This unseen hit and run is a bit surprising, isn't it? I genuinely thought I'd missed episodes after Monday night's first! Of course, Covid restrictions are very much still in place, but they managed to film an accident when Gary saved Sarah from being run-over that time! I find that confusing, and I’ve thought about it a lot this week ( I need a job!). Drama for drama sake maybe? It does give them a good excuse to fudge Todd into some more morality based quandaries though. I can't say I'm pleased about Shona either. If she did it, that is. Tonight, and with Todd out of the hospital, knowing whodunnit, he heads over to Gail’s to dish out his own brand of vengeance on the Platts - by taking residence.
Meanwhile, David gets arrested by PC Craig for the hit and run, and the whole thing gets even more confusing. The scene with Todd soul-baring to Sarah did have a touch of nostalgia about it, so can Sarah save Todd’s muddled conscience? I'm unsure what we are supposed to think about Todd, but he seems to pull through, and David's released without charge! Heading to the tram stop (for the 100th time), Todd is stopped from leaving by Eileen and is accepted back into the fold. But what are we viewers to think? I'm confused!
Does anyone remember Maddie’s mural that was painted by Corrie’s very own artist-in-residence, Craig Tinker? I wonder what happened to that creative carrot-top! Oh yeah, he joined Weatherfield police (where all good artists go) and is now copper N0.1 arresting everybody for everything (unless it's unconscious bias, of course). I assume the random extras that usually play coppers are stuffed by covid-19?
Anyway, old arty Craig has probably forgotten about it too, and that Seb artwork didn't have the permanence so it's no wonder it gets sabotaged. Was it Abi though?. Really? I doubt it somehow. I do like Nina and Asha’s relationship, but I think Asha may be trying a bit too hard with that laptop sale to raise the fern and fauna funds! That rules Asha out I think, so did Nina self-sabotage?
Alina’s sudden sherlock sleuthing is commendable but she’s got the wrong end of the stick in thinking Rachel (her ex human-trafficking boss) is the one who started the fire. Maybe Jan could come back and sort it all out? I miss that guy. Anyway, Ty takes them over to N0.9 to recuperate from the fire, whilst Fiz keeps noHope out of the way. Later, Ty tells Alina of Rachel’s innocence only for Alina to dig deeper.
At the Bistro. Nick takes his ex-factory boredom to new levels by taking Leanne to his (other) old place of work. Those underworld shares must be gold-plated (all the factory workers have them too) as she tries to make him buy the bistro again! Could it be a good move? I like these two, and after the past year of drama, it's needed. Will they rename it back to Nick’s Bistro and resurrect that signage?
Seb’s mural reminded me of something tonight. Craig is/was arty and had an arty girlfriend for a bit. Nina is also arty. A future romance/love triangle perhaps? I am full of Corrie plot ideas if anyone wants to pay!
The best line of tonight's episodes came from Corrie Writer elite @DamonRochefort, with Abi’s wonderful observation on Seb’s veg patch plan - 'They are virtue-signalling so frantically you could see it from space'
Elsewhere tonight - Ryan’s DJ dreams are squashed. Brian regales Geoff’s hilarious vegetable bullying, and Denise buys Daniel a house!

Bought him a house, or maybe signed her house over to him? Whichever, it's suddenly made Daisy take notice.
Great review, but you forgot the weirdest bit, that the final scene was someone vandalising the new garden. Appalling behaviour.
Yet again, Todd lurked in the shadows in true panto style. This time to overhear David and Shona asking each other who could possibly have saved them. I didn't understand the explanation of an entirely different car but, by then, I'd stopped caring. I really don't believe the police would let an officer interview their neighbours. Ever heard of conflict of interests, writers? Or how about reprisals against an officer whose address is hardly confidential.
How careless residents are! One got engaged by mistake and the other got a girlfriend by mistake. I'm guessing Seb's memorial was trashed by Corey or one of his gang.
