barlow. Joe has already been seen forging Gail's signature and applying for insurance, but surely he would need to get Gail on side in order to benefit from the insurance money.

What a cruel remark, lardhelmet. Helen Worth looks brilliant for a fifty-nine year old. She has beautiful hair and a lovely complection. Did you look as good when you were her age?

[lardhelmet]

Been to Specsavers recently Simon?

[NoMercy]

Beautiful hair...?

When she shakes her head, she looks like a triffid blowing in the wind...

[lardhelmet]

I suspect it's a syrup. Nobody of that age has hair that big - except Barbara Windsor of course

[momcj]

Jules001 that could make sense because i have heard Tracey Barlow comes back in it! I think it is him that will do disappearing act! (i do hope he stays disappeared from our screens forever!) It would be ridiculous if they made another one of hamster face partners/husbands try and kill her! Sorry but them pair really irratate me. I have never liked him and she is always so pathetic with men!!

[DSJ]

I'm an optician, lardhelmet.

[lardhelmet]

How lovely for you DSJ - I'm underwhelmed. So, has Simon been to see u recently?

[lardhelmet]

You see Simon? momcj also called her hamsterface - not just me then?

[NoMercy]

She does look a bit beaver-ish...

[sara3]

is she 59? wow! I'm sure she's done something to her teeth recently.

I'm also pretty sure I'll still have big hair when I'm her age.

it's a long way off though!

'she looks like a triffid blowing in the wind.' PSML!
I can't stand the look of that 'neckless wonder!'

[lankeela]

With those polo necks she wears she looks like one of those little plastic people from Cluedo - it was Gail Platt in the Rovers with a broken bottle.
