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.

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.
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.
