Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 21st September

 

Roy's teacups now have cameras in the bottom of them for Bernie and Christina to peer into to read their futures in the tea-leaves. Good news and travel are the results. Talking of results, Bernie has the BRCA blood test today and Kit tells Todd he doesn't want to tell her his diagnosis as he wants her to have two weeks before she gets the results, which he knows will be positive. However, the nurse taking the blood test is called Paul and Bernie thinks it was Apollo looking after her from heaven. She also says that she and Dev should book a holiday and Kit stomps off, insulting her hippie-dippy ways. He finally 'fesses up that he has stage 3 breast cancer and Bernie breaks down. 

 

Loopy  Lucy is mad at Sally for wanting to go to the pub quiz (first prize: beef and mustard crisps) so fakes feeling ill so that Sal will stay at home. I mean, she's 15 - she can look after herself can't she, or surely Tim can being her some Lemsips. The quiz features '80s singers and '80s hairstyles so Debbie (born 1968) is in her element and wins a hotpot voucher

 

Also in the pub, Glenda wants to post a vid of  Suzy singing You Can't Stop The Beat on the Little Big Shotz socials but Maggie is worried that pervs and weirdos will see it. Given that one of her grandkids has already been exploited by a perv and weirdo, she has a point. She gets the video taken down.

And finally, Ross winds up Kev, telling him he shouldn't forgive Carl for what he did to Kev (how does Ross know?), which enrages Debbie and she slaps her bro. In the meantime, Carl has got a trial shift on the switch at Streetcars, so I guess he's sticking around despite the fact I fully thought he'd left.

Monday 21st September 2026

WILL KIT FINALLY UNBURDEN HIMSELF? Dev and Kit accompany Bernie to her appointment. In the waiting room she tells them she knows in her heart of hearts that her test will prove negative. Kit loses his temper and storms off. Bernie catches up with Kit and berates him for his negative attitude. Will Kit finally open up about his own diagnosis? 

KEVIN’S UNABLE TO BITE HIS TONGUE When Carl overhears Steve moaning about the bloke working the switch, he offers his services. Kevin watches on as they shake hands on a trial. With the pub quiz in full swing, Debbie’s in her element answering questions about the 80s. Ronnie smiles at Glenda, knowing she fixed it in Debbie’s favour. Debbie’s jubilant as she heads out but her mood quickly sours when she overhears Ross slagging off Carl to Kevin. 

SALLY’S SUSPICOUS OF LUCY’S SICK PLAN When Sally reveals that she plans to attend the pub quiz, Lucy’s face darkens and she makes out she’s not feeling well. 

ELSEWHERE Glenda hosts a pub quiz to raise money for Debbie’s dementia choir. Susie persuades a reluctant Ben and Eva to allow Glenda to post the video of her singing on the Little Big Shotz website. Maggie’s disapproving.

Coronation Street: Episode Review Friday 18 September 2026

Kit hears that the cancer has not spread beyond his lymph nodes and generally survival rates  are very good.  They want to start new-adjuvant chemo to shrink the tumour and then they will carry out a mastectomy and  a sentinel lymph node biopsy.  Things are in Kit's favour according to the doctor.  Kit assures the doctor he has a support network at home but he has not yet told them.  The doctor hands over letters detailing his tests and confirming the gene mutation to be passed to his relatives.  At work they now know that one of the suspects in the Luke Cookson case lives near the precinct.  Kit does not want to join the search as he wants to take some time off as he needs to see the family.  Lisa goes to Roy's Rolls for a coffee and notes that Bernie and family are there - but not Kit, so guesses he was lying.  Kit is at the precinct and spots the party the police want to interview.  He chases him but is outnumbered and when we see him later his face has taken a bit of a battering.

Jodie continues to find ways of gaslighting Shona by playing recordings of the baby crying when she is half asleep.  David has the baby safe and quiet in the garden.  Anyway David and Shona are off to see Gaddas later.  Before they go Shona cannot find her phone (no doubt hidden by Jodie) and she panics about it.  When they get back Doug is there as well as Jodie.  The doctor has prescribed rest to deal with the diagnosis of postpartum fatigue.  Jodie is convinced the doctor has got it wrong and meant to say postpartum psychosis.  Jodie tells Shona that she and David can ensure all is well.  Jodie stirs the pot asking what Doug heard when he was bipolar - he cannot remember.  Shona did not tell Gaddas about the family history and Jodie presses the point that she should have done.  Later when Shona is asleep Jodie makes various approaches to David and gets completely knocked back.

Debbie is due to meet Ronnie later for their tea but forgets about it and goes shopping instead.  Her phone was on silent so she misses his messages.  Carl is not managing to get any of the jobs for which he applies.  Debbie concocts a story for Ronnie about being needed at the hotel to cover her absence.  She says it has been a right pavlova.  

Summer is making progress with her new beau.  Asha reports that Siena has been consigned to the bin or the sea (or both).  So is resolutely single and Amy admits to Ronnie that she is jealous of Summer having a beau.  

Kit thinks about handing out the letters and then changes his mind.  It seems Bernie's test is tomorrow.  In reality Kit knows the outcome already.

I may have missed it but Summer's new man is Marco Rhodes (William Teasdale).  No doubt there will be a back story along soon to explain the tag and much else.  I will be here next week but after that there is likely to be a four week gap due to a long holiday.  Precise dates will depend on events.  I am working on the screen grabs - I hope it is better this week.
