Daniel apologises to Daisy re: accusing her of spreading Nicki's past to all the schoolchildren of Weathy High, but she doesn't want to hear it. He says he will put a word in for her at the school but it's to no avail, Naughty Nicki is sacked. Surely Daniel has some other blackmail material up his sleeve - the attempted seduction of himself by Mrs Crawshaw. Ok, she was all over the place due to her hubby leaving her, but still, she's the headteacher and he's - well, it's not very clear since he seems to be running the school, but I think he's still on work placement? That's a great big abuse of power there, Mrs C!
Danny-boy says Nicki & child can move in - does he not remember that his mum gave him a house? Maybe Nicki can live there? Also, I realise Daisy is truly in lurve with Daniel now, but at the beginning she was interested in him because he had a £400K house, doesn't that make her a little bit of a gold-digger? She is angry that Nicki is Daniel's new flatmate, Nicki is angry with a journalist who calls around trying to dig up dirt and Daniel is angry with Max for everything and threatens to tell Amy about the drink-spiking.
In the comedy storyline, after some shenanigans, it is revealed why George doesn't want Eileen staying at his: he doesn't have a wife or a sick relative or even a cat - he snores. Me and my beloved argue about who snores the worst, so I can see why Gorgeous George wouldn't want Eileen to find out. She says he can stay over anyway and even gives him some of Jason's leftover pyjamas. As if Jason ever wore jim-jams, he totally slept in the nude. Or at least that's how I pictured him.
Jacob is after some gainful employment so Amy asks Carla straight out for a job for him. Surely they need more people in packing since PC Plonker Tinker returned to the force? Carla says she'll give him a trial but he's not forgiven re: his drug dealing ways. Pity that Jacob is honestly employed, I quite liked him as a Del-boy style wheeler-dealer.
Sally tries to discuss with Tim his problems in the downstairs department but he refuses to talk about it. This story has gone from bedroom farce to another Issues storyline. Just get some Viagra down yer gob, Tim, you can get it online nowadays. Sally says she just wants a cuddle.

I love Corrie when it connects storylines with a theme - at the moment it's second chances - does Nicky deserve a second chance? Does Jacob? Does Max? Does George deserve a second chance with Eileen? Does Abi deserve a second chance to be a mother? Does Imran deserve a second chance with Toyah? It's quite brilliantly structured if you think about it.
That said, most of those actual storylines are just so dull it's hard to care. Baby Alfie shouldn't be allowed anywhere near either Abi or Toyram. Both Max and Jacob are nasty little thugs. Daniel and Daisy were such a mismatched couple to start with they were going to split eventually. It's hard to empathise with any of these people.
