Coronation Street hour-long episode review, Sunday 7 Dec

So far so bad, for the sofa. So will it be leaving Sally’s? The sofa which she first detested then loved when she realized how expensive it was, may well be on its way back to Diane’s. Diane who is, according to Sally, ‘a breath of fresh air’ and who ‘has a summerhouse!’

‘You’ve all told lie after lie – you have deceived me over and over again’ says Diane.  Such strong words – and all for a sofa. 

Shame for Kevin though, as it looked as if he might have found a new romance – unless Diane can see past sofa –gate and laugh at the whole ridiculous business.

Sean is up with the lark on a Sunday, which comes as a surprise to Eileen. Might it be excitement or future plans to get up in time to accompany Emily to join the congregation at Billy’s church. This morning though, Emily is on her way earlier than usual as she is introducing the new vicar.

Eileen quizzes Sean as to the meaning of his early rising. He is though, surprisingly unforthcoming. ‘You’re normally chapter and verse, ‘she says. Sean tells her he met someone. ‘Spill!’ demands Eileen.

‘He’s high up in a global organization and does lots of charity work,’ he tells her. ‘He’s special – I’m playing it cool.’

Tony is very keen for Zeeedan to work for him today and ends up offering him triple time, which, if he doesn’t accept, means that there will be no more work. Zeedan accepts and tells Tony that today is his mother’s birthday.

Later, Kal has a word with Tony. ‘I know what you’re about. An ageing hard man throwing his weight about.’  A fair summary? Or is Tony more than and better than that?

The Community Centre, which seems to be the whole preserve of Yasmeen, seemed chaotic. Sharif is a reluctant Father Christmas and Alya is an even more reluctant elf. Sally wants another photograph because ‘Tim looks confused’ on the first photo. Yasmeen says they can have as many photos as they like, as long as they pay for each one.

Maria has Max run into her and consequently she stabs herself in the eye with a mascara brush. Luke is very solicitous and tells Steph she is not needed.

Kylie is discovered in the Dog and Gun by David and Eva, with Callum and with drugs. Kylie desperately tries to talk her way out of it, but no one is believing her.  Despite Eva telling Kylie all that she has going for her in life, it makes no difference and it seems, for now, that the drugs are winning.
