Oh goodness I don't care where you post it. I was asking her about something on Corrie, because we're 9 months behind and I want to know how a storyline turns out (it's bugging me!)

You're driving me crazy!
It's Christmas, so they have just come back from the hotel and Fiz thought that he was at his mothers. They were at Kirk and Chesney's and Stape was paged by Rosie and he met her in the kebab shop and Rosie gave him an ultimatum.

I have a habit of reading ahead on Corrie, through csvu.net. I remember when the big thing with Richard Hillman happened, I knew about and then had to wait 9 months to actually see it happen, but the anticipation of it was so much fun! I don't mind knowing what happens ahead of time because it's still exciting to actually see it happen.
What Manda told me has already happened here, I just haven't watched it yet (I taped it.)

Yeppers! Ever since I started watching Corrie I've been reading ahead to know what goes on (plus with most stuff, by the time we catch up in 9 months, I've forgotten what happens!)

You won't forget this!  
After Stape manages to wheedle his way back into Fizz's affections, Fizz changes her mind, because of all the opposition to their relationship. So he's out on his ear again, upset and angry. Lloyd gets a call in for a taxi pick-up from a nightclub, and Stape takes it. Turns out to be Rosie; when she sees that Stape is her driver, she walks off .............................. and Stape drives round the block, appears suddenly in front of her and bundles her into the cab. He won't let her out, takes her on a terrifying high speed drive, acts really creepy and horrible like you don't know he is going to do to her, forces an apology from her (and she really grovels) ................ then he takes her back home! She gets out of the cab and starts yelling abuse at him when he asks her for the cost of the fare. Lloyd comes out, Stape tells him she won't pay, and she runs off. She goes home in tears and tells her parents Stape kidnapped her. Rosie and Kevin are furious, Sophie says Rosie's "making it up", and Kevin agrees to Sally going over to the taxi office to confront Stape. Stape calmly tells her that Rosie wouldn't pay and was abusive, and Lloyd backs him up. Sally goes home, tells Kevin, and Rosie isn't believed.
But that isn't the end of it ........................... (and the rest hasn't even happened here yet! I'm just like you - I trawl for spoilers and gobble them up! lol)

Wow!!! Who would have thought that Mr. Stape would be capable of this!!! Woohoo, I'll be looking forward to this the way I was looking forward to Richard terrorizing everyone!!!

My pleasure. Let me know if you do watch it. There's also him in China, which was good.

Maggie, I love you!!!
From what I understand of Canadian thanksgiving, it was started back in the 1500's (yes, long before the Americans) by Martin Frobrisher who was travelling through the Arctic. It was a long and hard journey so at the end of it, they sat down for a meal and gave thanks for making it through.
It was celebrated off and on following that, and then in the 1950's the Canadian government declared that the Thanksgiving holiday in October was to celebrate the bountiful harvest blessings that God has given our nation. Now it's an excuse to eat turkey and not go to work.

I can remember Rosie being born too... and have vague other memories.
