Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 20th Nov 7.30 pm
Bleating blasphemy from the pulpit at Sinead's funeral, staunch humanist Daniel will surely now regret joking to Billy about 'being struck down by lightning' for denouncing god. Struck down? not quite...but his flat was ransacked and burgled whilst he was by Sinead's graveside, and the laptop she lovingly saved digital death videos on (is there a name for this modern trend?), has been stolen too.
Unluckily, Daniel didn't back-up any of the data and is understandably distraught. Carla and Peter babysit Bertie whilst Daniel investigates, as Ken is in hospital (terrible cough that, let's hope Dr Ali isn't doing the diagnosis!). Meanwhile, with Weatherfield police being badly understaffed (arent they always) they cant immediately investigate the burglaries (how political!), so Daniel decides to take the law into his own hands.
If a burglar is on the prowl in Weatherfield, it looks like one of Billy's parishioners has also been targeted. Telling Paul all about his suspicions ( are we pleased those two are back together?) and his missing vicar diary being full of addresses, Billy assumes his new church cleaner is the culprit. Is Bernie on the rob, again?
Speaking of the law, Robert asks Adam for legal paternity advice, and it looks like Peter is getting broody with Carla, and he wants a puppy!. Meanwhile, a visiting Vicky is less in the mood when dealing with Robert's ambiguity and general stupidity. He wanted a baby, Michelle doesn't, she's also a bit of a mardy bum. Vicky is gorgeous, adores him, and is pregnant with his child. What IS this guys problem?
Being drip-fed the Baileys over these past few months has proved surprisingly beneficial and I'm a fan. My fave is Ed, what about you?. Although, is he deceiving Agi with the extra cash, online gambling again? Also back on screen, James has had a night on the tiles and returns having lost his phone and met a young man. Fretting about the phone and his sexuality being discovered, he admits everything to his brother. Micheal offers to take James to Stockport, in hope of tracking down his lost phone.
Families eh, who'd have them? Well, it seems David and Shona, that's for sure.
Love, marriage, prison riots, stabbings from jailbreak sons- its been a tumultuous few months for my fave corrie couple. After a quick chat, David and Shona (great camera shot of the barber's window) decide to formally adopt Max and Lily.
Meanwhile, Paul's family ties are beginning to bind him. Investigating Billy's suspicions of his mother, Paul heads over to Chesney's and soon finds a hidden bag and a stash of (assumed) stolen loot. Has the vicar solved Weatherfield's latest crime wave?
Speaking of which, Daniel heads over to the porn shop and recognises HIS laptop. Retrieving a golf club, he threatens the owner. Does it look like Daniel may get that visit from the police, after all?
More from me with the 8.30 pm episode review, and maybe we can find out.

those robberies while the family is at a funeral are all to common in the town I am from. we hired a house sitter while we were at my dear mothers.
You did a smart thing, funerals are what midnight mass on Christmas Eve used to be. Burglars take full advantage of the fact everyone in the household has to be gone for a couple of hours and social media let's them know exactly when it takes place.
I hope that was a 'pawn' shop Daniel went to! I was completely distracted by the actor playing the shop owner who I recognised had appeared in Corrie in other roles at least a couple of times over the years (most memorably as Raquel's sort-of boyfriend in 1993).
Aha yes! I thought to myself, I'm sure he's been in Corrie before too!
