I've just seen last night's Corrie episodes and I have to say this was probably one of the more bizarre bits of dialogue I've ever heard on Coronation Street in a long time. It went *something* like this:
Sally and Gail were talking about Lewis:
Gail "He was involved with someone I know"
Sally "It's not Kevin is it?"
Gail "Kevin??!!! of course not!"
Sally "What's wrong with Kevin?"
Gail "Nothing. He's very... Kevin. No, you don't know the people involved."
Sally "If this other woman is any kind of friend she'll be happy for you"
Gail "I wouldn't want to hurt her. I care about her"
Point 1: Why would Sally think the other person Lewis was involved with was Kevin? Neither man is gay nor would Kevin do any business dealings with Lewis. Kevin isn't even comfortable eating in the Bistro!
Point 2: Is Sally new here? EVERYONE knows Audrey and Lewis were together, and the gigolo scandal was the talk of the Street for months.
Point 3: After Sally had a crush on John Stape and found out he was having relations with her daughter, if she had any idea at all about Audrey's prior involvement, she'd have told Gail to run a mile.
Edited to add:
Well, I watched the scene again and several of the commenters are, of course, correct. Gail never mentioned Lewis by name. I was so sure she did and of course I knew who she was talking about. But without the name, it makes sense now! Whew! I thought surely the writers couldn't have gone that far out to lunch! Thanks you guys!
