Gary and Izzy - the happiest couple on Coronation Street?

This has got to be one of my favourite storylines and favourite scenes on Coronation Street I've seen in a very, very long time.  Last night's episode was made all the more better by another absence of St Ella, of course, which is one reason I've ben enjoying Corrie more than usual this week.

But Izzy breaking the baby news to Gary was just wonderful and I was almost in tears. Mikey North as Gary Windass and Cherylee Houston as Izzy Armstrong are two fantastic actors playing two wonderful characters. 

It's going to be interesting to see how this story plays out and we know that when Owen finds out the news that Izzy's pregnant, his reaction will be primarily fear of how Izzy's condition will affect her ability to carry a baby.
