Wow, Ian is such a drip 😂

[@H3len50]

I don't get the cheating storyline with Gail and Ian, it just seems so out of character for her and a bit forced.

[@elterrifico9522]

It seemed to come out of nowhere

[@bsaunders5271]

Agreed. Plus it's gross, them two.

And her overbearingness with her kids ,,, she could have made m8re of her life and not all kids 24 7, then they wouldn't have grown apart

[@startracker5895]

Brian was away so Gail was lonely. I blame the actor who played Brian. He always wanted time off the show so in the end they killed him off because they were fed up of him!

[@philstrachan]

Absolutely bizarre storyline!

So many of the Corrie ladies had lovely heads of hair back then. Sincerest thanks for the uploads.

I love the way Kevin, Curley and Terry treat Hilda, look after her, the odd time Kevin raises his voice, but they seem to sort it out. Once Hilda leaves Coronation Street, I might move on to watching something else.

[@bsaunders5271]

Despite Brian's dullness, I still don't see why Gail would choose IAN as a replacement, he's awful.

[@AriAdu]

Ian gave her the D 😅

[@shylinh5939]

Brian is so criticised, and lots of it is unfair. He's married to Gail, and is the son of Ivy, ffs. Give the guy a break!

[@irenemorley75]

Everyone is awful in your eyes looking at your endless nasty comments, mostly bitching about every woman on the programme.🙄

[@RichardSmith-cy1wp]

I agree, as dull as Brian might be, he’s still loyal, compassionate and steady. Also he was much better looking (imo) than Ian.

[@michelejohnson6459]

She's just as dull. Could have been a good match, but everyone is hot to trot!😅 Never understood how people find time to cheat. Laundry to be done, toilets to clean, dishes to load. Then it's off to work. Husband is vacuuming and mowing the lawn. 😢😂

Gail constantly whining and bitching about being an adult/mother/wife is so sickening. That she thinks it’s an excuse to have an affair with her husbands COUSIN is disgusting, selfish and childish. Grow up Gail. She is reminding me way too much of Suzie right now

They make it seem like Gloria is a contender for Miss World when all I see is a slightly better looking Jackie Corkhill! Sorry but considering her age and the amount of times she's swanned off with Skippy recently leaving Phyllis and Martin, I'd say it's Phyllis who needs the rest from the Cafe considering her age not Gail the slappa.

“If anyone’s to blame, it’s that Bet Lynch! For being stupid enough to ask you to do it in the first place!” Vera’s right, tbh. Jack’s a potman-not an electrician. Asking him to fix electrics is like Brian asking Mavis to repair a car!

[@saulgoodman5623]

I belive Bet even agreed with this after Jack confessed about it to her. Which is why she didn't sack him.
