Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog and the first of tonights two episode reviews...
Dodgy business deals seem high on the agenda in Weatherfield just lately. Alya's now determined to sell her shares in Underworld so she can buy into Speed Daal (from her ex-brother in law, no less). Will Carla sell her 'soul to the devil' and pay for the factory via Peter Barlow (ex-hubby, who's just sold his share in The Rovers Return, to ex Underworld boss, Carla's father, Johnny)?.
It's a good job Weatherfield Police are slack because it could be confused as 'money laundering', in these quasi-incestuous family financial dealings!.
Talking of which, Sally has hit the front page of the Weatherfield Gazette for her (false) financial dealings too. Seeking legal experience from Adam, she learns of Imran's representation of dodgy Duncan. An irate Imran jumps quickly to his defence.
It isn't long before Sally & Tim head to Duncan's house. Easily riled, Tim punches Duncan. I think Tim may need a lawyer now too?.
Sean's downtrodden life continues, as he lies again to Eileen. It's quite sad to see, but his penniless persona is now becoming more obvious.
Mary & Tracy in the florists surely needs a spin-off show of its own?. As the Spice Girls track 'Mama' plays in the background, Tracy's everpresent with her inherited (Blanche) sarcasm and Mary is in a pair of dungarees whilst ' TV presenting' to the petunias. It certainly lightens the load and diverts us from the (dodgy) business lessons that Corrie has given us recently. It's like Weatherfield's answer to Dragons Den!
In other news; Gary comes back from Scotland all 'hangry', and Toyah & Imran appear to be instant enemies.. for no reason?.
I'm @rybazoxo on twitter, your self-styled 'Cobbles Connoisseur'.
Give us a follow (for my 1.5% stake in Audrey's salon).
I will be back later, with my 8.30pm episode review.
TARA!
