#Kylie - Coronation Street episode review, Weds 10th June

It would be bizarre to start with anything other than the news that Kylie finally  returned to David tonight. This disproves my theory of late that Wednesday episodes are normally a 'bridge' episode between the dramatic Monday and Friday episodes to tie up details and prepare us for things to come.

"Do you know how many coppers I have given your description to? How many pubs I've searched?
How many messages I've posted? Hashtag Kylie!"

Kylie stood nervously with the delightfully trampy Gemma, who kindly lent her some lippy to give her that final push. David is naturally full of questions and Kylie tries hard to convince him that she has now been clean for three months. After a heartwarming reconciliation with Max and Lilly, Callum arrives to collect Max. Kylie is horrified about this and doesn't understand what is happening. It is only then that she realises what she has done - or has not done - by not being there.  Still, Kylie is confident that her reformed presence will change things. It is fantastic to have Kylie back on the Street; ensuing drama is without doubt on the cards.

"Things are different now. I'm back. I'm clean. It changes everything"

Elsewhere on the cobbles, we learn that Michael is still in the hospital, Liz and Erica meet some seemingly nice men and Julie mistakenly believes that Dev is going to propose to her. In fact, Dev has met someone else in India. It looks like this is the storyline which will pave the way for Julie's exit.

A subtle but potentially crucial moment occurred tonight regarding the mystery of Jenny. Sophie is organising Maddie's funeral when she announces that Ben is to attend, yet she has had difficulty locating Maddie's mother. Kevin said: "Must be hard burying one of your kids." A look of utter guilt, worry or even just sheer unpleasantness washes over Jenny. This could be something or nothing, but the look certainly did provoke a thought.

And on a lighter note, Erica persuades Liz to go to 'Nattercise'.

"Work those abs, work that jaw"

Altogether, a surprisingly 'big' episode, with the long awaited return of Kylie Platt with some other storylines moved along slightly, but nicely.

Thank you for reading my first blog.
