David wants to be a daddy but Kylie doesn’t want to be a mammy to another baby. Her work at the Bistro continues to impress David’s big brother Nick and he gives her a promotion while little brother David sulks at his wife having a life.   Mind you, Kylie’s got lots to do at the Bistro but it was up to Gail this week to clear up after Lewis who, very carefully, lay down on the floor then threw a tray of glasses all over, smashing them all. Gail rushed to his aid, took him home to the sofa and is nursing his poorly back better. Every time the camera pans to Lewis’ face, you expect him to be twirling a moustache he doesn’t have and giving an evil laugh. Gail’s loving having someone to faff over and Lewis is happy when he searches for and finds her bank statements. What he does next with them is anyone’s guess.

Tyrone tries to do a runner with Ruby this week but when Fiz finds out she insists that Tommy takes her to Tyrone and they convince him to stay, dreadful though it is, with crazy Kirsty at home. Fiz goes to see her solicitor (hasn’t she already done so?) who advises Tyrone to marry crazy Kirsty so that he can get legal custody of baby Ruby and then divorce Kirsty.  Seems a mad idea to me but then I’m neither a solicitor nor a soap writer.

After Rita gave Dennis a debit card last week, he slaps the plastic a bit too hard and gets drunk in the Rovers, buying rounds he can’t afford from Rita’s bank account. She’s not best pleased, especially when her card gets declined in the Bistro when she tries to pay for a meal with Emily.  Dennis knows he’s done wrong so decides to put things right and gets a job as a Traffic Management Operative with Weatherfield Council – the only council in the country taking staff on at the minute.  We all know that in the world of soap a Traffic Management Operative means that Dennis has got a job as a Lollipop Man, but no one else seems to have twigged that just yet.

News of Tina’s pregnancy gets out after Norris blurts it, on purpose and against Rita’s advice, to everyone in the pub.  Of course, everyone assumes the baby is Tommy’s and he’s as fed up with the surrogacy storyline as the rest of us are, so he drinks the pints that are being bought for him and gets merrily drunk.  Tango Tina chucks a tantrum and faints in the Street with anaemia.

And Jason chats St Ella up in the back room of the pub.

And that's just about that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get these Corrie weekly updates by email at http://www.corrie.net/updates/weekly
