* yes, I know who it is, don't write in.
Talking of hunks, I was watching Chivalry, Steve Coogan and Sarah Solemani's #MeToo comedy-drama, and who should turn up as a buffed babe but Richard Fleeshman - our very own original goth Craig Harris.
What a difference 15 years make.
Anyway, none of this has anything to do with tonight's episode, which is Peter-heavy. He buys a bottle of single malt for Mr Thorne (who is one, in everyone's side) and Aggie, whose patients are lying in their own urine whilst she goes around trying to bring down her nemesis, explains why Mr T has been suspended to the Barlows. I'm pretty sure that this is a breach of hospital confidence and a sackable offence, Ags! The chief surgeon explains that there is more - Mr Thorne took a selfie of himself holding up Peter's liver with the caption "Anyone for foie gras?" I'm sorry, but that is funny. Actually, I'm not sorry - the NHS staff cope with life and death every day, overworked and underpaid, and a bit of dark humour never killed anyone, unlike alcoholism. I wonder if the storyliner who came up with this had been reading Adam Kay's memoir and got inspiration? Anyhoo, Peter spots Mr T coming out of Kate Oates Memorial and demands an apology. When he doesn't get one, he follows him to the hotel set where he lamps Mr T one and is carted off to the cop shop and charged with assault. You crazy fool! Surely Mr Thorne is too posh 'n' privileged for the Chariot Hotel anyway.
Aadi invites Summer for coffee which Asha reckons is a date, but Summer has her eye on someone else and has to let Aadi down gently. She meets up with Aaron in the community garden and tells him she likes him. I think relationships between people in support groups is discouraged, non? At any rate, she tells him about her body dysmorphia and bulimia and he legs it. Boys, hey.
Sarah puts Kirk on reception to keep him out of trouble and away from the horn (missus) but he gets performance anxiety and Jacob has to answer the phone on his behalf, ending up securing a large order, for which Kirk gets the credit (and the commission).
Mary needs to sleep for eight hours otherwise it affects her hormones (you and me both, Mar) and George's snoring kept her awake all night. Georgie-porgie reveals that he is suffering from sleep apnea and has got a Darth Vader-esque mask for sleeping.
Oh and Kelly admits to Abi that she paid for her solicitor and Abi tells her that Ben was lying about her buying drugs. Kelly repeats this to Imran, innocently believing that her ex-foster dad didn't know about the fibs. I suppose it makes a change for a man, rather than a a woman, to be desperate for a baby on Corrie. Also I'm sure Toyah would use cloth nappies, not disposable ones.
