It's that time of the week already! Another Wednesday wander down Weatherfield way- its time for my hump day review.
The action begins in Roy's Rolls, and Adam and Eva begin their plan to bring Aidan down, and at all costs. Eva's legendary giggle at a bemused Roy is one of those great Corrie subtle moments. The subtlety is suddenly diminished however, when Eva steals Aidan's financial paperwork (online banking, anyone?).
Over at the builders yard, Phelan makes amends with young Seb, and that scouse charm is layered even thicker when a suddenly interested Nicola (Phelan's potential heir apparent) returns to the fold and wishes to reside to The Rovers, for a 'getting to know you session'.
Back at Roy's Rolls, David and Sarah are pondering the disastrous attempt at nailing nefarious Nathan as Bethany storms in. After an impassioned plea, a broken Bethany departs, more aloof than ever.
Down at the pub, at the 'getting to know you session' we delve deeper into Phelan's scouse psyche. Phelan admits to having an 'affinity with wolves', an affinity that is prophetic, to say the least. The shared affinity being young Seb, who has informed Nicola that Phelan is dying, no chance of that, definitely not our Phelan's style.
Meanwhile Eva's soliloquy to her cat (after stealing Aidan's financial papers) is notable. Eva's underlined feeling of revenge (although heavily laden) has Adan Barlow (or should we say Baldwin) salivating for the factory. I imagine Corrie's newest legal firm would have fun, with such a predicament.
With a predictable comedy 'break' in tonight's wonderfully drama-packed episode, blundering Brian continues on his bizarre 'Keep Britain Tidy' farce. I much prefer my comedy storylines from Norris, if I am honest.
Outside the chip shop (no sign of Brian for the newspaper wrapping), a sudden dawn of realisation has shone on Bethany, counselling may well be a turning point. As Craig listen's tentatively and remains her true confidante, I feel a new romance may bloom?
And romance, is the final theme of tonight's episode. the 'bezzy mates' of the builders yard flat have all had a bevvy and the 'ménage à trois' becomes a comfortable twosome. I can see Luke and Ayla as a romance?
The true romance in tonight's episode though, is Adam 'Mike Baldwin' Barlow and his chance to finally get his hands on his true love.. his heir apparent, the factory.
More from me, next week.
