Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 19th October

Coronation Street - Sarah - ITV

Sarah has rocked some good court outfits - the salmon suit, a kind of Jackie O check number, a purple suit and today, a sober black. Plus who's doing her hair? Is there a coiffeuse in chokey, imprisoned for breaking lockdown rules?

I know that soap law states that there has to be a trial, but it seems pretty ridiculous the CPS wouldn't have gone for a manslaughter charge to a) get a guilty verdict and b) avoid a jury trial. I think we all knew there'd be a not-guilty verdict because there's gonna be a baby bombshell fallout at some point in the near future. Plus the cell with the private phone needs to be cleared in order to house the next Weatherfield One.

Coronation Street - Ross Tyrone - ITV

Like a lot of dads, Ross is making up for his lack of parenting by bonding with his grandchild. Like a lot of dads, Ross thinks kids are too soft nowadays and like a lot of dads, doesn't understand that father-ing has changed. But most dads haven't killed (?) Claire Sweeney so we know that Ross is not just a bad'un, not just a misogynist, not just a toxic masculinity proponent, but a murderer (or at least a kidnapper) to boot and is such is Number One Baddie at the moment. Interestingly, I was taught by an ex-Corrie writer who gave the character of Tyrone his name - I asked her if she called him after the county in Ireland and she said she wanted a name that sounded like a boxer.

Coronation Street - Daniel Ken - ITV

Leanne has a crisis of conscience hearing Sam and Nick talking and decides not to pursue the purchase of the Bistro, which leads to Idris getting himself wrapped up in a new business oportunity-slash-storyline. Daniel, who seems to be a) bored and b) mad at Mrs Crawshaw, decides that he's going to oppose the council's sell-off of the school's playing field. Doesn't he know by how much councils have had their central government grants cut since 2010?

And finally, Debbie and Ronnie get it on.

WILL THE SCALES OF JUSTICE TIP IN SARAH’S FAVOUR? In the courtroom, Sarah listens to the barristers’ closing speeches, her nerves jangling. In the court corridor, the usher announces that the jury has reached a verdict. What will the verdict be?

LEANNE HAS A CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE Nick tells Sam that he’s planning to sell the business back to Leanne so that he can focus on him. Sam begs him to reconsider, pointing out that it’s his livelihood and he loves the place. What will Nick do?

WILL IDRIS AND DANIEL GO HEAD TO HEAD? Idris tells Alya that there’s a piece of council land he’s interested in buying and he’d like her to act as his solicitor. Meanwhile Daniel tells Ken that according to Mrs Crawshaw, the council plans to sell the spare land to a fat cat developer but Daniel resolves to put a stop to it. Will Idris and Daniel go into war?

RONNIE AND DEBBIE’S SEX LIFE IS PUT ON ICE When Debbie suggests a romantic night in, Ronnie turns her down and explains that Ed is taking him out for a belated birthday meal. Later, Ronnie admits to Ed that although he still fancies Debbie, he’s worried about her dementia and the effect it could have on their sex life. Ed urges Ronnie to discuss it with Debbie. Will Ronnie take Ed’s advice?

ELSEWHERE Ross calls at the garage and shows Tyrone the boxing gloves he’s bought for Dorin, pointing out that it’ll give him a chance to bond with his grandson. Later, Ross forces Dorin, then Tyrone, to have a go at boxing but neither of them enjoy it.
