- In the early seasons, Corey was slightly immature and would always cause arguments with Leah to get the twins on his side. For example, during a phone call with Leah who told him that she could not take Ali to physical therapy because Aleeah was sick, Corey insinuated that the girls would hide in the laundry room if Leah and Jeremy were ever arguing in front of them or Aleeah once claimed that she had to make breakfast for her and Ali because Leah was sleeping too much. Leah denied these claims ever being true.
- For a short period of time during Leah's recovery from mental health and substance abuse, Corey had temporary custody of Ali and Aleeah.
- It is possible that the baby Leah aborted in 2011 was Corey's, as fans speculated and believed that he was the reason Leah had an abortion because she did not know who the father was.
