Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 20th April

Lisa Swain and Carla Connor at Craig's memorial in Coronation Street.

The countdown to the wedding-slash-murder has begun. Although looking at the previews, it doesn’t look like we will know who's gonna die on Thursday, but there'll be a series of flashbacks to the big day. In the meantime, Swain has written her vows and Betsy agrees to go to Carla's, rather than her mum's, hen do. Carla is struggling to write her vows, so Betsy asks what she wrote for her last wedding. Carla's had five previous nuptials: she must have enough practice by now, although perhaps she used the same vows for marriages 3 and 5. Just get AI to do it, Carls.

PC Lee Mack comes into Kate Oates Memorial to interview Carl, who lies to the po-po that he can't remember what happened. When Debbie visits him, he threatens to tell the cops it was Ronnie unless his mum signs over half the hotel to him and Debbie threatens that one day she won't remember that he's her son.

Summer hears that Carl has been attacked and jumps to the conclusion that it was Theo who beat him up. The man himself turns up to bully her and she accuses him of killing the arch deacon. "You should have heard Billy when he was pleading for his life," he murmurs to her. Wouldn't this be heard on the CCTV? I'm loving James Cartwright's chewing of the scenery as he goes Full Evil in (presumably) his last few weeks on the show. Incidentally, Summer's original dad, Drew, was her adoptive father, would it make sense at this point for her to start looking for her biological parents? You can have that one for free, storyliners.

I am quite into Jodie now despite her dumb plot to steal David from her sis. Corrie’s best villains in the past have done bad things for good reasons, (Richard Hillman, John Stape and even the stationery- murderer Stephen Reid all killed to keep their family/home/business) but we've yet to have a female version of that. Jodie nobbling the kid's iPad (presumably without wiping it; she doesn't seem like an IT guru) was not for herself or to terrorise the child, but for her step-niece.

At the misery pub, Ben falls out with Ollie, then Eva, then Maggie (again), then chases Eva to the precinct, where she bangs on the door of Megan's empty flat. Has Megan left because she heard that she's a potential murder victim?

And finally, Christina, who seems to be doing marketing now rather than cleaning, has put an advert in the Gazette for Shuttleworth's (with a juicy 50% off).
