Riddle me this please? How does Weather fields own personal copper Craig get away with having a relationship with Faye, Wethersfield wannabe serial felon? It's as daft as vicar Harriet in emmerdale just walking back into the police force after spending the last five or more years being a vicar! Make it make sense.

It's not against the rules. There are plenty of examples out there of Police officer's who have family member that are criminals. If your brother/daughter whatever gets convicted of something it doesn't mean you can't have a relationship with them.

When you go through the procedure of wanting to become a police officer they do a background check on your family members, not sure how far into your family they check up on e.g. your cousin’s cousin etc. I expect if you do have an immediate member of the family who has a criminal record this would hamper your chances of becoming an officer from the outset

However I don’t know what happens if a member of your family or partner becomes a criminal after you’ve already joined the force
 
The old man who Faye ran over was symbolic of everything that is wrong with Coronation Street:- Clichéd, banal, poorly written, shoddy attempts at being humorous and downright irritating. I only kept it on because it was too cold to get up and change the channel.

Yes you have to give details of all your immediate family (Mum, Dad, siblings and parents partners if separated/divorced) plus your own partner. You also have to disclose if you’re aware of any of those having criminal convictions and also if you have any friends/acquaintances with convictions. If they did, it might not necessarily stop you from joining the police, depends on the circumstances. You’d more than likely have further questions asked about it though.

It’s all to do with corruption. If your partner/family member gets convicted of something whilst you’re in the force, you’d probably face a lot of questions around it but you’d not be dismissed. Unless of course you’re involved 😂

I completely disregard anything when it comes to storylines that involve the police in soaps. It’s all utter nonsense! (Not that I take the rest of it seriously of course) Craig in Corrie, Jack in Eastenders and Harriet in Emmerdale proper make me hard eye roll. Just wouldn’t happen.

Craig is a real jobsworth though. He'd be nightmare to live by. Take a day off Craig :LOL:
 
What about Emma? I’m not into her Character at all. She’s so unrealistic and then Faye seems to be really unhinged! Who the eff leaves a dead man alone and cleans up around him? 😳 I’m sorry but Corrie really need to wrap this storyline up and quick. It’s so disrespectful and makes me feel all wrong for watching it.

I heard her interviewed yesterday about an eating disorder she got from about age 7. I think it was the show on BBC London from 2 pm. Jumoke Fashola was the presenter.

I’ve searched the whole of the internet and neither actress has said they have an eating disorder. Are you sure it’s not someone else?

I think she considers herself cured.

Ok, I made a mistake. I think it was Gemma Oaten, not Alexandra. I heard the presenter was in Corrie and it sounded like her. My bad.

I’m not buying Craig & Faye’s relationship. When he asked her about living together I was expecting her to say no but she surprised me by saying yes and seeming quite enthusiastic about it

The two of them have no chemistry whatsoever

It’s so weird ! They’re like brother and sister

Sorry if this has been discussed but what’s going on with Debbie from
Shameless (sorry can’t see her as anyone else ) and Adam ? Pretty obvious they will end up sharing a son but there must be more to it becuase that’s way to obvious .
Also please can Sarah have a word and get him to go back to his old hairstyle as I much preferred it .I actually had a dream about Adam last night and I’m usually more of a Peter B fan but I think I may prefer Adam now.I mean the dream involved a funeral and he asked me for a hug (bizzare!)but I’ll take it .

I don't get the Peter thing, but I've seen him in real life, in the old grapes (the pub Liz Dawn used to own) and he's short.
There was a spoiler about Lydia/Debbie. I'm struggling not to call her Debbie all the time, it took me ages to get used to Abi and Zeedan.
