    "Whether your sympathies are with Abi, with Toyah or with Imran even tho we've made it blatantly obvious we very clearly want you all to sympathise and robustly cheer for Snoaty-Parker Abi and want you all to boo and hiss Imran thinking he's the sudden ebil Devil Incarnate of the picture, this is not a week to be missed."

    🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    Whatever! This storyline couldn't be anymore biasedly pro Snoaty-Parker Abi if they tried!

    You’d almost be forgiven for thinking Abi is the only character on this show given the amount of storylines and “big weeks” that revolve around her.

    Corrie always has "main characters" at some point - David, Becky, Carla, Phelan, Michelle ect

    I do hope Imran isn’t killed off. I want Corrie to leave the door open for Charlie De Melo so he can return to the show. Myself and Grols would be devastated if that didn’t happen :/

    Another car crash for bgt week, how original. You can already tell Imran will try and run off with the baby in some sort of chase resulting in a crash and his death.

    I thought they said the character would leave in the summer. So surely it’s too early

    Sally is such a talent she is TPTB puppet, Just a shame as good as she is Scabby is so unlikeable with ridiculous storylines.
    She has so many crimes under her belt it’s equally ridiculous Imran is the bad guy in all this

    Soooo Abi:
    Theft
    Criminal Damage
    Class A Drug Possession/Use
    Possession of a Deadly Weapon
    Obstruction of Justice
    Witness Tampering (emotionally blackmailing Roy Cropper to lie for her)
    Assault and ABH (punching Kevin in the face in the Rovers)

    Result: Deserves to happy with a child

    Imran:
    Perjury
    Filing False Documents in Court
    Knowingly Submitting False Evidence

    Result: Eternal Condemnation, Prison or death

    Sounds about right for Corrie.

    Saddest thing is that if he dies then the truth about Rana will probably never come out as it would only be Rana's mum who is left in the family. An absolute shocking waste of a storyline that gives out a bad message as Gary's actions resulted in the death of another person.

    The main Abi crime is her passed neglect of previous children that were removed from her care
    Indirectly responsible for Natasha’s death, Attempted murder or Corey
    and arson of Ray’s car

    I think this is going to be like Steve Owen's exit from Eastenders

    Imran tries to flee with Alfie, car crash, bursts into flames, Alfie is saved but Imran perishes

    2 siblings perishing in the most awful, cruellest, gruesome ways possible, a fate neither of them really deserve at all!

    All this just to pathetically create a 50p shop Mike Baldwin type villain (PAH-hahahahaha) or to yet again have their darling pet Saint Snoaty-Parker Abi come out on top rewarding even more of her bad behaviour all cos "sHe HaS sUfFeReD ENUFF"!

    How unjust!😫😔

    Exactly. Imran and Rana deserve/deserved so much better from the show. Why two of the best characters are/were being used as scapegoats by the producers is beyond me. I’ll be devastated if Imran’s exit from Corrie is permanent :(

    Indeed.

    This is what happens whenever TPTB play "favourites" and put certain characters on a pedestal, other characters end up suffering as a result with what TPTB THINK viewers want or whom they expect the viewers to apparently "root for".

    It's way too much and she is not even that likeable. Sally Carman is good but she's not that good.

    I am absolutely sick of the sight of Abi and I know many others who are too. She's had what feels like a decades worth of storylines in the last couple of years alone. She needs a long spell in the background if she is to ever be a viable character again.

    The thing with the way Corrie is handling Abi is I very well understand that traumatic life experiences you may have suffered from childhood on can easily mess you up and make you consistently make bad decisions in so many areas of life, but the issue is that she never has to seriously face the consequences of those actions or deal with the the underlying reasons for them. With what she's gone through she would surely need serious long term therapy or counseling to address them, and probably medication and/or seeing a psychiatrist too - it wouldn't surprise me if she would be given a diagnosis of borderline personalty disorder, bipolar or PTSD or something given her behaviour. Going to a weekly addiction support group is great but you'd have to be deluded to think that that alone would turn her life around.

    And this is without mentioning the multiple examples of criminal behaviour with which she's effectively got away with scot-free. It's helped to create a very glib depiction of people struggling with addiction issues imo. As a counter to the way Corrie has dealt with this I would recommend two excellent recent docs that show the real nature of addiction issues:

    I’m hoping Imran gets wind of Abi’s plans and does a runner with Alfie.

    I am fed up of all this “Abi has been through enough” rubbish TPTB seem to want us to believe is the reason she is a good mother who deserves Alfie. What Abi has been through or ‘deserves’ doesn’t matter as much as who can give Alfie the most stable life. We have seen countless times how Abi goes into self destruct when she reaches a life hurdle. Being mum to Seb, Charlie and Lexie wasn’t enough to make her change. Being Jack’s stepmum and almost adopting him wasn’t enough. So why will Alfie be different? There is no indication he will be.

    To be honest, when I first watched this trailer, I thought it looked weird. I don't like these sort of trailers when Corrie do these. Why can't it just be a normal trailer like what Emmerdale does.

    To be fair Imran could be covered in feathers and tar, wearing nothing but a box made out of sandpaper with a giant bee-hive trapped on his head and he'd STILL look gorgeous! :D;) 😍
