Coronation Street surrogancy storyline set to get sillier

There's a Coronation Street spoiler in today's Star that says the surrogacy storyline will take a turn for the worse (in my opinion) when Tina, yes, Tina, steps in and agrees to become the surrogate mum to Izzy's baby.

The Star says that Owen puts his foot down and stops the plan for Katy to be Izzy's baby's surrogate mum.  Owen then offers Tina a stash of cash to carry the baby instead. And as Tina and Tommy are in so much debt, she agrees to do it for the money.  The spoiler goes on to say that Tommy isn't best pleased and tries to talk Izzy out of it.

Am I the only fan not enjoying this storyline one little bit? I just can't understand how any of them could afford the seven thousand pounds that they've already been told the procedure will cost.

It'd be a bit more interesting, I think, if Anna stepped in and offered to have the baby.
