Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 4th of April 2018 7.30pm
Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog and the first of tonights two episodes.
Clueless about Phelan's messiah-like recovery, an unsuspecting Eileen is still incarcerated in Weatherfield cop shop and facing further questioning.
Upon confirmation of Andy's dead body at the mill, Eileen realises that Andy was last seen alive on the day of her wedding.
The police now need to search Andys old flat, but with Craig facing self-imprisonment due to his burgeoning OCD, will this stop the police from entering?
Also facing a self-enforced prison (albeit metaphorical) is David Platt. His anguish following the sexual assault is now becoming hard to contain. Waking on the sofa, he continues to blow hot and cold with Shona, yet also subtly confides in Maria about a possible HIV test. Masquerading as Gary Windass, David visits the sexual health clinic but as he almost wittingly confesses the 'unprotected sex' to the nurse, he panics and flees.
Returning home, he finds Shona packing her bags. David again ferociously embraces her, before discarding her post-coital. He unconvincingly declares that he doesn't love her anymore and that they are through.
In the juxtaposition of Corrie's usual tradition, the more serious of tonights drama (Murder, OCD, SEX) sat nicely alongside Dev's new chip shop adventures, Rosie and Sophie's 'selfie gate', plus Chezney dressed as a haddock (he's always been a wet fish - just ask Sinead). And over at the Rovers, Angie relishes her new accountancy role but Jude seems a bit fishy in his new marine biologist job?.As always, Mary's wonderful enthusiasm keeps this story ticking along nicely. But, Just WHATT is Jude thinking not letting Mary meet his new employers?.
Anyway, that's me done for another week. Keep an eye out for tonights 8.30pm episode review written by @glenn_writes.

So many red herrings to do with Phelan.......Rosie will never now remember seeing him in the solicitor's office that time......those little metal houses Andy made, which could have been such good clues, are just forgotten. Phelan, hurry up and bump Eileen off so that we can say goodbye to you and her for good.
David's rapist is such a delusional creep! Why doesn't David just thump him one? Or knee him in the nuts? Or something?
I'm glad there will be justice for Andy after all.
According to pictures available online Gary eventually tracks Phelan down to the caravan where he is hiding out in disguise. Perhaps he will yet get his comeuppance for all his crimes. I very much hope so!
Is Ches dressing up as a fish the best the writers can come up with as 'humour'? I despair.
Mary's son Jude's "mystery" job is a big borefest... it's hard to care about him or his stupid job -- is it important whether he's a marine biologist or just the guy who feeds the fish? Such huge consequences, eh? Mary just losing face in front of who? Tracy? people on the Street?
And as for the big discovery that Sophie lost out to the restaurant owner/manager's girlfriend --- why is that such an outrage? This happens all the time -- how did she get the job of managing her father Kevin's garage? These writers seem not to live in the real world or even in the world of believable fiction. And how is that Sophie who has never managed or even worked in the food business actually gets an interview of a restaurant manager's position in the first place?
And I totally agree that the whole fish suit thing is a feeble and lazy attempt at humor. This show is going down the tubes if the only thing people are excited about is Phelan's final, really final exit.
