Greetings and welcome to the Coronation Street Weekly Update. And so without any further ado, here we go with this week's Coronation Street update.

The worst kept secret in soap history oozed out this week when Stella revealed she was Leanne’s real mum. Peter had found a photo of Leanne in Stella’s purse and when questioned, she crumbled by the teapot in the Rovers’ back room. Finding out that your mother’s an ex-EastEnders slapper is hard enough for anyone to take and it all comes out at Leanne’s 30th birthday in the pub.
Leanne tells Stella that she wants her to leave, so Stella tells Steve she’s going and starts to pack up in the pub. That is, until Peter makes Stella realize she’s taking the easy way out, running out on her daughter, again, and so she decides to stay. Whether Leanne will decide to thaw towards her mum remains to be seen. Relationships remain decidedly frosty for now.
Meanwhile, Fiz gets her collar felt by the fuzz and she’s arrested and charged for murdering Colin Fishwick. I have no sympathy, really, she should’ve been arrested months ago for marrying John in the first place. Anyway, Fiz is denied bail and little Hope is left with the Croppers to mind while Chesney cracks up on losing his sister and Fiz breaks down in her prison cell bunk. Better get used to it, we’re going to have this crying and wailing for weeks.
At Roof and Refuge, there’s a charity auction to raise charity funds. The event’s held at Nick’s Bistro and the movers and shakers of the Weatherfield world are bidding to win luxury items such as Deirdre’s hand made pottery vase and a month of brunches at the caff. Carla gets her head turned by psycho Frank when he bids £500 to win her a handbag that looks like it’s only worth two bob and a half.
Anna’s worried about losing her home when she finds out the owners are selling it and she can’t get a mortgage. Never mind, Owen steps in that very same day announcing he’s bought the house and she can stay on as his tenant. Anna’s grateful as it means by keeping the house the social services will let her keep Faye, she just doesn’t realize yet just how much of a control freak landlord Owen will be.
And in Gail’s house, it’s shopping bags at dawn as Gail and Kylie go to war in the battle to feed David. It's a bun fight at the OK Corral. In a fantastic shot, Kylie’s at one of the street with her Freshco bags and Gail’s at the other. Which woman will be first to get their goodies in the oven and into David’s tum? Kylie of course, she’s younger, she’s faster, she’s got barbeque food. Gail’s not best pleased, as you can imagine, and she tuts over the garden fence from Sally’s place when Kylie and David get frisky al-fresco. “Me mam loves a good moan,” says David. “It’s one of her five a day.”
And that's just about that for this week.
This week's writers were Jayne Hollinson, Julie Jones, Ellen Taylor, Jan McVerry and Mark Burt.

Get a life Gail, never mind worrying about David's dinner! The woman is certifiable....Richard Hillman should have thought to chain a cement block to Gail in the car before driving into the canal.
I wouldn't want Gail making me dinner either, what with her puddling in Nick's loo 24-7!!
I thought the Gail and Kylie farce over David's lasange was ridiculous. It looks to me that they just dont know what to do with Gail as a character any longer. And why were she and Sally spying on the pair of them canoodling in the garden, very weird behaviour of the two moaning old matrons.
I liked Sally and Gail's little chit chat over a glass of wine at first. That's the type of thing that I like about Corrie - simple interactions between neighbours and friends (sadly seems to have gone out the window in recent months). However when they started spying on David and Kylie is got a bit creepy. Also, Gail seemed surprised when she found out Sophie was working for the charity, yet the benefit was held at the Bistro, where she supposedly works?!
For the first time I was actually on Kylie's side. Gail was just out and out nasty and bitter accross the garden fence and made even Sally seem nice. They've run out of stories and husbands for Gail, any worse and she'll make Ivy Tilsley look like Mary Poppins! (I wonder what the old time characters make of all this lack in standards and sensational stories that come up week after week?)
And wouldn't neighbours in a little street such as this pull together and do more ie. call on Ches, get a petition etc etc when somebody is accused of murder, especially Gail and even Deidre. You know, those that wouldn't usually call, in order to show community spirit and togetherness?? Gail hardly flicked those eye lashes! Just a thought. Surely not all of them think Fiz is guilty so just get on with life as normal..... Or is it that so many have been jailed :) lol and there is more a sense of "here we go again" and "she'll be out in 6 weeks!"
Great comment, Beth.
Fiz could've swallowed her own head ... over-act much? I remember that premature labour scene...how did the rest of the cast not burst into laughter? I mean..the babe was not even 4 pounds.
