All the wit and warmth of Weatherfield
None of the waffle

Nasty Neil’s daughter Cruel Kayla works her way into Craig’s life in order to find out the dirt on Bethany to help her dad’s court appeal. Bethany worked as a lapdancer, you say? In a club? Underage? Oh dear. Bethany and Ryan both think there’s something odd about Kayla but when Bethany puts her concerns to Craig’s mum Beth she thinks Bethany’s just jealous of Kayla. At Speed Daal, Kayla’s mum arrives and it’s clear she’s a woman who is, as they used to say, bad with her nerves. And who can blame her, after what her evil husband put her through?
A For Sale sign goes up at the Rovers after Peter and Toyah’s fall out over baby Susie. Eva gets the social services put onto her by Johnny after Liz spies Eva and the baby at the medical centre for the second time in two days. Liz tells Johnny she’s got the hots for him and he tells her he feels the same but he has to stay with Jenny in order to put up a united family front in his fight for baby Susie. Mike the teacher leaves after he sees no future hanging around as Liz has clearly only got eyes for Johnny.
Simon’s up to all sorts with his gang of pals from school. They taunt Alex in the café and rob the till at Roy’s Rolls. Then Simon and his mate Tyler, the gang leader, hurt Flora as they try to rob Daniel’s flat. Simon’s carted to the cop shop and Peter pleads with him to tell the truth, which he eventually does. But when Tyler finds out that Simon’s dobbed him to the coppers, he pins Simon up against the ginnel wall and threatens him.
Speaking of the ginnel, a whole new area of it has opened up that we haven’t seen before. Jack and Sophie play football there, Jack falls and hurts his knee. Cue the Sepsis storyline and yet more hospital scenes. Let’s hope incoming Corrie producer Iain MacLeod leaves the hospital well alone.
Flora’s left £250,000 in her son Harvey’s (aka Vinny’s) will. She goes to visit him in the morgue and says he “looks peaceful”. Just a reminder that Vinny/Harvey had been beaten, shot, dumped in a lake, entombed in concrete and then left in the morgue for months. Peaceful wasn’t the right word. Come on, scriptwriters, do your job, please. Anyway, Flora throws a party in the Bistro to celebrate coming into money, it’s cash that she’ll use to move into an old folks’ home. She gives Daniel her mum’s engagement ring and he proposes to Sinead, who accepts. Not to be outdone, Tracy demands that Steve prove his love to her in the way that Daniel has proved his to Sinead. “What? You want me to propose?” Steve says, aghast. Tracy takes this is as the sign she needs and accepts the proposal Steve doesn’t realise he’s given. A double Barlow wedding is now on the cards.
There’s a new romance budding on the street as Emma and Seb get friendly. “Oh, you’ve got lovely hair,” she tells Seb. “It’s like a waterfall of gravy.” Meanwhile, Faye returns and it’s all a bit awkward between her and Seb now that he’s moved on and she hasn’t. Which reminds me, she never speaks about her child she gave away, does she?
Finally this week, Carla recruits those two highly regarded intellectuals Kirk and Beth as spies in the factory to find out what’s going on with Alya in charge. Kirk distracts Sarah’s attention in the office just long enough for Beth to change an order from 1,000 units to 4,000 units. It’s an order that Alya will no doubt try (and fail?) to fill, leaving her understaffed, overworked and overstressed.
And that’s just about that for this week.

Carla Connor is a nasty piece of work.
No she's not. She is just trying to get back what is rightfully hers. Aidan made his will out BEFORE Carla gifted him the whole faktry, so he had no intention that Alya would get the whole thing. And Alya knows that. Carla started off by making a reasonable request to Alya - which Alya didn't accept. So now, all bets are off.
You have to wonder how good a solicitor Ben(?) is. Bequests are spelt out to avoid this kind of problem. Why doesn't anyone ask Ben whether Aidan made any comment about the factory? I know it would wreck the storyline but, as I think the factory should close down and become another enterprise, I don't much mind who wins.
"Hair like a gravy waterfall" is such a subliime description, is it possible to get a stock photo of Seb's gravy locks to post as a tribute?
"gravy" - "stock" Very good!
