Evening Corrie fans, it’s Kelly here with your Friday night review.
It’s the early hours of the morning and Gary is sneaking around dressed like the Milk-Tray man. He tells Maria that he has to move the body and sets off to do it in in broad daylight. Good thinking master criminal! Unsurprisingly he’s unsuccessful and gets chased off by a security guard. Feeling out of options, he tells Maria he’s going to hand himself in.
Meanwhile Adam is back in the flat and Sarah’s good books. He’s decided that he’s going to make amends to all the exes he might have wronged and starts by taking some random fling out for an expensive lunch at the Bistro. I’m not sure he’s thought this through. I get the impression Adam’s little black book is about the size of War & Peace. If he’s working backwards, he’ll be bankrupt by the time he gets to 2018.
Over at No. 4, Tim is hoping the cardiologist will lift his sex ban at his appointment tomorrow. With Sally back a day early he tries to lure her into bed by telling her it’s tomorrow in Australia and he can’t wait to go down under. Which makes her pull this face.
Unfortunately, before he can get his didgeridoo out, Elaine walks in.
In other news, Craig is doing his open-mouthed vacant expression again, which Faye interprets as meaning he’s about to dump her. This is unfortunate as she’s just found out she’s pregnant (rolls eyes), because of course Weatherfield exists in a parallel universe where the pill hasn’t been invented! Craig tells her he’s delighted about the pregnancy and that he’s decided to join the police force again. He makes a speech about how doing the right thing isn’t always black and white, which I think is code for yep I’m a bent copper and I’m ok with that. We all know where this is going to lead...
Back at Victoria Court, Laura’s PI tells her he’s positive that Rick is dead and that Gary is the prime suspect. When Gazza returns from his thwarted exhumation, she confronts him and he immediately confesses. Master criminal again.
She calls him evil for worming his way into Kelly’s life after he’d killed her dad but he tells her he wanted to make things better for her. She says she’s going to tell the police but he tells her it’s a relief and that it’s only a matter of time before the body’s found anyway.
As Gary goes to tell Maria that the gig’s up, Laura overhears Kelly telling Simon how Gary and Maria have given her hope that she does have a future after all. The three of them all arrive back at the flat in time to see Laura being put into a police car and are told she’s confessed to killing Rick.
And that's it for this week. Does anyone care that Maria won the election? Express your disenchantment with democracy with me in the comments section or on twitter @mskelstar.
