I completely agree with Flaming Nora about the ruination of Graeme Proctor. This storyline where Graeme is about to marry Xin to keep her in the country is just nasty but I'm going out on the speculation limb here. I don't think the wedding will happen.
Why? Because, first of all, Corrie can't be seen to encourage illegal behaviour. If the wedding did happen, they would be found out, Graeme would be off to jail and Xin would be on a fast boat to China. Second of all, I think Graeme is too honest to go through with it. And thirdly, I predict that Xin will get a legitimate job at the last minute, eliminating the reason for Graeme to marry her.
We know that Graeme and Tina are going to pretend to break up but will also break up for real. I expect that they will and Graeme will likely just move away or maybe go with Xin, having developed feelings for her.
What do you think? Good theory or rubbish?
Good theory, if Graeme was arrested Tina would also be arrested as she was obviously in on it, but she's not going anyway, I think Graeme will turn down Xin then leave Tina because she emotionally blackmailed him into it all
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that Xin's accent sounds like she was born in this country, rather than someone who has only been here for a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI agree,I think Graeme will leave and go and stay with Claire in France. He won't marry Xin. Does anyone know how long Xin's sticking around for?
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Tina marry Xin? Civil partners have the right to stay in the same country as their spouse.
ReplyDeleteRachel, considering Phil Collinson's obsession with gay characters at the moment that will probably happen at some stage!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see Graham head off to France and hook up with Claire...they're both so quirky they'd make a great pair but...I'm just dreaming...can't have nice people on Corrie anymore.
ReplyDeleteWas anybody else bothered by Xin & Kylie last night? They seemed awfully chummy. Xin sure didn't act the timid downcast foreigner with her.
ReplyDeleteThis storyline is pathetic. No girl would hand over her boyfriend like that. Period. And if Xin is another schemer, oh joy, we certainly needed someone to fill the screen when Kylie, Becky & Tracy were unavailable. Plus, Tina, who used to have great street smarts, is having a massive personality fail. Fast forward!
Good theory, methinks.
ReplyDeleteSO uninterested in Xin and really anything to do with Tina McIntyre.

There's been a TON of crap storylines lately ... but this one - the worst.
ReplyDeleteWell, wait a sec. Or the whole David/Kylie thing.
Ugh.
Oh no, i think the David and Kylie thing is a laugh. David needs someone like her to lead him around by the nose, and someone just as bad as he is and it'll be a joy to see Gail in a knot all the time! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think they might go through with it, they'll get caught, and Graeme will go to jail while Xin gets deported. Craig Gazey had said he'd like to return one day, so that would be a way to have him gone for a while, and he could make a reappearance if the actor/writers want him back, a la Tracy.
ReplyDeleteOr I think Graeme going to live with Claire is another good possibility too. Hopefully Xin gets deported either way - I'd hate Graeme to go off with her.
I'm one of the few who actually likes Tina and Graeme together, and I'm not enjoying that this incredibly unlikeable character is coming in between them right now.
Xin turned from a little timid mouse into a Grade 1 schemer that would match Kylie. Graeme needs the support of his pal Ashley right now don't you think? :( And some flipin girlfriend Tina's turned out to be.
ReplyDeleteAww Graeme is so nice. There are so many badies on the street right now.
Are we really supposed to care about characters that have been on screen the whole of 5 mins?
And where have all the kids come from? It's like Hollyoaks all of a sudden
Dreadful stories right now. The worst I can remember. So bad that Mrs Hargreaves really 'did' lose the will to live ;)
Sorry folks, the end of another moan... I'll have to limit myself to just a few a week at this rate :)
I dont wanna sell my grandma's brooch, whine whine whine. What gives this woman a sense of entitlement to be in this Country anyway. What lunatic with a criminal record would risk his liberty for someone he only met a couple of weeks ago. Cant stand this story.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't Tina leave the show? I've never liked her and think Graeme is far too good for her.
ReplyDeleteim with the rest of you
ReplyDeletepitiful storyline-tinas best mate? weve only seen her for a couple of weeks she used to say she hated working inthe pound shop now all of a sudden it was a right laugh when xin was there
of course u lose touch with your best mate all the time dont you
the actrsess is awful and so is the writing of all of this-couldnt they think of another way to write graeme out
well you know what i actually like xin and i want xin and greame to go off with each other, and tina to be less than satisfied with tommy.
ReplyDeletebut i guess that is too much of a happy ending and we all know that soaps and happy endings are like tracy and rita: complete opposites.
lol
