Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog, and the first of tonight's two episodes-reviewed in a handy blog post.
Abbie and Carla reconcile after their recent argument, but you wonder how much trouble a boat can cause?.
Meanwhile, Abi is excited to be heading to Kefalonia with Captain Barlow. With Simon off of school, he's keen to help his dad on the boat, although Peter hasn't told his son about his trip with Abi until Carla tells subtly fills him in. Confronting his father in Roy's, Simon tells Peter that Abi means nothing to him, unluckily in earshot of Seb.
Later, paying her son a visit to tell him the news, Seb obviously can't wait to chastise his mother again and reveals Peters true feelings.
As David questions Shona's recent sneaky discussions with Nick, Clayton receives a beating for his Mums failed drug deal. Beaten to a pulp, Shona is called to the hospital. At the shop, David quizzes his brother and smashes a mirror in frustration. Over at Weatherfield General, Clayton is relatively unscathed but can Shona escape her sons latest drug dealing violence?.
Failing customer confidentiality, Alex is keen to tell Mary all of the latest gossip, and Mary is fitting perfectly into her new role as Ruby's new childminder. Tyrone is pleased with Mary's cooking, and eccentric house cleaning (headphones and a fluffy pig, anyone?).
Chesney makes peace with Gemma, will his quiche win him a quickie after all?. Fish fingers and fraternisation are certainly on the menu over a planned supper with young Joseph.
Meanwhile, Sally dreams of yoga on a Hindu retreat and introduces Kevin to the idea of a mindful retreat for young Jack. Kevin tells Sally that he's got a digital detox holiday planned with his son instead. How very millennial!. Maybe Roy could do with a detox perhaps but fear not, as Carla's filing soon puts him to sleep.
Over at Chesney's, Gemma starts making tea for Joseph and accidentally burns herself with a tray. Exclaiming the 'f word' in true Corrie comedy fashion blurts it out in earshot of the youngster (a lot of that going on tonight) The 'f word' has been dropped, and it isn't 'fish fingers'. Joseph is learning all about birds of prey, so if Chesney lets him watch 'KES', Gemma's 'f word' will be the least of worries! (great film, check it out, kids).
And outside on the street, Simon sits mournfully by the boat, looking a little lost... like a lost buoy perhaps.
Just how much trouble can a boat cause?.
More from me later tonight, with your Coronation Street blog review of 8.30 pm part two!.

Jeanie (anon): What is it about Coronation Street kids? They're so vicious to their parents, it would scare anyone off from ever having a child! Clayton, Seb, Simon--all of them delighted in being nasty towards their parents last night! Clayton, unspeakably vile; Seb gratuitously spiteful; Simon,bitter and whinging as per. Add to them, demon child Hope, out of control Tyler (ugh), mother-abusing Jude (and Simon), Amy, and the now charmless and condescending Aadi and Asha and it would be enough to make anyone despair. You wonder why anyone on the street would have a child--let alone quadrupulets! The only decent kid on the block is Summer...luckily for her,she wasn't raised on the street!
Simon Barlow has now been involved in 3 fire storylines.
1) The bookies flat fire in 2009, I think, where Luke Strong saved him.
2) When the Peacocks house caught fire after the tram crash in 2010 and he was saved by Jason Grimshaw.
3) Last night!
His almost-stepfather Kal also died in a fire! You'd think he'd have a fire phobia or PTSD by now. Hopefully Corrie will address this as it would make a much more interesting storyline than him basically being a spoilt thug.
