Welcome to part one of tonight's Coronation Street blog episode review. Its the 4th 'Hump Day' of 2018 so let's leap into the action on our favourite fictional street.
Following Gary's altercation in the lap-dancing club, tonight's episode sees the wounded Windass warrior back on fine form. Exiting swiftly from Weatherfield General, Gary arrives back on Coronation Street and dishes out advice to Faye, divulges Anna's ABH / GBH charge with Kevin, and broodily reignites his relationship with Sarah!. You'd think Sarah would be more concerned with her underage daughter's seedy strip job but hey, that's Sarah for you, she's rather deluded - bless her. How with Bethany take this reconciliation?.
My other favourite 'machiavellian macho man' of Coronation Street, is also back on top form. Phelan is looking very busy indeed. As Aidan chases him for the factory roof job, a proposal of a site managers job down at the (murder) mill is also in the offing. Will Phelan evade justice or is this the start of his downfall?.
As Alya still mourns Phelan's most recent murder (where is Seb by the way), Aidan is side-stepped after bumping into a mournful Maria in Roys Rolls. Its a bump of another kind though, as a text from Eva encourages Aidan's true feelings. Unfortunately, his meeting with Maria is relayed back to Eva (via Peter Barlow) and Eva's ambiguity for a baby Connor is reborn.
Will the baby survive the factory step fall, and how will a grieving Toyah react to her half-sister's news?.
Adam Barlow is all out for revenge with pills for Billy the Vicar. With Eileen's good news of Todd's return, she reluctantly helps Billy plan an escape with Summer and Todd, so she drives him to meet his 'daughter' and her son. Upon arriving, however, it's clear that Todd is a no-show. As Summer delivers a heartfelt and harrowing monologue, it appears Todd has already gone on the run, after punching a PC!!. What now for Billy and Summer?.
Meanwhile, Adam manages to gain entrance to Eileen's and swaps Billys painkillers for paracetamol, will Billy notice as his pain increases?. There was no doping Dev whom wouldn't prescribe enough tablets to Adam but what about his other half, Gina?. Busy with new orders for her business venture, will she collect her bi-polar prescription in time?
It was jam-packed tonight so I almost forget to mention Tracy Barlows birthday!. Steve has got her flowers and a trip to Paris. Young Amy however, isn't happy that she that her parents have reunited and she wants a new phone!!. Kids today eh!
Anyway, that's me done for another week. I'm off to listen to some Leonard Cohen tunes with Peter Barlow.
