Coronation Street Episode Review Friday 30 September 2022

Evening Corrie fans, it’s Kelly here with your Friday night review.

Dee-Dee, (the least boring of the Bailey’s) has agreed to take on Stu’s case. Showing more momentum than the rest of her family have managed in three years, she immediately finds gaps in the police investigation and Dodgy Detective Lennox’s address. Then she dispatches Alya to quiz Stu’s daughter Bridget about whether she and her mum really didn’t hear Stu return on the night of the murder. 

Meanwhile in the Rovers, Jenny is trying to get over being ‘dumped’ by Leo with some yoga and an ice bath. When this doesn’t work, she gets herself all dolled up, which is a much better outcome for everyone as she looks fabulous. Glenda, Daisy and Jenny all try ringing Leo’s phone, not realising it’s in Slimy Stephen’s pocket all the time.  

Leo’s dad, Teddy arrives trying to find out why his son hasn’t called him and when Jenny explains that he left for Canada without her, he tells her she only has herself to blame. Obviously sour grapes, didn’t he try to crack onto her once? 

Back on the Street, Bernie spots Dev looking depressed over Aadi. Inviting him back to Chez Brown-Winter, she reassures him that he’s a good dad, tempts him with some out-of-date fruitcake and eventually gets him into bed (exactly my seduction routine, Bernie!). This bit of afternoon delight causes him to be late picking Aadi up from hospital and to misplace his underpants. Because Dev is never far from farce, the lost pants end up re-emerging in front of his two children who are disgusted with him (teenagers today are so prudish). They forgive him when Bernie explains that he had just needed someone to confide in. 

In other news, James decides that he’s going to become a football coach after giving Lilly two lessons. I wish career changes were this easy in real life. I mean I once decided I wanted to be a barrister after winning an argument with my dad, but the Royal Courts of Justice kept muttering something about a degree in law. 

Back with the Free Stu Campaign, Dee-Dee and Alya discover that the man himself has gone missing with Detective Lennox’s address. Dashing over they find Stu shouting at the retired copper to admit that he tortured him into making a confession. His wife threatens to call the police, saying that her husband has dementia.

As Dee-Dee and Alya escort Stu back to the Street, he tells them he’s given up hope – they won’t be able to get Lennox to confess and he’ll never be reconciled with his daughter. But as he considers dropping the case Bridget turns up and asks if he wants to meet his granddaughter properly. 

And that’s it for this week. Catch you in the comments or on twitter @mskelstar.

Preview of tonight's Coronation Street - Friday 30 September 2022


Friday 30th September

ALYA TRIES TO NAIL DOWN BRIDGET’S SUPPORT Dee-Dee agrees to take on Stu’s case, pointing out gaps in the police inquiry and suggesting they speak to Bridget and go over her Mum’s statement. When Alya quizzes Bridget about the night of Charlie’s murder, she backs up her Mum’s story. Getting upset, Bridget threatens to call the police. Meanwhile when Dee-Dee reveals she’s found an address for Lennox, the officer originally in charge of Stu’s case, Stu grabs the piece of paper and disappears. As he hammers on Lennox’s door will Stu get the answers he’s looking for or will he jeopardise his case further? 

BERNIE HAS DEV’S FULL ATTENTION When Dev apologises for overreacting about the broken trophy, he pours out his heart to Bernie, blaming himself for failing to protect Aadi. Bernie assures him nobody could wish for a better dad and Dev’s touched by her kindness. 

JAMES SEARCHES FOR HIS PASSION James attends a job interview at the Bistro but when he admits to Debbie that he has no interest in bar work and is just trying to appease his family, Debbie’s unimpressed. Meanwhile Lily tells James that she made it onto the football team and it’s all down to him, giving James food for thought. 

ELSEWHERE Teddy calls in the pub and is surprised to see Jenny behind the bar. Jenny explains how Leo left for Canada without her. Teddy asserts she’s only herself to blame.
