Evening Corrie fans, it’s Kelly here with your Friday night review.
Sarah and Adam are planning a romantic date as apparently, it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Which would make it Sunday in Wethie world, no? Ahh but wait, Max has a meeting at the school which means that it's Friday, yes? Please don’t tax me like this Corrie, it’s already been a tough Wordle week.
Anyway, starting with Friday world - Max is panicking that he will get expelled and sent to a pupil referral unit. Whilst Daniel is wrestling with his conscience as to whether he should confess to pushing the little toerag down the stairs. Mr Osbourne finally decides to come clean, but is saved by the bell (see what I did there) by Mrs Crawshaw deciding not to expel Max.
In other news, when Elaine plans a movie night for her and Tim, Sally attempts to sabotage it by telling her that ‘Terms of Endearment’ is his favourite film. It backfires when the big soppy sod loves it. Also, Kelly plans to move in with her mum but after Gary tells her he feels protective of her, decides to stay.
And in the parallel Sunday world, loopy Lydia continues her reign of terror. I don’t wish to victim blame, but I can’t help thinking that Sarah is unduly aiding her in these bunny-boiling endeavours by consistently being dumber than a box of rocks.
Case in point: Adam comes round to the factory to give her a new set of keys. Does she put them straight in her bag like a normal person? Of course not, she leaves them on the side of the desk to swan off doing god knows what.
Lydia of course nicks them and lets herself in to snip the heads of roses, photograph Adam’s credit card and send herself a saucy message using their IP address to look like it’s come from him. Then when she sees Sarah, she persuades her to join her down the pub where she dupes her with a sob story about having her heart broken by a married man. And before you can say Glenn Close, she’s bought herself some sexy underwear (presumably with Adam’s credit card) and left it for herself at the factory as a Valentine’s gift.
I mean I’ll give her this, she’s a multi-tasker. She managed all this despite having a full-time job and being a single mum. Don’t even get me started on who’s looking after the poor little tyke while his mum is creeping around other people’s flats, drinking in the Rovers and letting herself into the factory late at night. Is he working in the same underground salt mine as Harry?

Ta-ra for this week.
